tankfully thankful...

Guess what?! I bet you don't know. If you knew, you won't be guessing!

First, I'm gonna change my blogskin... Had it all designed and feedback's pretty positive. J'adore le design! :) Nonetheless, I'm still...still trying to figure out the HTML for it and the past few days have been busy, which I don't know why either! :)

Second, please pray for me!! Gonna go embassy tmr to do the visa application. YES, I should be sleeping! and YES, it's freaking late to even apply like now? when I'm leaving in erm, 3 weeks' time. Can't put into words how I'm feeling- a good mix of excitement, apprehension, expectation.

Third, the CHRISTmas production by RADI-8 was AWESOME!!! I really could feel that God was smiling from above :) Man, I'm sure He was pleased with Radi-8's birthday present to Him! :P Right, Jesus?!?! :p

During worship today, somehow there seemed to be this revelation which touched my heart deeply: When Adam and Eve sinner, the glory and beauty were stolen. And the world was thrown into death by sin. Yet, God knew better and heaven was expecting the glory of a Messiah. Could you imagine, a hope that was tested and tried for thousands of years and when it was materialised by the birth of an infant baby, how the angels sang?!?!?!?! They had all been looking forward to God's redemptive plan for mankind!!!! They rejoice in the wisdom, love and power of God! WOW! :)

That was the first coming of Jesus...

Then I felt there was more than that... it seemed like, HEY, we're like in the same expectancy, waiting for the return of that glory. Today, the world seems so messy, hopeless and meaningless. Yet, in every believer we have been birthed a hope for a future that is glorious with our dear Jesus.. ;) That hope, is the same hope as it was before Jesus was born!

I'm really glad...that during worship, I learn so much about God :) feeling so close to Him...though there are some issues I'm still struggling, and often fall to condemnation, feeling that I really don't love God enough, I really never regret deciding to know and follow Jesus.

I will never forget this gift that God has given me - dear dear JESUS, as my birthday gift last year. (anyway surprisingly, even before I prayed the sinners' prayer I started to blog about God already ahha! )

Before I ramble on and suffer from a lack of sleep and rest, I bid my goodbyes!

Expect God for the impossible!!
