Think i'm addicted to Fei Fei wanton mee.. it's always sooo nice! Just a random thought after having it for lunch!!

Complete trust & reliance

God smiles when we trust Him completely
Trusting God means having faith that He knows what is the best for you.
Trusting God that He'll keep His promise to you, help you with your problems and do the impossible when necessary. (Purpose driven life, Chapter 9)

This really hit me as I was reading the book, how timely is God's word to me. Indeed, God is never early nor late, but He is also on time!!
Am reminded this morning of what it means to trust Him completely. How easy to say that we trust in Him but yet the test comes when u encounter difficulties, and when there's a problem that u can't wait to solve or a desire that u want answered immediately.
These are moments when you will wanna take things into your own hands and get things settled or done, these are times when you'll find yourself being frustrated, impatient and upset when things just don't seem to be going as you planned or hoped, helplessness and vulnerable.
And this just seems so familiar to me.

And yet, God seems to be speaking so clear and close to me: "Pat, I've it all planned out. Do you trust me enough to let go and quit trying to make things work by your own efforts, quit feeling frustrated and afraid, but I see it all, I know your heart and I have it all planned. Won't you trust in Me completely and allow me to work in your life?"

How could I say no to You Lord? Now I see that all these frustrations and unhappiness are so unnecessary becos I have been relying on the wrong source- myself. What a great relief to know that regardless of how situation might seem to be, regardless of how I'm feeling, God has always been in control of the situation, is always willing to work the best out for me, that is if I'm willing to give Him room and rule.
My answer: I'm willing.

"Casting the whole of your care (all your anxieties, all your worries, all your concerns, once and for all) on Him, for He cares for you affectionately, and cares about you watchfully." (1 Peter 5:7, amp)

Just us..

Tagged Tag game...

Ok, I've been tagged by dear jean ho ho ho.. was just reading her blog yesterday, she was writing about her being tagged by her friend and had to write 10 things about herself, seldom known to others. And that she'll have to pass on the tag to 6 other frens. I was innocently thinking as I'm reading, haha... more ppl kena tagged. So funnie... then... I saw: 5) patricia chiang!!! Alamak... i'm one of those who kena!!! *wanna faint.

So... to be sporting, I shall write as I'm tagged tasked to. Here goes...

1) Lizards scare me to tears

Haha, know that most ppl might already know this, but I still wanna write it anyway. I HATE, TOTALLY ABHOR LIZARDS!!!
Been asking myself why God created lizards... ok, besides the fact that they eat mosquitoes and other bugs, they are cold and creepy, always seeking to scare their victims by falling on them suddenly! And they are soooo cold... haha..
Anyway, yup, too many incidents with them that they have a tendency to scare me to tears should they spring too sudden an 'attack' on me.

2) Shy and a little introvert

I think i'm rather shy leh. haha... though many would laugh when they hear or see this. and a little introvert, though i haven't done any character test or such, and though many dun believe that I am. haha.. and some concluded that i might be a lazy extrovert. But in any case, i dun mind socialising and meeting new ppl, but much prefer to just be by myself at times, or just spend time with closer friends. Dun really enjoy big parties or having too much attention on me. But I do rise to occasions when needed, especially with regards to minsitry or when the atmosphere gets too quiet or strained. but i'm shy... =p

3) Aspires to be a successful career woman

yes, i'm in serving the Lord in church now, yet there has always been a part of me that aspires to climb the corporate ladder, being independent and successful in career.
I'm still independent and successful in my own way now, and i know God has great plans for me!! Though i may not be able to climb up the corporate ladder, but mister mok can do so on my behalf. =)

4) Cries easily

especially when i see someone else crying. Tear when I'm real angry or frustrated. Tear when watching sad or touching movies, or when i hear real moving testimonies about God's love and compassion. Will always try to wipe my tears away discreetly...

5) Compassionate

have a tendency to feel for ppl who are less fortuanate; going through difficuly times or who are left out or ostracized by others. There's just a great urge to wanna identify with them and be with them.

6) Wish that I can be more bold and assertive

i'm a little hesitant to speak up or to voice my opinion, especially to people of authority. It'll be great if i can be a little more assertive, confident and "confrontational" in times when needed.

7) Can't take "rich food", which saddens me at times

rich food like cheese(except for certain ones), spaghetti, pasta, cream soup and sauces, buttery stuff, mutton and most beef and raw food are no no to me. Its good cos these are also expensive stuff, so can help save $$ since I wun crave for such. Yet, there're many times when i wish i can enjoy such food with my frens, esp since most ppl love them, and i feel quite bad that I'm a spoiler in the group whenever we are deciding on a eating place. And a correction to all: I'm not fussy with food, just have a unique taste bud! hahaa...

8) Favorite color= PINK!!! (Is it still a secret? =p)

9) I eat chips and ice cream only when I'm with a crowd (especially mister mok!)

am not a chips, ice cream and junk food person, and i crave for such only when i'm hanging out with the gang or when i'm with mister mok. think its rather weird. I can buy chips or ice cream and it'll be still left untouched after 1-2 months (provided not attacked and finished my my bro), yet the cravings just come when i'm out with others...

10) Be a doggy- owner

One of my childhood dream is to own a dog. Unable to fulfill this dream as i had asthma when i was young and also parental objection up till today. My hopes were pinned on having one when I get married, but have been thinking of the committment and time needed in taking care of the dog, its a huge responsibilty!! and most probably, I won't be getting one after all. For now, i'm contented with playing with sundae(merry had a little lamb!)and sprout( super pretty face and a active shredding machine!) ba

Okk.. its real tough. And i apparently have to tag 6 other ppl.. can't believe I'm doing this!!
okk.. i tag:

1) Wendy Tham
2) Min
3) Jac
4) Amos Wee
5) Michelle Tan
6) Linette Tan

Wanna tag mister mok, but he doesn't blog..=p you escaped.
