M is for Monica. i'm a full time commerce student @ UWA. i turn one year older on the 14th Oct. i ♥ Jesus and not afraid to tell the world. i want to do YWAM and missions in the future. i love heights - planes, skyscrapers, mountains, cliffs, you name it. One day i hope to go bungee jumping and sky diving. i was born in China but have lived in Australia most of my life. Having said that, i'm still quite chinese lol. i like pink things, ribbons, bows, hearts, hello kitty, ruffles, lace, florals. i have a shoe fetish. i wouldn't call myself a shopaholic, although most of my friends would say otherwise. People often see me as strong, independent, ambitious. i thank God for the past 21 years that i've been alive. He has been ever faithful, gracious and loving.

>Your grace has found me just as i am, empty handed but alive in Your hands
>i called, You answered, i wanna be where You are
>i am a flower quickly fading, here today and gone tomorrow, a wave tossed in the ocean, vapour in the wind. still You hear me when i call out, Lord you catch me when i'm falling and you tell me who i am, i am Yours
>Broken hearts become brand new, that's what faith can do
>A thousand times i've failed, still Your mercy remains. And should i stumble again, still i'm caught in Your grace.
>My heart will sing, no other name, Jesus.
>If i had wings i would fly, coz all that i am, You are. If the world caved in around me, to You i'd still hold on.
>Your light will shine when all else fades
>i'm running to Your arms, i'm running to Your arms. The riches of Your love will always be enough.
>我们不是你和我
>活在第一次的见面里
>只要你一个眼神肯定,我的爱就有意义
>爱转角遇见了谁,是否有爱情的美。爱转角以后的街,能不能有我来陪。
>自由再被绑架之前,我决定过瘾的享受孤单。
>笑着面对每个阻碍,不轻易说离开
>我还记得你笑的像孩子一样
>离开我,你会不会好一点?
>幸福的开始就是放手去爱
>心碎了一地,捡不回从前的心跳
>我会学着放弃你,是因为我太爱你
>you're the only one whose got enough of me to break my heart
>you're the only one i've loved enough to not forget
>Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars? i could really use a wish right now
>you're the best thing that's ever been mine
>In a storm, in my best dress, fearless.
>If you're my dream please come true

Are these but dreams?
Thursday, November 10, 2011

Is it time to pack my dreams away? Are dreams merely dreams? When they are close to coming true I want to take a step back because I don't feel I'm ready? Reality is harsh. I am a selfish human being. Always wanting to do things for myself. Wanting to chase the life that I've always wanted. Mixed agendas. Saying I want to follow God to the ends of the earth but still having my own little life planned out. Using God's calling as an excuse to say no to the things I don't want to do. Never giving a second thought about family and their well-being. Are dreams but talk? So what about them? Are they really that important? What IS my dream? Just to travel the world? Life a carefree life?

Ephesians 4:1 - As a prisoner of the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received.

How am I living my life? What am I doing with the time I have now? My life has been passing. It started from the moment I took my first breath.

I want to see and experience the world. I need money. A lot of it, to do what I want to do. Once again, what I want to do. Me, me, me. The world revolves around me. I'm not satisfied with staying here. But it's not about me. Not at all. It's all about GOD. The challenge is glorifying God in every aspect of my life, wherever I go. I don't need to be in a third world country. But I want to. Wants. Desires.

What's going to happen next year? I've finished undergraduate uni life. Two exams to get through and it's all over. I thought I was more sure of what I would be doing next year. But everything still depends on each other. My plans can fail easily, however God's plans prevail.

There's so much I want to do in life. It feels like time is running out, even though I only just turned 21. I don't know where this sense of urgency came from. If I could just pack my bags and leave I would. I dream of the day I book a one way ticket out of Perth.

In the end, are these but dreams?

Closure

When someone says they want closure, I realized they don’t really mean they’re ready to face the end. When someone wants to end something, they usually just do it. Without fanfare, without declarations, without a need to make a big deal of it.

Closure doesn’t mean closing the door on it, really. Closure just means you want to get to the door and see if the other person wants to keep it open. And even if you say you want it closed, you secretly want to leave it slightly ajar. You know, just in case.

If you’re done, you’re done.

So be done.

Wait for me where the world begins.

Strong Women
Tuesday, November 8, 2011

Strength in women isn’t a bad thing. Strength demands excellence, bravery, intelligence. It demands reciprocity at its same level or more, otherwise pass it by. It just means these women know their worth and will never settle for less than they deserve.

The world will want to dumb you down and weaken you to a point of complacency and mediocrity in order to fit in and be easily handled. Your job, as a woman, isn’t to be understood. It’s to be authentic, purposed, determined. Not to be confused with impenetrability. Strength is choosing to be vulnerable in the face of all possible outcomes and forging on ahead, standing on firm ground anyway. Strong women hold on to truth and become the barometer for what the world should be and is a sad mirror to what the world actually is. But strong women remain strong because of the hope they cling on to as well.

There is hope for better because it will be. Strong women know this because they’ve been through enough storms to know that even the heaviest of rain clouds are broken through eventually by sunlight. Soon, enough light will shine that strength will be the new normal. In the meantime, there is nothing wrong with being the exception.
