Think Talk Pray

What is our response when we are facing challenges?.. our natural instinct might lead us to thinking and talking about it.. it is perfectly normal until we start to overthink and/or overtalk..

1) thinking and talking about the challenges will not change anything.. we will not solve the issue just by thinking and talking about it over and over again.. what they do is to magnify the challenge which brings worry and fear into the equation.. the more we think or talk about the problem the more worried we become.. worry and peace do not come together.. 

2) if only we pray as much as we think or talk about the problem.. when we raise our thanksgiving and petition to God we are acknowledging that He is in control.. it will release peace and calmness knowing that He will come through as He has done it again and again in the past.. when worry does not change anything prayer changes everything!!..

3) what if God does not answer our prayer?.. we might not get the answer we want but at least prayer changes us if not our situation.. sometimes it is not the situation that needs to be changed, it is us.. having the right heart and perspective is the key to maturity and fulfillment of His promise in our lives.. we could only get it from going through process with the wisdom from God.. and that wisdom comes from the time we spend with God.. no time is wasted in His presence..

worry changes nothing but prayer changes everything.. worry about nothing and start praying about everything.. #praynowworrylater #peacecomesfromtrusting #peaceoversolution


"Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus."

Philippians 4:6‭-‬7 NLT

It Is All About The Base

Christmas is coming!! 🎉🎉🎉our family is so excited to have our first ever christmas tree in singapore.. we had a mini tree last time but it does not count as it does not have the feel as much as a tree with proper height.. So we bought this tree last sat and tried to set it up on sun and mon.. what took it so long?!.. the biggest issue was we can't make the tree stood straight as it is supposed to.. several tries it leaned backward, another few tries it was slanted to the right.. so frustrating because of 2 things: 1) our expectation is so high as this is our first christmas tree but we could not make it right 2) we hate to dissapoint kakak gide as he kept talking about decorating the tree.. After several battle scars trying to tighten the base we realized that the issue was with the base itself.. it did not serve as firm foundation for the tree to stand straight and tall.. thus we decided to come back to the shop.. cut the drama short (the store's real opening hours differs

Reflection on Hunger

Great truth on hunger from Ps @saulafh for the past few weeks at@vfcsg.. been reflecting on the series with below takeaways from where i stand now: 1) hunger for the right things brings the right atmosphere - if we are hungry for God and the things of God we will be filled with Him and all things that reflect who He is - this means it will bring peace, joy, hope, faith into our lives - if we are angry, disappointed, unhappy maybe because we are chasing the wrong things to fill our deepest hunger which we might realize or not realize it always has to do with our Creator? - i could imagine if i am hungry for kfc and for some whatever reasons i have to settle for salad, it will leave me with some frustration, disappointment there that could only be fixed with having kfc to have my true fulfillment.. and bring joy and peace into my life :) :) :) 2) joyful, peaceful, faithful, hopeful people attracts - first of all it will attract people with the same atmosphere.. this will make the right a

Different Perspectives on The Goodness of God

I am still waiting for my breakthrough.. I believe each one of us still having that area that we are all still waiting for that moment when God just shows up and makes things right.. It could be in our family, career, relationship, ministry, purpose, and so many other areas of our lives.. I thought at first we will be truly sincerely give thanks to God and be sure that God is indeed good when that supernatural moment comes.. This is what I believe until I received totally different perspectives recently.. First and foremost God has shown me that His goodness could not be measured by only the mega, big, major things like miracles, supernatural breakthroughs, or unexpected blessings.. It is always us who somehow put a mental barrier that only when this or that happens I could praise God for His goodness.. Only then I can give thanks to God with the right heart attitude.. Only then I would recognize how good God is.. This heart posture kills joy, peace, and hope since it creates lies that
