Lord, keep me focus in You

I feel so sad that we forget God so soon in our life..
As humans living in this world, many things overwhelm us each days..
There are many things for us to worry each day...
No wonder God says, "Do not worry about tomorrow for each day has enough troubles of its own." Matthew 6:34
Yet, its even better that we don't worry even for today but rest so secure in His arms knowing that He WILL work things ALL out for us!

Few days ago, I can be so secure & joyful in God's presence, today I can feel so stress over my work again. I begin to understand how easily men (Christians) feel away from God & do things in our own strength & then feel so frustrated.

The solution is not to dwell in this frustrations but quickly pray & praise Him over again! I wrote a Psalms just a while ago & decide to share it here.

In all:
Spend time with God = joy
Neglect God = sianness & frustrations

So if you feel sian, decide to spend quality time with God again. It's that simple... trust in Him & be Submerged in His love again!!!!

Guaranteed joy again! I am so frustrated with myself today that I neglect God again & end up feeling overwhelm by all the worldly things again!
Stress! Ai ya... it shouldnt be this way!
That is why I pray & wrote the Psalm below. =)

Dear Lord, dear Jesus!

How easy men fall! Lord, please be with me & help me to stand firm in You!
Lord, let me not neglect You but to praise You & meet with you daily.
Lord, how easy for men to neglect You & I know how painful it must be to You.
Lord, forgive me for the times I’m away. For the times that I so easily fall into sin & go my own ways & not depend on You.

Lord, you are my only Lord and best friend.
How can I neglect You?
There is none like You!

Father, as I turn my eyes upon You, let all things fall away.
Everything becomes dimmer when I turn my eyes upon You.
Lord, yes… You are the only one I desire!
How can I ever forget You?
Lord, You are so good to me!
In so many ways, you been good to me!

Lord, help me not neglect you or let the worldly things overwhelm me.
Lord, I pray for your hands to be with me always.
Let no news move me, but I will rest secure in You
And to know that You are always there for me!

Yes Lord, you are always there for me!
What is there to worry?
I am secure in your arms!
I am safe in your arms!
Lord, I love you, I want to be with you always.
Lord, keep me by Your side always
And help me bring others to You too!

THERE IS NONE LIKE YOU

There is none like you!

Wonderful song...

Only Jesus, only God loves us with an unfailing love.
God is so merciful, you will always find Him waiting with a wide open arms to welcome you back into His arms. He loves you. He is no respecter of people. He loves all in China, all in India, all in US, all in Indonesia, all in Korean, all in Arfaganistan, all in irad, all in SIngapore. He loves you & me.

No matter how far we may go, He is always waiting... for us to come home one day. No matter how shameful or guilty we have felt, His arms are always opened. Laura shared this fav verse of hers with me.

Isaiah 54: 8
"...... But with everlasting love I will have compassion on you.
says the Lord, Your redeemer."

God's love is everlasting... nothing we do can make him love us more or less.
He is the same today, yesterday and forever. Amen!

Back from Cruise!

It was refreshing to see the sunset.. posted a few pictures up, hope you can see them! I thought the cruise trip is okay only, meaning for the money that I am paying, I dont think it's really worth it. (Thank God it's free!)

The cost is around $600 per pax for a 3 days 2 nights stay.

Nothing much to do if you are going with friends. With family or children might be better because they have alot of hosts/hostess to play games with you; to entertain you.

As for me, I find the live band with great singings, BBQ at the poolside and sunset most appealing! Yup, thank God for a bunch of new people that I know from the cruise too. Simple, lovable people whom i like! They make this whole trip more enjoyable! =)

Thank God for this trip, to fulfil my mom's dream of bringing me to the cruise! Yup, I know she's there with me! =) Thank AIA too! =)

********************************************************************

Been back to work for the past 3 days, Monday to Wednesday! So tired, didn't rest much after I came home! Meeting on Monday, Tuesday appointments, Wednesday Training & Phone calls...

