Yay! Almost done> Nothing on the paper

Despite the un-inspired mood, I was able to finish most of my work tonight!!! Sudden burst of energy and inspiration! (Funny how that came about around sunset - I am such an owl!) Also, the feedback received from the client was encouraging - they liked what I did to the script and there was much favour. All glory to Christ of course - He is my creativity and wisdom, guiding me to find websites and other resources to better write my scripts. Thank you Jesus! =D All that sitting on this tiny ikea stool, hunched up on a tea tray (ikea also) is giving me cramped up legs and feet, a real achey shoulder and I just want to lie down. The computer's lagginess is still bugging me to no end. I am not even running Photoshop or Illustrator! Just the bare minimum - web browser (no flash sites) and a word processor. Keeping in mind that Acers suck at heat management, I keep this com cool... but to no avail. It lags like nuts.... I wait and wait for pages to refresh, for text to appear on my proce...

Feeling so unmotivated today lol

Dunno why leh... can't seem to get my act together to tackle this piece. =p JESUS help me as I write - You are my wisdom and my creativity. I'm nothing without you. AMEN!

Renewed sense of urgency...

I was thinking today about how I would like to see my friends and family in Heaven someday. Thank goodness many have embraced Christ =) - esp my hubby and my son. What about those who have not? I cannot forget a memory I have from childhood. I do not mean to be irreverent to my late maternal grandfather - but after his death, on the night he was suppose to return (as most Chinese choose to believe so), I saw him return. I was in primary school then. He was with 2 demons and he looked regretful and sorrowful. He did not look happy. He visited the first room where my aunt was, then the room my mum and I were in. He said nothing, but his mournful gaze on me is unforgettable. My maternal grandfather was Taoist. It struck me just now that I would never be able to talk to my maternal grandpa when we finally cross the bar, as Tennyson puts it. Neither will I get to see my paternal grandparents. I know this because they departed as non-believers, and it is too late to save a soul after it has ...
Been humming the tune to BORN FREE recently. Thanks to Fujifilm ads from my childhood, I used to see giraffes nuzzling each other, zebras running in the African safari whenever I heard this song. Recently, I was waiting for Ian at the airport when the song took a different meaning all of a sudden. See the text in brackets and italics to get what I mean! Born free, As free as the wind blows (I found my rebirth in Christ - a born again Christian with the breath of the Holy Spirit blowing in me.) As free as the grass grows Born free to follow your heart (Born free to follow HIS heart!) Live free, and beauty surronds you (When we live our newfound freedom in Christ, we see His goodness and His amazing grace surrounding our lives - everything looks beautiful.) The world still astounds you Each time you look at a star (Because I know the Creator and I am still astounded by the huge-ness and beauty of His Creation) *Stay free, where no walls divide you ( Cling on to Christ, where no walls d...

Testimony - God HAS provided indeed!!! =)

Since the post on God's provision, God has provided! Psalm 34 has come alive. I suddenly had new scripts landing on my lap - 4 at last count, as well as 1 storyboarding job. Some are with a company I have never worked with before and praise God - there has been great favour with them. And you know when you sow, you reap... so after sowing some hard work and sleepless nights, I am preparing to reap the cheques! Also, God provided us with $50 worth of NTUC vouchers. We got us some groceries last night using some of these vouchers - frozen pork and chicken as well as cornflakes. He further provided for us because my Aunt and my Dad has been generously taking care of lunch for Kae and myself. Our meals have been provided for pretty well. I thank my faithful God for his provision. In the light of how our family finances might change in situation. I might go back to working full time or part time - instead of freelancing purely. See how. Regardless, Daddy in Heaven has kindly provided ...

Personal Quiet Time #1

Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers. - Psalm 1 LORD represents our Covenant friend, our LORD Christ Jesus. =) The Law here? Not the 10 commandments. “… Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law; Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first (COVENANT which stood ONLY in meats and drinks and divers washings and Carnal Ordinances), that he may establish the second (Heb. 8:13, 10: 8 – 9).” So we know from here that Jesus has taken away the first covenant (10 commandments aka LAW) to establist the second covenant (aka GRACE!) Paul states in...

