MY DREAMS for GOD!

Yesterday during cell, we talked about our dreams, what is it that we want to achieve...
I was nervous, haha that's because I've always been so shy to tell others what I my aspirations are. But today, as I was preparing cell for my darlings girls tomorrow, I bummed into this website written by a woman who is strong in faith, and she was talking about dreaming for God. She said that we should always write down our dreams, be specific, thank god for them everyday, pray about them and believe that they will come to pass.
Yup so I'm going to do this now...I'm going to write them down....Thank you so much God for teaching me how to trust in you, how to grow in you, how to believe in you...

I have 3 dreams, I realised that they are really alot. haha

1st - Some of you know that I'm currently majoring in Psychology in university, yes, I love people and I've always loved to help people. I want to understand them, to help them, to bless them, to encourage them. My heart goes out particularly to children, those little children who come from broken homes, disadvantaged homes...I believe that they need a touch from God and I want to be that vessel that will bring them to God. So yes, I want to be involved in a children's centre, a children's home, an organisation or something like that to bring hope to them, to let them know that there is a hope...that they can still achieve their fullest potential that God has for them...I want to change poeple's lives...

2nd - haha think some of you know about this too.....I love music! This dream came to me recently, and that is I want to touch others with music....with songs that speak of God's faithfulness, of the hope that we have...that the world is so broken without God, that things of the world can't satisfy us. One singer whom I really admire is Britt Nicole :) Her songs really build me up in my down moments and yes I believe that God has used her songs to touch others. But the thing is I'm not a good songwriter, I mean I've never written a song before. I want to grow in this area though...I want to bring songs, words that are from God to minister to people. And yes, I'm not sure if I'm a good singer too. haha (I worry too much!) I mean I was from choir for my first 3 months in JC (like Senior High) but, I quit after that as I realised that I didn't like that kind of singing. Recently I've been looking into christians bands and singers in Western Australia (Perth)...yes I believe God is using Australia to reach out to the masses! Haha think some of you already know, Perth is going to be my future home. My prayer is that God will use my in Perth to reach out to His people there with songs.

3rd - Last aspiration. Some of you know that I've taken a couple of theatre modules in NUS too. Want to know why? Coz one of my dream is to touch people through movies. For me, I didn't like how the movies/entertainment industry has turned into a world full of hurts, things/scenes that displeases the Lord etc...I've always want to do movies that will spread God's love, that will touch lives through the stories...I want people to walk out of the cinema changed, in their hearts, spirit, way of looking at life etc...
Why reach out through movies? Cos everybody love to watch movies! That's how you can reach out to the masses. That's how to can touch poeple on a large scale.

Are these dreams impossible? NO! I'm learning to trust God, to believe that they will come true. How? I don't know. But I'm willing to learn. Father, plan this path out for me. You will be my director, You will be my guide, my teacher. And Father, should I ever loose sight of doing your will, pull me back. You taught me to dream big, I want to dream big for You...I know that Your heart is for the lost out there....I want to have the same heart as Yours.

Thank You for always moulding me. Thank You for finding me, for Your love, faithfulness, Your promises...Help me to be more and more like You, each day.
Amen.

You can Walk on the water too

Are we going to play safe.....again?
Yes, it is always nice to be in our own comfort zones...but...

Am I going to hold back what He wanted me to do?
So often I tell myself that it is better to loose my pride than to loose that chance to bring someone closer to Him.
So what am I waiting for? Why isit so hard to talk about this issue to people?
Take that first step. You know that it is always He who is in control, so why are you still holding back?

I tell myself that I want to love the world just like the way He has loved me. He loves the world, and if I say that I love Him, then that means I must love what He has created which is the world.

I don't want to follow the world. The world says that I'm not good enough, I'll say 'no'. He is with me and I can do all things in Him.

I want to love people....teach me how to love people. Every individual is created by You.
You love him, her, he, she, they....You love them, so I want to love them too. Every individual is so precious to You, so I must treasure people...coz they are from You. You think of them everyday.....You want to fellowship with them everyday...so I want to do that too...

You didn't give up on me, so I don't want to give up too.

I don't want to let my insercuritues alter me. I don't to always think about ME. I don't want to be afraid to stand out, even if the whole world laughs at me, I know that He won't laugh at me. Even if the whole world does not believe me, I know that He believes in me. Even if nobody will do it, I want to be the one who stills hold on and do it. Even if it is very difficult, I don't want to give up.

I know that I am made for more.
So what am I waiting for?
Don't be afraid....

Faith is all it takes to walk on water....Your faith is all it takes for you to walk on water.....too.
