New Look ....
Hi all, I've decided to give the PIC blog a new look .... and it's now done ! Anyway, C-nana has gone back to Aus to start her new academic year .... press on !!! E-nana, Esther and I are all busy with our work and all of us are being tried and tested at this moment. As to how long we can tahan, we really dunno, but we are praying for God to be with us everyday in every decision we make and in every step we take. I just want to encourage my fellow PIC with this insight from one of my favourite author A.W.Tozer ...
Face Down, Listening
Then Abram fell on his face, and God talked with him, saying: "As for Me, behold, My covenant is with you, and you shall be a father of many nations." --Genesis 17:3-4
The Scriptures declare, "Abram fell on his face" as the Lord talked with him (Genesis 17:3). Abraham was reverent and submissive. Probably there is no better picture anywhere in the Bible of the right place for mankind and the right place for God. God was on His throne speaking, and Abraham was on his face listening!
Where God and man are in relationship, this must be the ideal. God must be the communicator, and man must be in the listening, obeying attitude. If men and women are not willing to assume this listening attitude, there will be no meeting with God in living, personal experience.... Yes, Abraham was lying face down in humility and reverence, overcome with awe in this encounter with God. He knew that he was surrounded by the world's greatest mystery. The presence of this One who fills all things was pressing in upon him, rising above him, defeating him, taking away his natural self-confidence. God was overwhelming him and yet inviting and calling him, pleading with him and promising him a great future as a friend of God! Men Who Met God, 21-22.
"In this fast-paced, busy life, Lord, we don't spend nearly enough time face down before You. Tozer talks of lying flat on his face in his study in prayer; draw me to this position of humility and reverence more often this year, I pray. Amen."

3.2.1.
time to countdown. yucks. finally with my fingers instead of my toes n fingers. time flies. many things changed. some for the better, others, with a tinge of unfamiliarity. new things form, some old things remain. take for example our all time fave past time- ktv-ing.
e-nana is right, this is one of my most meaningful times back. time seems to past by faster when ur having a meaningful time, in a blinks of the eye, its abt time to halt all these, a comma? or a full stop? in this case i'd rather view it as the comma.
transitions transitions transitions..yet the word of the Lord remains forever n unchanged. wat a comfort.
i pray that the 3 of u will press on strong, and i noe u guys will. another trial, another testing, and also another phrase of breakthrough. so press on, hang on tight, He will not give u more than wat u cant bear, for He noes our limits.
the greatest thing? He loves as so much more den we can ever imagine. every little n big thing will be take care in Him.
jia you guys!!
