What Faith Can Do

Everybody falls sometimes,
Gotta find the strength to rise
From the ashes, to make a new beginning .... :)


For the past one year, so many things had happened. Today as I was doing my devotion, I realized how far I have come this one year. Further than all my christian years added together.

I treat my family different, I approach my leaders, my members, my situation, my workplace...everything becomes different. My worldview, my perspective changes. And I began to realize, I can let go bit by bit, what I WANT what I NEED in life....and began to let others have what they need, what they want first. Not always successful of course. But something just changes in my heart. Supernaturally beyond words.

In my Christian walk, it is never an easy one. I am not talking about the persecution or the taunting, but the battle within self that is the toughest. The habits, the stubbornness, the ego, the certain thing you always feel you shouldn't give in....in this walk, you have to give it all away. For a good cause of course.

But each time, a situation challenges us to do something more, something of the unfamiliar, something of discomfort to our natural habits, we are scared to death, we squirm, we whimp....but then, the moment a step is taken, everything becomes easy, everything is taken care of.

All these while, the "aftermath" I often expect after I took a step of faith, is never as bad as I have always imagined. Every single time, things are taken care of. How can I then deny, that my God will not take care of me? Surely enough each step I take, He was there with me...

Today, after this one year of moulding God has done to prepare me for the next phase of my life...I have learned to give, to love, to forgive, to step back, to submit, to honor, to let go, to be less legalistic, more gracious, more loving, more balanced...more excellent.

In this chapter, I have many ups, many downs, many regrets, many lessons, many blessings, many heartaches and pain... much more accomplished from here, I have gained many insights, revelations, and much courage to be bold, to live like there's nothing lose. Still a lot to improve of course, but I am getting there.

It is in this chapter, that I experienced true brokenness, where the situation forces you to either be broken and give it all to God, trusting Him and living for Him alone...not for your self.....OR, I choose to let go of God, let go of all these crazy stuff I need to deal with and go through, and just live for my self.

It is in this chapter of my life, I have learned, that I am totally far....far off....very very far, from perfection. And precisely because of this, I cannot live without God. I wouldn't have the stamina, strength, and courage without Him. I am grateful that I went through all I need to go through. I couldn't thank God enough for seeing me fit for the test. I want to keep going....but this time, hand in hand....with my Daddy in heaven :)

You...you who are reading this...

Don't you give up now...
The sun will soon be shining :)

Even when you fall sometimes, You gotta find that strength to rise...
Just keep believing. You can never imagine, what FAITH can do =)

Love always.

Rock of Ages

I read Isaiah 26:4 today. The word "Rock of Ages" jumped at me (related to Verse 4).

What does it mean?

Then it sinked in. Rock of Ages...
Rock is something that does not rot nor decay.
Rock is firm
Rock is hard
Rock is the foundation to many buildings, and to many building materials.

Rock signifies strength
Rock signifies dependability
Rock signifies solidness
Rock signifies an anchor

Rock of ages is our God.
Our strength, our hope
Our foundation, our truth
Our anchor, our root

One we can depend throughout all ages
One we can trust for the rest of our lives...
Yesterday, today and tomorrow.

MY ROCK OF AGES....ROCKS!

Live Like There's Nothing to Lose

The news just declared today, that Steve Jobs passed away...
The man who made APPLE famous in the world, and change the world's view on technology advancement...

These are his words that gave me an impact today:
Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose...

Living like there's nothing to lose...

Recently in my life, there has been a lot of experiences that brought me to a cross road.  - to stay safe, or to risk it all.

Those who knows me well, know that I am a terrible worrier, afraid to take risk, calculative of my gains, and fearful of the unknown. These two months, God had really pushed and taught me what it means to STEP OUT and live like there's nothing lose.

I am proud to say...even though I am not perfect, and compare to many others I am totally far out of line. But I have given my best, and I have risk it all the best I know how. I have begun to understand what it means to conquer my fears, rather than letting them conquer me.

