Prayers

Prayers are words of comfort for one another. They breathe life to a dwindling soul. I am glad God gave me a best friend who is also a prayer warrior. Jo and I pray freely for each other. I am appreciative of her words of encouragement. Tonight she prayed the most powerful prayer for me. It was a prayer like no other. It reached out to the depths of my soul and uplifted me. I was then at the park admiring the stars reflecting on my journey, trying to peer into the sky for a glimpse of heaven. Seeing Orion in the purple sky assured me that God is still in control. It’s an assurance seeing that the universe that is held within God’s handspan is still in place at His command. 
Yes, Jo, let God’s peace be the foundation of my faith, the peace that guards my mind and heart. 
O Lord my God, when I’m in awesome wonder
Consider all the works Thy hands have made
I see the stars, I hear the roaring thunder
Thy power throughout the universe displays!

Jo and I have planned a weekend getaway! It will be our secret!

Orli

Orlando, who is blooming, is my dog. He is an active, affectionate (to the point of promiscuity), and faithful dog (except when he finds a smaller dam he can hump). He is the clown between the 2 of them.  
Last night while he was asleep in his bed, he was awokened by a sound outside our windows. I think it was the barking of a dog across the street. It was pretty faint but he picked it up in his sleep. He immediately sprang to action and barking like a macho-dog would. But being the scaddy-cat, he ran over to me, hid under legs for cover. I looked down and laughed at him, and told him he’s the silliest dog in the world, and that everything was ok. If you’ve seen Orli before, you would understand why I laughed at him. He has a perpetual guilty look, and when he’s afraid, he looks desperately cute.
I reflected on the incident and saw a parallel. Who do we run to when we are afraid? Who do we put our trust when we are plagued with uncertainty? Who do we cast our cares to when our hopes are dashed? Orli may not understand it when i told him everything’s ok, especially when his instincts were kicked in, and firing up, to display an alert typical of dogs. He didn’t let his instincts rule him but subjected them to my leadership as his Alpha. I deeply appreciate his trust in me. His trust pleases me.
We are blessed with intelligence but even geniuses cannot touch God if they have no faith in God’s higher ways. How can finite beings ever fully understand an infinite Being? We can never totally comprehend the ways of God. When God convicts our hearts to trust Him, let’s simply trust Him. Abandon our fears and pains at the altar, and not take it back. Quieten our hearts. So that we can hear Him when He speaks words of comfort to us. How we feel has no bearing on God’s sovereignty. He’s still in charge. He’s still on His throne. 
Footnote:
Orli is lying in his bed, chin on the wall of the bed, reposing but his gaze is ever on me. He’s such a darling.

Think-tanks

Aihua is a deep thinker. She often gives me another perspective to look at any given situation. I am more of a thinker but had more of a feeler in the past (I do still am subjected to the stirrings of my heart. But of course, being a woman!) but her fresh perspective as a third party often makes me go "ahhh!" Just on Tues she said this to me,
"Sometimes they are stray thoughts. DOn’t have to analyse them. Just let pass. Like strangers on the streets."
I tend to need to pen down every thought that randomly runs through my head. I need to analyse, process, edit and reprocess it to refine it, before I decide if I want to reject or retain it. If I let it pass, I am afraid I will feel very gan kor! hahaha! I am ADD so lots of random thoughts fleet through my head. So penning them down helps me make sense of life. It helps that I can be hyperfocused although sometimes I can be quite a scatterbrain (I still can’t find my watch and Oakelys shades!!) with no situational awareness. 
My mentor’s son exhibits symptoms of ADD as well. More of ADD on the next entry. Gotta go!

Sing of Your Great Love

Filed under: Sing Praise
All that is within me Lord
Will bless Your Holy name
I live my live to worship You alone
You brought me out of darkness
And into Your glorious light
Forever I will sing of Your great love
Forever I will sing of Your great love

I love to see You glorify
To see You lifted high
I yearn to see all nations bow their knees
It’s You alone Lord Jesus
Who can cause the coldest heart
To find Your love and everlasting peace
To find Your love and everlasting peace

Chorus:
Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord

Bridge:
Your trumpet will sound
And all heavens will know
That the time has finally come
For the bride to take Her place
And we’ll hear the angels sing 

Snap!

I’ve found blogging to be a good way of capturing the moments in my life. Such as those moments last night.
Very stressed out at work. I am near breaking point. Have decided on a few course of actions:
1) Escape to somewhere without telling anyone (except Mum, Ah Ma, Jo who will in all likelihood escape with me)
2) Adopt a just-do-it attittude towards the pile of paperwork without any emotion (It doesn’t really work with me because of the time involved in the paperwork! I’ve always felt it is stealing precious minutes from more important tasks that matter!)
3) Ice cream! It’s the only solution! Yeah! Ice cream! In fact I am going to meet my mentor for lunch this afternoon! And yes we shall have ice cream!
