sitting at the feet of Jesus...

sitting at the feet of Jesus,

wait upon Him

to hear what He has to say..

the prophesy that has been given to me.. to sit at the feet of Jesus.. what a simple phrase but what a powerful truth..

i have the tendency of rushing all around.. wanting to get a lot of things done.. yet i forget that without Him, everything becomes meaningless.. and much less could have been accomplished despite of the great amount of efforts put in..

sometimes the most appropriate thing to do is just to sit at His feet to seek Him.. and everything else will just fall into place.. as He gives to you what you need..

let's not trade God's presence and our relationship with Him for anything else in life.. for nothing will fill the hole in our hearts like He does.. and nothing can measure up to His love for us and faithfulness to us..



no one could compare to Him...


Love,
Naomi

painful but necessary...

God need to deal with your dirty laundries before you can see growth...

it is gonna be painful but it is necessary..

for I want to see a breakthrough..

to bear fruits of repentance and of the Holy Spirit..

I am fearful of what is to come but I want to trust that I would emerge victorious with God as I persevere on in His molding..

Jia you, Naomi!!!


Love,
Naomi

改变。。。

改变自己，改变世界。。

change yourself, change the world..


改变须从自己开始。。

change needs to start from oneself..


就像那个把岸上一只一只的海星丢进海里的小男孩。。

just like the little boy who is throwing the starfishes on the shore back into the sea one by one..


因为他相信能救一只是一只。。

because he wants to save as many as he can..


感谢主，他有想要以自己的力量为这个世界敬一份力。。

thank God for him wanting to make a difference..


相信你自己也能为这世界敬一份力。。

believe that you can make a difference to the world..


从这一分钟开始，从自己开始。。

from this moment on, starting from yourself..

改变自己。。 change yourself..


Love,
Naomi

2 thoughts...

a mini 'debate' with my colleagues surfaced 2 thoughts in me..

1) Is it really rational to side your good friends?

2) It isn't about what people tell you sometimes.. but rather it is about what do you want in a thing sometimes and are you willing to accept the shortcomings of that thing.. as nothing is perfect in this world.. in the same way, it is applicable to other areas of our lives..

one thing is for sure.. you have to make the decision in the things in your own life.. even choosing not to choose is also a decision made.. listening to what your friends have to say can be a good thing and a bad thing at the same time..

so what is the good part of it?
- able to get some information that you may need to make an informed decision
- can give you a perspective of things that you might not have think before
- if this friend is your mentor, he/she can definitely help you understand better of yourself and the situation before making the decision

here comes the bad part
- you can get swayed to make a decision that you think is good for you because your friend is very convincing
- you will always run to people when you need to make a decision as you might think they can make a better decision than you

if you are asking friends for opinions so that you can see the blind spots that you have towards making the decision then definitely it is a must to do so.. we would surely need the opinions of others to help us to make a informed choice.. BUT.. we need to weigh the cost ourselves and then make the decision for we will be the one ultimately paying the price and bearing the consequences.. we need to know how much are we willing to take on so that when difficult times come.. we would not stumble and fall so easily..

definitely, God has to be in the picture as you make the decision.. for He is the One that will help you achieve what you want to achieve as long as it is according to His will..

we all have to carry our own cross daily.. and making decisions is a part and parcel of that..


Weigh the cost and make your own decision..

Naomi
