Ive woke up this morning, determine to spend time with my Lord. Although it is short, I know Papa loves it. Father, thank you for your patience with your dear gal here. :) I love you. I adore you. I AMORE you.
Father, I have read the below this morning.
Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies. (1 Corinthians 6:19-20)
You are right. When I have first accepted you, I have also accepted this precious gift, my very own Holy Spirit from you. Now that my best friend lives in me, you are in me as well. The spirit lives side by side with my physical body. If I do not take care of my physical body, it will definitely affect the spirit. When I fall sick, it indicates that I have neglected my physical body. I'm sorry, Father for doing this intentionally. I thought I can cope with the multiple of late nights. Clearly, it has not.
The scripture above relates to sexual immorality that had happened in the Corinthians' church. As sex was rampant in the society, undeniably, it had also crept into some members of the church. Paul wrote the above as a "wake-up" call to them who were sinning intentionally. Paul reminded them that they are brought at a price where their soul, spirit and body belongs to Christ now. Indeed we are free from "sin" and our old practices but this freedom must not be taken advantage of to do what will harm our body in the long run. Sexual promiscuity will harm everyone including the sinner, loved ones and the community as a whole.
What I have received from this passage is that I am a steward of this body. I want to take care of you, Doreens' body that is brought at a price by Jesus Christ. To take care of you is to honour God with it.
What is good for the body?
- Breakfast
- Healthy Meals (More vege, fruits.. less meat)
- Eat earlier say (6pm)
- Sleep earlier (11pm- 7.30am)
- Exercise (Dancing; Swimming)
My Lord, give me this discipline to honour you in all that I do. As at now, it will be for my health..:) Father, guide me and mold me.
Loving you,
Doreen C.

May All honour and glory be unto you, My LORD! :)
Dear Lord,
I just want to thank you for all that you have given me. Without you, I will surely boast of what I can do or achieve with my own strength. But you know what, this is not the case. I thank you because of your unconditional love and that You are true to your promises. In fact, you ARE what you say you are ==>My Provider in all that I need and want. You care about every little things about me. You draw pleasure from my faith and trust in You, don't You?
Ever since You embraced me into your Kingdom, You have never failed to guide me. Though many times, I tend to be distracted by mere "deeds", You are patient enough to wait for me. If only many will come to know You that You are for them, not against them. You are calling out for lost souls who are trap in the meaninglessness of this world. Only in You alone, can humanity find themselves and the purposes in their lives. Thanks to You, my Lord, I have found Passion and LIFE worth living for.

Dear Friends,
Have you ever wonder why those who call "Jesus as their Lord", seem to be more joyful and youthful in appearance? I was just chatting with my friends a few day ago and the answer is this. It is because the "Joy of the Lord, is their STRENGTH" (From the Bible: Book of Nehemiah Chapter 8: Verse 10). When one knows and walk closely with God, his DNAs' of love, peace, joy, hope, forgiveness and freedom (among many) are in them inside out. Sadly, not many desire to let go of the power of the world just to have these, even among those who know Him. It makes me wonder why?
Don't you desire to know what drives you ie. your passion and the purpose you are born in this world? Surely, we are more than just "robots" having to churn repetitive works so that we can "survive", earn more money, work our youth away and retired at the age of 60? Honestly, do we have the strength to enjoy our hard-earned money then? Even if you don't believe in this God, and if you sincerely love your life, don't you desire to truly live life NOW instead of worrying about what you don't have, to meet wants that you don't need?
I sincerely do hope that in whichever season you are at, I pray that you are blessed in your faith journey as well. I know God loves all who are made in His image and that includes you. It is an honour to be able to share this journey with you:) Cherish and LOVE LIFE and those around you.:)

With Love,

My Car Hunting Adventure
The below detailed my car hunting adventure and how God has intervened in this adventure. ;)
SATURDAY
Was asking God on whether when will I get my car.
Somehow, there was this voice directing me to check the car websites on the same nite. Did that on the night. Saw the car. Low mileage, low amount, Got the plate with number 2 & 8 on it. :)
Was reading the bible and landed on this verse.
7I will look to the Lord.
I will wait for God to save me.
I will wait for my God to listen to me. "Micah 7:7
After reading this verse, I know that God has heard my prayer and will act SWIFTLY. :)
SUNDAY
Was still pondering about it.
MONDAY
Finally, asked Jo to help me in emailing her from the website.
TUESDAY
Owner called me in the morning and said she is free on Wed. Something in me directing me to transfer my money from UBank to my HSBC account so that I have the money to pay for the car.
I did in the early afternoon and I have the money by Tuesday night.
WEDNESDAY
Go for inspection and got the car on spot.
- was doubting but yet, thank God for Jo for he said not to listen to doubt.
- was praying to God have someone who is honest and oh my, she was honest from the moment we met her. She said that she does that because she would like someone to treat her like that too. :)
It all happened within a sec.
FRIDAY (A week later)
Prepared my bank cheque.
Ready to collect my car today! :)
Woohoo!!!
God is faithful and His promises as our provider always prevailed. :)
In Christ alone,
Doremi
