Psalm 13
1 How long, O LORD ? Will you forget me forever?
How long will you hide your face from me?
2 How long must I wrestle with my thoughts
and every day have sorrow in my heart?
How long will my enemy triumph over me?
3 Look on me and answer, O LORD my God.
Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep in death;
4 my enemy will say, "I have overcome him,"
and my foes will rejoice when I fall.
5 But I trust in your unfailing love;
my heart rejoices in your salvation.
6 I will sing to the LORD,
for he has been good to me.
In such times, we are vulnerable to wrong assumptions and conclusions about life, about God, and about prayer. In Psalm 13, David wrestled with the problem of unanswered prayer. He questioned why the world was so dangerous and pleaded for answers from God.
It’s a hard psalm that David sang, and it seems to be one of frustration. Yet, in the end, his doubts and fears turned to trust. Why? Because the circumstances of our struggles cannot diminish the character of God and His care for His children. In verse 5, David turned a corner. From his heart he prayed, “But I have trusted in Your mercy; my heart shall rejoice in Your salvation.”
In the pain and struggle of living without answers, we can always find comfort in our heavenly Father. —Bill Crowder
i have wondered what happenes if my prayer don't get answered by the end of thse 21 days? would i lose faith? God spoke me through this psalm.... to continue to trust in Him and find comfort and joy in His salvation.... i am continuing to believe.... even though some things do seem impossible.... with God all things are possible.... few more days to go.... to home!!!!

Joshua 6
1 Now Jericho was tightly shut up because of the Israelites. No one went out and no one came in.
2 Then the LORD said to Joshua, "See, I have delivered Jericho into your hands, along with its king and its fighting men. 3 March around the city once with all the armed men. Do this for six days. 4 Have seven priests carry trumpets of rams' horns in front of the ark. On the seventh day, march around the city seven times, with the priests blowing the trumpets. 5 When you hear them sound a long blast on the trumpets, have all the people give a loud shout; then the wall of the city will collapse and the people will go up, every man straight in."
6 So Joshua son of Nun called the priests and said to them, "Take up the ark of the covenant of the LORD and have seven priests carry trumpets in front of it." 7 And he ordered the people, "Advance! March around the city, with the armed guard going ahead of the ark of the LORD."
8 When Joshua had spoken to the people, the seven priests carrying the seven trumpets before the LORD went forward, blowing their trumpets, and the ark of the LORD's covenant followed them. 9 The armed guard marched ahead of the priests who blew the trumpets, and the rear guard followed the ark. All this time the trumpets were sounding. 10 But Joshua had commanded the people, "Do not give a war cry, do not raise your voices, do not say a word until the day I tell you to shout. Then shout!" 11 So he had the ark of the LORD carried around the city, circling it once. Then the people returned to camp and spent the night there.
12 Joshua got up early the next morning and the priests took up the ark of the LORD. 13 The seven priests carrying the seven trumpets went forward, marching before the ark of the LORD and blowing the trumpets. The armed men went ahead of them and the rear guard followed the ark of the LORD, while the trumpets kept sounding. 14 So on the second day they marched around the city once and returned to the camp. They did this for six days.
15 On the seventh day, they got up at daybreak and marched around the city seven times in the same manner, except that on that day they circled the city seven times. 16 The seventh time around, when the priests sounded the trumpet blast, Joshua commanded the people, "Shout! For the LORD has given you the city! 17 The city and all that is in it are to be devoted [a] to the LORD. Only Rahab the prostitute [b] and all who are with her in her house shall be spared, because she hid the spies we sent. 18 But keep away from the devoted things, so that you will not bring about your own destruction by taking any of them. Otherwise you will make the camp of Israel liable to destruction and bring trouble on it. 19 All the silver and gold and the articles of bronze and iron are sacred to the LORD and must go into his treasury."
20 When the trumpets sounded, the people shouted, and at the sound of the trumpet, when the people gave a loud shout, the wall collapsed; so every man charged straight in, and they took the city. 21 They devoted the city to the LORD and destroyed with the sword every living thing in it—men and women, young and old, cattle, sheep and donkeys.
this is today's devotion and i believe God wants to me to breakthrough like the walls of jericho... keep on marching... may be pretty ridiculous and doesn't make any sense at this current moment... but jus keep marching and be obedient.... the walls will come tumbling down....
i still remembered... 2 years ago.... the prophecy... the walls will come tumbling down... like the walls of jericho.... and at that time it did... and i m contending that it will too....this time.... come crashing down....

