more than enough

the answer to 'how much more...'

because He is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us.

today's service at New Crea was good! praise and worship kicked off with the song 'Everybody Ought to Know'; He's the lily of the valley... He's the bright and morning star... (yesh EC, i was thinking of you when we sang that. even though u were right beside me. hahah, mi estrella de la manana *winkz*)

it brought back memories of Sunday School. sometimes i miss singing these kid's songs. so deceptively plain and simple, yet so meaningful. i mean, come on, who hasn't heard of 'Jesus Loves Me This I Know...' it doesn't have all the fanciful words and lyrics, yet the message comes across so strongly.

the main point of the sermon that came across to me was that i should be giving thanks.it's human to murmur and complain. esp us singaporeans. i, for one, seem to be able to find fault with everything under the sun. somehow it's nvr good enough. and i'm nvr satisfied. there's always something found wanting or lacking.

and yet, how often do we stop think think about how little we lack. i should be giving thanks for all that i have; realising that i have so much; that i am abundantly blessed.
so Lord, pls help me to see all You've done for me and to trust in Your amazing goodness.

next pt of the sermon was about how giving thanks for the people around you is actually a way of blessing them. well, J would like to take the chance to thank all you guys whom i know personally. friends whom i love and appreciate. i know i seldom show it and i tend to take you guys for granted. but yes, you guys have been such great blessings in my life. this includes pple like YW, whom i chatted to recently, he's one of those i seldom contact, but i always view as a friend whom i can turn to anytime. and then there are the ones who add little bursts of sunshine into my day every so often with pleasant surprises. J's loving her new earrings *winkz*
like EC says, we're freaking blessed! hahaha

well, it's time for J to start preparing for bed. haven't been sleeping too early these past few nights. hopefully i drift off to sleep before 1am tonight. hahah
