this world is not my home

o dear Lord
i want to go Home.
far away from this world of sin.
far away from a world of cares.
God will wipe away every tear from my eyes.

knock knock: another timely reminder

Aunty Michele reminded me that no matter what, my response to the Lord is the most important and that is independent of the word/ actions of others.

My confidence should be in the Lord.

In thee, O God, do I put my trust, let me never be ashamed; Psalm 31:1

yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed. Psalm 25:3

I have hoped in thy word; Psalm 119:81(KJV) O remember thy word unto thy servant, upon which thou hast caused me to hope. Psalm 119:49

palm sunday 2012

dear Jesus,

today marks Palm Sunday.
just wondering: how many more palm sundays, passion weeks and easter sundays do i have on earth before I get to see you face to face?

weekend is always fleeting.
my flesh yearns for a longer rest.
life feels like a never-ending season of work.
but i have to be thankful- in ALL circumstances!
school starts tomorrow and work definitely starts tomorrow as well.
Lord, needing your grace, each and every moment.
into Your hands i consecrate next week.
a challenging one.

fear

God grants NO grace for my imagination.

“Fret not yourself; it tends only to evil” Psalm 37.8

"If any thought robs you of peace, it is an enemy of your soul; give it no recognition." girltalk

a solemn reminder

surrender is not a one-off event.

surrender is a daily denying of one self, taking up of one's Cross, and following after Jesus who died and bled for me.

God's grace

dear Lord Jesus,
thank You for bringing me through Monday and Tuesday.
many deadlines.
needing more of Thy grace each day!
can't wait to get a breather.
