Fasting lunch and dinner for the very first time yesterday was a whole new experience for me. It was so challenging because many temptations will come your way to fulfill the desires of your flesh, like what they say: the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak.
Throughout the week fasting lunch until yesterday with dinner,
I begin to see things that I once was blinded,
all those minute little things in life that I myself sometimes have overlooked and took for granted. So much so that I soon realize and learn to appreciate more of my surroundings and people around me.
Other than that,
Dying to the flesh and not letting temptation in even though I was hungry and tired physically and mentally, those times is where I needed God most, His strength had taught me perseverance to move on. The best part of all these: is to be in tune with God once again.
He's there cheering me on all the way.

In Your Presence
Updates on fasting:
- Fasting Facebook and Twitter changed and helped me see how much more time I could spend with those precious time wasted (I do still check once a week, or more if I need to check on my family updates, important news and friends)
- Fasting lunch for the past few days (started on Monday) is not easy especially when sports is involved (so tiring!)
- but it has disciplined me to eat proper meal so far during dinner and breakfast
- drawing closer and closer into Him
Even though it wasn't easy because trials and challenges will come with it, but without them we can't depend and draw ourselves nearer to Him.
Things to Thank God for today!
- Caryn finally received her package!
- Snow!!
It wasn't supposed to but with the unpredictable weather taadaaa~!
- the SUN!! *it's a beautiful day*
- Presentation went well!!
THANK YOU LORD!! I was so nervous with my group mates but everything went smoothly!! ALL PRAISES AND GLORY TO YOU ALONE LORD!!!
Hmm,
Things to add, I really really Thank God for allowing me to feel and rest in His presence once again, I'm beginning and relearning to submit and to fully surrender unto Him all my problems because He is in control. It's time to move on in every situation.

Mission in Disguise
I'm back from my very first mission trip in my life!
Even tough it was just two days one night trip,
God have revealed so much to me even at the beginning of the journey to Birmingham.
So we traveled to Birmingham, Don caster(for the night), Newcastle/Sunderland and Leeds. I don't know why ever since I came back from my Taiwan trip, I picked up motion sickness and since then I had to suffer every long journey on the roads and sometimes in a shaky flight.
But I really Thank God on how He revealed so much that I myself didn't realize that I have been blinded and I'm beginning to see my full purpose of being here. Everything starts to click and I am beginning to see the connection and the vision that I have once questioned.
After being so encouraged, refilled, rejuvenated and re-connected back to God,
I decided to challenge myself even more by fasting lunch starting tomorrow and full fast on every Fridays and Saturdays. I know it is not going to be easy but with God and His sufficient grace, mercy and never ending strength, I should suffice until the end of March.
Thank You once again for the full 'rest' that You have given me.

MarchIn
Loving the sunny days..
Except today was a lil bit dark without the sun,
but I had fun playing netball outdoor today!
Sprained me right finger after for so long!*swelling*
But it is worth it! I get to try so many different positions and realize that I'm actually okay with attacking as well, not only defending *smiles*
Also!
I finally cooked after for so long!
Just simple noodles with an egg, mushrooms and bacon,
surprisingly it wasn't bad *pats on own shoulder*
So I decided to eat healthy and cook more often and not replace snacks as my main meals starting today! Shall not store up chocolates and biscuits anymore but real food..
Something interesting that I found out today:
- cucumbers have negative calories!
Meaning it has got no calories but burn more calories! *light bulb*
Okay okay,
Sorry for not updating for so long,
I have fun in bible study today, though today was more on the catching up and fellowship-ing side, not forgetting feasting as well! Thank You Lord!
