--

and so i was down with a bout of cold and bad bad bad runny nose.

was at home for the whole day today, a pity i missed the morning prayer meeting
but i was burning up pretty badly that my mom made me stay at home

nonetheless, it was good time spent alone as my mom went on a cruise and my sister to somewhere. haa

i read a book today, one which i've read cover to cover at least 3 times.
i love reading, if you dont already know.
i also ran 20 rounds around my house today! kudos to someone who dont really exercise much !

but what was most fruitful was spending time praying and dwelling in His presence.

will share more about that later.
but anyway..
i think i used to be a very impatient person, at least i hope i am not now !
but i hate waiting for the light to turn green before i can cross the road
i hate seeing 5mins light up on the screen while waiting for the train
i used to "cut lanes" whenever i walked behind an elderly or a pregnant lady
i'd find excuses to hang up a call as soon as i can with a "take care! i'll see you soon!"
but soon never seems to come around.


anyway..
things started to change.
i cannot walk past an elderly with a heavy bag without helping him or her to carry it
i find it difficult to just end a call with someone knowing that i haven said what i should
most importantly..
i learned that the presence of God needs a little of waiting upon
the bible tells us to tarry in His presence
to spend a little more time than you intended to

and that was exactly what i did today.
i tarried in His presence and it felt AWESOME !!!!!!!!

take me deeper,
deeper in love with You
Jesus, hold me close in Your embrace
take me deeper
deeper than i've ever been before
i just want to love You more and more
how i long to be deeper in love

it was just so simple
no gimmicks needed
no chim words to impress Him

just a simple..
God.. take me deeper
i do not want to be ankle deep, or knee deep, or waist deep..
but i want to swim in your presence
every single day

and BAM
the presence of God came and i spent the next hour weeping and praying
and really.. it's THAT easy.
you should try it someday.

anyhow, i got a verse after that and once again, it never fails to revive the dead dreams, the weak spirit..
you know faith like energy will leak out of us sometimes.. that's why it's so important for us to get recharge by God everyday !

1 Corinthians 2:9

But as it is written:

“Eye has not seen, nor ear heard,
Nor have entered into the heart of man
The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”


i wanta blog something that's close to my heart.
something that will probably cause mixed reactions
but next post, maybe..
haha.
the medication's kicking in and my eyelids are feeling really heavy now

but..
i just wanta say.
YOU ! WAKE UP !!!!!!
dont just do it out of convenience
when will you really learn to love Him?
okay. ranting's over.
im gonna go rant to risie now.
laughs.



if You can use anything..
God, You can use me
