Nature's Masterpieces

Note: Nature has a way of displaying to us the majesty of God's creation. These geo-rock formations are formed over hundreds of years as the earth slowly erodes from constant slow wind, blowing their way. Who says the rock is stronger than the wind? It is in such beauty that we are reminded of God's true majesty. With each magnificent sculture that gets formed, these ever-changing masterpieces seem to take delight in giving Him glory.

Note: If i could ever be a flower, i want to be just like these lilac beauties. Bobbing and swaying in the wind, in unison harmonies, giving praise to their Maker. It doesn't matter that they are growing wild by the roadside, it doesn't matter if no one tends to them. It certainly doesn't bother them if one heavy human should trample or a cheeky dog should pee on them. They do just what they were created for - stand tall, and show off their beauty and glorify their God! =)

Note: I stumbled upon this flower growing somewhat wild and unkempt beside a garbage bin. It was too pretty not to photograph. So, squatting next to the bin, i snapped my photos, much to the surprise of the Taiwanese and tourists alike. How can i miss on a such a beauty? Then it struck me everywhere all over the world, people overlook people who live marginalised, ignored and forgotten beside garbage bins and trash heaps. Each life, however, is beautiful and treasured by their Creator.



These make me think then, Who am i? what was i created for? What can i do that will bring God the greatest delight?

An eventful May

It's been a long eventful month of May.

Me birthday was sweet, (still coming to terms that i am inching nearer to the end of my 20s). Apart from the sweet poem for my birthday and a yummy bowl of hot longevity noodles from my hubby, i got a 30month gym membership from him as a birthday gift.. =) Ha..ha.. he's trying to help me keep looking youthful, i guess. =)

Bro left for NZ for work. I miss him quite a bit.. Particularly so when he's going to be there alone.. Wish NZ was just an hour's flight away or something like that.. But i do know that God has a marvellous plan for his life to have given him this opportunity..

Same day that my bro flew off to NZ, someone broke into my house and stole my precious laptop and new DSLR camera. The most heartbreaking thing was to losing these less-than-1-year things which were bought with very hard-earned savings... Also heartbreaking was losing quite a number of photos, which were very recently taken. Thank God, though, that many others were backed up elsewhere.. Anyway, I thank God we weren't at home, and that no one was hurt and nothing else was stolen.

So this kinda explains the silence from blogging the past few months, and my complete ignorance of the fellow bloggers' life around..

Thank GOd for an opportunity to travel to Taiwan with my colleagues on a company trip. It was a very nice short holiday for us.. and THank God for Phylli who so graciously lent me her D70, and my ex-colleague KK, who lent me his 55-200mmzoom lense. I couldn't imagine travelling without a Nikon DSLR.. =)

The month is coming to an end. So much has happened around the world and even close to home. With all these never-before events unfurling, i can't help but know the end is coming soon, and we each have to be faithful to the calling and faith that we profess. BUt then again, it is for such a time as this that we have been bron, and for such a time as this, that God has called us to be His own - shining, glowing, living for His purpose and His glory!

God bless.

Happy birthday Honey and the gift of yourself

To my dearest wife,

The strength of your love in kindness, gave me a haven where fills my heart with every sense of warmth and precious memories. Your kindness is the touch, the look, the beat of heart, and the act that seeks to cherish and guard the one whom you say "I love you".

Here's a poem from Samuel Zwemer that helps me to put to word who you are to me :)

Her love was like an island
In life's ocean, vast and wide
A peaceful, quite shelter
From the wind and rain and tide

'Twas bound on the north by hope
By patience on the west
By tender counsel on the south
And on the east, by rest

Above it, like a beacon light,
Shone faith and truth and prayer;
And through the changing scenes of life
I found a haven there.

Happy birthday!

love,


YY
