He feeds, He knows and I believe

John 6

1Some time after this, Jesus crossed to the far shore of the Sea of Galilee (that is, the Sea of Tiberias), ²and a great crowd of people followed him because they saw the miraculous signs he had performed on the sick. ³Then Jesus went up on a mountainside and sat down with his disciples. ⁴The Jewish Passover Feast was near.

⁵When Jesus looked up and saw a great crowd coming toward him, he said to Philip, "Where shall we buy bread for these people to eat?" ⁶He asked this only to test him, for he already had in mind what he was going to do.

⁷Philip answered him, "Eight months' wages^{a]" style="font-size: 0.75em; line-height: 0.5em; ">[a]} would not buy enough bread for each one to have a bite!"

⁸Another of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, spoke up, ⁹"Here is a boy with five small barley loaves and two small fish, but how far will they go among so many?"

¹⁰Jesus said, "Have the people sit down." There was plenty of grass in that place, and the men sat down, about five thousand of them. ¹¹Jesus then took the loaves, gave thanks, and distributed to those who were seated as much as they wanted. He did the same with the fish.

¹²When they had all had enough to eat, he said to his disciples, "Gather the pieces that are left over. Let nothing be wasted." ¹³So they gathered them and filled twelve baskets with the pieces of the five barley loaves left over by those who had eaten.

¹⁴After the people saw the miraculous sign that Jesus did, they began to say, "Surely this is the Prophet who is to come into the world." ¹⁵Jesus, knowing that they intended to come and make him king by force, withdrew again to a mountain by himself

John 6:26

²⁵When they found him on the other side of the lake, they asked him, "Rabbi, when did you get here?"

²⁶Jesus answered, "I tell you the truth, you are looking for me, not because you saw miraculous signs but because you ate the loaves and had your fill. ²⁷Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. On him God the Father has placed his seal of approval."

²⁸Then they asked him, "What must we do to do the works God requires?"

²⁹Jesus answered, "The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent."

The 40 hr famine started last night and I guess part of this whole experience for me was to at first just get it over and done with. There wasn't a very spiritual aspect to this for me until I decided to have a peek at what the daily verse was on bible gateway was. Much to my surprise and pure Godness (if thats even a word), it was a line in John 6:29 " The work of God is this, to believe in the one he has sent" I guess it got me thinking about what this whole idea of the 40 hr famine and the principle of it all meant and should mean. For me, I think this famine should be a physical form of surrender to His work and what His plans are for the people that are suffering from poverty and starvation. These people are still God's people and lets face it, we are only that little boy with 5 loaves and 2 fishes. We have nothing much to offer but maybe this little token of love and money to show to those that are suffering that there are people who care, there is a God who cares and maybe there is hope. This poverty stricken world might only be a test for us as the five thousand was a test for the disciples back then, a test for us to carry out His love in a practical way and to trust in Him for He already has in mind what He is going to do. John 6:5-6

So, lets take this serious love seriously and show it practically and if you do want to sponsor me generously and help out people lovingly who are deprived of food and of love just give me a holla :) God bless

Before I forget

Happy Birthday

Mummyyy my loving inspiration

Stairface the gentleman who doesn't

and Tiff Tiff my gorgeous confidant

ily !

and above all, love ?

s2

heee... youuu make me happpyyy :)

Above all, love

I know what you meant

I know you're the beginning

I know you're my end

But this is the thing

You don't know who I am

And the thing is...

you don't even know who I'm talking about

Don't mind the masterpiece

You know those pictures you used to draw when you were a kid when they asked you to 'Melukis suatu pemandangan yang indah.' (Draw a beautiful scenery) for Art ? See, this was what I always drew the only difference was that I changed from a patch of grasslands to a beach every now and then. You know.. to shake things up ;) The thing is that I've actually never seen such a view. Where in Malaysia would you see bald hills and vast spaces of land with fluffly clouds and with the beautiful setting sun. Not in Malaysia ofcourse, but definitely in the outbacks of Australia.... oh yes the outback where sheeps are a plentiful and horse carriages often join the modern car on the narrow road. I saw an almost perfect copy of this very image just the other day and this post came to mind. It was a pretty spectacular view and just the type of view you might want to see at the end of the day :)

Have a great week loves :)

In other news, I need a dose of calibri purples :(

Good Morning, how can I help you ?

So, I was going to upload some piccies to bring some life to this half dead blog but i REALLY can't be bothered to do any of it. I shall post up a link instead :D (Y)

On another note, I've started a weeks worth of work experience at the receptionist desk in my moms clinic :) Its been great since, I have strange adversions to games like Diner Dash and Sushi Train... booking appointment = meal order, appointment = reservations, meals = patients, customers = doctors and etc... Seriously, how is that not fun !

Personally, I think its safe to say that I have had alot of experience in 'the clinic life' and I feel very much at home in a clinic but let me say that Mbro is quite out of the norm. The patients are quirkier (and not in a starshollow way), the patient to doctor ratio is positively skewed favouring the patients ( i think i got that wrong), everything is electronic, so one small slip of the finger might make a patient 81 instead of 18 (i did that today..very embarassing), and there are ALOT of phonecalls and angry patients to cater for (grrrr...). But inspite of that, the drama thrills me ,I love it and I don't mind seconds. :D

wish me luck :)

Stronger

Psalm 143

A psalm of David.

¹ O LORD, hear my prayer,

listen to my cry for mercy;

in your faithfulness and righteousness

come to my relief.

² Do not bring your servant into judgment,

for no one living is righteous before you.

³ The enemy pursues me,

he crushes me to the ground;

he makes me dwell in darkness

like those long dead.

⁴ So my spirit grows faint within me;

my heart within me is dismayed.

⁵ I remember the days of long ago;

I meditate on all your works

and consider what your hands have done.

⁶ I spread out my hands to you;

my soul thirsts for you like a parched land.

Selah

⁷ Answer me quickly, O LORD;

my spirit fails.

Do not hide your face from me

or I will be like those who go down to the pit.

⁸ Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love,

for I have put my trust in you.

Show me the way I should go,

for to you I lift up my soul.

⁹ Rescue me from my enemies, O LORD,

for I hide myself in you.

¹⁰ Teach me to do your will,

for you are my God;

may your good Spirit

lead me on level ground.

¹¹ For your name's sake, O LORD, preserve my life;

in your righteousness, bring me out of trouble.

¹² In your unfailing love, silence my enemies;

destroy all my foes,

for I am your servant.

for you are stronger... for you are stronger..

Also, I'm pretty sure that I know the best bunch of awesomely amazing girls ever : )

I like gummy bears and faces and stuff..