Yup, some people may envy me for having a flexible working time, (like now, it's thursday & I'm choosing to rest today doing the things I want!) but they didn't realise that it is really hard work being a Financial Services Consultant! There are so many paper works to handles, calls to returns, premiums to collect, articles to read, investments to update, news to discover, emails to write.. besides the normal appointments, and phone callings. It was hard work! That is why the company will always reward us who have put in hard work to be the best that we can be, to help people get protections everywhere. We have to face some friends who deserted you when they know you are in this line... (Thank God I don't have many of such friends!) or people who wonder why you go into this line without knowing how noble this job can be!

Yup, it doesn't matter how others may look at me, I know this is what my Lord wants me to do for now & I'm happy to be walking in my destiny, growing as a precious child of God.

Today, I'm going to draw! Haven't been drawing for a long time, it's time to draw again! Christmas is not here yet! Normally, I will draw a copy for my clients on Christmas, but this time, I will draw a copy for clients who bought from me recently! =)

Never mind how many would probably think how time wasting this gal is doing again, drawing & doing "nothing" again... nope, Im enjoying my precious time loving the Lord & people. When I draw, I thank God for this gift ( though it's not perfect!) but I think i'm grateful that I didn't have to learn art in my life to know how to draw. Im thankful & when I draw for people, I'm showing them love from the Father above.

It plays my favorite song too:

Laid aside your majesty.

Forever and ever, I will love You.G D Em

You are the only one who died for me, Bm C

Gave Your life to set me free. G Am7 D D7 G

So I lift my voice to You in ador - a - tion

I love this song, I love the lyrics....

That is why I have been playing this song all day today and I want to share with you.

JESUS! There is none like you!

Whatever happens, I know there is always these arms of Jesus that I can embrace! Just being in God's presence, I am content!

I was reminded of the blog that I wrote after I came back from Aceh, Indonesia. The people there are so happy & content that there are shelters & food everyday. They live happily, grateful that the sun still shines every morning.

These people in the video, I believe are filippinos or indonesians. They love Jesus & they are so joyful. People who are content with everything they have in life are happy & joyful people. They thank God constantly, a grateful heart is a humble heart, and they shall see God for their hearts are pure. People who are miserable are people who are not grateful for the things they already have, so they strive to get more, and end up hurting theyselves because as human beings, we fails by our own strength. They fail to see all that God have given, their eyes are blinded by the materialism of this world.

Yup, I agree this world is getting more evil & people are living better lives now. People are getting more selfish, because all they see is what we can get, what we want in lives... so when everyone is selfish, this world continue to become more evil. That is why in God's kingdom, everything is different. Give generously and more will be given onto you. Give of your lives, your time, your love, your money to people... and more will be given onto you.

I'm not saying all Christians are so giving... we are still humans... those who love the Lord will become more like Jesus, and these traits can then manifest in our beings. Trying to give out of our selfish human selves are difficult. Only in God's love, these can be natural.

Because of this, I love simple people. I really do. I think I say this hundreds of times but it's true. Simple people who simply love the Lord, love freely, love people, thinking not of what they can do for God, for what God can do through them constantly, simple people who don't think of how to satisfy themselves by material things constantly, but always thinking of who is hurting now & say a little prayers for them, simple people who thank God for everything they have in life, whether in health or sickness, whether in poor or riches..... I think they are beautiful... they warm my heart, especially in this evil world.

Look at those faces of those who love the Lord around you, you see beautiful people all around.... look at those in the video, I think they are beautiful.. =)

Bless you all who love the Lord! =)

Star Cruise Virgo

Yup, Im heading to cruise this evening till Sunday morning!
I always remember the times when my mom said to me, "Ai ya, I will bring you to cruise one day!"
The reason is because my family, parents, Jeff & Lifen went to cruise without me few years ago. Why? Because I was having my exams that time!
So sad!
This cruise trip come just in time for me to refresh myself, I hope I can have a good retreat for my soul!

Thank you Jesus! Watch over me & all my loved ones!
Watch over me & all my possessions!
Protect us from all harm & evil.
Bless us indeed Lord! =)
