It's getting harder and harder to breathe@3/25/2007 07:25:00 PM

i've been struggling quite a bit, always feeling like no one cares for me enough, no one understands me and that i can't find anyone i can trust to share my thoughts with. but actually i know there are in fact people out there who cares for me and is always praying for me and who loves me.

it's so hard to be around people who can't encourage you, but you instead have to be all hype to be the light. it sucks when everything around you fades and you have to fight to stand up every single day, to live the life of faith, to not get sucked into the worldly details. how.. i can't do it alone, God please help me! Integrity is indeed important and above all else to stand firm and finish this race with a bang.

But whenever the feeling hits me, i feel like isolating myself, but i know i shouldn't. i hate it, why do these thoughts keep haunting me, i wanna cast it away, expel it, it's depleting me. it's draining me. stop attacking me, will you, the prince of this world.

God, please give me strength.

anyway, on a happy note, ameet, leon, cheryl, ajay, sass and i went little ceasars for dinner and of cuz, like always we had a fun time even tho we waited for the table for an hour. oh the funny thing was when we finally got our table, our orders were ready. So at 830pm, we sat ourselves comfortably and the pizza came one after the other and by the time all four gormet pizza were gone, it was only 835pm. can you beat that?

Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one's life for his friends. -John 15:13


Lord, help me to live from day to day, in such a way of mastering the art of losing myself, my heart & soul i give You control, consume me from the inside out, that even when i kneel to pray, my prayer will be for others. I can't do it by myself, Lord for I am nothing without You. Let Your double portion of grace embrace me, that i may praise You evermore. In Jesus name.

i just had the most amazing day ever!
Being surrounded by amazing artistry, i sat myself down by the bay & had my panini. The serene clear waters were a rare sight, the trees had branches that were drooping down which made leafy peter pan curtains before me that whenever the wind blows, it open up to a magnicificent world right before my eyes.

On the right were plenty of boats docked & the sun wasn't too bright, such warmth, such beauty captured my eyes.

Ohh.. the most amazing part was.. i never knew mat bay had sprinklers. mine oh my! while reading, waters suddenly sprayed out from a hose and got my drench, if anyone had seen me, they would be laughing hysterically at this silly girl running about in circles, getting chased by the sprinklers. yes yes, well, it's simple pleasures i must say. it really spiced up my entire brain storming, jaw dropping day. =)

and i head back for law tute right after that, all sundried.

The Lord spoke..

"Rachel,

Do you trust Me?

I am your refuge. Come pour out your heart to Me.

I have always been with you all these while."

you know sometimes when the words that you have been telling other people are just the words you have been needing to hear, just that you never realize till its been said to you. And i can't be more thankful to have such a wonderful God who knows me so well. The feeling is indescribable. You just have to experience it yourself to know how amazing it is.

Blessed is the man who has a true friend indeed. Jesus, You are my best friend.

what is loneliness?
to have many friends whom none understands you or to have only one friend who truly understands you..?

splityyy plays golf!

first up, i woke up late and end up running down the slope to school. for the one time i really hate the bus for coming once every hour, and that there is no cheap cab to take!!!

p.s. imagine from blk 115 to market at blk 600ish at bedok res cost $7. chor right?

anyway, my friends & i headed to margaret river chocolate factory at swan valley for a swarmful of yummy mouth-watering chocolates.


my chocolate fanfare.






re-laxing under the scorching hot sun, with my sunnies, that's fine! =)


soaking up the sun



Then, we headed to play a game of golf, as time was a constrain, we played 9holes. it was quite enjoyable as there were 5 of us in a team, and like not many of us knew how to play. anyway, big boy which is the wood is bad. bad big boy, it made my ball fly into the midst of trees & into the duck pond. But anyhows, i had alot of fun! =)


professional golfers in the making..



oh ya, jon wacked the ball really hard, it flew, hit a tree & came right back again. that was totally hilarious. then miss long kept missing the ball, like the golf stick is wacking the air. supa golf is really enjoyable.

