Faith Noodles

I like my hair to be one phone's length (the S5 variety) beneath my chin. Told ya it was random. Hehe.

"My heart is so proud, my mind is so unfocused I see the things You do through me as great things I have done And now You gently break me, then lovingly You take me And hold me as my Father and mould me as my Maker.." I was just listening to the lyrics of "Grace" by Laura Story, and it prompted me to talk with God about the things He's been teaching me the past few months. Here it is :) Dad, What could you be doing in my life right now apart from teaching me to not find my worth in success - academic, career and financial success? When better to teach me than at the start of my career? But this success addict is finding it so hard to let go of what has given me a sense of worth so much of my life. I never realised how much importance I placed on it until it became nearly impossible for me to succeed and the possibility of failure is becoming so real. I thought You abandoned me and so I got really angry at You and stopped doing what my renewed hear...

When relaxing.. 1. Have a bolster handy 2. If someone rudely wakes you up to take a photo of you, refuse to cooperate and look grumpy 3. Always position yourself in the most comfortable spot

I was just reading my fear-stricken posts leading up to my internship applications last year. My favourite one has always been t his one . Even when I crumbled in fear, my Father was so patient with me, guiding me each step of the journey. I cannot believe how richly He has provided for me - I have a paid internship and I get to work in a position where I can just love people, especially people in very vulnerable positions.. It definitely has its challenges, but I feel so certain that God purposed me to be here. Help me and strengthen me, Father, to do Your will.

It has felt amazing to be in a new town. Meet new people. Get on well with them. Be welcomed so warmly. And to start earning! But I feel it. Since I've started working and learning to stand on my own two feet.. I feel the temptation to.. value material things and love money above my relationship with God - it has been so good to be able to afford nice clothes, facials, and just pamper myself more since I've started earning. start minor swearing - especially when my clients are swearing so much and swearing back can help to build rapport. If you know me, this is shocking right? So thankful to meet a Christian youth worker last week who was also struggling in the same area and her reminding me to not compromise who I am in Christ for the world, and remembering that by not swearing, I'm giving my clients something different from what they are used to - and that not swearing has to come from a place where I'm not saying "I'm better than you", but that...

Dear Daddy, There are so many things I want to thank you for. I am so humbled by how You have provided for me since I moved last Sunday. <3 my wall of cards! Thank you, Dad for.. 1. My new friends. I'm someone who doesn't crave a bustling social life, but I really do like having a close group of friends. I've been meeting a couple of friends of friends over this Easter weekend and they live only 2 minutes away from me. In just a span of one week, I've found friends with whom I can grow in faith with, friends who've offered to give me rides to the bus stop, another friend who will watch girly movies with me (like Cinderella :P) and a friend who doesn't mind playing board games with me (that's very important you know :D). Daddy, You think of everything! 2. My lovely workmates. The two teams that I'm working with are so lovely, supportive and easy to get along with. I really cannot say more. It is really my prayer that I will be able to ble...

Knowing how sensitive I am to caffeine, perhaps it wasn't the wisest thing to have my "kumquat lemon tea with aloe with 30% sugar and 80% less ice" at 10pm. Even if Chatime's just opened in my part of the world and even if I'm leaving for a town where there will be hardly any Asian food, except what I can prepare myself. It's 4am now and I'm feeling rather proud of myself for spending my time so efficiently. So far I've tidied my room and packed (not done yet though) and I've prepared the batter for apam balik, this crispy pancake with peanut filling. I was whisking away at 3am in the bathroom, hoping that I won't wake any of my family members up. And thanks to my ninja whisking skills, I didn't :P bahahaha. Now, it's 4am and I've finally decided to try and sleep.. and my thoughts are wandering. I move this Sunday. Although I feel like I've found a really great flat with really nice flatmates, I'm not allowed to bring m...
