Spring have arrived beautifully.

I used to see people dressed in thick coats and mufflers. Now, they are in T-shirts and berms and short mini skirts.

It is refreshing though. Coming back from Spring break made me saw a different Mannheim. One that is more cheerful and joyous.

There are some things God is showing me about myself recently.

1) I am a perfectionist. And when I am not careful about it, I can anger people rather easily.

2) I can be rather hard on myself. Sometimes, I clearly know it is not my fault, but I keep thinking it is my fault and feel bad about it and become emo.

3) I was very adventurous and book a overnight bus from Berlin to Amsterdam ALONE, in the end i got scolded by 2 people and I decided to take a train instead.

I realized God is very graceful and gracious. He knows that I am young and bound to make mistakes, so He allows me to learn. He also send people in my life to protect me fiercely. And I thank God for them.

I have taken some time to listen to the online sermons. I call them webcasts.

and somehow really, i feel that the entire spiritual atmosphere in fcbc is changing. there is something new and glorious, ready to burst out. A new level of faith i think. and somehow suddenly, i look forward to go back to church.

Faith is acting on the person of God.
- Everything I do must be on the basis that God exists. I pray that God will teach me even in exchange, to be generous, to love my neighbours.

Faith is acting on the power of God
-God's world is a world of supernatural, of seeing the invisible, of a reality greater than that.
- We are operating things in a natural world, but be driven by the reality of the supernatural
- so that we will not work by logic, but by faith, tapping on the supernatural
- do not be block by the successes, but grow ten times more than that. YOU DO NOT RETURN TO WHERE YOU ARE, YOU GO BEYOND TT.
- I sense from the holy spirit that i am often hindered by a series of success and high faith journeys that i went through w God before, and i sense that the holy spirit telling me I need to go beyond this. all these are not enough. its sin to think that it is enough.

Faith is acting on the purpose of God
- who you marry, what you do, the school tt you are in, are shaped by the dream. seeing this dream in your heart: faith. :)

For those who do not know, my mum and aunt came over last last Friday to spend Easter with me. It is really a blessing to my heart because I really miss my mum a lot. And sometimes, it takes for you to be away from home, to know how much nothing really beats home. I wish I could hide in her luggage to go back Singapore hoho.

Her coming was also a gift from the Lord, to allow me to know this good Friday, that He died for me and still loves me a lot. And in this year of transformation where all of you back home are so busy with so many things, I sense that the Lord also brought me to Germany because He knows my heart.

If I was going to continue to stay in Singapore, I would have been very pressurized by exams and church and friends. So it was really good for me to be away from all these. My mum says I am a much happier person too. But I know if I am not careful enough, I could be easily away from God as well. because people believe that it is lonely overseas, but exchange is different, you are busy constantly and almost every day. it is not easy to grow in the Lord.

We went to Ireland and Scotland. It was beautiful really.

DELIRIOUS MY SOUL SINGS
Open my eyes to see
The wonderful mystery of love
Falling into you
I’m drawn to the gravity of love

We’re standing still in a moment of eternity
Where worlds collide and I feel the breath of heaven over me

My soul sings x3
How I love you / oh I love you

Open the page and see
The wonderful history of love
I start and end with you
I’m pulled to the gravity of love

This was a beautiful song that we played over and over again as we drove through Scotland,the place where Delirious wrote this song


Will upload the photos soon! off to Barcelona.