After which, we headed to whiteman park to sit a 4km tram ride where all we saw were dried vegetation and forest fires. haha.


i'm on the trammm at whiteman park




the more interesting part was the shops that we visited after that.. the lolly shop, the pottery shop and the print shop.

at the lolly shop, various kinds of lollies & easter eggs & decor tins, duh! at the pottery shop, there were handmade glasswares and pottery. Print shop had those retro print posters which had like milkshakes at 10cents and stuff, like those u saw on my birthday party. yeah. so cooool.

It may look simple but it's like four steps in 1.5beats.

are you a slave?

NO? well, think again.

click to enlarge

credits: marcus lee


as for me, i can't deny i'm a slave. for a matter of fact, everyone is a slave, but some people are slaves to sin, while others are slaves to righteouness.

To simplify, there are two masters. one called gluttony, the other called life.

with master gluttony, slaves get to eat good food meal after meal, just not counting the calories/fats, laze around being a couch potato, always wanting more and more, living by the principles of 'i live to eat'. master wants slaves to influence others to become slaves to him. simple ain't it?

the effects of it, slaves suffers terrible illness, to fat to walk, looking all gross & ugly with lumpy cellulites and end up taking drugs cuz of the insecurity and master gluttony kicks slave out to die in the streets when slave becomes useless.

with master life, slaves eat simple fare, work hard for their food, many people mocks them for working so hard just to eat simple fare, always spending time with master and enjoying their simple life. master dearly loves all his slaves and enjoys working with them and master only gives them what is good for them.

the effects of it, slaves knows master only has the best interest for them, they are healthy slaves who lives happily ever after.

similarities in each are slaves are obedient people but the effects are the difference in which how the master treats them & how their lives end up.

Who you obey = who your master is. so why not choose the happily ever after?



if life were a fairytale, it would be happily ever after.

blogger is like taking so long to load..

anyway, i just bimbo-ed. heh, lemme introduce you to my lime green journal, BIMBO! yay!
so thankful for it, that it doesn't have to take so long to load, and i can just bring it around everywhere i go.

this morning, woke up to the early sunrise to go for a morning jog, then met my girls for fish & chips by the tearoom at mat bay. i'm sunburnt! pretty morning, where the swans waddled one by one in a line, kids playing by the grassy area doing somersalts.
------------------------------------------------------------------

well, feeling abit down since last night, but well, after bimbo-ing, i feel so much better now, i managed to get my thoughts sorta out. thanks cheryl for listening to me.

you know how at times you feel so vulnerable and insecure by the way people around you do certain things. i really hate the feeling. But somehow, this brokenness defintely allows me to realise once again that God is real, and so much so that i really need Him. I really thank God for finding me and never leaving me to the pit. And always there for me to pour out my heart to Him for He alone is my refuge. Thank you, Jesus. I really appreciate it.

When all things goes wrong, You are there. Thank you for being someone who understands me, even more than I do. and Thank you for leading back to where You are. Thank you, Jesus.

why am i still burping...?


{.Your love is extravagant.}


welcome

As i sit here and think about all that You've done
About how You gave me Your One and only Son
And I'm trying to fathom all that You are, but so far,
Lord, You're so beyond me
And i fall down in reverence and i fall down in fear
And i'm asking You, Lord, won't You please draw near
Won't You open my eyes so that i can see
The way that You are working in me
chorus:
All i need is Your love
To come and fill this heart of mine
My heart is a desert that has gone dry
And i need Your love to carry me by

So i lay down my life and i put it before You
All i put all that i have in Your hands
And i'm not going to question, why You're so faithful
Why that You give me the blessing that You do
Let the glory be known, let the glory be shown
Lift You up unto the throne

By,by,by,by
To carry me by, by, by, by, by
To carry me by
