Psalms 139:16

I get caught in the act. In the act, the routine of going to church. reading the Bible. praying. And failing to realize that yes, God is God. But He is a God who is near. He is the living God. He is GOD, mighty and "His greatness no one can fathom". I miss the point sometimes. I fail to see the characteristics of God. [8-9a] "The Lord is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and rich in love. The Lord is good to all" I forget that He is my best Friend. He is my Heavenly Father, the One that I love. He is my Savior. He is my Lord, my King. Because you see, when I fail to see His goodness and His mercy and His love towards me, I fail to respond. When I forget His character and His love, I forget to see that I have a response to that amazing love. Because, we were not called to be mere church-goers. or mere namesake " christians ". We were called to be ambassadors. Called to become part of God's everlasting kingdom. [13] Called to share to the ent...

Its been five years since I got baptized! I was 16 at the time and got baptized because I made a choice. I made a choice that I would live COMPLETELY, FULLY DEVOTED to God. So tonight I was listening to None But Jesus from Hillsong. ... When You call I won't refuse Each new day again I'll choose There is no one else of me None but Jesus Crucified to set me free Now I live to bring Him praise. ... And it hit me. My Christian walk is living out my commitment to Jesus. Every day, you and I have a choice to make and that is this: are we going to live this day for God? Am I going to walk and talk like Jesus Christ is in me? Medical school isn't only about the constant studying, its largely about if I am living out Christ's purpose for my life on a day to day basis. Simply put, is God's nature being revealed in my life? Everyday, I have a choice to make. Will I walk with God this day? Will I completely, entirely devote my day, my time, my talents, my speech, my behavio...

I held for the very first time a heart. A human heart, though no longer beating, once gave a person life. The heart, it's a beautiful thing, a significant thing. And if the organ your heart is such an important aspect of your life. Doesn't that which is contained in the heart, not anatomically speaking, matter a great deal as well? The happiness and the burdens and the worries that are all contained in this organ are important both for the well-being of the physical body and for the development of the spiritual man. That's why the great and wise King Solomon says in the Proverbs "Guard your heart". This is what I think this means: One, I don't fret about the obstacles in my day. Maybe, today didn't go as I wanted it to. But I'm going to pray and have faith that God is going to give me a better tomorrow. Two, I'm going to leave my burdens at the throne room of God. My heart is only this big, my hands are only this strong. But God has mighty arms th...

I had my first exam today. and this morning I could hardly walk. I woke up early and by about 7am, I felt really lightheaded, nauseous , and weak..I suspect a combination of stress, anxiety and a chicken salad sandwich I ate yesterday night lead to the episode. So instead of studying for the exam this morning, I spend the hours before the exam drinking tea and taking it slow. By God's grace.. By God's amazing grace, I was able to take the exam. and may it be for the glory of God... I think I'm a calm composed person. I usually have it all together and I don't usually get stressed out, but yesterday night was a different story. And I thought I'd share what God spoke to me throughout this week and especially yesterday night-- Joshua 1:9 "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid nor be dismayed, for the Lord you God is with you wherever you go". Read Joshua 1: 2-9. Whatever struggles you are going through, God is with you , ...

Weekends suck. Weekends make me miss home the most. =(( But anyways, focusing on the positivies again... aw, I can't think of one now. =( I'm hungry. I missed a question on the quiz. And I have to study... Haha, ok. For those of you who actually read this. Thanks for listening. I do have something to look forward to, my brother will be coming to visit me this weekend!! and that makes me happy. =) Have a blessed weekend. Spend it with the people who matter THE MOST to you this weekend. Oh and yes, I can forsee me writing a "weekends suck" entry.....every Friday night from now on. Oh the joy.......... Sheba =)

There is a story in Psalms (Ps. 73) that seems like mine some days. Its about an invidual who looks around and sees a world in which the wicked gets rewarded. Those who don't deserved it, get it. A world similar to one you and I live in. Psalms 73:16 "When I thought how to understand this, it was too painful for me. [17] Until I went into the stactuary of God..." All it takes is going to God.. to understand that He is in control of our lives. Maybe its not about what is happening to so and so, maybe it's about us. Ps. 73:28 - But it is good for me to draw near to God; I have put my trust in the Lord God, that I may declare all Your works. I have a quiz tomorrow. Please pray. Thank you n Good night, Sheba

I might sound extremely juvenile when I confess that I miss my parents SO much right now. I went home this weekend but came back early because I have a lot of studying to get done. But I miss them. And they just left about 5 minutes ago. =/ ..this is going to be a long week.

Its one of those days, when the mirror stares blankly back at you, the feel to life is wrong, and time is not something you have. One of those days that I wish has a redo button. Maybe even a pause-lets-go-back-to-1-month-ago button, when I was sitting on my bum wishing my time away, surrounded by my family. Today, time is something that escapes me at every side and family is far. I came home after a whole day of class. Exhasted. Lonely. And I gance up to a poster I have hanging on my wall. Its a "who am I" poster that lists all the titles that I have and am in Christ Jesus. My Favorite? "I am a child of God...doing all things through Christ who gives me strength.." Some days I don't know who I am. i don't know where I fit in. I don't know what I'm doing here. When I don't have a clear definition of who and what, I know that I am a child of God. When I don't know how the world percives me, I do know how God sees me- I am His child. and He lo...

So I went home this weekend and got to attend church. And Pastor was talking about 3 promises that God gives His children. Now, if promise you something, I might not fulfill that promise. But when Jesus promises us something, we can be assured that He will fulfill that promise. So three promises that God promises us are... (1) Hebrews 13:5b "[Jesus said] I will never leave you nor forsake you." We are promised that God will never leave us. My parents are my closest friends. But their presence with me is limited. If I need something, my siblings or parents might not be there for me. My friends might not be there when I need them. But I know that God is always with me. There is not a time that you cannot approach the throne room of God. Whatever you are facing in your life, at this hour, He is there. He is there in that apartment, that room, where ever you are, to hold you and comfort you and give you deliverance from your pain or burden. (2) Hebrews 13:8 "Jesus Christ is ...
