Each of us has a journey of our own that we must take~

A reminder to self when in times of lostness and floatingness... that I have a chi kek journey to embark hand in hand with God~ and it requires Faith !

“One of the essential ingredients of faith is that God tests us in such a manner that there is no exact precedent for our own situation or trial. And yet faith must be like this, or there would be a natural basis for making faith solid. God comes to every individual in such a manner as to wipe out all precedents, that there may be nothing for us to do but to believe God. “

Taken from the book by RT Kendall “Believing God” , studies on Faith in Hebrews 11


LORD, I pray that when I'm faithless, please do remind me to look to YOU and not my surroundings~~ that YOU are the TRUTH, YOU are the LIFE and YOU are the WAY!

When I say ..." I am a Christian"

Christian by Maya Angelou

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not shouting "I'm clean living."
I'm whispering "I was lost,"
Now I'm found and forgiven.

When I say..."I am a Christian"
I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble
and need CHRIST to be my guide.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak
and need HIS strength to carry on.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed
and need God to clean my mess.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible
but, God believes I am worth it.

When I say... "I am a Christian"I
still feel the sting of pain,
I have my share of heartaches
So I call upon His name.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner
who received God's grace, somehow.

Somehow, Maya Angelou put it so perfectly that no additional words are needed....

About Me?!

About Me:
Just a girl from a normal family, with a normal childhood, a normal life, with normal friends and living in a normal neighbourhood but all this normality made EXTRAordinary, Beautiful and Amazing by God's hands of GRACE and MERCY.

So blessed~~
A thousand times I've failedStill Your mercy remains
Should I stumble again
Still I'm caught in Your grace

Everlasting - Your light will shine when all else fades
Neverending - Your Glory goes beyond all fame

Many people visualize a God who sits comfortably on a distant throne, remote, aloof, uninterested and indifferent to the needs of mortals, until, they can badget him into taking action on their behalf.

But it's not True!

The Bible reveals a God who, long before it even occurs to man to turn to him, while man is still lost in darkness and sunk in sin, takes the initiative, rises from his throne, lays aside his glory and stoops to seek until he finds us because He LOVES us.

God has spoken and acted in Jesus Christ. He is a God who loved, and came after, and died for, a world of - us

The Bible says that He knows each and everyone of us personally and knows us inside out even the exact numbers of hair on our head. He knows us each by name and has inscribed each of our names on the palm of His hand :)

The question is - do you want to know Him personally like a close friend? and embark on a super "Chi Kek" journey not forced but instead guided by His loving hands, just like how a parent guides a child.

He has promised us that He will never leave nor forsake us in any circumstance.

Impossible and Unbelievable? Believe it! :))I couldn't either until I've experienced it for myself. He's amazing!
