Miracle.

"How am I going to be fed??"

"How am I going to survive in this wilderness??"

millions of people asked those questions when Moses led the Israelites out of Egpyt.think about it.desert.HOT.food?? drinks?? NO DEAL!! thought of where would an incalculable quantity of food and water would come from.boleh survive ke??

Yet.in this seemingly impossible situation, God provided! :)

Exodus 16:15 And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, It is manna: for they wist not what it was. And Moses said unto them, This is the bread which the LORD hath given you to eat.

God provided Manna from heaven!! woooow!

When the people first saw the Manna on the ground, they wondered in amazement saying to each other, “What is this?”, which is exactly what “Manna” means in Hebrew — “What is it?” 

They were receiving the food of angels, [Psalm 78:24-25] which sustained them the entire time in the desert.

But we know what happened as time passed…the people got used to this miraculous provision, began to take it for granted, and even be bored with it, and, of course…the wonder of God’s supernatural provision evaporated. 

Israel lost sight of the miracle that God was doing in their lives each and every day.='(

Each and every day is a miracle from God. 

Each day of our lives we walk through a world filled with the wonders and glory of the Lord. But we, too, can become dull and lose the wonder of all that He has done and provided for us, even our very salvation. We need to awaken to the daily miracles of life, and to the never ending opportunities the Lord is opening, to pour His love into us, and through us. 

As we do, may we always be saying to ourselves,  

“Wow — what amazing love is this that’s been given to me!” 

-George Whitten-

go be a blessing today.smile.make someone happy.do something good.say something nice.:)

NERD.

sometimes.i'm amazed at myself too.:D

'OH NOOO.MY CHOKI CHOKI!!!!!'

(13th July)

the smooth, soft, fine sand reallyyy made my day.:D

we hung around till the sun.set.

my oh-so-successful frog jump yaww! :D

great company + great weather + gorgeous beach + pretty helium + flying kite + lovely sunset = :)

Estrangements between friends should not be permitted to continue over night. It is a scriptural counsel that we should not let the sun go down upon our wrath. Why? Because there may not be another day in which to get the wound healed and the estrangement removed. "But it was not my fault," you say. Noble souls, inspired by the love of Christ, must not ask whose fault it was that the estrangement began, nor whose place it is first to seek restoration. If it was not your fault, you are the better one to begin the reconciliation. It is Christ-like for the one who is not to blame to take the first step toward the healing of the breach. That is the way He did and always does with us. Do not delay too long. What time is it? Is the sun moving toward his setting? Hasten, and before the shadows of evening come on be reconciled with your friend. Let not the stars look down on two hearts sundered by anger or misunderstanding. 

Ephesians 4:26-27: Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: Neither give place to the devil.

"It is God who arms me with strength and makes my way perfect. He makes my feet like the feet of a deer; he enables me to stand on the heights. He trains my hands for battle; my arms can bend a bow of bronze. You give me your shield of victory, and your right hand sustains me; you stoop down to make me great. You broaden the path beneath me, so that my ankles do not turn."
Psalm 18:32-36

hike! hike! hike!

'Goood morning!' 'zou san!' 

those are few common words exchanged during my almost weekly hikes at Gasing.i loveee the breathe of fresh air.the greens surrounding me.

each step taken is a step of confidence.those sweat dripping down.feels great! 

hiking truly is a great way to commune with nature.:)

i remember one of my very first proper hikeeee.was when i still a pioneer girl (that'll take me about 9 years back?).together with the pioneer boys.we headed over to bukit kutu.ohemgeee.that.was.a.disastrous hike! i wasn't even fit to start with.a supposedly short 5 hours hike up.turned out to be like what.7 or 8 hours? yes.it was dreadful.very.felt like giving up every minute! our complaints were heard throughout the jungle.

bags were torn apart.shoes koyak.pants ada lubang.those were common sights.hah.bruises.leaches.were our new best friends.we reached the top.panting.this close to pengsan-ing.to a lalang-filled land greeting us.OMG.have to clear the lalang to set up our tents.we thought.'this cannot be happeningggg to us!' we tossed bags around.went down under branches.did commando crawls.whatever glam-ness we had.was running on a negative level.hah.

ps: no one looks good while hikingggg anyways! ;)

that's how i recalled bukit kutu.i've not returned to that bukit ever since.would loveee to one day.:)

many think that hiking is so suffering.tiring.gruesome.but i loveee the thrill and challenge that comes together with it! this i guess i've to credit my dad.who loves hiking too.he recently conquered Tahan yawww! *way to go la hippieee daddy* :)

sunrises.the cold fresh air.reaching the peak and witnessing amazing birds eye view.is just uncontainable.:) just sucking all the wonderful creation of God is amazing.

of course.the company.is always great too.:)

hiking trains you up physically.and mentally too! sometimes.it's all about the mind.say CAN.and you CAN! last time i always looked up those dreadful killer long stretches and wonder when would i ever reach the top.now? 

i just take one step at a time.not looking up.helps.;)

 

the coming down part.is the most unglam part.i hate coming downnnnns! the knee.poor knee.coming down from Gunung Datuk was like a never ending journey.and i started 'hallucinating'.saw green treas as cendol.rock as pondok.it was hilarious! hahaha.

but then when you're down and done.you feel soooo strong and awesome.and THIN.:)

this is just a short post dedicated to hiking.heh.Gunung Angsi.here i come tomorrow! :D

oh.pictures above were taken from Josh's iphone on our Gunung Nuang trip last month.:)