Psalm 121
A song of ascents.
1 I lift up my eyes to the hills—
where does my help come from?
2 My help comes from the LORD,
the Maker of heaven and earth.
3 He will not let your foot slip—
he who watches over you will not slumber;
4 indeed, he who watches over Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The LORD watches over you—
the LORD is your shade at your right hand;
6 the sun will not harm you by day,
nor the moon by night.
7 The LORD will keep you from all harm—
he will watch over your life;
8 the LORD will watch over your coming and going
both now and forevermore.
was encouraged by this psalm while blog browsing... saw this on aiky's blog. this has been a hard 4 days of fasting. 1st 4 days and alrady many things has happened. and i woul say for some situations, God really prepared me before hand so i can handle it a lot better than i would usually in the same circumstances. God helped me come to terms about some things and to rely adn depend on Him. i thank Him for being there for me and just watching over me. i thank Him for sisters and the people around me. i thank Him but in Him i am able to overcome and believe for greater things. trials i did not ask for, yet i had to go through.... God thank You for being there to hold my hand.... please help me accept Your will and be obedient. i can forsee that there will be a lot more to come. after all, breakthroughs don't comeby easily or else it won't be called a breakthrough and it's a lot more than hunger pangs.

God You are amazing... today has been a day where more bible verses pop up at me than any other day in a long long time.... even in my weakness and shortcomings.... You showed me that i can.... encourage a sister.... pray for another person.... find a bible verse to encourage a friend....
Romans 8
More Than Conquerors
28And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him,[j] who[k] have been called according to his purpose. 29For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. 30And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.
31What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? 33Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. 34Who is he that condemns? Christ Jesus, who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. 35Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? 36As it is written:
"For your sake we face death all day long;
we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered."[l] 37No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[m] neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
God, thank you that in my weakness your grace is sufficient adn your power is made prefect....

annoying - ness
bencinya!!! ya this whole leave thing is quite annoying.... ngiao.... however i m sure i can tough this out. blergghhhh.... wanting to take 2 weeks off my international primary health care MSA to go back to malaysia and to go to manila for EN 07. a lot of the paper work and processess has been quite a pain. but i m sure it will all be worth it. really lookig forward to this besides the struggling with finances, leave, supervisors, etc. have never taken such a long leave ever from uni. 2 weeks is not much but for me who only ever ponteng 1 or 2 days at the most, it's a lot. i just don't know how people can not turn up for stuff and get away with it. like not turn up a lot without formal leave. and here i am struggling to apply for formal leave and coming up with a lot of crap. part of us just wish, screw it, i just go back n take my 2 weeks. then i come back 2 weeks later, and well if they fail my 1 MSA, it's not the end of the world since i can fail up to 10 weeks. n it's only freaking 3 weeks.... but on the other hand, i do want to get things done properly, not just run off and be irresponsible.i am going off for 2 weeks, i should at least inform someone that i m taking this leave right? all makes sense, nontheless not as easy as it seems. i've already made up my mind anyway. that i shall go back for the 2 weeks. looks as if the supervisor is saying, you migth as well not come at all since you are missing 2 outta 3 weeks. then i shall extend my hols to 3 weeks. instead of 2. anyways.... i believe God will make a way. and i shall have to grow up and not be so kiddy. i can do this!!! it's jus applying for leave.... chua su ling, don't be a wuss!!!!

power
Ephesians 1:18-20
18I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, 19and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, 20which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms,
today is the 1st day of my 21 day fast... woke up not feeling that great.... not one of those days when i wake up and i feel like i m ready to take on the world.... but one of those that i felt like pulling the blankie over my head and going back to sleep.... till i m more ready to face the day.... pulled myself together and got up and decided TODAY IS THE DAY.... 1ST DAY OF MY FAST.... i am getting up to pray and get on with life.... no hiding under blankie....
above is the verse for today.... it transpired from a loved one telling me he craved power. he would like to be a real life bad guy. and that worried me. so i went on biblegateway and did a word search on power... and this is what God said.... Paul prayed that the ephesians may be enlightened to know the HOPE, the GLORIOUS RICHES and the INCOMPARABLY GREAT POWER for us who believe. what caught my eye was.... INCOMPARABLY GREAT POWER.... as this loved one craved for power.... so do i want to know this INCOMPARABLY GREAT POWER that i am able to access from God. to be able to plug in and tap into the POWER. to be a POWERFUL in witnessing, influencing the lives of the people around me.... to be POWERFUL in the way God has called me to. not so i can stroke my ego and feel good bout myself. but to be effective as a child of God....
8But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."
Acts 1:8
this power needs to be continuously fueled.... plugged into God's POWER source. some where i think i have lost that connection. i am replugging myself.... God, i want to be super POWDERFUL[God, You know what i mean :)] for you....

