♥ my life anthem
This is my resting place.
This is my strength.
This is my reassurance.
1 Peter 5:6-7 (The Message)
So be content with who you are,
and don't put on airs.
God's strong hand is on you;
He'll promote you at the right time.
Live carefree before God;
He is most careful with you.
This is my strength.
Philippians 4:13 (New King James Version)
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
This is my reassurance.
Jeremiah 29:11 (New International Version)
For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

♥ the blunt truth hurts
from a matchin set, my new phone hanging thingy, ironically given by my bf's student (who flirts with him xD)
i haven't been blogging as much as i usually do, and for that i apoligise.
i've been super busy, working most days, out most nights, and catching up on sleep whenever i can.
and as christmas approaches things are just going to get busier, with some backtoback double shifts at vodafone (8:45am - 9:15pm), but its actually not too bad now =) i'm getting use to it i guess. there's still lots to learn, but at least i can help customers with some things without needing to always ask for help.
last night i was filled with anger at a certain someone. someone who used others. someone who was irresponsible. someone whose actions made me tsktsk. and it really got to me. i kept thinking how can people be like that! so inconsiderate. so immature. so selfish! it just fustrated me SO much. that i just laid in my bed for a while fumed with anger.
yes anger. and it did frustrate me even more when my boyfriend sticks up for that person telling me how it's not my place to judge etc etc. and it sucks even more because i know he's right haha. sighh
sigh, i wish i was stronger. but sometimes i feel like i'm the one that always has to change. i'm the one thats always wrong. and i'm the one that just isn't good enough.
but it's okay. i'm not perfect.
2 Corinthians 12:9 (New Living Translation)
9 Each time he said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me.

♥ three words
there is such a precious three words, that i taught myself not to say so much. until i found this boy.
this morning i woke up, and felt like blogging about how i feel. about how we might be falling apart. about how what happened to her this time last year... could happen to me this time this year. is it him? or is it me? could i be better?
my heart is hurt, and by habit i want to push that pain away. but it is because of those three words that carry much meaning, that causes me to put up with it. that book i'm reading (but stopped temporarily), tells me to change... to be better... to chase... to love... to win. but i am not in a marriage. and i don't know if i can do that. even if those three words are true.
i went to my blog home page earlier and on my blog updates was this verse that someone had put on their blog...
“Don’t worry about anything, instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. If you do this you will experience God’s peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.” – Phillipines 4:6-7 (NLT)
i need that peace right now.

♥ Life Without Limbs
josh held his own lil bible study group today at uni. just with a few friends. starting off with God's grace.
i admire his heart for his friends and wish i had the same courage in a way. especially when it comes down to my own family...
you know that saying, quality over quanitity... okay, so it doesnt make sense since he has OVER A THOUSAND FACEBOOK FRIENDS. but of the actual friends he talks to on a constant basis... he has a really close bond to them.
it's weird in a way. because i would look at his relationships with his friends, and then i'd look at the relationships i have with my friends... and they are totally different. like different types of friendships. each with their own advantages i guess.
anyways, here's a vid about a guy born with no limbs.
i really like the part where he says that we always blame God for the things we don't have... and not thank God for the things we do. it makes you think...
happy watching :)

♥ 22hrs til umat
In 22 hours, i will be about to take my UMAT exam, for the second year in the row.
A lot of things have changed over the past year.
And a lot more preparation was put into it this time around.
But I don't believe that that alone will be what gets me through.
It has been difficult... frustrating... time consuming... annoying.. tiring.
It has caused arguments, fights, disappointment, tears and heartache..
But the time has come... it's tomorrow. In 21 hours and 50 minutes... xD
Anyways, today i was reminded, while reading a friend's email, of a verse...
I like how the amplified version puts it,

Proverbs 3:5-6 (New International Version)
5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
6 in all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make your paths straight.
and he will make your paths straight.
I like how the amplified version puts it,
Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind
