Sweet love of us; you and me!

This week has been raining and I don't like it. It was too cold in the office, making everyone of us not in the mood of working hard. I still prefer summer, even it is hot. Today is last day before long break and I am ready for my holiday! I can't wait to fly this Sunday to Phuket. Here, I would like to wishing my self and everyone a great, fun and memorable break time~

Well, today, I just feel to write something silly, simple and relaxing. Nothing much in life. I am just being happy to share things about my love; our love. We just had our second anniversary. It was not candle light dinner. No cakes, no wine, no music, no present and no roses, even pictures. It was nothing and far from dream anniversary for ladies and anniversary I have seen before, but I was happy with it.

We were having dinner together at my place! XD I cooked and the greatest gift of all was I could cook for him and he could come for it. We clashed in argument about it before, but finally, we had it. His coming was the greatest gift after all. I planned to have candle light dinner, but not much time for me to arrange a real look of candle light dinner. Cooking after working is quite a rush. I successfully tried the two recipes. Yay!!! More cooking and baking to come for you and me, others maybe if it turn out good, hahaha..

I cook one main dishes, one side dishes and soup. It was simple and he liked too. I cooked honey soy chicken kebabs (of course it was in honey and soy sauce), key west chicken (in garlic, lime and soy sauce) and mushroom soup. I prepare salad too. Both chicken should be grilled, but I was just having them fried in the frying pan. It was hard and tough to adjust, it almost got burn, luckily, I managed to deal with them. It tasted really good. :) Again, the most important things is he liked it, hahaha..Thanks for liking. I was really happy. Tiring but happy and satisfied. :)

I planned to bake a cupcakes too, but busy week drives me grazy. I have no time. :( I should try it out next time for you. Hm, we have no pictures taken. We prayed (not really praying, but wishes to each of us) may God be with us all these days to the end of the time. Guarding us and watching us in the loving journey and life. Hm, of course I wish a proper celebration, with gift, cakes and all, but after all, I learned that celebration is not the priority. The most important is we know how to love each of us and grow well in the love between us. Thanks my love to let me see clearly. If I was asked what I want, I just want to spend all my days with you by my side and that's it and yes, one more, please try to like pictures taking a little bit in the future.

Happy Anniversary!

♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

you

&

Thank you for being by my side; to support me and to love me for who I am.

Thank you for being patient every moment I made you mad and cried.

Thank you for making me happy justly at the right time in my life.

Thank you love~

Thanks for planting the love seed in us and we have been growing in love of Yours.

Please let both of us to work that love into practical things so nothing can divide us.
We ask for words both kind and loving, and for hearts always ready to ask forgiveness as well as to forgive. 

Heart to love unconditionally.

Lord Father,

the strong love between us is greatest give from You.

Be with us and guide us that we could love each other more and more in Your way.

Jesus,

Use us in Your way to glorify Your name, Your Kingdom and people.

From wellspring of my heart,

Thank you Jesus.

Amen.

Spiritual Work

Time flies and unrealizable , I have been serving in my church ministry for almost two years. I could see that everyone of us is getting up in serving him, hopefully everyone of us is having His servant heart. I hope me too learning to grow that seed in my heart and my life, because until this moment of time, I know I am not His real servant yet. :)

Being involved in worship team, youth team and Boys Brigade are fun things.I serve people and Him, I cry, I learn, I mad at people, I complain and I have fun and joy. It is a part of my daily and spiritual life. I contribute ideas of what I think, I could do what I wanna do sometimes, we know each other throughout the time and I realize that we are tied as a friends, families, brothers and sisters. Thanks to all of you! :)

Until last night youth's meeting, seniors were talking about developing personal relationship of everyone of us with God and focus in His ministry. It was like a reminder and alarm to me for next year ministry. Questions came to my mine, what if I have to let go one of those ministries which now I involved in? Could I let it go? What should I focus actually? 

Somehow, I made up my mind that I would let go Youth Team in the church (if I have to/ asked to choose) and get my self to focus in Boys' Brigade and cell group. I definitely would never let go my ministry in worship team because I love to sing. I enjoy 'our' time. 

Letting go would be never easy. Since I have that thought, I believe, I was directed by Him. He put in me spontaneously. I know there would be gap between me and few people if it happens because the time we spend may not be as much as before, especially now, everyone is working. It is only in meeting and certain times we are together, but one thing, I would be so happy if they involve me in helping them. I would help them happily with my best. I would lose some spaces for my ideas and doing things for people in church. I don't know why, I love to do things, this and that. Well, until now, I have bad intention, but I am happy that it is not much as before. It is about getting recognition. I know that is bad. Thanks to my man that always consult me in this and I would pray that He help me to be real servant through people and things around me. :)

Letting go one again means I would get a new space for learn again and my love to do things (this and that). It would be all out to BB and cell group. It is only the matter of different age group. I think it would be fun and honestly, I am excited as well. I may plan this and have that thoughts, but it is all back to Him. Four months to come, I am ready for next year. Relationship with Him and focus on Him would be one of the specific thing in the list of my prayer from now on. I haven't been serious and soak my self to His presence over those things. I learn that sometimes we need to let go things that we love to do to gain and do something even greater than now. I don't know what it is, but honestly, I wonder how and why God actually direct me to be involved in juniors/ children ministry such as cell group and BB. I was also planning to be involved in children Sunday school in English church. At the moment, I would hold it back and get into it once I am really committed. I just don't want to stop at half way. I am ready for next year, do you? :) Let's keep all these in our prayer and focus.

*

Father God, 

may You direct everyone of us to Your way,

to do things You want us to do and to be used.

Help us to be the real servant for You, of Your Kingdom and  for Your people.

I don't have many things that I could guarantee I would do well for You,

but You have my voice, my life and my heart.

Shape them all and get them ready for Your calling. 

Let us not to serve You and Your people blindly for acceptance and recognitions like I may have sometimes.

Give us the grace, commitment and sincerity to be Your servant.

I may not be the best with all evils seeds in my characters and personality,

but please keep me in Your eyes and guard me,

sweep away all those evils from me.

Strengthen me and change me inside out.

Give me Your mercy and grace to share.

Give me the wisdom of Your heaven so that I could do well in life accordingly to Your way.

I need you Lord every second,

in all aspect of my life. 

I am Yours.

Have Your way in me and forgive my sin.

Thank you Father.

In Jesus name I pray.

amen.

Last week of August

August comes to the an end soon. Eight months are gone now and I can't wait for events to come, like my holidays, my sister's wed (I worry as well) and of course Christmas! Still, it is a few months way to go. I hope I would have a break through for some things and people in my life by the end of 2011.

Back to August, this Monday is another start of a busy week before a long weekend to go! I am going to Phuket for this holiday. I am happy and ready to go! :) I just wish could have a great and memorable time with my loved one and his friends; my friends too. Wishing everyone to have a great great holidays next week! =)

Oh yeah, I felt happy yesterday during the time praising and worshiping Him at church! Nothing much or special, I was just being happy. I realize, I have nothing more to give Him except my voice, my heart and my life. That is all I could give Him; to be used by Him. Why these three? Well, I am not sociable enough in my own life, maybe it would be hard for me if I want to be used by Him in wider way; in more social way. Even my personality and characters, sorry...It is still long way for me to learn, to be prepared and to be changed by Him. I believe some day, I could be even a better person for Him and others. Hold me tight Father! :)

Just like months before, life is up and down. I have some conflict with my own self, my loved one, my sister, my family, my job, other people and things that I could not mentioned one by one. I know the only solution is to again, commit everything to Him! Really, I want to be changed by Him and be better person in this life! :) I am not trying to being pushy, but sometimes, when I have conflict with people and things around me, hmm..I feel sad, I was thing how great it would be if I could be just bit better person. :) I guess no one would know what I think. To someone and some people, I am not kind of talking without action. I mean, I could be out of track or my words sometimes, it is hard inside anyway. No one know and I have my reason sometimes why I act so. I know, this is what I should learn in life. While life is about experiencing, I hope with these lessons from life, I could be a better person in future. Put trust in me! I am not a member of NATO :) I am working hard too, argh...maybe not hard enough? Well, I will work harder then! :)

Sweet sweet poem

I found this poem when I was viewing the wedding pics of strangers, I knew them just as strangers too...They don't even know me, hahaha... Am I stalking them? Hm..nope, I was accidentally jumped into their profile account in Facebook and this is one of the sweetest poem I have ever read:

--------------------------​--------------------------​--------------------------​-----
Dear Joceline, There are so many things I love about you.
I love your childlike quality,
Your sense of wonder,
Your enthusiasm for life and love,
I love the way you understand me,
Better, than anyone I've even known.

The way you're always thinking of things to make me happy,
I love the fun we have together although sometimes I've got some of your nail marks on my arms.
The way you can always make me laugh with your millions of dramatic emotions and facial expressions.
Just when I need it most.

And I love the way I am when I'm with you,
I see things more clearly even though sometimes you make me lost in direction too ... haha
Through your eyes and your touch,
Makes me feel everything more deeply.
I love discovering the inner you,
That other people never see.
And the more I discover, the more I find to love.

I love you simply because you are you,
That's why I know for the rest of my life I will always be in love with only you.

--------------------------​--------------------------​--------------------------​-----

 

Wasn't it so sweet? It was her husband's part of speech on their wedding day...I could see how much they are in love through their photos and all...

Have a lovely evening everyone! :) May love will always fill each day of our life 'til the end of time! :)

Have a good weekend everyone! =)

"No relationship is perfect, ever. There are always some ways you have to bend, to compromise, to give something up in order to gain something greater…The love we have for each other is bigger than these small differences. And that’s the key. It’s like a big pie chart, and the love in a relationship has to be the biggest piece. Love can make up for a lot."

If it comes in 1 2 3...

1. I want to experience a Christian concert for once at least in my life; Hillsong, Planetshakers maybe? :)

2. I know my self best. I still enjoy doing my things/ my activities alone compared to be with many friends whom I feel uncomfortable with.

3. I love to sing more lately, just more... :)

4. I have been quite lazy these few weeks. Argh... :(

5. I am preparing something big now.

6. I want to have my own mixer and baking oven. =D

7. I have struggling to have a hair cut or not.

8. I shopped at least once a month. I feel so bad and guilty. Price range was for below RM50.00 for each time. This month, I have had three times? :(

9. I could feel I am getting bit better, but still, I have my bad habits.

10. I am so lazy to work, if I could choose.

11. I pray for some people constantly... :) but, my Bible reading/ related reading habit was still so so bad. :(

Thing come and goes. People too,on and off. Life is finally about give and take. (I am not sure how this relate to my 11 things list, I am sleepy....Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Highlights of The Day

Before few highlights of my day, I just wanna say thank you...to my Lord Father, my man, my friends, my colleagues and my circumstances. Good or bad, You and others have made my day today! :)

What would be my highlight today?

First of all, last night, finally, I could spare some quiet time, not so long, but I had it...I was just reading and that's it! I was trying to get music played and sing, but I couldn't sing, the key was too high, hahahaha...Too bad! I feel like to sing lately, I would sing on my weekends maybe. =D

Last night too, me and my sister had been in small conflict. It was about putting our parents name in the invitation card. I would vote for yes and followed by our guardians, but it turned out to be yes after few debates. I wonder why there were so many taboos here and there, putting my dad and mum name were not a bad things. They should be the one who got the honor. It was just too bad them, they left us too early. I know and understand my sister was stuck in the middle yes or no with people around her. Some said no, it is taboo thing to do. Some changed from no to yes and that was the problem. As long as two parties doesn't mind, I guess it should be okay. I found no reason behind why not to put them in. How much I wish my sister could go back to Jesus's path. She knew Him long before and I have been and will always praying for her and her future family that some day, they would be with me, being a Christian. Amen.

I felt sad for my sis. There was no one helping her deep into the details of her marriage. I wish I could be there and how much I wish we don't live with many relatives. Me and my sister and some of us would be just perfect. It is more than enough maybe. Having a big families who are being non supportive in what we do is bad enough.

