my life in pictures.

christmas dinner with ah gong and ah ma.
my ah ma and my mommy look exactly like each other.
we sang "you yi jian li wu".
they need Jesus.
their time is getting shorter.

present from my little brother.
he never fails to surprise me with gifts.
he buys us presents on birthdays and during christmas.
on this christmas night, right now, he's reading the bible.
spending the night with the One
who rightfully should be the reason for this season.

buying christmas presents can be fun and humorous too.
pink obiang basket on a cool bike.

sharing her joy, sharing his joy, sharing their joy.
one week into marriage, and he's loving it.
the sight of them kneeling before the cross.
being prayed for by their parents.
a really touching scene.
Lord, i pray you watch over her.
take care of her family too.
and comfort her to know that they are in safe hands.

time with a friend at loysel's toys.
coffee, breakfast set.
it was fun and cosy.
thank you Lord for giving us that time together.

hanging out at night with friends.
thank you for inviting me along.
thank you for the treat.
for walking me back though it was so out of the way.
will miss those times.
walking to the mrt together.
chatting on IM.
random visits to 10th floor.

meal with a lovely friend.
after a morning of being with God at hv's coffee bean.
she came by to be together.
walked me all the way back to office.
encouraged me from the book of acts too.
taking halfdays like what py does really does refresh me.
the work back in office remains as tough as it is.
but perspectives change.
spending time with friends and God.
brings so much joy and excitement to life.

Lord, he needs your touch.
he needs your love.
he needs to experience you in a supernatural way.
making tags together.
that was tiring, but worth the effort.
imagine.
imagine the way God might work through our tiny efforts.
thank you for taking them all back to write!

made cookies with a friend. (:
choc chip betty crocker cookies.
her family was welcoming.
loved her mommy's cooking.
thank God for the wonderful family You have given to her.
blessings.

privileged to be one of the sisters at her wedding.
she's the first among us to get married.
happy for her! :D :D

quick sand.

i saw people being swallowed.
swallowed by the ground.
swallowed by quick sand.

i was standing somewhere far, somewhere higher.
while the people were below the mountain.
i was helplessly watching them slowly struggling to breathe.
to stay afloat.
but the quick sand was stronger.
much stronger.

i was one of the few to witness that.
then two people came, one after another.
to sit with me.
i told them what happened.
and i was sobbing and crying so badly.
and even breathing as i cried was difficult.

it was then i woke up from the dream.
my eyes were watery.
heart pumping quite fast.
and realized it was a dream.
but it was so real.
it seemed to affect me even in reality.

dreams.
what are they?
who are they from?

it's been some time since i last had a dream.
my dreams always seem to be about death.
or about running from danger.

wonder what the dream taught me....
about people losing their lives?
about friends who sit by you?

i'm not quite sure.
but i'm glad to leave it as it is.

help me to trust.
