Nothing can beat that!!

I was on my way home from uni today and suddenly remembered a song from Barney..that goes..

I like to eat, eat, eat, apples and bananas (3x)

Cause it's good for you

And it's good for me!

I was singing it and my lil' sis reminded me of a song we used to sing in Sunday school.. that goes..

I love bananas,

I know that mangoes are sweet,

I like papayas,

but nothing can beat that sweet..MMmmmMm..

That sweet... love of God!!!

It's so true! Nothing can beat the sweet love that God has for you and me!! Amazing-ness!! :D

I decided to change the lyrics of the song a lil' because I don't really like papayas and bananas.. so here's my personalized version..haha..

I like gu-a-vas

I know that mangoes are sweet,

I like cikus,

but nothing can beat that sweet..MMmmMMm

That sweet..love of God!!!

Here's the links i found in Youtube just to let you know how the songs sounds like

:: UPDATE ::

I know...I've been away for sometime and that's thanks to my final semester's work load.

I can't believe my final semester will be ending real soon!!

The last day of my exam will be on 8th May 2010 and then I'm FREEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

So many things happened the past few months and I can't recall everything..I actually can't really remember what happened.. :(

When I have the time, I will sit down and jot down everything and update it here. :)

EASTER is coming and it's going to be a very memorable and meaningful Easter for me.

I went through the 7 stations of the cross (The whole journey Jesus took till the cross) in church on Thursday, 25th March 2010 and it was a very meaningful and wonderful experience for me. I'm loving Jesus more and more and more and moreeeeeeeeeeee and I will never stop loving Him.

Here's the lyrics of a song that explains it all..

At the cross

Verse 1
Oh Lord You've searched me
You know my ways
Even when I fail You
I know You love me

Your holy presence
Surrounding me
In every season
I know You love me
I know You love me

Chorus
At the cross I bow my knee
Where Your blood was shed for me
There's no greater love than this
You have overcome the grave
Your Glory fills the highest place
What can separate me now?

Verse 2
You go before me
You shield my way
Your hand upholds me
I know You love me

Chorus
At the cross I bow my knee
Where Your blood was shed for me
There's no greater love than this
You have overcome the grave
Your Glory fills the highest place
What can separate me now (x2)

You tore the veil
You made a way
When You said that it is done (x2)

Verse 3
And when the earth fades
falls from my eyes
You stand before me
I know You love me
I know You love me

Chorus
At the cross I bow my knee
Where Your blood was shed for me
There's no greater love than this
You have overcome the grave
Glory fills the highest place
What can separate me now (x2)

You tore the veil
You made a way
When You said that it is done (x4)

I love you Jesus,

Yvonne Joan

God has His timing.

I really do believe that God has His own timing for everything.

One interesting thing this week that showed God's timing was meeting up with Christon (a friend from my cell group, Hearts United). He's leaving back to Perak this Friday to continue his studies after his 6months internship here in KL, so Rachel and I decided to meet him on Wednesday before he leaves.

The interesting thing was, that my cell had a last minute plan to have a farewell dinner for Christon on Thursday. I only read the e-mail about it Thursday afternoon. Coincidentally,Chel and I had to go to church for praise and worship practice. We could have decided to see him on Thursday, but somehow felt that we should see him on Wednesday.

So, God HAS his own timing for everything.haha.. Everything happens for a reason. So when sometimes, things don't happen, do not worry because God is ALWAYS in control. :)



Love,

First Month 2010

I hope it's not too late to wish everyone.. a BLESSED NEW YEAR!!!

I've been wanting to post something up, but I just did not get the time to. I just saw my chat box a lil' while ago and Christon requested me to post something..so here goes..haha..

Well, for now, just a short summary of what has been happening :)

Since stepping into 2010, it has been great. 2009 was a year of expanding my capacity in many ways, having to do things beyond what I thought I could handle (my capacity did expand with God's help of course). I thank God for 2009 and I'm excited for 2010. Aren't you?

2010 will be a year of growing in depth. Growing deeper spiritually especially and also in other aspects.

After new year, I have been just spending time at home, watching korean drama's(Got hooked to it thanks to my cousin Janice. I actually finished watching 2 korean drama series in just 3days). Besides that, I tried my very best to start doing my Final Year Project(FYP a.k.a thesis) and I manage to do some, THANK GOD.

One of the best things that I went for before class started this Monday(18/1/10) was ATONE retreat!!! For those who do not know what ATONE is, it is actually the name of the Praise & Worship Ministry in church.

I joined ATONE last year, and this was my first retreat. It was held at Serenity, Bentong, Pahang. I had lots of fun with all the ATONE members!!! Ate a lot (food was yummylicious :P), learned how to play the new Monopoly card game (once you know how to play, it's addictive and it's really fun), played Mafia ( the werewolf version, it was really fun seeing everyone being so defensive and detective-ish), had a good time worshiping, listening to Ps.Lee choo on the direction of ATONE this year, listening to all the sub-departments, fun-purpose-games, chatting and just having a good time.

The scenery was breathtaking and I actually got to see peacocks (I wasthiscloseto a peacock!!), turkeys, chickens, gooses, guinea pigs, rabbits, peasants, love birds. Cut the story short, it was such a fun retreat!! :)

Classes started on Monday and I'm actually happy with my timetable and also the lecturers so far. God is good.

Before I sign off, here are some pictures from the ATONE retreat (taken with my faithful sonyericsson phone).

*Spot the hidden ATONE :D

Nitey nite and sweet dreams. :)

Signing off,

Nose.

I'm so tired now.

Out the whole day with my family.

Church then Midvalley.

Went to Midvalley for the education fair and for some Christmas shopping. Didn't do much of Christmas shopping though.

This was what happened. See picture below.

We pierced our noses!!! Chel wanted to pierce her nose one year ago and since she doesn't have to go back to school anymore, she can finally pierce her nose. I followed her and ended up piercing mine too.

It did hurt a lil'. It hurt more when I sneezed!! I still can't believe I actually did it, but i like it!!

Chel was falling asleep..poor girl was so tired. She looks nice with the piercing. :)

Tadaaaa!! xD

Off to bed,
