I love this song from Justin Bieber. He is a cool kid and
I pray he will come to know Jesus soon. :)

Chasing Happiness Is No Fun!
Last Sunday I was so blessed enough to be able to watch Chingay 2011 here in Singapore... I was just along the road taking this pictures.
It's an annual float parade that brings in lots of fun and priceless moments.
It's breathtaking and the colours it shows you make you wana jump, dance
and celebrate life!
Its energy it brings is contagious!
Awesome right?
But guess what.
The excitement that I felt that day is just temporary.
It won't last. That's why you need to take pictures or videos to document
the event so one day, you will have something to smile about by just looking at the pictures/videos.
You see and I know that you know,
Happiness....comes and goes...
It doesn't last.
That's why people are trying so hard to tame it.
Me?
I've stopped chasing "happiness".
...because in this world, all I need is lasting joy.
Happiness comes from the word "happ-enings" ..
It depends on what's going on around you which are
unstable, shaky and temporary.
Joy comes from within.
Joy is lasting and consistent no matter what's happening around you.
No matter what your circumstances are.
I remember when my father and sister passed away,
My friends and colleagues seem to feel that I got this peace
and joy within me that they mistakenly praised me for being strong.
No. I wasn't strong. I knew that time, Jesus was lifting me up and filling my sorrow with unexplainable peace and joy...
I am smiling while typing this out..:)
I couldn't imagine myself getting out from that situation alone.
Jesus must have carried me all the way. ...just like the story of
"Footprints in the Sand."
Halleluyaaaah!
Mmmm. I just need to tell you this, wherever you are, and whatever it is that you're doing and still you end up empty ....
try Jesus...
Keep asking for His eternal peace and joy...
You need it in each of your waking life.. Promise..:)
Hope you enjoyed my photos..

Have a blessed day!

I am Forgiven. You are forgiven. Just believe.
My Daily Verse:
“This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us
and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.”

Blessed Is Everything That Comes Forth From You by Joseph Prince
Blessed Is Everything That Comes Forth From You by Joseph Prince
Deuteronomy 28:4
4Blessed shall be the fruit of your body…
The Bible records that Jesus’ spit healed a blind man (Mark 8:23–25), Peter’s shadow healed the sick (Acts 5:15), and handkerchiefs and aprons from Paul’s body drove out evil spirits and diseases. (Acts 19:11–12) This tells us that what comes forth from our bodies can be so blessed that it brings about blessings and miracles to others.
Indeed, God said, “Blessed shall be the fruit of your body…” He was not just referring to your children, or He would have simply said, “Blessed shall be your children.” No, God meant that everything that proceeds from your body will be blessed. All that is of and from your body will be of top-notch quality!
This includes your health. So even if your doctor has said that you have a particular medical condition in your body, just believe that God calls your health, the fruit of your body, blessed. And expect to walk continuously in divine health!
God calls your thinking ability, the fruit of your body, blessed too. You will impress your teachers and schoolmates in school with your mental prowess, or your superiors and colleagues at work with your innovative ideas and solutions. Your mental faculties will be of quality par excellence!
If you are married, you will enjoy a truly blessed marriage and a fulfilling sex life with your spouse. A secular song that laments, “I can’t get no satisfaction…” will never be true for you because God calls your marital relationship (both the emotional and physical parts of it), the fruit of your body, blessed!
If you are a parent, God calls your children, the fruit of your body, blessed. This means that they are special, having exceptional qualities. So the child you are taking care of is not just a child. You are holding a champion in your hands. He will grow up to be a general in God’s kingdom!
Beloved, because Jesus has paid the price — His body was beaten, scourged and pierced for you, all these blessings are yours. Blessed shall be the fruit of your body!

Proclamation Against Egypt in the Bible
Pastor Joseph Prince shared this Bible verse in the service yesterday.
Indeed,
The Bible has the future!
The burden against Egypt.
Behold, the LORD rides on a swift cloud,
And will come into Egypt;
The idols of Egypt will totter at His presence,
And the heart of Egypt will melt in its midst.
“ I will set Egyptians against Egyptians;
Everyone will fight against his brother,
And everyone against his neighbor,
City against city, kingdom against kingdom.
Isaiah 19:1-2
(New King James Version)
