A memorable birthday
this has been an emotional birthday :')
you can never know how much you're blessed until when you sit and pondered about it.
A God who restores.
A God who sets me free.
I've received my Best 21st birthday gift right when i wake up on Feb25.
I can't imagine how God has been working in and through us, He's being in control; at the same time, working at the background unknowingly.
He is indescribably awesome!
"therefore if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother or sister has something against you, leave your gift there at the altar. first go and be reconciled to them, then come and offer your gift" matthew 5:23-24.

well, yesterday was my 21st birthday. oh yea, talking bout this, i forgot to thank my mum for giving birth to me! *open facebook page*
My mum has been a real hero in my life.
some people actually said that I mirror my mum.
well, it's a subconscious action i guess.
whenever people ask me about my family, about my story of growing up and things that've changed and impacted my life,
i can't help but mention so much about my mum leaving those people saying
"wow, your mum seems like a really wonderful lady. I'd like to meet her one day"
Thanks for giving birth and fully carried out your role 200% to raise us up!
I wanna let you know that all the sacrifice that you've put into is all worth it.
Thanks makmai and do know that you're loved <3
UPDATES of the week!
this week had been a crazy week.Physics tests in a row. homeworks due, quizzes, ICF worship,girls' night out, kids Sunday school...
and i basically slept at around 2 or 3am for few nights altogether.
i can feel my body heating up and i hope that i won't get sick soon!
*vitamins-double-dose time*
I got back my physics test paper.
errr..
well, i just prayed that i'd get above average and my prayer is answered. shouldn't i be happy bout that?
not really though. but at least i'm thankful that God listens :)
just that, i wish that i could do better with the amount of work i've put in.
I just pray that i'll keep on improving and do better next time.
Thanks dear friends and family and all other classifications of dear people for your sincere wishes!! :D
i doubt that i'd have time to reply one by one, but i'll try? ><in the meantime, also sorry guys for those of you who'd tried calling me but i've not picked up most of the calls! so so sorry!
i'm either rushing for my assignment, in ICF, out somewhere or, smtg just happened.
but i'm glad that i got to picked up a few of the calls and i felt so so thankful for all of you!!!
thanks for the calls from miles and over the sea, i can literally feel your love flying in my direction! :DD
and so, i'm 21. officially an adult. and my girl friends decided to give me an adult experience or rather lesson? we went to a gay bar in downtown Bryan! wow! and the person in charge actually let me in free as a gift for my birthday. and so, i tried my first shot. it's just one though. only ONE. lol. they asked if i'd like to try more but i guess, first timer, one is good enough. Right? lol. i won't wanna get home drunk.
and so i stayed over at my dear friends' place. it's a girls' sleepover ;D
i had fun seriously. thanks girls!!!
whoa... lerdie all grown up liao ::sob:: ::sob::
ReplyDeleteThough you already turn 21,you will always be my little(grown up)girl whom I will love,protect(as much as I can),guide and most of all pray for daily.May our Good God grant you special GRACE as you journey on,may He offer special protections as you 'try up'life challenges which you are so 'tempted' to try on (which always worries me...)Each night I have to pray for God's guarding Angels to surround you, ah? Gay pub and learning to 'drink'?What else on the list? Be alert and always practice this exercise when you find hard to make decision..."What will Jesus do if He is in my situation?" or "Am I pleasing/glorifying Him in the things that I do?" Makmai has gone through your age and by His Grace survive(I understand it is not easy if you depend solely on your own strength)Prov3:5-6 will be a powerful reminder and blessing to you. Love you daily and miss you dearly. Take very good care!!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Lerd!
ReplyDeleteSuch a wonderful 21st birthday experience. Praying for you.
Just a note to alert you to enjoy your student life. This is the best period of your life. Working world is somewhat different - full of responsibilities and duties. There is still fun in the working world but cannot compare to the student life.
You have sounded as a growing adult and bubbling in excitement to explore the world. Do explore the world but be careful. We love you very much and have been praying for you. In fact we wish to skype you on your birthday but we were busy in Penang at the Provincial Gathering. Gokgoi came with us and helped in the multi-media. After Penang he went to Ipoh and helped Ray Of Hope. Tomorrow he is coming to KL for a few days before going back to Singapore.
Wishing you the very best in all that you undertake. Your service and involvement in the church and children ministries will certainly be a great development and training for you. Do also finish reading the whole Bible at least once or even twice and more times. Try fasting and meditating. These spiritual disciplines will help you greatly. Most of us learnt to walk closer with God while we were still studying.
All the best in all your undertakings.
May the good Lord continue to lead and protect you always.
Lots of love,
Pakpai
Fuyoh~ Gay Pub! The images of guys holding hands just flash by, looks scary *shake*
ReplyDeleteSo, its Gay pub and got drunk?! Wah naughty flip, i also haven get drunk before, in fact, i dun like to drink, taste yucky *vomits*
Think you already win me, coz i haven went to a pub before, not even with bf *sob* but he promise wil bring me there ONCE! Just once, enough! haha
Fast Fast pray harder for your prince charming. Pray that God will guide u and prepare you when you are enjoying your single life. Pakpai is right, student life is the best part in life. Must not waste all the good times to do all the things that u can while studying, coz most of the times u wont have time to do when you are working. Things that u can do are like, build relationship with more frens (be more sociable)make your circle of frens wider, learn to deal with people issue (build up character), exercise (make it a habit), watch glee ^^ (erm...might not be a gd example, hehe) and learn to be a GOOD WIFE/MOTHER!(doesnt need to get attach to learn, there is more things for us to learn emotional & mentally)
Good Good Good!!!!
Hope to bounce with u soon. Blabla! <3
wow! public letter from 65JCYF! isn't it better to write to me in email? :P
ReplyDeletehee. ok ok, thanks for the good advice!
i will enjoy!!!!! and grow in the Lord.
not to worry, Lerdie big girl already. will know how to take care of herself :)