God provides - Jehovah Jireh

Been feeling a little troubled because we have not had any new cheques coming in for now, and there are some changes that are being made in WSR that will change the way Ian gets paid. Looking at what we have inside the fridge, I wonder how we will feed Kae throughout this school holidays and my Sayang who does not eat carbo. The former needs to eat good food for his growth, plus he is a bit fussy. The latter needs to be fed well and fully despite not eating carbo. Me ah? I eat udon with Miso and one egg and I am damn happy le =) Even Koka instant noodles satisfy me. I am the easiest person to feed. Everything also eat ha ha ha. I'd just cooked dinner (butter rice with raisin, sea shanty x 2, 1 sunny side up and a glass of milk - Kae; Kimchi Vegetable mix with chicken- Ian; Leftovers from Kae & tomatoes & a little bit of the Kimchi Vege - Geri) - so my mind is kinda fixated on how little food we have left. I know that everytime I feel a little troubled at all, it is the enem...

All For You - Fireflight

To be honest, I have abso-blooming no idea how the song goes but the lyrics are really nice. Highlighted bits are the parts I super like. =) If anyone has the Fireflight song, let me listen to it ya? =D They are pretty good and they sound close to Evanescence genre of music, 'cept the songs are Christian. Yay! ALL FOR YOU I look all around me, I see You everywhere. Your voice whispers sweetly, tender moments we share. Your spirit consumes me, and I know that You care. Wrap myself in Your presence Lord, and I will meet You there. Chorus: I lift up my hands to You, I praise You oh God, for You are my Maker gave Your only Son. Alpha and Omega, Beginning and the End. Melt my heart oh Lord, in the palm of Your hand. Bridge: I want to give You everything, the breath I breath, and I want it to be all for You. I want to give You everything, the songs I sing, and I want it to be all for You.

Out of the mouth of Babes

And the Child grew and became strong in spirit, filled with wisdom; and the grace of God was upon Him. - Luke 2:40 Over the long weekend, Kae stayed with us. As I was doing my bible study, so the little one decided he would do his own bible study and quiet time. I peered over his shoulders as he wrote in his kiddy scrawl - "The Devil is like a Robber pretending to be a Postman". Bemused, I asked him why did he phrase it that way? "Because the Devil wants to send evil messages into our hearts, and rob us of our Good Meal and blessings." How come I don't come up with such nifty quotable quotes? =) But honestly - I praise Jesus for the wisdom given to this young one. The LORD has been kind to us to teach the little one in this way. The working of the Holy Spirit - no doubt. I am so glad he understands this basic fact. Many adults still struggle with understanding and accepting that the Devil is a thief. When trouble happens, they tend to point their fingers at Go...

I see GRACE

Image
Psalm 66:12 12 … we went through fire and through water, but You brought us out to rich fulfilment. When I look back at my life & reflect on the journey so far, I am constantly amazed by how much love, mercy and grace God has bestowed upon me and my family through Jesus Christ. I was like a lost child walking in the woods - devoured by the myriad branches and trees. I wasn't very witty and didn't say the sorta things that would make a girl popular. I wasn't very fashionable and I wasn't into trends and boy bands and popular music. I had few friends and I was depressed. I felt misunderstood and unloved. I started having doubts about my future and would check the astrology pages and even tried Tarot cards online. I was suicidal, I was in pain. I was blinded by painful experiences with the world's definition of love - conditional, cold, temporal. How did I get here? Only by grace. I no longer fear because my God is with me. He has a covenant promise to be m...

Marital Bliss Sits Well With Me

Image
We have been married for the last 3 months, and I am really happy. Joyful sort of happy. I enjoy basking in the smile of my hubby every morning. I enjoy watching him eat the food I prepare, and washing the dishes together with him after that. It is a simple bliss and I truly appreciate it. I honestly feel that I have a real gem of a hubby - moulded and shaped by my heavenly Abba Himself. Ian is a great husband who is secure in the LORD, and thus secure in himself. I don't mean to be prejudiced, but having dated non-Christians before, being with someone who shares your faith walk is crucial. Because if the relationship is to work out, it depends on a 3rd party and that is Jesus Christ . This is exactly why we enjoy what we have together as a couple - trust on a whole different level because we look to Christ to be the foundation of our relationship and the ultimate provider. I don't expect of Ian and he doesn't expect of me. We expect of Christ. I respect and trust Ian, an...
