It's okay to have "down" moments in our lives
because without these moments,
we'd never experience the truly precious!
We learn as we fell!

Prayers

Prayer is the simplest form of speech
That infant’s lips can try;
Prayer the sublimest strains that reach
The Majesty on high.

"Because He has inclined His ear to me,
therefore I will call upon Him as long as I live."

-Psalm 116:2-

"O LORD, hear my prayer,
listen to my cry for mercy;
in your faithfulness and righteousness
come to my relief."

-Psalm 143:1-

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.

-Psalm 143:8-

Teach me to do your will,
for you are my God;
may your good Spirit
lead me on level ground.

-Psalm 143:10-

The LORD is near to all who call on him,
to all who call on him in truth.
He fulfills the desires of those who fear him;
he hears their cry and saves them.

-Psalm 145:18-19-

Prayer is an intimate conversation with our God.

Ask, Seek, Knock

"Ask and it will be given to you;
seek and you will find;
knock and the door will be opened to you.
For everyone who asks receives;
he who seeks finds;
and to him who knocks,
the door will be opened."

"Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone?

Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake?

If you, then, though you are evil,

know how to give good gifts to your children,

how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!"

-Matthew 7:7-11-

"But I tell you who hear me:
Love your enemies,
do good to those who hate you,
bless those who curse you,
pray for those who mistreat you."

-Luke 6:27-28-

"A new command I give you: Love one another.
As I have loved you, so you must love one another.
By this all men will know that you are my disciples,
if you love one another."

-John 13:34-35-

~God's love is unconditional!!!~

Treasure

Treasure.. menghargai.. appreciate..
I've seen lots of examples within these few days.
Tony, Yin Hao, Robert, ...
Everyone reminds me about treasuring what you have right now.

Someone told me,
what will you do if you left only 6 months life?
Appreciate!
Back to reality, you are now still having long way to go.
So, what should we do?
Appreciate what you have now..

"In his heart a man plans his course,
but the LORD determines his steps."

-Proverbs 16:9-

-Let everything be done according to His will.-

"Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things."

-Colossians 3:2-

Don't ever give up!

Once again, I gave myself a try to go back to OCF.
It turned out to be having much more unfamiliar feelings.
After one and a half month of not being to OCF,
my spiritual growth dropped abruptly.
And yes, without God, we are just nothing!
The faith in God, took me for a long time to develop.
And yet, it took just few seconds to destroy it!
Temptations from devils, satans, ... it's nasty!
Hugs transferred uncountable cares.
Love is definitely surrounding us.
Most of all, He loves us!
The verse that strike me the most that day was from Matthew 6:33

"But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness,
and all these things will be given to you as well."

What happened was:
Daniel reminded me about this verse as he said that "God must be first in our life as Christians!"
Then, Ashley, again told us this verse when we were encouraged to read bible together.
After coming back from OCF, I realised that the verse sticking on my mirror was Matthew 6:33 as well!
It was so amazing!
James shared that he was stroked with a same verse over and over again as well.
And now, it happened in me.
Well, time to refresh God's word.
I believe that He is trying to talk to me and guide me in my life.

"I can do everything through him who gives me strength."

-Philipians 4:13-

Without God, we are nothing.
With God, nothing is impossible.
Don't give up!

"Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me,
or seen in me -- put it into practice.
And the God of peace will be with you."

-Philipians 4:9-

"Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine
and puts them into practice is like a wise man
who built his house on the rock.
The rain came down,
the streams rose,
and the winds blew
and beat against that house;
yet it did not fall,
because it had its foundation on the rock."

-Matthew 7:24-25-

No more tears!!!

In the process of trying to be strong..
In the journey of preparing to be moulded..
Tear, tear, go away...
Be strong in christ, Yvonne!

"If the LORD had not been on our side when men attacked us,
when their anger flared against us,
they would have swallowed us alive;
the flood would have engulfed us,
the torrent would have swept over us,
the raging waters would have swept us away."

