All you need is Faith!

He is Constant!

In the world that we live in, change is the only constant..
But we often forget that God is also a constant.
His love for us never changes.
Past.
Present.
Future.Always and forever more.
Amen.

Avelyn was here.
yo dudes!
how are u guys doing? not hrd frm u guys for quite awhile..i presume u're up to here [points to forehead] with work yeah? haha who isnt..anyway, here's bits and snippets of my life..
lately i've been feeling immense joy alot. like, ALOT! it's almost as if energy was bursting out of me and i cld just stnad atop mt. everest and proclaim 'GOD IS GOOD..ALL THE TIME!'
that's like, cool :D
was feeling slightly irritated last night tho, so [heh guess who i picked this up frm] i went to bed cos i didnt trust anything that might come out of my mouth..
everyday i stare at the endless list of things with at least half of them marked *pending and important* and i wonder how come i'm not dead frm exhaustion yet but my guess is tt the feeling's mutual..well, it's probably the same for eveyrone of us yeah? but i'm gaian reminded of God..His wonder, splendour..ever faithful and loving :) and i find strength to press on!
..for His power works through our weaknesses..
amen.
hope the Lord has been working in ur lives too! and if u ever have any grievances, come scream a lil' on this blog :D silently, of course...
cheers~
love, avelyn

Hey guys! i'm back after a looong break (:
smth real awesome happened a couple of days ago..
i was reading 40 days of purpose and God spoke to me! He hit me so hard i started crying n gosh i felt so emotional i was almost hysterical but the weird thing is..i wasn't crying buckets of tears like i usually would, and i wasnt all short of breath n hiccoughing..He really went easy on me.
And he jus revealed to me a few things abt servant hood..very timely if u ask me..
OH YES! i'm the secretary for dance!!! *jumps aorund with joy* cant believe i've not shared tt with u guys yet...anw, we were called to be gd examples and gosh there is quite alot of expectations to live up to..i'm rediscovering my abilities in serving Him :)
anw, yeah i was tearing and after i closed my prayer, i got up and 2 things happened
1) i found my long lost CD that i thought was gone for good
2) i found some spare red card tt i had left in a corner [n had conveniently forgotten abt] which saved me a trip to the bookstore and 80cents :)
and tt's not all...
i fell out with my friend one night..my shoulder, elbow and right thumb got bruised in a little scuffle, but not as bruised as my dignity was.
i wanted to go home and cry it all out for the rest of the night in the silent comfort of my room but for some reason i ended up sitting on the overhead bridge. i jus sat there, a few metres away from the bus stop crying my heart out..and He sent someone along...
this man, a complete stranger, passed by and was obviously surprised [u dont see a 17 yr old crying on the overhd bridge at 10pm night everyday]
but what was even more surprising was tt he stopped to ask if i was alright, and when i told him i jus quarrelled with my friend, he didnt just say some consoling words and walk away.
he did better.
he told me to give my friend a call, assuring me tt it wld be alright by now.
anw, the night ended with me watching some rented movies with my friends as planned, after we sorted things out and gosh! i'm jus amazed at how He works..
i was acting pretty foolishly to have caused the spark between me n my friend and no, He didnt jus leave me to my vices...He sent someone kindly along to salvage the night.
God is just amazing.
and loving.
i dont know what i'll do without Him.

A little here and there

I realised that I'm not letting my faith in God really shine through in my daily life.

In fact, I almost completely gave up the thought of ever going to church again. For those of you who know my problem, well, I can say that it hasn't really gotten better, but I have faith in God that it will be solved, STILL.

I can't say that my life has been plagued with any other major problems at this point of time, because I guess, sub-conciously, God has been working his wonders.

To tell the truth, I feel much better inside now as a Christian. When there is no one to talk to, there is always GOD to share my problems with, to be there for me. It's almost become a habit for me now to just share with God what has happened during the day, and if need be, pray.

And yes, I still do keep a nifty prayer journal which I do tick off those which have been answered and those which've yet to be. =)

Pray for me:

That I don't stray from my walk with God.

Guys guys guys guys...URGH!!!

2005-06-02T00:47:00.000+08:00

i do NOT like guys!!!!!!
*inhales*
*exhales*
sorry abt that..
the pendulum swings..
i'm experiencing too much on this roller coaster ride!
have faith though...
after all, God created man and everything He creates is good.
and i guess He has His reasons for creating Adam first.
it's nice being able to talk yourself out of these moods :)
i swear to keep guys off my mind for the next 8hrs!
(while i'm sleeping)
haha~

Daniel:

Ok, finally got to post... haha... dun worry avelyn, u're not alone now.

I read this quite disturbing post on Greg's blog today. Here's what it says:

"Aniwaes, heres my nick on msn for the week.....
"(behbeh.tk) u reap wat u sow....acknowledge ur own success and stop giving credits to people or something that may not even exist............it makes u weak and overly dependent on others...........i'm frightened....... *hint hint*"

It seems like recently, ive this thing against people whom are spiritually overly-devoted to their religion....... not that it is wrong ..... but there's an extent to how many times you do it.... it gets on people's nerves!!!!

for eg,
A : WHOA! Seems like you scored the highest for MATHS TEST.... congrats.!
B : that aint anything......... it's god's blessing!

A : OMG! you won a phone!
B : Yeap....... I think that is god's blessing in disguise since ive been rather unlucky these days.

Cmon guys....... its your own actions which resulted in the supposed "blessings" you had....... thank yourself for it...... BE A MAN.... face the world - it's u against the world.... not 'tat' person"

Yea. Greg's a good friend of mine, and it kinda makes me feel sad to read something like this. I guess they won't really understand all these. I think there was a period of time in my life where I was like that too. Well, the verse "forgive them for they don't understand" comes to mind. Ah well. Pray for him guys. Oh, and don't try to explain anything to him. Just live a Christ life, and he'll see things. :) God bless you all!!

AVELYN speaks: omgosh i love planet shakers! haha~ it's hard not to get addicted when u've listened to their CD 4 times in a day...where did i get all tt time? ok confession time - i didn't go to sch today..cos i'm sick *bleargh* ok if u ask me, it's more of tiredness than sickness but anyway...i managed to get some work done *turns to look at my 9 page long econs essay - which is still growing*
ok enough of tt..updates on my life...i got a leg cramp this morning! *owch* it still hurts a lil' but it's not killing me or anything...i AM seriously drained though, by all the buzz going around...does "over-committed" ring a bell? still, i'm rededicating my life to Lord and i'm reminding myself of it every now and then :)
when u think abt eternity and the purpose of our existence, suddenly econs hmwk doesnt seem to very impt.
not tt i'm running away frm it or anth, course...hey it's almost complete!
so anyways...how are u guys all doing? i mean seriously i havent the faintest idea what is going on in ur lives (since nobody is blogging..which leads me to my next point - hey i took pains to create this blog for a reason!!!!!) so somebody pls send a signal and tell me u still remember my name!
i mean..seriously! the next time i see u guys u're going to go like..."uh wait. u look really familiar. wad's ur name again?"
*sheesh*
