Who am i
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

As I walked home from NTUC today, it started raining. I prayed to God to stop the rain, because He always holds up the clouds for me whenever I ask Him to. He didn't. But somewhere in my heart, there seemed to be a voice speaking to me. It said "Peace I leave with you, do not be discouraged, I have overcome the world". I asked what has it got to do with the rain. God then reminded me that peace is when you're walking in the rain and yet you are not worried, you are not afraid. And this peace comes from the Lord. The moment I reached home, it starting pouring very heavily. The rain I walked through was nothing compared to the after storm! God still did protect me from a raging weather, but gave me enough rain to teach me a valuable lesson. We all need God's peace, because our hearts tend to always be in a storm. God's peace calms the storm in our hearts. At this age, Im seeing alot of relationship failures. And it really pains me when I see a relationship that does not work out. Honestly speaking, Im also afraid when it comes to my turn. Girls, no matter how strong, are really vulnerable in a relationship. It is our greatest weakness. I feel like Ive fallen prey to it so many times...Yet, this week I had the best time with my best friend, my Lord! He would always be the one teaching me new things, helping me to see things from His perspective, granting me His peace and strength to face the new semester in school. Lord, You satisfy me. Being with You always edifies me. Singlehood is a gift from God, as much as marriage is a gift from God. Lord, I want to spend both seasons of my life wisely, serving You.

You know everything Lord
You know everything that's hidden
You know how much I would hurt
So You sent little surprises everyday
To make me happy
The journey here has been long
And as I learnt to love much like You
Ive also begun to hurt much with You
And share in Your grief
It was never mine in the first place
Everything was given by You
Whether You give and take away
I'll still choose to praise You
You are my strength
You are my refuge
You are my comforter
You are my healer
If I could choose all over again
I would still choose to have known you
And be your friend
So Im letting go today....

Last week, my youngest brother, Tim, and I had a little conversation which goes like this:Tim: Jie, I wished I had a twin...Me: Ya, Jie Jie also wished I had a twin. Maybe she's somewhere in China now...(I paused and then continued)Me: But Tim, if you have a twin, it wouldnt be good eh. If he can play badminton better than you, study better than you, swim faster than you, then everyone will compare you with him and want to be his friend instead. (Tim kept quiet for awhile and seemed to ponder on what I said. Then he replied.)Tim: No eh... I will be very proudddd of him... Wow... His innocent reply struck me. My little brother has such a big big heart. He's always so happy when others do well. He's always so proud of his friends' talents. It's just how my bestest friend, Jesus, would feel about me too. He's so proud of me whenever I do anything well, anything kind, anything that pleases His heart. He's just so excited to watch us succeed! So madly in love with each of us...That's my Lord.