-Psalm 124:2-5-

Memorable Day - Newly Born Yvonne

曾经一次一次的受伤，
放弃的念头不停打转，
没有人了解我的心情，
眼中有泪，心中有痛，
对于未来不再期盼！
来到了不同的环境，
又一次次的受试探，
看透了世界的黑暗！
挣扎了一个月半，
默默的放弃，
默默的离开，
失落和伤痛，
没人能体会。
如今的我已失去方向！

2008年9月13日，
中秋前夕，我的农历生日，
莫名的勇气让我终于决志，
再次打开心门让神走进来。
相信这必定是神所赐的最大的礼物！
心中无比的喜悦，
沉重的背负顿时消失，
一时之间脑子空白了。

In christ,
I'm a newly born Yvonne today.
With God,
nothing is impossible!
我要再次站起来!!!

永不离弃的慈爱，
医治我的伤害，
因为拥有你的爱，
我必能重新站起来！
因为如今活着，
是神的恩典，
你必使我软弱的手坚强！
别怕！！！神与你同在！！！
Yvonne, 加油啊！！！
因主而刚强！！
上帝始终没有离开你！！

Kangaroo Island - Updates

22-23/08/2008 @ Victor Harbour & Kangaroo Island Exploration

Poor Misty

Bridge from Victor Harbour to Granite Island

On the SEALINK big ferry...
We were halfway to Kangaroo Island!

YHA - Our place for overnight...

Our dinner when we reached there...

The best food that we can find when we reached there...

Super BIG 16 inches PIZZA!!!

Seal Bay

Countless sheeps along the way...

The windmills

Wanna fight?
One of the cows was pee-ing actually.. wakaka..

Clifford's Honey Farm
(We thought of seeing bees and tasting honeycomb...
But, we saw no bees, no honeycomb... kinda disappointed..)

Anyway, there were still lots of honey for sale.

And the most wonderful thing was: we got to taste the so called famous
HONEY ICE CREAM!!!

Bee King (Sharon) & Bee Queen (Yvonne)

Where were they moving to?

The best place after so long travelling!!

Guess where's that?
Saudi Arabia?

In fact, it's Little Sahara!!
Cool~

Mooray Bay? Vivionne Bay?
(not sure..)

Listening to other people describing it until indescribable..

End up like this..

(Nothing much different from normal beach I guess..)

Kelly Hill Caves
A place where most of the trees were striked by the lightnings!

I thought we're going to have something like Gua Tempurung caving..
But.. it just a small tour and description about the cave.
A cave which sensed the earthquake in Si Chuan.

Stalagmit.. S... forgot all the historic names..

Stone?
A popular place to go.. just for seeing stones..

Another stone?

The main part of Kangaroo Island!

Historical Stone in Kangaroo Island

Push push!

Power firing~

Half dry half green.. It's specialty..

No more seals at Seal Bay?
Look for more here..
(Admiral’s Arch - New Zealand Fur Seal Breeding Area)

What's that?

What's these? Stones again?

Zoom in and see!!!

It's a seal!!!
Besides sleeping, still sleeping..

What's he doing?

Seal attack!!!

Nice view where seals were found..

Trip ended here under the light house..

Our pity car after the long way of dirt road..

Time to wash the car!!

24/08/2008 @ Hahndorf German Village

These were what we had before the gang went back to Melbourne.

**************************************
Again, it's a wonderful trip on the little island of about 4,000 people.
It's a good experience to have a drive on the whole island,
reading the map,
searching for ways,
asking for directions,
seeing dead kangaroos,
chasing the guard dog,
counting the sheeps,
staring at cows...
it's small yet adventurous!

Either taking a long way to go to another spot
OR
remain at the same spot and always meet up with the same people.

Dirt road OR main road?

Aim for excitement OR dull?

It's a kind of decision making trip.

**************************************
Life is short yet up and down.
It's full of decisions which are going to be made.
What kind of life do you want?
Are we going to move on or stopping there?
Make your own decision..

For me, I'd rather say that I'm proud because..
I felt secure in the pity CRV..
and I just have to be a full time PIG along the way.
Also, having a chance to know each other more,
a chance to know who's the snoring king,
(luckily there's no snoring queen),
a chance to get closer to each other..
making the trip reaching the fullest!
Thanks for the exciting trip..
Full of satisfaction..
