His Grace and Peace

i hardly have time to blog these days. the 3hours of commuting to and from work everyday is sapping life away from me. getting a car would be impractical needless to say expensive or should i say increasingly expensive due to the constantly escalating oil prices. rising oil & food prices, inflation - all these while still earning the same keep. how depressing.

life has been hectic and rather bland. i wish work were better for me; doing things that i really enjoy but i shall decline to write more lest i receive a warning letter from my company - quoting the example of the singapore airlines stewardess who blogged and posted pics about her work. the driving classes, gyming and baptism course that started a week ago are the only things other than family, friends and God that are helping me tread along this ardous journey known as life as a working adult. gone are the carefree days; i miss school and exams. [yes, i finally have the chance and time (whatever is left of it) to sign up for driving classes. and yes, i've decided that wesley shall be my home church :) i'm glad) o yes, i've found a cell group too. amid all the troubles there is still so much to thank God for.

the past few months have been tough and as usual, my poor faith has had me once again trying to accomplish all that i require with my own might and little knowledge and wisdom that i have. i worry too much and do not know the grace and peace of God. the 'peace that transcends ALL understanding'. God give me this peace, your shalom peace and may your Holy spirit reignite in me the flame to continue and press on even more strongly on this faith journey ending in eternity with You.

the Lord is my Abba Father, maker, provider, rock, comfort, strength, helper and salvation. if God is for me, no one can be against me. men are nothing without God.
[Jehovah Jireh, my provider, Your grace is sufficient for me]

Hebrews 13:6
So we say with confidence, "The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?"

Hebrews 4:16
Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.

Psalms 118:8-10
It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in man. It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in princes. All the nations surrounded me, but in the name of the LORD I cut them off.

...and btw, i thought Narnia - Prince Caspian was great. i'm a fan so don't blame me. i know the reviews aren't that great. well if you do know the real meaning behind C.S. Lewis' intentions of a simple children's story ('if you knew the deep magic') then maybe you would change your mind. :)

Praise God!!
