i was re-reading my archives.. to reflect and crystallise the lessons i've learnt.. and add on new insights ive learnt!

those lessons..

on revival
revival is in the small choices we make, the obedience. and it just takes one person to start.. and then to spread the fire.. now, i think i shd stop talking about it, sharing or discussing it excessively. its time to just act on it, to model it, and then trust God to spread it.

on prayer
E.M. Bounds from Thy Will Be Done: "He prayed because the needs of the world were upon him. He prayed, for long years, upon subjects that that the easygoing Christian rarely gives a thought, and for objects that men of less thought and faith thought to be impossible. From his solitary prayer vigils, year by year, there arose teaching equaled by few men in modern Christian history." i think i've forgotten the power of prayer. its time to cry out for "thy will be done"!

on the world's lure
not to love the world and all that's in it, but to love God above all else.. to remember him as my first love!

on netball
i realised, netball played a big part in growing me this year. mentally. and like what i blogged.. i knew "God can use a sport to mould me". and its true! all things happen for the good of those who love Him. =) haha and looking back.. i think netball really means a whole lot to me.. thank God for this cca =)

on love
i remember praying and asking God to teach me all about love. what it means to love my neighbour, to love Him with my all, what love really means. and i thank God because He's really fulfilled it before my eyes. He brought me to Ruth & 1John lessons with Cecilia (learnt so much abt love in the bible!), He placed friends around me to show me love b/w neighbours, and opened my eyes to see how i can love my enemy. although its true i haven't obeyed completely and reached that point of maturity, i'm still grateful that im on my way there! this reminds me of "when you ask according to His will, He will grant it". and ask, that your joy may be complete! thank God for being happy to bless =)

on His faithfulness
also, God has been faithful, seeing me thru the seasons, bearing with me during the times i turned away.. being patient, longsuffering. im humbled, grateful. its like when someone does something for you which you don't deserve. like treating you to an expensive meal suddenly. u know that kinda feeling? haha.

psalm 119
you opened my eyes and made me see wonderful things in your law
let me understanding the teaching of your precepts; then i will meditate on your wonders
i will walk about in freedom, for i sought your precepts
to all perfection i see a limit, but your commands are boundless
