Thats what frens are for..

I can actually the massive eyebags that feels like 2 oranges stuffed under my eyes.
its due to this disease called ER-Sigh-N-merns (Read it out loud..) anybody know a cure for it?? haha..

just been thinking about Friendships.

Its funny how in primary school we think that we'll be best frens forever with the best fren of that time. then you have a new bestie in secondary school, and in Junior College/Polytechnic then Uni or at work or at church etc.
The somehow along the way after graduation, everyone goes their seperate way with tears and hugs..and promises of "hey i dun care we must find time to hang out la.." then after a period of time when you call them, they HANG UP.
ok i'm exaggerating. but i mean how many frens from Pri and Sec sch do you still keep in contact with? I guess everyone just finds new frens in different seasons of their life. BUt Thank God some frens are really here to stay for life man.. its that kind that no matter how long a period of time you are away , you still Remain besties! Thank God that i have a few frens like that.

I am a person that thrives on friendships and being with people. Many say that i have lots of friends..correction!..the matter of fact is that i have lots of acquaintances..but few friends.

Friends are people that

1) can Pour out my heart to
2) can Share my Joy with
3) when i'm frustrated will hear it first hand haha..
4) Can winch and whine when i'm not happy

i think these are the typical criteria that most of us have..
In fact..To me..Friends are people that..

1) will Spend time with you (talk serious or talk nonsense also can..haha..)
2) Share weaknesses with and wouldn't judge
3) Can laugh until stomachache,cry until eyes pop out,sarcastic but won't get offended (Speak for youself sarah! lol..)
4) Encourage you not boost your Ego
5) Listen to your frustrations but Do not feed your self pitying or self condemnation
6) Allow you to have other frens and not get jealous
7) Challenge you to grow in God!

Issit too strict? I guess i can't expect everyone to be perfect, but by far all my Friends have been like that..Really Thank God for them
Well i really hope that i would be a fren like that most importantly Love at all times.

Sorry for the random and unorganised thoughts..that is whats been happening in my mind. sigh..

Think i'm having the i'm-gonna-graduate-soon-so-what-should-i-do-next syndrome.
Dun worry all of u sure kena one way or another..loL!

Sure we all have goals and ambitions of being this and that..But how about what God wants? I had or should i say i'm having that "dilemma". of course getting a job would be necesary..haha..But seriously.
Lord what do u want me to do?

This is a time where all the advice i get seem to be feasible, mind you they are not answers that are clearly right and wrong.(I wish.)
However not all answers that sound correct are God answers.

Praise the Lord for allowing me to witness that.

Read an email today that reminded me again to get on my knees before the Lord.
Not to just seek him for what he can do but seek him for who he is.

On another note, just seeing lives transformed by the Lord is so encouraging!
There's just a new sparkle, new bounce in that person's steps as they realise that the LOrd has a customised plan for their lives and everything that they go through is directed by the Lord.

Discipleship is not a ritual, its a relationship.

My Anchor

In the past week i've been waking up with a sense of fear and loss.
My mind is going in all directions ahhhhhhhhh!

Must be what i prayed the other day.
In my heart of hearts, LOrd i'm giving you my all,
laying it all down, whatever it takes Lord.
Mould me shape me.

Feeling the effects of it

Lord! the Mould is in a very odd shape la!
Very pain already.

After struggling to quieten myself down to hear what the LOrd is saying..

He's holding my hand :)

Another Post.


Guess who are frens 1 and 2! haha..
This pic is taken at Glenelg during Jeb's bday!

Fren 1 : Hey faster go buy that Louie Giglio DVD leh..that INCREDIBLE presentation
Sarah : Its INDESCRIBABLE.............whahahaha!
Fren 1 : Aiya similar la...just couldn't think of the word!
Sarah : This is so going on my blog!!

Fren 2 : Hey wat do you call those cars with the rounded backs..
Sarah : Huh?? wat rounded backs?
Fren 2 : aiya that one la! the wat ah..Hunchback isit?
Sarah : hunchback??? HATCHBACK LA! ahahhahahah!

Thats all folks till we meet again on....
"My hilarious frens who crack me up with words they use!"
*music fade out*




Well on a serious note again..haha
This 2 weeks of holidays have been quite "eventful".
Firstly we had connect group for once without the leader! *runs ard like a mad pok*
honestly i felt very inadequate, unsure whether or not i would be able to handle it.
People might say "aiya, its not the first time you are doing this wat.."
But its different la really! As i thought back, i realised GOd is just answering what i prayed for..haha!- being able to work with my peers.
We had a good meeting despite my inadequacy,technical difficulties, all because the Lord was the one that orchestrated it!
There's still a lot to learn and the devil has a way for getting to me mentally about my weaknesses but in all circumstances i know that the Lord is moulding and shaping me.

It is kind of a inward battle to remind myself of who i am in Christ and that despite my weaknesses God can work in and thru me for his glory.
Ok it is official that i have shingles and that is what have been messing me up mentally and emotionally. PMS has been wrongly accused of being the culprit haha..
The funny thing is that i had the rash for quite sometime already and i thought i badly strained my waist muscle..
Thank God for frens who are doctors!!and of course doctors to be. and! pharmacist And! of course the property valuer..haha..
Doctor Khow and Doctor Lau unanimously diagnosed shingles with just one look! haha..
They graciously allowed me to stay at their place and brought me to the hospital
THANK YOu!! The rashes are starting to dry up but the pain is coming..wierd..but the Lord has been sustaining me. Praise Be to Him!!

In the midst of changing circumstances, i have a hope , an anchor for the soul,firm and secure - in Christ.