the workings of my heart... it's hard to describe. sometimes i don't even know what i want.... going into 21 days of daniel fast with the whole church starting tomorrow. gonna have to forsake all my junk food - smith's, oreos, tim tams.... ice coffee, wicked wings... it will be good .... and pray for what i really want from God.... whether it's revelation for my life, salvation for loved ones.... what do i really want? too personal to post up here.... but for 21 days, i am really gonna contend for these things.... and fight for what i want.... after all.... if it's for eternity it will wbe worth the 21 days... there are things that won't budge with normal mild asking... God, if you would please.... but require more persistant asking and knocking.... maybe i should barge in and break down the door.... haha... so like me... impatience!!
God help me endure this 21 day fast and remind me everytime i think bout junking to pray!!!!
God help me endure this 21 day fast and remind me everytime i think bout junking to pray!!!!
Why are you crying, Mom?
"Why are you crying?" he asked his Mom. "Because I'm a
woman" she told him. "I don't understand," he said. His
Mom just hugged him and said, "And you never will"..........
Later the little boy asked his father, "Why does mother
seem to cry for no reason? "All women cry for no reason"
was all his dad could say........
The little boy grew up and became a man, still wondering
why women cry...
Finally he put in a call to GOD; when GOD got on the phone
the man said, "GOD, why do women cry so easily?"
and GOD said.......
When I made woman, she had to be special. I made her
shoulders strong enough to carry the weight of the World;
yet, gentle enough to give comfort....
I gave her an inner strength to endure childbirth and the
rejection that many times comes from her children......
I gave her a hardness that allows her to keep going when
everyone else gives up and take care of her family through
sickness and fatigue without complaining......
I gave her the sensitivity to love her children under any and
all circumstances, even when her child has hurt her very
badly...
This same sensitivity helps her to make a child's boo-boo
feel better and shares in their teenagers anxieties and
fears.......
I gave her strength to carry her husband through his faults
and fashioned her from his rib to protect his heart.....
I gave her wisdom to know that a good husband never hurts
his wife, but, sometimes tests her strengths and her resolve
to stand beside him unfalteringly.....
I gave her tears to shed. They are hers to use whenever she
needs them. They are her secret strength. They make her
more like ME.....

how i feel now.... miserable but don't feel like talking bout it.... trying to ignore the fact i feel miserable and getting on with live with a smile as fake and bright as a neon light. *not working as well*.... even ong lai who is freaking blur notived i looked unhappy.... i just jabbed him in the ribs... after all, since i don't feel like talking bout it, i might as well jus jab him or smack him a few times, which didn't make me feel better. usually venting my frustrations by smacking ppl ( esp guys) make me feel tons better.... i just feel kinda down inside... i m holding up though....
probably cos i haven had a serious tornado in my life for quite some time or probably small ones... which was probably a lot easier to deal with... last 1 2 yrs ago broke me.... maybe i do need some breaking.... and i m not being sadistic.... jus mere 4 days before going into 21 days of daniel fast too... * whole church going to have a daniel fast for 21 days starting on the 14th may* there is definitely a good reason to fast now bot that there weren't any to begin with... i feel like hiding... man, i haven become soft n mushy... i imagined i was way tougher than this.... anyway, just determine not to let this throw my life into chaos.... older not equals to wiser.... yet experience do sometimes give us an advantage especially to deal with one's emotions and shortcomings.....
talking in riddles.... why do i feel like i m being cheated of something God has promised me? or is it that He did not promised in the 1st place.... or maybe i should contend more for it other than blaming Him for not fulfilling His end of the promise..... God, help! a crisis is prob what is gonna be bring me down to my knees.... and one that is gonna help me stand in the future.... i need to rise above this situation.... and see the big picture.... it is for the best....
" And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose."
Romans 8:28
this is what i need to hang on to... and believe.... all things work for the good of those who love Him.... and who have been called according to His purposes....
let me not fall anywhere but on You God.... cos seriously i don't wanna fall anywhere else.... although falling down is definitely not a pleasant experience.... at least let it be where you meant it to be....
waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
okay.... it's not meant to sound dat angry or ganas... stressed....
