For every storm, a rainbow,
For every tear, a smile,
For every care, a promise,
And a blessing in each trial.
For every problem life sends,
A faithful friend to share,
For every sigh, a sweet song,
And an answer for each prayer..

May God give you...
Seek First God’s Kingdom
31“Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. 33But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.”....
As a child of God, know that it is your Father’s pleasure to meet all your needs. Jesus Himself tells us, “For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.” But God does not want you to seek after needs. He wants you to seek first His kingdom. And when you do that, all the things that you need will be added to you!
So your first priority every day is to seek His kingdom. The word “first” in verse 33 is the Greek word proton, which means “first in order or importance, holding the highest place in all our affections”. So God wants us to seek first His kingdom, and all things will fall gloriously in place.
We are not to seek after things the way Gentiles do. The word “seek” in “the Gentiles seek” (verse 32) is the Greek word epizeteo. It means “to seek with all their might with much sweat or with much stress”. However, the way God wants us to “seek” in “seek first the kingdom of God” is the Greek word zeteo, which means “to hunger, to desire to worship”. It is simply a hungering, a desiring for the kingdom of God, without any toil or stress.
But what is the kingdom of God? Romans 14:17 tells us that it is righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. And the kingdom of God dwells within you because the Holy Spirit indwells you. So the kingdom of God is His righteousness, peace and joy in you.
Make sure that peace and joy in the Holy Spirit is flowing inside you every day. Seek every day to be conscious of your righteousness in Christ, not your own righteousness, but His righteousness given to you as a gift. Pursue Jesus first. Spend time with Him, listening to His Word. And when you do these things, you are seeking His kingdom and His righteousness, and all the things that you need will be added to you!
(above is an extract of daily devotion from New Creation Church)
I'm currently cultivating the habit in reading the daily devotion every morning, to start my day with my heavenly Daddy.. =) Today's devotion was pretty good, it remind us to cultivate the presence of God, to seek Him 1st, HIM, Jesus, when we put Jesus 1st all peace, love, joy and righteousness will follow, because Jesus IS THE JOY, THE PEACE, THE STRENGTH. These are all IN the person of Christ. We need not seek for healing but the Healer, need not seek for victory and success, bcoz success is Christ Himself =D Need not seek for happiness and joy, bcoz Jesus is THE JOY. Thank You Jesus, for Your unfailing love for us, i worship u my Jesus my abba Father.. You ARE My Everything!!! ^-^

See God’s Goodness In The Midst Of Evil
Psalm 91:1
He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
God does not play a game of counterattack with the devil — the devil does something bad, then God steps in to bring something good out of it. The truth is, when something bad happens, it is the devil reacting to something good that God has started. The Lord once told me, “Tell My people that if they want to understand what I am doing, they can look at what the devil is doing and see it in reverse — that is what I am doing, multiplied many times over.”
I see this truth in the Bible. When Christ was born, soldiers were sent to kill all baby boys under the age of two in Bethlehem. The folks in Bethlehem then would have seen only evil. But there were those like Mary who saw God’s goodness. They knew that God had sent a Saviour into the world! The killing of the infants was just the devil’s reaction to something wonderful God had started.
The Lord showed me that this was how we were to look at the bird flu when it hit our region not too long ago. While I was pondering the significance of birds, the Lord showed me Matthew 6:26: “Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?”
If God takes care of the birds, how much more will He take care of you! So, by attacking the birds with disease, the devil is, in essence, reacting to God’s provision for His people. In other words, he saw that God’s provision had been released on His people in a big way!
With every new virus that the devil throws at us, you must discern that he is trying to pervert and reverse what God is already doing. Then, you will know that something good is going to come out of it. You see, every new strain of virus tells us that God has already released a new anointing of health for His people. And I believe that God releases new levels of prosperity for His people too. So don’t just see the evil — see what the Lord is already doing!

God DO Exist
A man went to a barbershop to have his hair cut and his beard trimmed. As the barber began to work, they began to have a good conversation.
They talked about so many things and various subjects. When they eventually touched on the subject of God, the barber said: "I don't believe that God exists."
"Why do you say that?" asked the customer. "Well, you just have to go out in the street to realize that God doesn't exist. Tell me, if God exists, would there be so many sick people? Would there be abandoned children? If God existed, there would be neither suffering nor pain. I can't imagine a loving God who would allow all of these things."
The customer thought for a moment, but didn't respond because he didn't want to start an argument.
The barber finished his job and the customer left the shop. Just after he left the barbershop, he saw a man in the street with long, stringy, dirty hair and an untrimmed beard. He looked dirty and unkempt.
The customer turned back and entered the barber shop again and he said to the barber: "You know what? Barbers do not exist."
"How can you say that?" asked the surprised barber. "I am here, and I am a barber. And I just worked on you!"
"No!" the customer exclaimed. "Barbers don't exist because if they did, there would be no people with dirty long hair and untrimmed beards, like that man outside."
"Ah, but barbers DO exist! " answered the barber. "What happens, is, people do not come to me."
"Exactly!"- affirmed the customer. "That's the point! God, too, DOES exist! What happens, is, people don't go to Him and do not look for Him. That's why there's so much pain and suffering in
the world."

