and You saw me,
when You took the crown of thorns
and Your blood washes over me.
and You loved me,
through the nails that You bore
Your blood washes over me.
- "You Saw Me" by Hillsongs
those 2 verses really spoke to me during church praise and worship today! =D can you imagine.. when the people forced the crown of thorns onto His head, so hard that He bled, He saw us. we were on His mind..
and each time the hammer struck the nails that bored through His hands (was it wrists?), He was loving us....
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...... Jesus.. =D =D =D

have you ever wondered what kind of person you are to people? what do your friends' and family's impressions of you are?
and looking at pictures and reminicising on the recent past (or the long gone past) can cause you to just be so emotional?
and how it's really not all that easy to be studying abroad?
and how.. you just want His embrace all over again? =D

God is never the source of your trouble. He is always your answer. what the devil wants you to think is that God is behind your trouble. if God had His way, nobody will be sick, nobody will die. God hates death.
i believe You. i believe in the goodness of You.
God loves to show Himself good, to show Himself kind. this is He.
God of the mountains, not of the valleys.
and because even sympathy is just short-lived satisfaction.
the day You come back again, i'm going to go with You.
these things are not going to stumble me.
when God restores, He restores with style. =D
greater in not only quantity, but, quality. =D
i'm crowned with honour and glory. i'm God's beloved. nothing's gonna to get me.
that's how precious i am. don't ever call what God has cleansed, unclean. when God cleans you, He does a perfect job.
prayer is an expression of dependence. the praying man is a blessed man. the best way to be independent of man, is to be dependent on God.
every marriage needs a third party ---- Jesus. He is the glue that holds it together.
when you use Jesus's power, He is glad! but He wants you use His lovingness and grace. He wants you to know Him. (story of the woman with the issue of blood).
"DAUGHTER, be of good comfort. for your faith has made you well."

it has been a while, hasn't it? =D
anyway, i'm back in aussieland. third year of my uni studies already!! third year!! and i predict that this year is going to fly past really really quickly too..
living with new housemates now.. jade and grace.. it has been good.. =D girls are really so much better, aren't they? hahahah! and they are nice people. and can get along well with them. so all's well. =D
the house is good too.. i want a new rug for my room though.
i haven't done any studying though. but i have been attending lectures! =D
and... i experienced a miracle this year. (and am looking forward to more ok, God? =D)
i don't have classes on monday!! =D ever since i started uni here.. i have had classes every day. never fail. but this semester.. i've got my mondays free! woo! =D 'cos i was randomly assigned to a ultrasound practical group that's on tuesday instead of monday. so happy leh. =D i also don't like to have to have the restriction of having to come home earlier on sunday nights, or not being able to go out too late on sunday nights 'cos mondays there will be classes. God's great. =D
we have 3 new classmates this year. 3 guys. an israeli (so cool, i keep wanting to say "shalom" to him, but i shy. hahahaha!), a swedish, and an aussie.
this semester's curriculum quite intensive. 'cos got 2 new modalities that we are learning, CT and ultrasound. seriously don't know why they want to squeeze these two together. siao. hahah
oh, and i got my car. going to collect it on friday!! really really can't wait. and i really trust God that all will be well. more than well! super abundant favour, blessings that never stop flowing in my life, and things that make me laugh. hahaha! =D
hmmm.. what else can i update you guys about.. oh church's alright.. can still be better i feel. =D
oh and there's another great thing that i must praise God for.. which is.. my jetstar flight here to melbourne from singapore..
i was really really super duper upset 'cos in attempts to save money on my air ticket to melbourne, by buying a jetstar fare, i ended up spending even more money. with the money i paid, i could have just bought a SQ ticket.
i paid alot more 'cos i changed my flight date, and 'cos i needed to buy excess baggage.
i was like seriously very upset also. 'cos.. just so unhappy that i had to spend so much money. and it was just for a budget flight.
but guess what God did for me?
my flight was scheduled for 1030pm that night.. and it got delayed to 1130pm.. and then, further delayed to 12midnight.. then there was an announcement to call all of us to gather at the counter..
and turns out that the whole flight was cancelled 'cos a bird flew into the plane's engine when it was on its way to singapore. so the plane was grounded.
then we all got shipped off (by bus, but then God is so cute again, phoebe and i and 3 other aussie tourist girls got to take the london cab 'cos there was no more space on the big coach. hahaha!) to Grand Park Hotel at city hall.. (which is a really nice hotel!!).. and we were treated to supper (and a glass of wine), each had a hotel room (but phoebe and i decided to sleep together), and then had a shower, and went to sleep. (but i couldn't fall asleep the whole 3 hours).
then we woke up at 530am for breakfast and to take the coach to the airport again to check in for our flight. (which was again delayed for another 1 hour). hahaha!
but to compensate us, jetstar waived all excess baggage charges (!!!! how good is that!! it was precisely the thing that made me upset the whole time!), we had free meals on board (!! how good is that!! i didn't have to sneakily eat the buns that i brought), and we even had like blankets, ear phones, eye masks etc.
and the flight wasn't that bad also! i could fall asleep. and there was a nice gay air steward too. hahaha!
and i made new friends too. and got to know phoebe better too. =D
i don't care but i'm going to say this again, Jesus is really the B.E.S.T. =D
