on wings like eagles~

I can't get started properly on my 223 essay, so I shall just take a break and type out what I've learnt in church yesterday=)

Being a true Disciple in the midst of Storms.

that was the topic. and I was really glad for the teaching. for the past weeks, the winds have been blowing and the waters have been rising, and it was quite dis-heartening for me.

but the word on sunday just reminded me that we just need to call on God for His peace, wisdom, and favour when storms come. and no matter how strong the storms of life are, our God is way stronger:)we just need to get our foundations right by anchoring our lives on the rock of our salvation.

2 Peter 1:3-4(He has given us EVERYTHING we need in life!)

3His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. 4Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature and escape the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.


and when SP led us into a time of praying down on our knees with our chairs as our personal altars of worship and surrender, I just knelt there and told Him that I really want so dearly to be close to Him and to have a much deeper relationship with Him.

1 Peter 5:7-( I just really clung on to this verse, and cast down all my anxieties at the foot of the cross)

7Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.


I believe it's time to cross over to the other side.

Time to hold firmly onto His hands and to go through the storms.

Father, I want to know more and more about the One who holds my hand in this race that I run.

and I know, that by faith and Your grace, we will soar with You above the storms and we will rise above the floods in our lives.

Nahum 1:7-

7 The LORD is good,
a refuge in times of trouble.
He cares for those who trust in Him

When the oceans rise and thunders roar,
I will soar with You above the storm.
Father, You are King over the flood,
And I will be still and know You are God.
