mashed potatoes vs butter

Can u spot the different of this two things under a "romantic" yellow light?..well, i have tried tat in a fren's bday party n failed badly...here is d story:

on d 14 june 2008, i was invited for a 21st bday party by a dearest fren of mine whom i didnt c for ages! they r twins n their names r Bernice Jesudasan & Eunice Jesudasan. so nwey, they had it in izzi cafe at bukit bintang...after having a wonderful service & all, the dinner begans...

so we (thats me & a few new found frens), the hungry bunch, headed stret to the food..btw,its a buffet itallian foods..so yeah, the first thing we saw was a yellowish like food in a small bowl..seriously, under the pale, yellow light, it looks like mashed potatoes...so we grab a spoonful each n happily put it on our plates..then we moved on to the next dish..lil did we realized tat there was breads near the "mashed potatoes"..we did notice it but it didnt ring any bell to us...

happily, wif our plate full of lovely food, we sat down n began to dig in...my fren, Santuary, started wif a large helping of her "mashed potatoes"..yeah, smart choice...the moment she puts it into her mouth, her face changed & she started to gag! me sitting by her, got panicked n ask her wat happen...but of course, she cudnt answer!puzzled, i waited for her to washed down wif sum ice lemon tea & look expectedly at her...

before tat, i tasted abit of my own "mashed potatoes" & i find it tasted abit odd, more like a chessy taste..but i was tinking tat mayb there might be a lil more cheese in it..lil did i knw tat actually, wat we took in LARGE portion was actually BUTTER! u shud c the look on Santuary's face wen she pop in d large portion of it n realized wat it is! lol...i shud have taken a pic of it...

wen we learn our mistake, we laugh abt it & pieces it together...now we knw y the breads was there..it was there for a purpose.....lol...wat a fond memory tat will last for a lifetime!

3rd Year

Hmm...lots of things have been happening lately..either good or bad...well, one thing for sure on wats goin to happen is: Im goin to be a 3rd & final year student!!

All this is becos by the grace of God, i passed all my exams for sem 4! wouldnt have been able to do it wifout His help...for those who knws me, they will understand hw stress i was for d first time during this sem exam periods...

the insomnias, the tension periods, pulling hair sessions, yes, all tat negative feelings, is all gone nw! but i realized sumting tat God has never once fail to prove He is faithful to c me thru this far...

Jus a glimpse on God's overwhelming goodness in my life:

~ Sem 1 - He has seen me thru my first final exams after not taking it for like 1 & 1/2 years

~ Sem 2 - I had sum bad incidents happening during my near arriving final exams..those who r wif me together will knw wat im talking abt...but yet, i manage nt onli to pass but exceed beyond my expectations!

~ Sem 3 - tot will be free from problems & it will b a problem free sem..but i was wrong..mum was dignosed wif tumour in her brain n surgery is scheduled few days be4 my finals...but God is faithful, He arranged everything from d beganning till my results r out...

~ Sem 4 - for the first time, i freak out abt sitting my exams this time...really tension to d max for sum unknown reason..but studied as much as i cud & prayed hard...again, God nt onli blessed me by my passing but gave me way beyond wat i expected...even my lecs r surprised! Praise God!

so nw i knw..He was there carrying me thru it all...as for the remaining sem (2 more sem to go), im jus goin to continue to put my whole trust & future to His Hand!

"The Lord Is My Shepard, I shall Not Be In Want. He makes me lies in green pastures" Ps 23

Dont Worry

“You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in You , whose thoughts r fixed on You. Trust in the Lord always , for the Lord God is the eternal rock” Isaiah 26: 3-4

“Therefore do not be worry and anxious” Matt 6:31

“For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love n of self-discipline” 2 Tim 1: 7

These verses speak abt trusting God with my life. This verses was given to me at one of d lowest point of my life. It really encourages me n constantly reminding me tat He is faithful to lead me by hand thru every path I take.

Time and again, God is faithful to remind me tat He will not leave me nor forsake me. No matter how tough life cans b, He is there to c me thru. He is faithful to bring to completion the work He has began in me. As long as I am in d will of God, I know He is with me. That is my constant prayer tat I will not be out of d will of God n I don’t build a wrong foundation in Him. Tat my foundation will be strong, tat nothing can shaken me in Him. For He is my Father In Heaven who loves me very much n wans d best for me. Like an earthly father cares for his children, so will God my father cares for me.