Tougher Life......
I am so use to the comfort zone back in Malaysia, where my beloved parents will always be there around me taking care of me like a baby=p , where going somewhere anywhere is always a drive away, where i can call my buddies anytime i want, where i can hang out at murni, ktz, kim gary, secret recipe and pasar malam, where going shopping is never too far...
Many times i find myself comparing the life i will have in malaysia to here.. and i'm struggling..
I miss mummy and daddy's hug and nagging, miss Le Le's noise and her messy cupboard, miss snatching cheesecake to eat with mummy and lele, miss Joan's chatty voice, funny jokes and blur face, miss mamaking with EeKhai, miss driving to 1utama and mid valley, miss Murni's Roti Hawaii, miss pasar malam.. miss my car... miss miss miss....there's too much to name...
Yet i know that I've to face it all, to be really independent, like a baby, a tendering plant coming to a new environment... without family.. without friends...
God... i pray that you will give me strength to carry on... to fill this empty cup.. to bring my joy back...
Daddy i pray that You'll help me to love this place.. to bring me Godly friends..
Thank you for being there for me always.. thank you for never leaving me.. thank you Jesus for your love for me ...

3 weeks....
So sad that we’ve to say bye bye to our 1st core training… What would the rest of our working life be? Clock in on 8.30 sharp at 32nd floor … desperately looking for seats? Sign in for unassigned time and stayed OT for the rest of the week? NooOOoo…….
I believe there's so much more to come… The process of turning the theories into practice.. to build network with people around us … to learn in the “REAL WORLD” …
I should just say… “WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD” ^O^ ……
Pray that God will guide me thru the easy, tough and challenging situations …, giving me wisdom and understanding… positive thinking and strength to pull it thru … ^-^
God I choose depend on You

Updates from Australia =)
I'm back in Australia again.... At Queensland, Brisbane, a suburb name St. Lucia, a street call Walcott Street,a college named - Grace, a room numbered 410c ^O^"
Class started weeks ago.. and I'm still working hard to switch from the "holiday mode" to "study mode". I'm taking 2 Law subjects this semester- Corporation Law, Income Tax Law. Both subjects require lots of readings as well as consistency in studying.. =p Hope I could be more disciplin though... Beside that, i'm taking KOREAN LANGUAGE! WOw! I love that class, it's a really relaxing class, aside of some extra effort of memorizing the new words.. there's not much challenge ^O^"
Happening's in queensland......
25th Feb- Mount Coot-Tha:
Get to go to Mount Coot-Tha at night! The scenery was really nice, able to look at the city of Brisbane, the Airport, UQ, Toowong Village..^-^. It was a real blessing by Judah 5 (Hope church cell group)
26th Feb- Amazing (G)Race:
Participated in the Amazing Race held by Hope Church. Get to meet lots of people as well as know the city of Brisbane better=). Did alot of walking under the Hot sun PHEEWw..... No doubt, the weather was rEalLY ReAlly burning HOT(Got sun burned)! But, it was real fun! Our group got the "Best TeamWork" awards and won a hamper of goodies!!! HoORay!!!
1st March- Grace College International Night:
It was international night, every floor in our college was to represent a country, and mine was give "Malaysia"!! Go Go Malaysia. Well, due to the last minute information given by the college.. we didn't get to prepare well. Every floor was to prepare something to present to the others and we weren't told about that....So, when the principle called out our floor name.. we were kinda panic.. being the only malaysian in my floor.. i had to come out with something "of cause!" who else could? so I made all my floor member did the Malay way of greetings, which is "A-sam-ma-le-kum". It was pretty spontaneous, yet it was Fun!
5th March- Lone Pine & Shorn Cliff:
Joined BCC Church trip to Lone Pine & Shorn Cliff. It was terrific! We only paid aud20 for the whole trip. Thinking that we'll surely get some sandwich or hot dogs for lunch, suprisingly we were blessed with KFC (~that where i wanna b) hahha! wow, It was really nice of them! Get to feed the kangaroo in lone pine~~. Also, had lots of fun in Shorn Cliff (beach). The beach was full of jelly fish, could easily come up to millions of them!!!
11th March- Ladies Night:
Had a special lady night at Suez place =) It was a suprise from Sue ^-^ We get to be served and served others. I've got a very nice foot massage from Suez. Get to soak my foot in warm milk + some beautiful flowers, massaged with the special massage oil =p (em, I feel good lalalalalalala~~ i know that i do~~). Also, I did a facial service for Suez (it's my first time... that's a learning process=p)Suez is the victim =p.
12 March- Peggy's Visit & UQ Malaysian Student Association BBQ:
Get to meet Peggy, my high school fren today=) It was awesome! It's so good to meet up old frens and talk about the good old days!!!! Misses them so much!! ^O^
Also, went to the BBQ held by UQMSA in Roma Parkland. The bbq chicken taste super good *slurp slurp!* =p met lots of Malaysian & some non-malaysia =p
16 March- Body Pump + Body Jam:
Went for the free trial class of Body Pump(Weight Lifting) and Body Jam(dance). Body Pump was a horrid- No No!! Thinking to have some fun and get a taste of it, but it was too much of "fun". Guess i've got a high expectation on my self =p. It was a 1 hour class, and all of us (Joan, PeiYin, Elyssa, & I) was looking at the clock again and again. Hope that the clock will move faster....Conclusion: Body pump is a serious No No!! NO MORE BODY PUMP FOREVER!!
