Hi. Just blog on something lighter than usual. :)

It's my 29th Birthday today. 29 years ago, God decided that I should be on earth and here I am.
Sometimes I question my own existence, but that aside I am here and I should make the best of my time here.

My husband celebrated my birthday 3 days earlier as we have prayer meeting in church today. It's ok with me, after all it's just a day and as long as HE remembers, I'm glad. He told me that we were going to a posh place to eat and to dress my best. I told him for me to meet his request, I need to buy a dress to match the occassion, he willingly gave his consent but peppered here and there with some remarks that I already have a few dresses in my wardrobe and are some seldom worn.

On Monday, I bought the dress at lightning speed (within 10 mins). The price was right, the fit was nice and I was happy. I wore that dress to "THE DINING ROOM" for the dinner that he would buy me. We ordered a dozen of fresh oysters and beef cheeks as starter. The oysters were so delicious, fresh and crunchy... describing it now has made the taste returned to my tongue. Unforgetable.

Each of us ordered a main course: HiS - Lobster and MINE - Grilled Lamb Cutlet and a few pieces of lamb fillet. It was grilled to such precision you can taste the heart in the cooking.

Adrian was particularly in love with the free flow of toasted mini baguettes, he had 3 pieces while I had 2. We were particularly drawn to the aroma of the toasted baguettes, very tasty even when eaten on its own.

The entire experience of fine dining was a pleasant one. The price was explosive but well... only once a year... :)

truth hurts but it heals too

2 nights ago, I asked a very close friend of mine if I am an insistent person. Haha.. without any second thoughts, she said yes. Wow, that drove a long nail right through my heart. If you ask, you'll get the answers. Of course, initially I would think to myself, I do not think I am an insistent person all the time but I only insist when I am sure about certain things close to my heart i.e. when I have been seeking God about it or it is IN my system due to long periods of conditioning e.g. spiritually or just my personal value system. That analysis certainly made me felt better but it also got me reflecting (truth heals). As I thought through, certainty about something for me will activate a wish/desire to see it happen immediately and NOW. If it is God's will, it is NOW. As I look back on buying our first flat, it was the same. When I first view the unit (my current place), I was quite sure that the house was IT. But my then fiance and husband now do not think so and asked me ...

Beyond the acts of verbal confession

Most Word-Faith teachers will use Mark 11:22 - 24 to justify their teaching and practise on "Faith as Positive Confession". Mark 11:22 - 24 (NASB) 22And Jesus answered saying to them, "Have faith in God. 23Truly I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be taken up and castinto the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he saysis going to happen, it will be granted him. 24Therefore I say to you, all things for which you pray and ask, believe thatyou have received them, and they will be granted you. 25Whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone,so that your Father who is in heaven will also forgive you your transgressions. Word-Faith teachers propogate that whatever you confess will come to pass but you must believe you have already received it. Therefore, if you still have lingering symptoms of an illness, confess that you are healed and not mention your symptoms then you are healed. I believe there's a ...

Mind

Ok. I admit, I use my mind a lot. I think a lot about many things in life. It used to be a great barrier for me to understand 'spiritual things'. For example, I didn't know how to see vision, how does the word of knowledge and word of wisdom operate. It is something abstract and uncomprehendable at stage of my life when I was exploring. Over the years, as I walked the journey of all these, God has taught me lots of important lessons. There was even a time when I was told "not to think so much" just be led by the Spirit of God. As I looked back, I realized that the MIND is an important faculty that God has created. WE are to love the Lord our God, with all our HEART, our SOUL, our MIND and our STRENGTH. We are to love God with our thoughts and what we think about. The MIND has to be renewed so that IT CAN APPROVE/DISCERN the will of the Lord - Romans 12:2. The MIND is the only faculty if renewed would be able to KNOW/APPROVE and discern God's will. God's wi...