I was actually planning to gift my sister with a short video of me, my relatives and her friends. I have even sent an email out, requesting them to send their photos and some wishes for her and her future husband. It could be in video form too. Anything, as long as you feel to do that and no force at all. Only my mom's sister asked me about that, my good friends and my sister's friends, two of my relatives and not those whom I expected to be excited. I was quite upset and disappointed actually. At the other side, I try to think positively that they may miss the email/ letter, they maybe busy or forget. It was no right for me to ask everyone to be involved too. No matter how many and who are involved, I would still make that for me sister. It maybe be in simple, yet memorable way. Hopefully! :)

My sis also told me how my uncle and the family behaved toward her future husband. I get bit angry, upset and disappointed too. They are being non supportive from the start. They are good if they have good mood, if not, don't ask for more. I also keep my self to think positively, thinking a way to make things work and I encourage my sister, asking them to try harder and do what they suppose to do, and let God do the rest. They have to try harder and be patient. That's what I told my sister. She said yes, she will. I will always keep them in my prayer. It may not be everyone of them, but at least, my sister will always be in my prayer. I know deep inside, she must be so upset at the time, disappointed, struggling and fighting inside. I know she has been having more hard times compared to me. She is not tough as she may look. Sis, I wish it ended soon, be patient and hold on!

My mom's sister also told me to phone her. She wanna talk about my sister. I am scared actually. What else she wanna told me. Is it a good things/ bad? Is it a complaint? No idea. I just know I am scared. I will be calling her this weekend as well. Let's see what the story is about. :)

Last thing about last night, I asked my auntie about wearing same color dress during my sister wed. I have been asking her few months ago and she said she is busy. Well, okay! Yesterday, I texted her and again, she was not suggesting anything. We talk about other things and it ended there. I just want to try to get her involved, make them feel they are important and we need them, but nope, the gate was closed and that was it. We didn't come to the end of the discussion and she didn't reply me too. Clearly, I could see that. Did you too?

I told my sister many times that be patient, get them involved and make them feel they are important. It didn't work well like I think. Maybe it was from the start that things between them and the families were not discussed, that's why. I just wish this marriage won't bring anyone of us and my relatives to an end in term that oh..finally...she is married or finally, she is there or anything. May the day be a happy day for my sister and a new life for them, a fresh beginning of their love and life. As well for my family, let it not be the end.

Honestly, these things have been in my mind, quite sometimes, on and off. It comes and goes. I am tired, even me, I am tired. How about my sister alone there? I know her well, she is the most under pressure at the time. Herself and her future husband are. Be patient my sister. Hold on. End of this chapter is coming soon. Few months to go...

Song of The Day

Hold Me - Jamie Grace

I’ve had a long day I just wanna relax
Don’t have time for my friends, no time to chit-chat
Problems at my job, wonderin’ what to do
I know I should be working but I’m thinking of You and
Just when I feel this crazy world is gonna bring me down
That’s when Your smile comes around

CHORUS:

Oh, I love the way You hold me, by my side You’ll always be
You take each and every day, make it special in some way
I love the way you hold me, in Your arms I’ll always be
You take each and every day, make it special in some way
I love You more than the words in my brain can express
I can’t imagine even loving You less
Lord, I love the way You hold me

♥ ♫☼ ♫ ☼♪♬♫♩ ♫♪♥ ♬ ♫ ☼♩♬♫♬☼ ♫♥ ♪ ♫♪♬ ♩♩☼♫♪☼ ♫ ♫ ♩♪♬☼♥ ☼♩♬

 I love this song! Yes, Lord, keep holding me please! 

I love the way how You hold me...No one would hold me like You do! :) I need You Lord!

50 things to give up TODAY!

Well, I re-posted this! :) Thank you! =))

So starting today… 

Give up trying to be perfect. – The real world doesn’t reward perfectionists, it rewards people who get things done. 

------> Nobody is perfect Leny! :) Do your best to things that you want to get done with passion and love! 

Give up comparing yourself to others. – The only person you are competing against is yourself.

------> It's so true! Everyone is special on  his way, be  proud and stop comparing.  

