Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth
Would care to know my name
Would care to feel my hurt
Who am I, that the bright and morning Star
Would choose to light the way
For my ever wandering heart
Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are
I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours, I am Yours
Who Am I, that the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love
and watch me rise again
Who Am I, that the voice that calmed the sea
Would call out through the rain
And calm the storm in me
whom shall i fear
whom shall i fear
i am yours
About me
Elizabeth Thia

Just came back from Leaders' Retreat! Thank God that even though Im not a leader this year, I got to go for this. It was meant for the adults, but they invited the youth leaders this year too. Retreat was at Sofitel Palm Resort in Malaysia. The company there really made everything so enjoyable. We had many memorable events as well. For example, shu and I locked our keys in our room on the first day of our arrival, when we specifically told ourselves to remember to bring the keys out of the room!
There was this stretch of linen on our beds, so we started to play around with it. Shu acting as a beggar!
Im a wushu warrior
That's the emperor scroll! Shu's face is really funny! haha
Kahwan and I. He was seen suspiciously lottering along the corridor because he wanted to take a picture with us, but didnt dare to ask
Ching Yee and I enjoyed talking about boys. This bedroom picture looks a litte wrong
We took lots of bedroom pictures! I like this picture, ahha The Youth leaders! Any event with Shu around is always fun! We were having seafood dinner. Geraldine and Wanhui. Geraldine never fails to make me laugh man. See the joy and laughter at our table! Guess what made us all laugh so badly? Haha, Chingyee said she wanted to be a nun. Then, it led to the topic of eunuchs and what gets castrated out of their body. Thank God I dont have to be a eunuch. Gene is back from China!!!! Im so so so SOO happy to see him man!! Really missed his funny facial expresions and hearing him call me "Ezaburf". That's his cap from China. Had uncles driving us home after the retreat. It's always exciting when your friends drive you home. This is my first time being driven by Joel. Although he doesn't say it, but we all knew he enjoyed driving us around (when guys drive girls around, it makes them feel a little more man) hehe, i look like a secondary school girl man. And I don't want to grow up so fast! noOoOO!!
If ever I leave for Australia, how will I be able to leave all these friends? Too used to seeing them every week. Too used to hearing their laughter and voices. Too used to them calling me "bird". Too used to doing stupid things together. Too used to all of them... Nevermind! I shall not worry about anything now :)

My grandma and Uncle Remus (Joel's dad) have been hospitalised. Yesterday, I went to Tan Tock Seng to visit them. No one in hospital looks good. Uncle Remus looks so sunken and weak, so different from the tall, strong and big-built uncle I know when I was young. Apparently, he has tuberculosis and lung infection, and the doctors don't even know what's the main problem yet. My grandma has dengue fever for the second time and her skin has so many red blood-shot marks because the doctors have been drawing out blood for testing. I hope I dont have to visit the hospital again...
"Dear Lord, let your peace be with Uncle Remus, Joel and ah ma. Like the blanket that covers them at night, you are their refuge and fortress and the shelter in the midst of the loneliness. Lord, I pray that you will sustain their health and heal them of their pain. Help the doctors to diagnose Uncle Remus condition accurately and strengthen Joel even as he takes care of studies, home and dad at this moment. Amen"

Its brand new and comes with a 1 year warrenty too!! Seriously, i dont know what he's talking about man. But you can always trust Joel to sell you high-quality equipment because he's very hardworking, trustworthy, reliable and honest.

I never thought that i will be studying in polytechnic, but i did I never thought that i will hit the age of 20 and beyond, but i did I never thought that i will be a christian, but i am I never thought that i will love God till the point of no return, but i have I never thought that i will have a little brother at the age of 12, but i have I never thought that i will go to a bible school, but i did I never thought that i will have close friends who are so unlike me, but somehow i have
When I was young, the future seems predictable. Going to JC seems like the route for my whole triple science class. I never thought that I will enter bible school or a polytechnic on the day I decided to quit JC. And now, Im faced with awe and fear at the uncertainty of my future. If this year I go overseas to study, there will be many people I will be unwilling to leave. Seriously, Im a mama's girl. I still need my parents!!! Yet, I was the one who suggested going overseas. I dont know what Im talking about man.
Suddenly, I feel the reality of going overseas hitting me. I never bother much about it. But now I want to spend as much time as possible with those I love and enjoy the Singapore climate and plants and culture before I leave. I want to see my sec3 boys and girls growing up, I want to be there when they have problems or when they want to share their joy.

There's a verse in the bible which says this: "It will be a shelter and shade from the heat of the day, and a refuge and hiding place from the storm and rain" Isaiah 4:6. Recently, this verse became true... when I found a whole ants colony living inside the bible that I read every night!!! Indeed, it was a shelter and shade for them, away from the constant storm and rain. Like the saying goes- the most dangerous place is the safest place. For 3 years I've been reading that bible and never once thought that there was an ants colony inside. No wonder recently I've been having alot of bites on my body. So that fateful night while I was reading the bible, I saw 2 red ants crawling on the page and had a hunch that perhaps there might be more. So I knocked the bible on the floor. First knock, nothing came out. I ruffled the bible pages and knocked the bible on the floor again.... so many red ants dotted the floor, their whites eggs and everything. And its not like they were living in a secluded corner of the bible, they were living between the hardcover and the cover page, but I always never flipped open those pages. Ha, but that was an interesting encounter and made me realise that God takes care of the ants living there too, just that they were starting to bite me, so He had to exterminate them.

This is my FIRST entry for 2008! Felt like God is challenging me this year to draw even nearer to Him. So I made a covenant with Him for the year, but already feel challenges and distractions setting in. I told God that this year I do not want to get into any relationships. I want to consecrate this year solely to Him. Lord, this important year where I turn 20, do whatever you want to make me more like you. A little kinder, a little more compassionate, a little less selfish, a little more loving...... a little more in love with You.
"Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; Trust also in Me" John 14:1. Such a simple verse, but it just struck me one day when I was feeling so troubled. If God says "do not" let your hearts be troubled, it means we can really overcome our hearts from being troubled. How? TRUST HIM! He knows best what He's doing.
Stream of Praise- Lift my eyes up to the Lord
我要向高山舉目 我的幫助從何來 我的幫助從造天地的耶和華而來
哈利路亞
I like this cute children's song! Seems like at the start of the year, God is already preparing me for problems that may come.
We took lots of bedroom pictures! I like this picture, ahha
hehe, i look like a secondary school girl man. And I don't want to grow up so fast! noOoOO!!