Every single decision I make, let it be from d guidance of His spirit. Though the future may look uncertain but I continue to put my trust n life into His hand. He will guide me step by step. He has seen to every of my needs, so why shud I worry?

Every time I felt im worrying abt sumting, I have to constantly remind myself tat God is handling it n its nt my problem, but His. And there is no Problem to BIG for Him. There r many verses in d bible tat speaks abt trusting God. So I continue to put my trust in Him!

Thanks to those who send this verses to encourage me! I really appreciate it a lot!

Prayer does work!

Sumone once sed to me this words:

“Prayer is a free outgoing call to heaven , No battery power, No charging , No network problem , no simcard. Always good signal & endless talktime”

its true..last time if u sed this words to me n tell me tat prayer works, I wud have scoff at you becos to me, prayer don’t always work. But its not tat it doesn’t work, but at times actually we r the wan who jus cant accept the answer “wait”.

But lately, as I was seeking sum things desperately n I was at the end of my rope, I decided to try d last option tat is praying. I told God, well, if prayer works, prove it to me. Truly, I thank God for answering my simple prayer n proves to me really tat prayer is indeed powerful. Once, there is a pastor who sed tat the real congregation of a church is d ppl who attend a prayer meeting continuously. Not tat I mean not goin to prayer meet means tat u r nt a church member, becos I myself don’t really attend too. But is jus d point tat prayer really does work.
Here is sum proofs tat prayer does work in my life though at times its not the way I wanted it to turn out but I do knw He knws wat is best for me:

~ God granted me a desire of my heart although it was so long time ago n I gave up praying abt it. Infact, I even forgotten abt it but yet He gave it to me when I least expected it. God loves to work in surprises. =)

~ He has faithfully c me thru all my final exams for 3 semesters now n I believe tat He will continue to c me thru my remaining semesters. The miracle is tat I don’t keep my prayer life in check but yet He answers my prayers although I onli seek Him wen exams r really near. =P..yet He is still faithful!

~ There is one time wen I had to rush to send my frens off at d airport in sem 4 n since our public transports in KL is so “reliable”, I had to get to d airport latest by 9.45 am n I onli got into d bus from KL sentral at 9 am. It seems impossible to get there in time but along d way, I jus prayed n believe. I told God tat nothing is impossible for Him n ask Him to supernaturally help me to arrive at d airport latest by 9.45am. He not onli get me there in time, at 9.45 am sharp, d bus came to a stop right in front of d airport door! How amazing is tat! The best part is, I didn’t even make a proper prayer but jus sed tat “God, pls help me to get there latest by 9.45. I knw all things r possible wif You. Thank You Father”

This are jus a few incidents tat prove to me no matter where I am, God always heard d faintest cry of my heart. He is faithful to meet d needs of His children. Im still continue to believe tat He will answer a prayer. Indeed He has brought me to a higher lever of faith in Him! Thanks Dad! Thanks for those who had prayed for my life & God have answered their prayer! C, another proof! =)

Awesome church!

i have once type this post out but in d end didnt post it out...so i shall do it now...this post is dedicated to one of d best church i have ever been.....i have been introduced to this church by a wonderful sister of mine, Audrey Tan!..thanks a bunch, drey!

well, i aso do believed tat its nt by coincident tat i came to this church precisely on tat moment...previously, during my 1 & 2 sem, i was attending a church in sg buluh ( i shall nt mention names here=))...but i find tat i cant really grow in tat church due to sum reasons...but i stick on till my 2nd sem..then middle of my 3rd sem, i decided to stop goin to this church n decided to take a break before i find another suitable church n prayed to God for a better church ( as my place very ulu wan, there r nt much english churches there)...how many knw tat there is no such thing as taking a break from church?...well, i have learned tat lesson well..

so nwey, we shall nt got to there yet...so wat happened was Audrey's siblings came down n i spend a weekend wif them at her place..tats where i gt introduced to Harvest Generation Church, Subang Jaya

and to tell u the truth, the very first time i step in, i feel so welcome n at ease...its jus amazing...the church service is great n the message tat is preached is really good...not to mention d church leaders which really encourage u wif their enthusiasm in serving Him..serious, im so amazed becos some of d leaders r even younger than me n yet they can do alot for Him! how awesome is tat?!...so i knew at tat point tat this is d church tat im looking for...n to tell u d truth, i have nt once regretted it although its really a distant from my place, but it is worth it!

overall, i nvr regret of being a part of this church n i thank God for blessing me wif such a wonderful loving church!im sure goin to miss this church once i completed my studies...=(

lil things..

sumtimes life can get really busy n we tend to forget to Thank God for the lil things tat happen in life...we aso tend to take for granted those things n we only start to miss them wen they r gone..that is human nature...u learn to appreciate things only wen they r no longer there...

so i wan to take this opportunity to thank God for the lil things i take for granted all this while...