Give up dwelling on the past or worrying too much about the future. – Right now is the only moment guaranteed to you.  Right now is life.  Don’t miss it.

------> Ah yes!!! I have to live my life now to the fullest. Never let the past hold me back and stop, worrying my life now and future. I still can change my future. I choose them and I make them.  

Give up complaining. – Do something about it.

------> I am happy to have you who always remind me  to stop complaining and learn to be thankful and grateful each day for everything. I am working hard on this! Wish me luck! :) 

Give up holding grudges. – Grudges are a waste of perfect happiness.

------> Hm...I need to learn keeping in my mind that there are even bigger and greater things that matters. Not a little bit of this and that...Stop mattering every little single things in life Leny... 

Give up waiting. – What we don’t start today won’t be finished by tomorrow.  Knowledge and intelligence are both useless without action.

------> Let's do something today, don't wait until tomorrow that tomorrow may not come...to love, to learn, to talk, to care... 

Give up lying. – In the long-run the truth always reveals itself.  Either you own up to your actions or your actions will ultimately own you.

------> Yes!   

Give up trying to avoid mistakes. – The only mistake that can truly hurt you is choosing to do nothing simply because you’re too scared to make a mistake.

------> Nobody is perfect! :) Mistakes are a part of learning! Me too, have to stop being scared to make mistake in life. Mistakes are not the end of the world! Be happy Leny... 

Give up saying, “I can’t.” – As Henry Ford put it, “Whether you think you can or you think you can’t, you are right.”

------> Nothing is impossible in Him! We can anything with Him by our side! :)  

Give up trying to be everything to everyone. – Making one person smile can change the world.  Maybe not the whole world, but their world.  Start small.  Start now.

------> Be someone for a person at the time! It matters most than pleasing everyone Leny! 

Give up thinking you’re not ready. – Nobody ever feels 100% ready when an opportunity arises.  Because most great opportunities in life force us to grow beyond our comfort zones, which means we won’t feel totally comfortable at first.

------> Yes, everything takes time, whether I like it or not, even I am in my comfort zones or not, uncomfortable time would be always there..We can't get rid ourselves from those! :)  

Give up setting small goals for yourself. – Many people set small goals because they’re afraid to fail.  Ironically, setting these small goals is what makes them fail.

------> Dreams big! Protect it! It's yours, your dreams belong to you...Sky is the limit!  

Give up trying to do everything by yourself. – You are the sum of the people you spend the most time with.  If you work together, you will be far more capable and powerful than you ever could have been alone.

------> It's so me! I just like to do things by my self, most of the time! Change now Leny!!!  

Give up buying things you don’t need. – Manage your money wisely so your money does not manage you.  Do not spend to impress others.  Do not live life trying to fool yourself into thinking wealth is measured in material objects. 

------> Priority comes first Leny, what you want may not be what you need! :) 

Give up blaming others for your troubles. – The extent to which you can live your dream life depends on the extent to which you take responsibility for your life.  When you blame others for what you’re going through, you deny responsibility – you give others power over that part of your life.

------> I need to work hard on this too...Stop finding mistakes from others, stop blaming! I am more likely to complain rather than blaming, hehehe... 

Give up making mountains out of molehills. – One way to check if something is worth mulling over is to ask yourself this question: “Will this matter in one year’s time?  Three years?  Five years?  If not, then it’s not worth worrying about.

------> Okay! :)  

Give up trying to live up to the expectations of others. – Work on it for real and exceed your own expectations.  Everything else will fall into place.

------> We tend to live to please everyone, to live our life to get accepted. Get yourself out and work on it for real, things will follow!   

Give up the ‘easy street’ mentality. – There is too much emphasis on finding a ‘quick fix’ in today’s society.  For example taking diet pills to lose weight instead of exercising and eating well.  No amount of magic fairy dust replaces diligent, focused, hard work.

------> Ah yes!!! :) We love short cut and forget about the process! :)  

Give up making promises you can’t keep. – Don’t over-promise.  Over-deliver on everything you do.

------> Promise only if you will do that. If you are not sure, forget it! :)  

Give up letting your thoughts and feelings bottle up inside. – People are not mind readers.  They will never know how you feel unless you tell them.

