since then and on love

God's love is never-ending, ever lasting, all day, every day. :)

Start of the last working month at bdo. :) Got an offer from pwc on Sept 8th, start Dec 5th.

A miracle.

One in a line of many... our reach must always exceed our grasp.

Having a sense of how real God is. Of his goodness and love and heart towards me.

Have a great sense of being rescued.

My heart is overwhelmed.

Just got back from St. Thomas'. Sad day. Lost dreams. But none that is irredeemable.. God is bigger.

Random thoughts.

Read this:: Thought it beautiful::

"Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being "in love" which any of us can convince ourselves we are.
Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossom had fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree and not two."
--St. Augustine

on the verge of a new thing

the music is back, strong than before...

the words are back too, subtly...

this week is pregnant with anticipation...

of the best that is yet to come. :)

thank you Jesus.

xox

undone by colour

it's official, hillsong's remake of rolling stone's "she's a rainbow" absolutely rocks. wow.

colour just happened. it was life-changing. again. :)

and now i'm torn between staying put and this other thing which i think could be the thing that leads me to other things which could be the dream... but i don't know... arghhhhhhhhhhhh....

purity of heart is to will one thing. die to self?

Perhaps a little more could be said

about my life as I know it.

(For the record):

I've just moved into a new three bedroom flat with K, N and C. It's been amazing (so far) and long may that continue. I have the biggest room with the hugest closets and I'm loving it. I just had M Flolo over for dinner and hangout and we watched "While You Were Sleeping" which is my favourite romcom - as cheesy and juvenile and uncool as that sounds. Don't judge!

I'm a qualified chartered accountant. No idea how that happened but there you go - three years in the making. Thank you Jesus.

My sister, Abigail, has moved back to Malaysia and I miss her so much.

I have a new niece, Eva.

Life is sweet - Jesus is sweeter. God's love never fails. I am no smarter nor clued up about life, but at this stage I'm inclined to quote the words of a certain RF in discussing the 'balanced life': "Love God, do whatever you want".

Sounds about right to me.

Oh and I'm going to Malawi in three days... and then chinese new year in Malaysia for two weeks.

and before the year is over

I shall declare, that 2010 has been the best year yet... and the best is yet to come. :)

that is all.

i love family, friends, church, god, lola even more... more than i thought was ever possible... blessed beyond belief.

a day of sorts

just when you think you've come to a place where you are cruisin and everything's rockin... you make the most stupidest slip of tongue which you know you could have avoided, and everything is ruined. you are doomed to another 10 years in the doghouse.

oh well.

could be worse.

anyhow.

God is Bigger.

today

im home, poorly, as the english put it.

i miss my mother + malaysia home.

+ lola

+ daddy

+ warm weather.

an old song in my head..love the lyrics

You rescued me
and picked me up
a gift of hope
and grace revealed
a life transformed
in righteousness
o lord
you have rescued me

forgiving me
you healed my heart
and set me free
from sin and death
you brought me life
you made me whole
o lord
you have rescued me

and you loved me
before i knew you
for you knew me for all time
i've been created
in your image
O lord
and you bought me
and you sought me
your blood poured out for me
a new creation
in your image
o lord
you rescued me.