~ lil blessing from my frens when i really least expected..jus d care n love that is shown where at times i really frustrated them...yet they still loves me!=)

~ my bufday treats n celebrations tat i have..its a memorable wan...

~ God has taken care of me although at times i x feel it at all..d numbers of times of close accidents...=)

~ God have place me in a wonderful church back in my hometown for me to grow n He has aso granted me a most happening church in subang too!

~He has blessed me with wonderful frens who really shows tat there is one in a million frens (in my case) in this dark world...

~He has taught me hw to love n trust in my frens again n learn to allow myself to be taken care of...in another word, broken down my "very high" pride...

~He has seen me thru many of my trials wen i really felt i cant go on..He taught me to lean on Him instead of myself...again, d pride issues...=)

~He has blessed me with a wonderful fam in Harvest Gen who drove all d way jus to pick me up for church n aso for jus being there....

~ He has given me wat i have prayed for so long until i forgotten abt it...

~He has provided all my needs (big o small) thru my growing years...He has proven time & again tat He is faithful & He cares...

~He blessed me with really great frens tat i have grown close too tat they r like sisters to me....

~ He nvr ever gave up on me..nt once although i have given up on Him more than once...

~He has loved me with His everlasting love although its kinda hard for me to grasp tat fact....

~He send His only son, Jesus jus to die for me & the fallen world...

i can go on n on on how much He has blessed me...but i cant remember all of tat as it is so much!..but this i knw, He does love me despite for my failures & my imperfections....for tat:

Thank You Lord! Thank You for every blessing i gt from u although at times i knw i x deserve it at all...

Harvest Generation Very 1st church camp '08

church camps...dont u jus love this word?..camps r great n it does get better when it is a church camp! and to top it up, its Harvest Generation 1st church camp n i was a part of it!!=)

it been really long since i last wen to a church camp...but thank God i did have a opportunity to go for one recently n i nvr regretted my decision to go..indeed God has planned everything out when u least expected...

well, the camp im talking abt is together wif my church back in subang, Harvest Generation Church...last weekend (2-4 may), they had their first church camp at Peacehaven, Genting..,i have been to tat place for 2 times wif my hometown church but its not the place tat matters but it is d very purpose of d camp...

i have cum to this camp nt expecting much as i had a rough week before the camp...so the feeling of enjoying the camp flew out of d window but nvrtheless i choose to go as i have alreadi sign up n i really needed a break...i guess is really God' s will for me to be there....so as tired as i feel, i still went for the camp...

how timely it is for the message tat is preached is sumting tat i really needed at tat time...Ps Ryan preached about the potential tat God has place in us n the theme of the camp is Building Characters, Impacting Lifes

this msg is so timely as i really felt so dry n numb. n all those mix feeling tat u cant really grasp n explained...after the night session we had on sat, i wen back to d dorm n really cried out to God..i nvr cried tat hard to Him as far as i can remember...at the same time,i nvr expected Him to answer me but i jus needed to let it out on how i feel..n God is so amazing...He does work in many ways to show tat He does listen to our faintest cry...time n again He has proved His faithfulness n His unfailing love although so many times i doubted it...

after the morning session d next day (sun), we had prayers as a cell group n we jus continue to seek God in His presence...suddenly, one of my cell member approached me n sed tat he had a word from the Lord for me...n wat he sed to me was jus amazing...it was d very exact word tat i needed to hear n God has told me what i needed to hear...i was amazed...isnt God jus wonderful?...when u really feel unloved, He alwiz show He cares....He shows tat He is walking beside me thru this journey although many times i dont feel Him ard me...but He is there...alwiz...

its jus so amazing...i did enjoy this camp n this camp has renewed me in Him..this camp has really gave me a new meaning...i really glad tat God has planned for me to cum for this camp as He has a plan n purpose for me...n He will bring me thru this journey...im actually looking forward to c what He has for me!..what a surprise!even to me...=)

so, yeah, tat is hw my camp went abt...will post sum pics once i gt them...till then!
