Faith Even On A Rainy Day

A Full Cup of Happiness

Coming back from holidays I have been careful not to drink too much coffee. Reason being that I need sleep. During the holiday my body was in overdrive - lots of walking & activities during the day on little sleep recharge at night. Now my body clock is confused. It sleeps late yet wakes up before the birds.

So I looked for something to substitue the daily caffine fix, especially with the weather being so chilly. Nothing like a hot cuppa to warm up the belly (and hands and nose hehe).

Introducing my new morning routine: vanilla scented chai milk tea. Have to say that I am in love with this drink. Weird. Never been a fan until recently...

I chose Twinings' light flavoured chai as I wasn't confident about spicy tea. So far, every cup of vanilla chai milk tea has been sheer enjoyment. This morning I dunked three Monte Carlo in the drink then went back for more biccies to dunk with! Talk about finding a happy place - tea infused snack!

Good stuff ought to be shared with good friends.

Drink me chai :)

Having a bad day? I was!

My carpool buddy, Miss K, was feeling tired and exhausted this morning from a lack of asleep. I on the other hand was feeling deflated about work and other issues. Hehe. Imagine being in the same car with two moody ladies!

As we shared with one another our cross, Miss K was reminded of something which refreshed our noisy souls. She'd heard from a female speaker that if we were to ever feel moody and forecast a bad day ahead, stop and think that God was the planner of that day (and all that will happen)!

So a practical lesson here for me: bring the day under His Lordship (Jim Berg) and have a good time :)

"This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it." Psalms 118:24

Every day is worth rejoicing over because it is a day that God has made ^^

"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you and expected end. Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. And I will be found of you, saith the LORD: and I will turn away your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places whither I have driven you, saith the LORD; and I will bring you again into the place whence I caused you to be carried away captive" Jeremiah 29:11-14

3:16 am

I am career mapping,

Action planning,

Performance assessing.

Uninspired,

Brain juice dried up,

Eyelids are falling heavy.

*zzz*

Wake up!

Back to work,

Tomorrow's freedom awaits.

*pours another coffee*

My dear sleepy friends.

Cheers.

Life Update [photos]

*whoosh whoosh*

Cleaning away blog dust :)

It’s been a while since I posted some proper photos on my blog, which reminds me how many things have happened in my life in the first month of 2012.

Some of you may already know, I'm finally a home owner! Thank God for the whole journey and a smooth settlement finish. Got the keys two weeks ago so begins the wait to move in. In the mean while I'm keeping busy with Cert IV studies for work and bible in a year.

This year I am using the The Daily Walk Bible to do Bible in a year. I also downloaded the Glo Bible App which is a great little tool. The Media Lens on the app is my favourite, it sometimes has maps, virtual tours videos, artwork and photos related to a particular Bible passage. I really enjoyed browsing the virtual tour on the Israelite camp in the wilderness as described in the book of Exodus. Unfortunately the version I have is the lite version so not all the materials are available :)

Anyway, some photos from my January 2012.

Outdoor Picnic & studying
Beautiful weather & great company

Homeware window shopping
How many items have I bought thus far?

~ZERO~

Keeping a little resolution to not shop on impulse

But how cute is this mug right!

On the topic of impulse, which is an emotion, Miss K and I have been going through a sermon series on Biblical Emotions by Brian Borgman (GCC). This series consists of 20 sermons and four categories: Biblical Foundations, Sanctification & Our Emotions, Mortifying Ungodly Emotions, and Cultivating Godly Emotions. I'll write a separate blog entry next time and post some of my notes for your reference. If you'd like to get started on listening to the sermons, the link is here.
