And the Word of the Lord became the Joy and Rejoicing of my Heart

Now you are going through pain, but I shall see you again and your hearts will thrill with joy - the joy that no one can take away from you - and on that day you will not ask me any questions. (Phillips)

So you have sorrow now, but I will see you again; then you will rejoice, and no one can rob you of that joy. (NLT)

- John 16:22

Teach me Your ways, O Lord, that I may live according to Your truth!

Grant me purity of heart, so that I may honor You.

- Psalm 86:11

We put our hope in the Lord.

He is our help and our shield.

In Him our hearts rejoice,

for we trust in His holy name.

Let Your unfailing love surround us, Lord, for our hope is in You alone.

- Psalm 33:20-22

I prayed to the Lord and He answered me.

He freed me from all my fears.

Those who look to Him for help will be radiant with joy;

no shadow of shame will darken their faces.

- Psalm 34:4-5

Love knows no limits to its endurance, no end to its trust, no fading of its hope; it can outlast anything. It is, in fact, the one thing that will stand when all else has fallen.

- 1 Corinthians 13:7 (Phillips)

My Cup Runneth Over: February 2012

Jewel giving me a few little tubs of jams coz she thought I would like them! I'm gonna bring them with me to India in case I get tired of curry ;)
Finding random, cute stuff in Popular with Jo!
Esther Glory buying me and Jo ice cream :)
Lazy, loungy days! :) Swam 30 laps in the morning in Xinyi's resort-like pool, then we watched The Help and New York Minute! And her mum was so sweet, she ordered pizza for us! :)
Getting a cute sheep card and a little tub of mini M&M's from Pastor Rachel :)
Quality time every Thursday afternoon with Faith. Feels like we're on a weekly date hahaha.
Yay getting a little bag of Jagabee potato sticks from Nic! Who also gave me a ride home!! So nice to have friends with a car!! :D
Pastor Julie paying for our lunch! So sweet...and made me realise we really should make more of an effort to just hang out with the adults and get to know them!
Hong Wei and Justin buying lunch for us after church. It's so nice to be taken care of :)
Daniel treating us to a "farewell dinner" at Crystal Jade before he left for Japan. It's so nice to be so well fed :)
Finding blogs/videos of people who held on to their dreams even when it was hard, reminding me that I should never let things in my life embitter me and push myself away from God's hand of blessing.
Whenever Daniel buys a new book, he gets really excited and will text me about it or show it to me when he comes home! Haha I think it is so cute, and I think I am so blessed to be staying with people who love books so much! He bought the Bonhoeffer book that Chinh wanted me to read but I didn't want to be reading on my holiday! :p
Finally getting my birthday "tart" haha. Jo bought a pavlova for us to share and it is soooooooooooo yummy. I think my pavlovas might be my new favourite thing, they're so light!
Faith giving me an extra tub of very addictive chocolate chip cookies coz I mentioned that I loved it the last time she gave it to me! :) And buying me gong cha hahaha. And we shared comfort food together - not realising we were both sick-ish, and made each other sicker.
Mercy coming home tiredly from work and still offering to cook dinner for me :)
Whatsapp group chats with Mei and Malvin. They crack me up! :)
