“God wants us to want Him. And when we realize that it’s Him that we want, we become free. We are free to identify the longings, loneliness, and emptiness inside of us as our signal that we need to draw near to God with open arms and ask Him to fill us with more of Himself.

But this deep and intimate relationship with God that we all desire and can’t live without doesn’t just happen. It must be sought after, prayed for, nurtured, and treasured. And we must continually seek after, pray for, nurture, and treasure it.” – Stomie Omartian

I am grateful for friends who continue to encourage me to seek after, nurture and pray. Oh, that my walk with Him will not be shallow – Do I trust in Him? Is He my Peace? My Resting Place?

I must confess I forget the power of His name sometimes. (!!) The audacity of thinking I can do it on my own strength (sometimes). Hurhur. I don’t have it all together allthetime – and HE reminds me. Grin.

funfairs and the likes

It’s been awhile since the family went out to play. Together. So because Di had to do her teacherly duties and buy tickets for her school’s funfair, a group of us (+ incl mom & cousin!) went down to join in the fun! Truthbetold, I felt vv.old. But it is always funny and veryamusing to see students turn around and wave + gasp at us in horror because we look alike. Hurhur. Twinthing.

Deadlines are looming and work is getting slightly confusing because we’re getting shorthanded. But all in a day’s work – and surely I would have been bored without any of this adrenaline, so we’ll take it onedayatatime!

I also sneaked away and got myself a martini + free beefsandwiches yesterday. Vnice.

I could not sleep last night. I’m not sure why cos’ I definitely didn’t have coffee or icedtea! All Kaye, Di + I did- rant about education (hurhur), catchup + watch JessicaAlba take her shirt off again in AWAKE. I love meeting Kaye and it’s funny how we have all come fullcircle inasense and walked through similar routes. I hope she likes the adidasshirt+pants (!!).

Unable to sleep, I got out of bed and read through old journals (6, 7 of them!) and found old photos + pictures stored up in preciousboxes and albums!

There was a picture of Ed + Jay! We go a long way back and they have been a hugehuge blessing through these 6years. Despite having gone our separate ways + taken different journeys at times – God has been good + am constantly reminded of His love through them! I love LDP (longdistancephonecalls!) that Ed makes from his office HEH! And happybirthday JAY!

I also found this:

Xiaoying was one of my best friends in secondaryschool. I love this picture. (!!) I think we were trying to take a twin picture – so I’m not sure how she sneaked behind. OMG we all had short hair and baggy uniforms. And dirty ties.

At 2.30am I also found a Ming Email hidden in my geemail too (!). I owe her a very long reply – but am vvloved. I know you read this. (we will always have vendingmachines.)
