Desiring God
That look in your eyes is all that I need.
This world could offer anything, but they can keep it all
Because You, God, are the only one for me.
Eunice.
Job 11:13-19
Yet if you devote your heart to him and stretch out your hands to him, if you put away th sin that is in your hand and allow no evil to dwell in your tent, then you will lift up your face without shame; you will stand firm and without fear. You will surely forget your trouble, recalling it only as waters gone by. Life will be brighter than noonday, and darkness will become like morning. You will be secure, because there is hope; you will look about you and take your rest in safety. You will lie down, with no one to make you afraid, and many will court your favor.
Psalm 62:8
Trust in Him at all times, pour out your hearts before Him;
God is a refuge for us.
Heart’s Desire
The fear of the Lord encompasses the love of what God loves as well as to hate what He hates. What’s important to Him becomes important to us, and what is not so important to Him is not so important to us. We make His priorities and desires, our own. The manifestation of the fear of the Lord is unwavering obedience to the desires and will of God.
We can know the talk, but do we know the Voice? We know the acts, but do we know His ways? We know what He said, but do we know what He is saying?
Titus 2:11-14
For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, while we wait for the blessed hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good.
God is passionate about His relationship with those who love Him as He has loved them. We are unable to try and hold onto both the things of the world and the things of God, our self desires and God’s desires.
Even Paul wrote, “But whatever were gains to me I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ – the righteousness that comes from God on the basis of faith.” (Phil 3:7-9)
For He is a God who is passionate about His relationship with you. He bought you with a high price. So, don’t just know all that were told and said. Don’t be enslaved by the world. But make what is important to Him becomes important to you, and what is not so important to Him is not so important to you. And make His priorities and desires, your own! I desire a life of intimacy with God! Do you? :)

Read:
“The chief end of man is to glorify God and enjoy him forever. That is part of God’s order that he established in creation. It is the purpose for which man was created; this is the principial will of God, even if it is also equally true that God ordained sovereignly that the reprobate would not live up to their purpose.” – The Westminster Confession of Faith
This is uber good. Like seriously.
Write Love
It’s taking place friday, November 12, 2010. To take part, simply write, “Love” on your arm.
To Write Love on Her Arms is a non-profit movement dedicated to presenting hope and finding help for people struggling with depression, addiction, self-injury and suicide. TWLOHA exists to encourage, inform, inspire and also to invest directly into treatment and recovery. (http://www.twloha.com/)
I heard TWLOHA was scamming people. But well, it doesn’t hurt to write something on your arm does it? And I question us as people are we writing love in people’s hearts today?
3. MORE. DAYS. TO. ASSESSMENTS. ENCOURAGE. ME. PLS. VERY. MUCH. APPRECIATED.
I’m heading nut head with work. Brought every single work home, with a paper bag full of films. Good works, one great passionate heart, needs to believe and do her best. And I finally understood the meaning of what you like yet what’s your specialty. I found it, took me awhile to realize.
GO EUNY! DON’T WORRY ABOUT ANYTHING, BUT PRAY ABOUT EVERYTHING!

Chords Of Everyday
Some say music is like words the heart can’t express. (more…)
Faith
Mainstay’s and Anberlin’s songs have been ringing and ringing. Reminded me of those days. Too, I picked up a book from the shelves to read. Inside I found a bookmark, a flipped open bookmark, a self made one. It is still in a neat shape, the transparent wrapping I gave it as well. It wrote “Faith”. Inside it wrote “Job, a man of faith.” It carried on by mentioning Job, a man who experienced more pain and loss than many of us ever will be called to face. But Job constantly reminded himself who was in charge. God is, even in this. No matter what life brings, I’ll press on. 100% faith.
God, maybe that’s why I was strong back then,
Despite all that had happened over the year, I’ll be made stronger in You.
Eunice.
Take Me All The Way
The Motions
‘Cause just ok is not enough
Help me fight through the nothingness of life.
All The Broken Pieces
God can place all our broken pieces back together. Yes, Matthew West’s songs are playing now. Okay. Shan’t say much anymore tonight. Know He loves us, God loves us. Believe it.