I invested, loved, given, embraced, cared less about persecutions, embarassment, being accepted.
Toward my family especially, my friends, my leaders, my members, my career...

Even though the return is one that is unexpected, not enough or negative. I am no longer bounded by the fear of those results.

Now, in preparation to step out beyond the familiar circle....to the strangers on the streets, the needy, the hurt. Gotta really prepare my heart for that. I am ONE step closer.

Live like there's nothing to lose. You will never know if you ever lived to see the sunrise tomorrow :)

Signing off. With love.

简单就好

It kinda hit me recently.


I love the simplicity of life...When I was younger, things used to be really simple.

In the world I once knew :

- I used to lie down in an open field, watching the night sky naming stars

- I used to tell the world how I admire living in a country side house with white picket fences

- I used to get all excited over rainbows after a rain and take pictures of them

- I used to sneak out to make phone calls in the middle of the night and get all happy just because I get to talk to my best friends

- I used to sit in an open car park chatting with my best friends and it feels amazing

- I used to hike up an empty hill and shout my discontent

- I used to “head bang” to some Linkin’ Park songs randomly with my friends and laugh about how silly we all looked

- I used to hug every single person like there’s no tomorrow

- I used to say “I love you” to all my friends because I treasure them very much

- I used to talk about anything under the sun, and it made my day so long as I was with the people I care about

All these are simple, but it made me really happy.

Some things I have lost as I grew up, being drowned with the busyness of life, work, being overwhelmed by the changes, trying to adapt, to cope, to grow, to excel....

Some things don’t seem to be all that significant anymore as I grew up.

In the era of science advancement, proofs and reasons are needed for every occurrence.

In the era where businesses are blooming, every connection, conversation, incident needs to be beneficial.

Even though some things do pass with maturity, but some things should be preserved. I miss the simplicity of life where I enjoy the simplest pleasure just by being with the people I am close with.

These few weeks I have been going back to the basics, and I kinda enjoy the simplicity of it all. Simple is good.

I love this new saying I learned from a friend. It is in Chinese: 简单就好

Sometimes, simplicity is all that we need to be happy.

Taken...

I can't deny....a LOVE so true...breaks me down till I've got nothing to hide...

You have taken me....and set me free

Prayer Meeting 6th September 2011

This prayer meeting was a significant one for me. I was on stage singing as a vocalist..then a voice came...I was presuming that it was God. This was the conversation:

God: Get ready for a new season, a new anointing....GET READY to embrace that call...

*silence*

Hazel: God is that You? Please let me know if it is You. Give me a sign
God: Fire...
Hazel: You mean when I open my eyes now, I will see a ball of fire, then I will know it is You? (*shock and tries to peep*...this is too huge a faith! Please don't do this to me)

God: No, Keith will say the word "fire"

Wow....that's a very low likelihood too aye? (*thinking to self*)

Hazel: God...you mean anyone who pray with me use the word "fire" is it?

I was trying to bring up the probability so that I can be assured that God was speaking to me....

God: Have faith! Keith will say the word fire...

Lo, and behold...after praying so much, Keith has not  even mentioned the word "fire" or anything that is close to that word.....So I thought....well, I must be thinking too much. Maybe its just me.

Then, the final passage that Keith read, was on the screen....as Keith read on and on and on....and my eyes screen through the projector screen....my heart beat faster and faster and faster....

1 Kings 19
¹¹ Then He said, “Go out, and stand on the mountain before the LORD.” And behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind tore into the mountains and broke the rocks in pieces before the LORD, but the LORD was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but the LORD was not in the earthquake; ¹² and after the earthquake a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice.

So, I SAW and I HEARD...
That sentence followed after the word "fire" pierced me like a double-edged sword...


And God spoke:

God: Hazel, do not look for a proof, do not look for a ball of fire....I am in that still small voice.

(*repent*)

And then, we prayed in tongues for 10 minutes....it felt like 1 minute. This was an amazing encounter. Thank You Lord.
