Psalm 46
1 God is our refuge and strength,
an ever-present help in trouble.
2 Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way
and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,
3 though its waters roar and foam
and the mountains quake with their surging.
Selah
4 There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,
the holy place where the Most High dwells.
5 God is within her, she will not fall;
God will help her at break of day.
6 Nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall;
he lifts his voice, the earth melts.
7 The LORD Almighty is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress.
Selah
8 Come and see the works of the LORD,
the desolations he has brought on the earth.
9 He makes wars cease to the ends of the earth;
he breaks the bow and shatters the spear,
he burns the shields [b] with fire.
10 "Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth."
11 The LORD Almighty is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress.
Selah
i still remember clearly i need to prepare this chapter 2 years ago when i was going to Heyuan, China for my first ever mission trip. during that 2 weeks, everyone of us need to take turn to prepare for he devotion and shared about it. our team leader had chosen every chapter of psalm for each of us. so either we prepare before we go over or else when we are there, we prepare it. so anyway, i was given psalm 46. it was such a conforting and good verse.
always remember be still and know he is our god. he is our refuge and strength. this evening services in church, before singing the song 'still', worship shared on psalm 46 and it brings back my memories in china how we face challenges yet we never give in but keep fighting praying fervently for breakthrough. during this season of struggles, challenges, valleys, it reminded me of all those thing, i shall be still and know he is my god. he have given me the strength for it. don't allow whatever happens around me drawn away my attention from HIM but on those thing happening around. though i was serving in media today i really almost cried when the song started. it's also exactly the song i chose to sing in the mission before i shared the words. god bringing back where i can be strong and rely on him and now is the time to quiet myself. BE STILL !!!
Still lyrics
Hide me now
Under Your wings
Cover me
Within Your mighty hand
When the oceans rise and thunders roar
I will soar with You above the storm
Father you are King over the flood
I will be still and know You are God
Find rest my soul
In Christ alone
Know His power
In quietness and trust
When the oceans rise and thunders roar
I will soar with You above the storm
Father You are king over the flood
I will be still and know You are God

the armour of god
The Armour of God
10Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. 12For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 18And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints.
really just wanted to share this verses and also another one psalm 46 in the next blog.

lately some people those are close to me said i've got high patience and tolerance but i was just thinking as i reflecting back i realised i do. but at the same time i was thinking how far can i go this time? i know for sure i wouldn't burst in front of people but it's kind of suffocating me in a way. i really want to let go yet as days goes by, i get to know more things happening and got frustrated about it. i know it's not over yet what till i'm back home as in really home. i felt at times day really past by slightly slower as you're unhappy or being hurt in the matter. i just wish things didn't happen and wouldn' happen but shouldn't it's unavoidable since it had happen. turning back the time is impossible. the more you invest, the more your effort, the more you give in, the more you feel the pain, hurt, sorrow...you can just name it.
today spoke of armour of god. we should put the full armour of god. not partly but th full ARMOUR OF GOD !!! it was fantastic message. sometimes we tense to ignore did no realised the things happening around us where the enemy is at work. but we need to stand firm until the very end. it occurs to everyone of us, as paul said it. whatever we are facing in our life now whether good or bad, we need to put on the armour of god to be ready all the time. even in good times does no mean the bad times wouldn't come.
each other day i need to forgive now. thanks for your word and encouragement. i definitely going to survived through this season and bringing breakthrough to th next season. there is greater things awaiting for me as the challenges bigger than i can take it. my father in heaven is more than a conqueror and working in the spiritual realm fighting for me, my families and friends around the whole....love you always...you are the best and irreplacable in the world..you rocks and rules in my life...

updates updates updates
it's been such a long time since i last blog. life been busy blogging definitely is not first priority. busy with what i doesn't know but seems to be things non-stop.
from the month of september to october was 'excited', out of expectation, like a roller coster. with a glimspe of eyes, things been going around, the world is still moving but i felt i was stopped during that moment of life thinking what is going on. it's sor of a nightmare yet not really. till the point i do not know how to express myself. but one thing for sure i'm thankful for all the people, my love ones standing by my side going through together and those going through with me. i love every single one of you. very much love and hugs to you all.
during valleys i'v grown for sure and a time of learning. it was a big challenge and forever HE proven He is even more faithful in my life. i can't deny the fact, He is there by my side, walking with me side by side especially in those hurts, sorrow, things are out of my hands, not forgetting the joyous moment, the happy times. HE s always there. always love you and forever grateful for who you are.
now is the time to think what am i going to do the next half a year orwhat is going to happen to me in another month to come. i'm excitd with he unseen yet anxious about it. i know i shouldn't be anxious about it. keep dreaming i know oe day it will come true. without a vision/dreams we will be dead. everyday is a brand new hope, brand new day with a brand new grace.
i'm pump up this saturday i'm able to do VPS for church again. that's something i'm looking forward as this is my very last time serving in CityLife church before i move back. it was a blessing to be in the media team, learning so much and while enjoying it. media always been something i love getting involved so one of my dreams had been succeed. i wll definitely misses the team especially this year i wouldn't be able to get involve in christmas production. that's the best part of the year and best production to get involve. i just remember how satisfied it is and what an experience.
it's already the 4th day back in Melbourne but i realised i'm dead boring here already and really it's time for me to move on. seems like this place does not belong to me anymore. god really know the best when i should be here and leave. i just felt so different not the last time how i felt and enjoyed so much. thank god i was well prepared by you. right now this moment seriously i don't feel i will misses here a lot yet as in not those food or whatever i don't know what does it called.
anyway, just some random stuff i wanted to write. this proves i'm too bored and don't where to write and what should i do...anyone want to go out for a drink??haha...it's like a say from me back at home coz i'm still not used to it staying at home for the whole 4 days !!! craziness for me...geezzz
