Bible.

Came across this video on persecution. This man was persecuted because the military government in Laos thought that this man was a American spy . But he was spreading the Word of God which often confused for spreading Westernism or Americanism (still very much relevant today).
This is based on the the real story and this man will take any minutes he can to read the Bible in the prison. He was beaten, was pointed gun on his head for 10 over years. He stated this, ' I can stand being beaten, starved but I cannot live without the Word of God.'. He went on saying that he was afraid of forgetting the verses as years flies because of not reading the Bible.
And I was thinking to myself, ' How many times did I read my Bible today?' . This man that I mentioned LOVE the Word of God so much that he was beaten because he wanted to read the Bible. And I am ashamed to say that I put the Word of God aside because of what? Facebook? Breakfast? Sleep?
I think it is kind of true that we will never really learn to appreciate until it is taken away. But now I know that Bible is there and is free and I am not persecuted for reading it..I think I really need to learn to equip myself. To read BIBLE and LOVE the Word of God.
For someone like me who is soooo soooo lack of discipline, it's advisable to set time apart to truly understand the truth in Bible. It's not about you know, rules and laws ..but you know commitment sometimes needs effort too. And if I truly understand the love of God, I would be empowered to do the things He wants...to read the Word of God for my best interest. :)
I love the ending statement too, ' What would you do for a Bible?'...Come to think of it, many times we take things for granted. But it is never to late to realise this , aren't we? Let's start today. Let's be a Word-based Christian that applies the Word in our lives too! :)
'Take the Word of God with you as you go. Take the seeds of God's word and make them grow. '

''Packing is a little bit different this time; I am packing memories as well.''
I know this day will arrive. This day where this university life will come to an end. I still remember my mother sent me to this island and I cried when she went back alone and was grateful she made a trip here. I cried to her telling her that I have no friend. I cried because I was alone. How time flies.
Today, I know if I cry...I cry of joy because my God supplies all the needs that He knows I need in this university---- He gave me everything that made this university chapter such a worthwhile chapter. How I have grown towards Him, how I have grown to love people around me...this things I will never never never see myself as, three years ago. Marvellous things He did and transformed in me.
I know the road ahead could be a little bit stormy and windy. I know with all the doubts and uncertainties I may fall but I choose to live with Him and for Him. I believe that everything that I've learnt here , it will be enough for me to move forward for the next chapter. A friend of mine wrote this to me, 'I will let you go because I know God has in-stored so much more for you, for your journey ahead.'
There you go, I am leaving this place with the heart of gratefulness and joy because of my God who is ever faithful and my friends that never stop encouraging and draw me close to our God each day. :) I know that even in times of trouble in the future, I will look back, looking at this chapter and reminisce the works and love my Father had done and shown through the people around me and will preserve and finish strong with my eyes set upon Him and continue establishing His kingdom with actions of love.
With this, see you again people! It's never goodbye! Thank you so much for even in every little things you have done.
Your love, LORD, reaches to the heavens, your faithfulness to the skies.
(Psalm 36:5)

Leaving everything behind is never easy. Separation from the ones you love is not easy. Life will be different indeed. But here is to everything we ever did and done. *lift up my cup of plain water*...For all the craziness, laughter , jokes , lameness...all the memories we created. Just want to tell you , that you are loved even after this. Life in university would never be the same without you. Thank you for always always always always... loving me for who I am! :')
''Leaving everything behind is never easy, but leaving knowing you are loved and valued by the people who went through everything with you, is indeed something you take with and KEEP in your whole life. :')''

One more month left before the closing for this very chapter that I would remembered for the rest of my life. In this chapter, I realised and know God more personal than ever and being equipped so many lessons and values that I couldn't even expressed. For His unfailing love, that enabled me to be changed and transformed. Looking back, I was this girl who need to be taken out from her broken place, to be healed and to be drawn closer to Him. Looking at it now, I am really delighted that I decided to follow Him. I am on the way to be the person He wants to be. To be mold and shaped. :)In this chapter itself, I met beautiful people who loves me despite anything , who wants to carry me forward in their life. So much for this three years. I could't even imagine my life without this people that coloured my life. I am really thankful for you, yes you ( I know who reads my blog) who are reading this for you have been in my life, to even show me loves and advice through your actions and words.
Brothers and sisters, though our path crossed may stopped here but I will earnestly look forward for the day we will be celebrating in heaven. But at the mean time, live your life for Him. :)

This post is for this girl, PHANG CARMEN. Why? Because I always wanted to write about her. Yeah, and because today I was reflective about my university journey and this girl is a must-for-me to write because I really sayang her.
I remembered seeing her in NC. That time everyone said to me ,' You should know Carmen lah'. I am like ,' Who is this girl?. Last week as I was talking to her , she said that I am her one of good friends. I am like so honoured. This girl is President for our university CF. Why would she consider me as her good friend? HAHA.
Turned out, the feeling is mutual. Turned out, she is one of the best things that happened to me in university. I always that God placed her in my life to equip me with His love and His wisdom. This girl always look at things so differently that I can learn from her. This girl always so fired up for God. This girl always always lend her helping hands when I have no one to turn to. She always says to me , 'Fong Wan, you know you always come to me when you don't have enough money.' :') God knows what I need in life, it is not about money. It is about reassurance He will provide.
Today I just want to tell her this:
Dear Phang Carmen,
I am really thankful for you. Yes, you! I know you might hear this many times, but I really think I sayang you. Thank you for everything you have done. Always so welcoming. Always so accepting. Like a family , I can rely when I have no one to turn to. I am really grateful for your presence in my life. Thank you for showing me Christ's love towards people. Thank you for living God's way. Thank you for just being there for me caring for me as I go somewhere. Thank you for teaching me lessons . Thank you for regarding me as your good friends. I may not be that good but in your eyes, you always see the best in me. So many things great things about you, but thank you so so much for choosing to LOVE me despite everything. :') WE will definitely cheer one another up to keep our eyes on Him and run the race with endurance, okay? Let finish the race and demonstrate of His love to family and the ones we care okay? Let's be friend forever until we go heaven okay? And we shall dance with joy with Him in His kingdom. :')