Re-Calling
Look at how neat my table was earlier last year. All before school started. And notebook was my best friend. Of course God beats notebook hands down, though I talk to Him through notebook too. Note to self: Back to the notebook. (Ps. Notebook is not my macbook. It’s the traditional written and pen down notebook.)
I was searching through my old Cds looking for photos for my final work. Till, stumbled upon.
Recalling, recalling, flashbacks, thoughts, God moments..

In This Instant Society
Jian Yao: “You like oil painting?”
Me: “Yeah. It’s different from Acrylic.”
Jian Yao: “Acrylic dries too fast.”
Me: “Painting oil, there’s more space. Freedom and control to paint.”
And this taught me even more how I should not be instant in an instant society.

Grace To Pull Through
Each time He said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me. That’s why I take pleasure in my weaknesses, and in the insults, hardships, persecutions, and troubles that I suffer for Christ. For when I am weak, then I am strong. (2 Corinthians 12:9-10)
—
But I will rescue you on that day, declares th Lord; you will NOT be handed over to those you fear. I will save you, you will NOT fall by th sword but will escape with your life, because you trust in Me, declares th Lord. (Jeremiah 39:17-18)
Let us draw near to God with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for He who promised is faithful. (Hebrews 10:22-23)
You are there when I am down and out – You’re holding me, Your love is so amazing. God, You’ve changed me. Even though I don’t deserve Your love, You look beyond my fault and You showed me mercy. How can I ever thank You enough?
God, it’s not over, it’s not th end. When doubt is strong and my will is weak to even believe again –
Let Your grace walk in.

I reblogged the same entries again. Words I used to say here just reminded me time from time again that I’m caught in His grip of grace, and I need not fear. When times are tough and things go wrong, when life gets difficult and we’re breaking down, God’s grace. God’s amazing grace. He is still there for me, He always is, beside me.
God has the best future planned for me.
And, I surrender all.

Love Song For A Savior
He’s more than the laughter or the stars in the heavens
As close a heartbeat or a song on our lips
Someday we’ll trust Him and learn how to see Him
Someday He’ll call us and we will come running
and fall in His arms and the tears will fall down and we’ll pray,I want to fall in love with You
It seems too easy to call you “Savior”,
Not close enough to call you “God”
So as I sit and think of words I can mention
to show my devotion.
My all time fav from Jars Of Clay, Love Song For A Savior. And I painted till it rained in the early morning night. Time to sleep eunice. It’s a great day ahead! God, teach me to have child-like faith. :)

Shelves of Bottles
“You wouldn’t know when. Someday, you’ll just need it.”
This is a bottle; a bottle filled with papers. It’s been a long while since I opened this, this birthday present bottle. (Wait, it’s a jar. I guess.) This was the latest, but one of the greatest unique gifts I’ve received for my birthday this year. Or was it a Christmas gift? Haha. Perhaps both. I’m not too sure since my dear friend mentioned before he doesn’t remember birthdays.
What are on those pieces of papers you might wonder. They are reminders of God’s love, words of encouragements, and maybe some random line that could just bring one a little smile. And who knows when you’ll need them? The thing is, they are always there, in that bottle. (I mean, jar.)
There are shelves of bottles, bottles that contain various things. Perhaps at times, we so happen to pick out the wrong bottle and get stuck in there. Perhaps at times, we just need to know which to pick out from the shelves and open them up. And at times like today, God just reminded me of the jar. (I got it right this time.)
“Your presence speaks louder than words, so just be here and stay with me.”
God, I thank You for Joey. :)
And every other that has always been there for me.

Every Ounce Of Courage
Do not be pressed by your problems,
Be led by your dreams.
Running through yesterday into tomorrow,
Don’t let it just drift away.
Forget about tying the hands of time,
Give every minute to the One who gave us today.