------> Speak it out Leny at the right time at the right place to the right person! Nobody would know if I don't speak up...I will learn to speak and speak! =D

Give up avoiding change. – However good or bad a situation is now, it will change.  That’s the one thing you can count on.  So embrace change and realize that change happens for a reason.  It won’t always be easy or obvious at first, but in the end it will be worth it.

------> :)  

Give up your sense of entitlement. – Nobody is entitled to anything in this world.  We are all equal.  We breathe the same air.  We get what we give.  We get what we earn.

------> We are not drama queen and king, even we are alive in the life called Broadway. We know show goes on , but stop being dramatic Leny! 

Give up being anti-athletic. – Get your body moving!  Simply take a long, relaxing walk or commit 30 minutes to an at-home exercise program like the P90X workout.

 ------> Yayaya...be smart! :)  

Give up relationships with people who bring you down. – Saying “no” to right people gives you the time and resources required to say “yes” to right opportunities.  Spend time with nice people who are smart, driven and likeminded.

 ------> :) 

Give up worrying about what others think of you. – Unless you’re trying to make a great first impression (job interview, first date, etc.), don’t let the opinions of others stand in your way.  What they think and say about you isn’t important.  What is important is how you feel about yourself.

 ------> Yes, thank for your reminded! I am working on it now. 

Give up trying to control everything. – Life is an unpredictable phenomenon.  No matter how good or bad things seem right now, we can never be 100% certain what will happen next.  So do you best with what’s in front of you and leave the rest to the powers above you.

 ------> Appreciate all what I have know , stop to want/ get this and that, what I have now are too precious to forget about and to give up/ to lose. :)

Give up making emotional decisions. – Don’t let your emotions trump your intelligence.  Slow down and think things through before you make any life-changing decisions.

 ------> Yes, another wise gentle reminder for me!   

Give up doing the wrong things just because you can get away with it. – Just because you can get away with something doesn’t mean you should do it.  Think bigger.  Keep the end in mind.  Do what you know in your heart is right.

 ------> :)  

Give up focusing on what you don’t want to happen. – Focus on what you do want to happen.  Positive thinking is at the forefront of every great success story.  If you awake every morning with the thought that something wonderful will happen in your life today, and you pay close attention, you’ll often find that you’re right.

 ------> Be positive Leny, POSITIVE!!!  

Give up taking yourself so seriously. – Few others do anyway.  So enjoy yourself and have a little fun while you can.

 ------> Slow the ride, take a breath, enjoy the run and ride, too many things to miss out along the ride called life! :) 

Give up spending your life working in a career field you’re not passionate about. – Life is too short for such nonsense.  The right career choice is based on one key point: Finding hard work you love doing.  So if you catch yourself working hard and loving every minute of it, don’t stop.  You’re on to something big.  Because hard work ain’t hard when you concentrate on your passions.

Give up doubting others. – People who are determined do remarkable things.  Remember, the one who says it can’t be done should never interrupt the one doing it.

 ------> :)  

Give up fussing with every beauty product on the market. – Good looks attracts the eyes.  Personality attracts the heart.  Be proud to be you.  That’s when you’re beautiful.

 ------> I am proud to be my self, I just need to work a little harder to be a better me with all my weaknesses and strengths...Smile and be confident! :)  

Give up trying to fit in. – Don’t mold yourself into someone you’re not.  Be yourself.  Oftentimes, the only reason they want you to fit in is that once you do they can ignore you and go about their business.

 ------> It is so true! :)   

Give up trying to be different for the sake of being different. – Nonconformity for the sake of nonconformity is conformity.  When people try too hard to be different, they usually end up being just like everyone else who is trying to be different.  Once again, be yourself.

 ------> Be yourself Leny! :)  

Give up trying to avoid risk. – There’s no such thing as ‘risk free.’  Everything you do or don’t do has an inherent risk.

 ------> :)  

Give up putting your own needs on the back burner. – Yes, help others, but help yourself too.  If there was ever a moment to follow your passion and do something that matters to you, that moment is now.
