trenchy goodness

Ever since I watched Breakfast at Tiffany’s, i’ve been in love with the trenchcoat…it’s one of the wardrobe items i AIM to get one fine day…….(er…we’ll see bout that). Anyway, I chanced upon these pictures from The Sartorialist and bahh, i’m seriously in awe of how chic these people are.. sigh, they’ve really managed to master the Art of the Trench. and ya i really like how these people mix the expensive stuff with the lesspricey items..hmm cos in my opinion, i think sartorial MAGIC/SPLENDOR happens when uptown+downtown come together. Gosh and check out the not-so-tiny details that really make the outfit worrrrrrk…(stringS of necklaces/ cuffed jeans!/the scarf/ this one’s my favourite…RED SOCKS!/chubbygoodnesshaha+polkadotscarf/THE HAIR../the headband/ those PINK converse/pure chic-nessss/those glasses+hair/ multilayers of flaps/the glasses+jawline). really ah-ma-zing..

nightmare

because the nightmare i had was seriously crazy..and i really dnt feel like sleeping anymore cos ugh so scary………i had to google nightmare. (ok im really very bo liao right) but anyway..revelation time!!

Sometimes people may avoid going to sleep after a particularly intense nightmare because of the fear of having another bad dream. In addition, people may have problems falling asleep if they are experiencing anxiety caused by the fear of having nightmares. As a result, these people may have the signs and symptoms associated with mild sleep deprivation, such as decreased mental clarity, problems paying attention, excessive daytime sleepiness, irritability, or mild depression.

Something I read today that i thought of sharing…

Jacob said to Pharaoh, “. . . Few and evil have been the days of the years of my life.” —Genesis 47:9

Jacob’s life was full of trials. And as it was for the old patriarch, so it is for us. Life buffets and restricts us, makes demands on us that we do not want to bear. Yet even the most unjust, undeserved, and pointless suffering is an opportunity for us to respond in a way that our Lord can turn us into His own likeness. We can take joy in our trials, because we know that adversity is working to make us “perfect and complete, lacking nothing” (James 1:3-4). But this takes time.

We want the quick fix, but there are no shortcuts that can accomplish God’s ultimate purpose for us. The only way to grow into Christ’s likeness is to submit each day to the conditions God brings into our lives. As we accept His will and submit to His ways, His holiness becomes ours. Gradually but inexorably, God’s Spirit begins to turn us into kinder, gentler men and women—sturdier, stronger, more secure and sensible. The process is mysterious and inexplicable, but it is God’s way of endowing us with grace and beauty. Progress is inevitable.

As Ruth Bell Graham puts it, may God give us grace “to bear the heat of cleansing flame, not bitter at our lot, but mete to bear our share of suffering and keep sweet, in Jesus’ name.”

–David H. Roper

Give me, Father, a purpose deep,
In joy or sorrow Thy trust to keep;
And so through trouble, care, and strife,
Glorify Thee in my daily life. —Bell

God often empties our hands to fill our heart.

lifeline

Jesus is my lifeline. I dont know what i’d do without having Christ in my life…I know my life will be in total darkness without Him.

i’ve been taking God for granted. I fail to trust and I fail to obey..I know I can be a conqueror and co-heir with Christ; and can do all things through Him who strengthens me..but that can only happen if I let go of my ’self’ and let God work in me..I need to take that step of faith and trust him in everything.

QT was a time when God spoke so so clearly..I am convicted. It’s very clear. I/We need Him more than anything else in life.  I cannot live my life according to my own will anymore.. I need to really just submit every single day, every single thought, every single doubt to Him..cos wrestling with God and his will will only lead to failure..

“God shows us our poverty of spirit when we try, in our own strength to walk in a way pleasing to God..and yet continually fail. This is the testimony the Apostle Paul gives of his own experience in Romans 7. Humility came only when the once proud Pharisee fell on his face and cried out “Wretched man that I am! Who will set me free from the body of this death?” (Romans 7:24 NASB).”
-Kay Arthur in.. (Lord, Only You Can Change Me)

Jeremiah 6: 16

Thus says the Lord: Stand by the roads, and look,and ask for the ancient paths,
where the good way is; and walk in it, and find rest for your souls.

Psalm 32: 8

I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; i will counsel you with my eye upon you….steadfast love surrounds the one who trusts in the Lord.

Hebrews 13: 21

[He will] equip you with everything good that you may do his will, working in us that which is pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.

You were as I
Tempted and trialed
You are
The word became flesh
Bore my sin and death
Now you’re risen

Everything I once held dear
I count it all as lost

Lead me to the cross
Where Your love poured out
Bring me to my knees
Lord I lay me down
Rid me of myself
I belong to You
Lead me, lead me to the cross
