'Christian'

"Christ-ian"

Belonging to Christ

No longer that i liveth but Christ that liveth in me...

What is an identity to me?

But to be accepted in Christ.

REcess WeeK is hEre!

This week is recess week....i want to make good use of my time and i want to enjoy studying and preparing myself for work next time....i want to learn about residential care and parental involvement....i want to learn about family intervention in residential setting...

I am excited and thankful to God for guiding me in my choice of thesis...something that i struggled with so badly in the initial stages, wondering if i should give up...make or break?

But He performed miracles once again...i dun even noe y i settled on what i am researching on now...i changed my topic once and now i am starting all over again but without anxiety..praise God..tis like when i started majoring in social work, i din noe i will be interested in practising it all the way until my fourth year and He alone got me to study this fourth year....amazing..

I dun wanna rush my thesis....i want to enjoy the process... i have a lot of datelines to meet and projects to tie up...all the loose ends and meetings but i thank God because He is leading me and granting me the stillness of my heart...

Studying is good only when i am focused on God...then again, all things are good when the first and foremeost place is given to God...Life is so much better when God is in control and when i am out of control...therefore i need to surrender even more areas of my life....to the Lord God Almighty.

This fourth year has been enriching and i am learning a lot....thank you God...

'God, help me to lose myself

And find you...'


Even if it means Shuyi is no longer Shuyi-like...

My greatest fear...

But i believe there will be a NEW Shuyi....



A BETTER Shuyi...

IN YOU

:)

A beautiful story

A minister passing through his church in the middle of the day,
Decided to pause by the altar and see who had come to pray.
Just then the back door opened, a man came down the aisle,
The minister frowned as he saw the man hadn't shaved in a while.
His shirt was kind a shabby and his coat was worn and frayed,
the man knelt,
he bowed his head,
Then rose and walked away.

In the days that followed, each noon time came this chap,
each time he knelt just for a moment, A lunch pail in his lap.
Well, the minister's suspicions grew, with robbery a main fear,
He decided to stop the man and ask him, "What are you doing here?"
The old man said, he worked down the road. Lunch was half an hour.
Lunchtime was his prayer time, For finding strength and power.
"I stay only moments, see, because the factory is so far away;
as I kneel here talking to the Lord, This is kind a what I say:

"I JUST CAME AGAIN TO TELL YOU, LORD, HOW HAPPY I'VE BEEN,
SINCE WE FOUND EACH OTHER'S FRIENDSHIP AND YOU TOOK AWAY MY SIN.
DON'T KNOW MUCH OF HOW TO PRAY,
BUT I THINK ABOUT YOU EVERYDAY.
SO, JESUS, THIS IS JIM CHECKING IN TODAY."

The minister feeling foolish, told Jim, that was fine.
He told the man he was welcome
To come and pray just anytime.

Time to go, Jim smiled, said "Thanks."He hurried to the door
The minister knelt at the altar, he'd never done it before.
His cold heart melted, warmed with love, and met with Jesus there.
As the tears flowed, in his heart, he repeated old Jim's prayer:

"I JUST CAME AGAIN TO TELL YOU, LORD, HOW HAPPY I'VE BEEN,
SINCE WE FOUND EACH OTHER'S FRIENDSHIP AND YOU TOOK AWAY MY SIN.
I DON'T KNOW MUCH OF HOW TO PRAY, BUT I THINK ABOUT YOU EVERYDAY.
SO, JESUS, THIS IS ME CHECKING IN TODAY."

Past noon one day, the minister noticed that old Jim hadn't come.
As more days passed without Jim, he began to worry some.
At the factory, he asked about him, learning he was ill.
The hospital staff was worried, But he'd given them a thrill.
The week that Jim was with them, Brought changes in the ward.
His smiles, a joy contagious. Changed people, were his reward.

The head nurse couldn't understand why Jim was so glad,
when no flowers, calls or cards came, Not a visitor he had.
The minister stayed by his bed, He voiced the nurse's concern:
No friends came to show they cared. He had nowhere to turn.

Looking surprised, old Jim spoke up and with a winsome smile;
"the nurse is wrong, she couldn't know, that in here all the while
everyday at noon He's here, a dear friend of mine, you see,
He sits right down, takes my hand, Leans over and says to me:

"I JUST CAME AGAIN TO TELL YOU, JIM,
HOW HAPPY I HAVE BEEN,
SINCE WE FOUND THIS FRIENDSHIP,
AND I TOOK AWAY YOUR SIN.
ALWAYS LOVE TO HEAR YOU PRAY,
I THINK ABOUT YOU EACH DAY,
AND SO JIM, THIS IS JESUS
CHECKING IN TODAY."

May God hold you in the palm of His hand and Angels watch over you.

But for those of us who are already His, He not only holds us in the palm of His hand, but has engraved our names there, and we are continually in His sight (Isaiah 49:16)

Thots before Studying

Tis a monday again...i've always dreaded monday because it is the beginning of a new week..

But wat to do? Life goes on...

Time spent with God will not go to waste....that is what i believe...that time with God, and on his ministry is remembered by God

And i want to rem that i am a full-time Christian but a part-time Student...that my grades is worth nothing in eternity...


I want to be a christian, a disciple of Jesus


to live out the living Word and to allow it to Change me...

To stay in the garden of Eden where i can meet God

to live out my life like Samuel,

Such that no one will be able to bring charges against me at the end of my life...


To be sensitive and always ready to sit at the feet of Jesus...


A holy and blameless life....

As an offering to God


:)

Thank you for cell today

I went for cell today...

there was Jane, myself, Jiansheng, Weiquan and Junkang

Mr Ben was around too...

Something was different...

Nope, not the cell...

But me...i think today the cell appears different..

To me...

This group of brothers and sisters whom i want to serve...

Not lead....maybe lead but more so,

Serve.

God has really worked in amazing ways...

through my dear brother and the pain and confusion etc etc.

---------------------------------------------

I was fearful that i have to change n be set apart...'

Coz i dun wan to be different...

I was fearful of change and fearful that i will no longer be shuyi-like if i change

Afraid that my dear friends will find it weird and stressful if i keep certain standards...

But God is good...

Coz while He works in me, He works in her as well...

Reminding both of us...


To be Set Apart



Amen. Praise the Lord.

He brought a friend who will try for Him as well.

And a dear friend...wow!

I'm amazed, God...


Well, You are God.... and i am beyond words....





Thank you for letting me noe you, God....Thank You



:)

In You

It is very late now....and i am tired.not just physically but mentally and emotionally.

Like i've just fought a war...

My heart is tired...

Broken from the revelation of the need to change

To work towards pleasing my Lord God...

A path of sanctification...

Not for glory or fame..

But because i want to walk with GOd...

Back to creation days...

I want to see you in the Garden of Eden Father...

I want to hold your hand and call you

" Abba Father "

I want to feel your presence and find refuge in you...

The Rock Of Ages...

In Your most tender hands


Where i will be safe...

From hurts caused by sins...

Where i will be safe...

In You.
