Faith

When it comes to faith, one asks a lot of questions.  What is faith? What does it actually mean? What does it entails?  A lot of times, faith is explained as believing in something that you cannot see or feel.  The dictionary.com define faith as confidence or trust in a person or thing.  But when it comes to Jesus Christ, what is faith?  It's easy to say, have faith sister or brother, have faith that God is in control and etc.  But when reality hits you right at your face, can you still say have faith?  Can you still have faith?

Faith hits me right at the face tonight, when I busy myself managing the stage for Jaeson Ma Music Rally at PGRM.  Faith hits me when Ps Joeann shared that we have nothing, no money at all, just a vision and a dream to do a big one for God.  Money is something we do not have.  But what we have then, is faith.  Faith to step out and say, God, here I am, use me for I am yours.  Faith is when everything is telling you it's the wrong thing to do, it's the worse ever commitment you're going to make, you'd say yes for God.  Faith, is believing beyond what we can see right now, and believing and trusting and KNOWING that this is what God calls us to do, and He will bring it to pass.  This team that has come together, showed me what their faith in God truly is.  Their faith shows me that, no matter what fear or worries we may have, we can have faith in God knowing that He is in control.  Their faith shows me that, no matter what you plan or want things to work out, we can have faith in God, knowing that He is our master and holds the blueprint of our plans in His hands.  Their faith shows me that God works beyond what is right now and He can work in you and I to go beyond what situation we may be in right now.  Their faith shows me too, that we can dream big in God, because if we have that faith, and out of that faith, born passion and desire to go beyond our own limitations for God, we can achieve great things for Him.  We may be ordinary people, but we have an extraordinary God and because of that, we can do extraordinary things for Him too!  And all this start from faith.

Faith is such a simple word, but yet, it carries such a weight in its meaning.  Faith...  Do you have enough faith in God?  Can you say and mean it from your heart that God is in control of your life?  Can you tell God, lead me oh Lord, that I may have faith to see beyond what I can see right now, and to be confident in You and trust that You are leading me?  Faith....

Declutter: A number of stuff

Like I was saying, I've accumulated heaps of things for a while now and so I am in the midst of getting rid of them when time permits.  Sometimes I get so busy with work that I just tune out once I reach home.  Here's some stuff that I've decluttered over the past week or so.

Gave this to a friend when I found out it was breaking me out!  So off it goes to someone whom I think could use it.

I was keeping this eyeliner that I bought for ages and finished up for ages because I love the smudge that comes with it.  Since I purchased a new eyeliner with smudge, so off it goes to the bin!

a darling friend of mine bought this for me a few years back from Australia.  Because it was hard (I mean literally hard inside!), I've been keeping it aside, until I decided that it's too hard to use and too heavy to keep (the bottle is a glass bottle =.=).  So, off it goes to the bin.  I actually contemplated of recycling it, since it's a glass bottle, but.. the thought of needing to dig the balm out *shudder* so I just toss it.

This was also a gift from my friend when I met her in Aussie.  She's such a darling ok! Always buy me stuff.  Anyhow, I did use it for a while because I was breaking out and I found it helps.  But recently when I attempt to use it again, it smells funny, so off to the bin it goes.

Another session of decluttering well done, don't ya think?  More to come!

Moment

It is right at this moment where God is so real.  It is right at this moment that I am blown away by the wonders of my God.  I am amazed, so amazed that I am speechless.  Oh Lord, U are truly such an amazing God.  Who am I really, that U would choose me?  Oh Lord my God, U, truly, truly are so amazing.  This is the moment that I want to capture, the moment when U touch me, the moment when U reminded me of who I am in U.

U, even before I was named, even before I was born, already have such an amazing name for me.  I am touched by Ur grace, each and every day, and oh Lord, may I be a reflection of Ur grace in my life.  May people who see me, sees Ur grace me in and through me, find Ur grace in their life too.  May people who see me, finds favour in Ur eyes.

I pray oh Lord, that I may continue to be the vessel U use to expand Ur kingdom, not a kingdom of war, but of grace.  It is by Ur grace that we are saved, and by Ur grace we find life, by Ur grace we find peace and hope in this life that we are living.

Blessings, love, peace.....