Flipped
“But no weapon that is formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue that shall rise against you in judgment you shall show to be in the wrong. This peace, righteousness, security, triumph over opposition is the heritage of the servants of the Lord; this is the righteousness or the vindication which they obtain from Me, says the Lord.” – Isaiah 54:17 (Amplified Bible)
I can’t help but think about the old conversation I had with a good old friend who rang up. Remembering those amazing God-moments and going all way out for Christ. It’s amazing how you’ve not talked to one in months, but felt as though you both talked just moments ago. And we’ll just talk about God, pray for each other and completely understood without much saying, and still encourages specifically one’s own unique way. And after that, all the other stuff comes in like school and life etc. :p
Flipping through written pages. It’s alright to look back, isn’t it?
Look back, when it is a good view. :)
“Eunice, no weapon formed against you shall prosper!”

A Series Of Unfortunate Events
I did not understood.
I did not knew why.
I did nearly switched off because of the state I was in.
But I prayed and pressed on,
I heard the Word,
I realized all that had been happening,
I started to knew why it happened out of the blue yesterday,
I recognized what was being done.
I chose to do otherwise,
I decided to get out from where I was.
I thought my mind and body was failing,
And that I could not.
But I jumped out of ‘limited zone’.
The headache was gone, and I found strength.
I heard what I desperately needed to hear for a long time.
The series of Unfortunate events turned out a Fortunate one.
Yes, just get rid of it.
Wrecked,
Euny.
What’s Your Next Step?
The song that kept ringing in my head the moment I got home. I can’t help but still be amazed at how much a blast today has been! Serving God out of love, joy and a heart of worship, in media and alongside with those awesome peeps, being able to be at service celebrating His goodness – What more can I ask for?
Surely things like school work do come to mind. The need for balance, yet really living LIFE (Living In Fulfillment Everyday), ultimately walking side by side with God in all I think and do. I can’t help but feel so blessed and loved by all God has done and given! From then and now, and how far I’ve come. And yes, I’m going to work harder and I’m just going to keep getting better and better! :)
I’m loving Sound more and more! :) And it doesn’t stop here!
Cause I know there’s got to be another level
Somewhere closer to the other side
And I’m feeling like it’s now or never
Can I break the spell of the typical
Voice Out.

You Hold Me Now
“Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that He had come from God and was going back to God” – John 13:3
God, it’s going to be a long day. Hold me, in that secret place, in Your arms.
Knowing I have been born of You, and I am going to You.
And that deep down within, I do not have to be afraid.
I’m closing that door behind.

Dawn’s Breaking
You know my heart is heavy
And the hurt is deep
But when I feel like giving up
You’re reminding me
That we all fall down sometimes
But when I hit the ground
You lift me up when I am weak
Your arms wrap around me
Your love catches me so I’m letting go
You lift me up when I can’t see
Your heart is all that I need
Your love carries me so I’m letting go
You lift me up with your love.
When I’m crying out and falling down
You are here.Overtaken by Your love.
Euny.
Words for the day
I’m not here to attend a service.
I’m not here to be entertained by voices and instruments.
I’m not here to serve for the sake of serving.
I’m not even here for me. There is no Glory to be gained in my service to you anyway.
I’m here because God has designed me to be in His house. His community of believers.
I’m here because I have fallen in Love with God.
He is not to be used in the church for a social club for the ‘in crowd’
I’m not here to play lukewarm living.
I’m here because I’m on fire to live full as who I am created by God.
Like You Do
I found this painting I did quite awhile back. But I never kept it, wondered why? I did this at The President’s Challenge Exhibit at Felicia Low’s space last year. Never got the chance to get it back despite being one of my fav on the spot less than an hour work. I pondered upon who saw that work, the impression it left on people, or was it just another painting?
Today, a series of events wrecked my life forever.
Yes, Wonka’s Grape and Strawberry Nerds.
Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. (Phil 3:12-14)
God, You’re all this heart is living for.
To be like You in all You do.
Stop Living In Fear. Because that’s not who you are euny.
