Flirting w the world VS standing firm on God's word

Hello!!

It has been a great 2 weeks! Knowing people at a deeper level, facing fears and truths.

Have been reflecting abt how im living my life. How on one hand, I think the worldly things are fun and cool; but yet, I also know that there are definitely somethings I will not do bcoz God said so.

It took me really sometime to recognise how im "flirting" w the world. Sometimes in, sometimes out, sometimes everywhere. And im always thankful how God has placed "safe friends" ard me. They r not the wild kind, but wild enough like any other non christians.

So, what got me thinking the other way round was,

Psalm 103:2 "Praise the Lord , my soul, and forget not all his benefits."

Indeed! What was I thinking? Following God's word or surrounding myself w close christian friends is definitely something that has more benefits than disbenefits. Hahaha.

So, setting myself to seek the higher and deeper things of God. And I'm looking forward to where God will bring me. :)

The rest of the Psalms 103 reads...

Psalm 103:2-5 NIV
Praise the Lord , my soul, and forget not all his benefits— who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

Some food for thought!! :)

Jesus, im thankful. :)

Philippians 4:8 NKJV

"Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are  noble, whatever things are  just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are  lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there  is any virtue and if there  is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things."

Amen.

I may not have everything of what society defines a average 28 year old, but im thankful for all that God has so graciously given me.

Firstly, very very very thankful for my family. These 3 very amazing people, who have had scolded me (and scolded by me), fought w me (and got hit by me), shouted by me, hated by me and I even thought of leaving them in a number of occasion, still loves me, care for me, thinks for me, provide for me, walk by me, speak for me, respect me and have never left me.

Its really only during the past year that God showed me the love that was so easily available at home.. I can finally trust the "妈妈是爱你的".

I've been through many stuffs especially with my mum. We fought the most and I can never feel loved by her..but when I realized how much lack of concern she hasnt received, I begin to give her more but she wasnt ready to receive and backed fire even more.

Until I begin to see how capable is my mum, how brave she has been, I see her in a different light.. she really doesnt need someone to give her attention, but someone tt respects her, support her and stand by her.

Lord, thank u for showing me all these. Im really very very 幸福 to have this family.  Thank U so much.. and I pray that they will know u and accept u and love u one day. :) I believe nothing is impossible for U, almighty God. :) in Jesus' name, amen.

Psalms 4

Psalms 4:4 NKJV

Be angry, and do not sin. Meditate within your heart on your bed, and be still. Selah

Wow.. mostly I would know "be angry and not sin" but this verse gave me more! Meditate within your heart, which means dont lash out yet... and tells me that I got to be on my bed! Haha maybe somewhere comfortable, so I can think properly... and not only that... the bible tells me to be still....

Oh gosh.. how hard would that be?!?!

Im those kind that will leash out or do something when im angry. So.. hmmm

In this psalms, it talks about trusting God..

In both verses....
Psalms 4:5
Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, And put your trust in the Lord .

Psalms 4:8
I will both lie down in peace, and sleep; For You alone, O Lord , make me dwell in safety.

So.. I guess when we r angry, it is our pride that is hurt.. but when we trust in the Lord, we submit out pride and rights to Jesus and trust him in that He will make things right.

Haha dont know how tt is going to pen out. But I will want to learn and I know God will teach me...

Oh gosh.. Lord, grant me wisdom and discernment in my anger!!

Tuition kids.... failing prelims..

Its nearing the psle / n levels.. im seriously panicking coz they failed their prelims and I recently found out that my t kids have been copying from answer sheets and they r not learning at all!!

Im totally freaking out, and being more strict on my kids now. I realized the value of  严师出高徒 .

Am praying..almost to the verge of my tears..

Also what im doing now is that im training my students mental calculation and if they didnt know how to do the questions I'll teach them but they will have to copy the answer for 30 times.

Because by this time (less than 3 weeks to exams) the should know how to do. If they dont, they will have to memorise it.

Most of them lack confidence and because I was too nice, they just left the question for me to "solve". So laziness needs to be punished, they have to do extra work and most imptly....

There is not shortcuts to learning..

Lessons I've learnt:

1. no matter how trust worthy the kid is.. kids will always be kids... answer sheets needs to be taken away for their own good. I need to know what they do not know, rather than having the kid be too afraid of making mistakes.

2. Be strict when teaching. Kids need to know to take learning seriously. If not there will be nothing they take seriously at this point of time.

Keep fingers crossed. Doing my best letting God do the rest. :(

Separate blogs

Haha. Decided to leave this blog as a personal blog after seeing my prayer lists, etc. I hope to retain what i set up. haha. i think this blog is 9 years old!! hahaha. when all the blogging is so popular. while it is still popular, somehow it has turned commercial, when famous bloggers get car sponser and like 10 thousands of people follow their blogs. hahaha. its fun to see how writing and bring out some really interesting characters. But anyway, this will be just a diary kinda blog. I've set up another blog - www.chunsjourney.blogspot.com, for my skin care review. the newest thing i'm in now. so feel free to follow. I talk about how bad my skin used to be and how it has improved over the years. its still left with some scars, and i'm hoping by God's grace, it will continue to improve. :) I believe in Prayer in everything i do. so do pray for yourselves too. Let me know if i could pray for you if you're reading this. :) Prayers for free!! Come get it!! :D I promise I will make time to pray. ;)
