Andrew's Tiny Adventure, Chapter 60- The Remainder, In Dedication !!

From: Steamed Face
In Dedication to my Close Friend (who's half as blur :P)

Jeeezz, I woke up from a bad dream again (And I actually jumped). The last thing i remember, some figure tried to snuff the life out of me. BAAAAD way to kick start a time for revision, now my head is cracking from the disturbance >_< .

So I've decided to put my revision aside (and I know fairly well I shouldn't) to calm myself down, and to think about all the things that has come and gone. So here and some of the question that I took for granted. I might not be an outspoken person, but at least I know the answers to the question.

But before that, first and foremost, I would like to say

--THANK YOU :)

thank you for everything you have done as a close friend, I sincerely appreciate it :)

Supprised huh how a person only starts to appreciate one another when they realize time is short--

So you ask me, why am I treating you so good?
--Because you are a close friend of mine? not good enough for an answer ? then read below LOL !!
-All I can say is this, as far as I'm bad at counting, I know fairly well the time I have left- and it's slowly ticking away. It has been awesome knowing you, I'm glad. But I really regretted that I din't came to know you earlier. So for the remainder of what it is left, I want to put it into good use :) . You have been a good listener and advisor when I needed one, you don't mind me venting (did I vent out before? hmm), and you are trying you best to make me not-so-carnivore (which I'm really thankful and greatful for that). I might be blur (steamed face) all the time, but you've kept me in check on what's going on around me. Sometimes, I do wonder what happens one day if my memory ceased to function properly, will I remember all the good times we had? Will I remember all the good advise you gave? Will I remember all the good jokes/ lame jokes/ aimed-at-me jokes we did? All I could say is, I don't know what's gonna happen, but at least I'm trying my best to keep it all alive.

I'm blur and forgetful, but I'm not lacking in terms of awareness
-yeah, thanks for all the poking of how forgetfull am I, or how blur am I. I should get my specs changed soon, that way at least I dont look sooooooooo nerdy or you-have-that-day-dreaming-face anymore. Having said that, I'm still a law student whom study law + psychology+ (previous self defence practitioner and trainer). Add up the equation and you'll get a student whose blur and forgetful, but also a sharp person.
Wait, have I already mentioned this in my post earlier? *steamed face* LOL

After all is said, sometimes I really wish time wasn't that cruel. It was short living, but one thing I know, you'll always be a great-close friend of mine.

I'm gonna miss all the fun and the lameness times we had. Most of all, I'm gonna seriously miss you :P
.....but hey, we can still keep in touch right? It's only half a globe across, ain't that far, really :)

God might be telling us something, I might not know it now, but time will tell :)

Andrew's Tiny Adventure, Chapter 59- Thoughts of the Day !!

If you never questioned your beliefs, - you are just a puppet dancing to somebody's strings. If God had wanted your mindless obedience, you would've been created without mind and without free will. But you have both so you can come to God of your own accord. Just look at the lives of saints, - most of them had gone through a dark night of the soul, and that's why their faith was so strong. The path to true faith always goes through doubt. So ask those questions you've always been afraid to ask, and find the answers, and then your faith will become unshakable.

Andrew's Tiny Adventure, Chapter 58- Rhythm !!

By: Rob Bell - Rhythm

When I think of God, I hear a song.

Jesus is like God taking on flesh and blood, and so in his generosity, in his compassion, that's what God's like.
In his telling of the truth, that's what God's like.
In his love, forgiveness, and sacrifice, that's what God's like.
That's who God is. That's how the song goes.

The song is playing all around us all the time, the song is playing everywhere, it's written in our hearts, and everybody is playing the song.
See, the question isn't whether or not you are playing a song, the question is : "are you in tune? "

So may you come to see that the song is written on your heart. And as you live in tune with the song and in tune with the creator of the universe, may you realize that you are in relationship with the living God.

Andrew's Tiny Adventure, Chapter 57- Give me 40 Days !!

(writting that was given by the Holy Spirit to Karen Hart)

Give Me 40 days-
How more scriptural could it be,
And will I not answer
Those who seek me?

What is the greatest need in your life?
It's not too great for Me,
So give Me 40 days
And the answer you will see.

Read My Word and pray
And I will become larger than the need.
When your eyes look to Me,
I will reveal the answer that's to be.

Those who seek My Face
Will hear My Voice
For as their God,
I am their Choice

And all they need
Will be given by Me
Because to Me
They have bowed their knee

Andrew's Tiny Adventure, Chapter 56- I still Believe !!

Scattered words and empty thoughts
Seem to pour from my heart
I've never felt so torn before
Seems I don't know where to start

But its now, that I feel, your grace fall like rain
From every fingertip washing away my pain


I still believe in your faithfulness
I still believe in your truth
I still believe in your holy word
Even when I don't see, I still believe


Though the questions still fog up my mind
With promises I still seem to bear
Even when answers slowly unwind
It's my heart I see you prepare

But its now, that I feel, your grace fall like rain
From every fingertip washing away my pain


I still believe in your faithfulness
I still believe in your truth
I still believe in your holy word
Even when I don't see, I still believe


Well the only place I can go is into your arms
Where I throw to you my feeble prayers
Well in brokenness
I can see that this was your will for me
Help me to know that you are near


I still believe in your faithfulness
I still believe in your truth
I still believe in your holy word
Even when I don't see, I still believe

-I still believe

Andrew's Tiny Adventure, Chapter 55- Word of Comfort !!

Psalm 23 says:

(1)The Lord is my sheperd, I shall not be in want.

(2)He makes me lie down in green pastures,
He leads me beside quiet waters,

(3)He restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness
for his name's sake.

(4)Even though I walk
through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.

(5)You prepare a table for me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.

(6)Surely goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of Lord forever.


A chapter of comfort but notice in verse 3 it still says whatever comfort he gaves and whatever path that your are to be assigned to, is for His name sake. Therefore, what I can say is: His path might be totally unexpected from what you might have expected- so prepare yourself for a roller-coaster ride.

Yet having said so, the whole chapter is about how David reminds us that God will always be there as a guidance and comforter. We might be thrown into what-not/ who-knows kind of situation, but at least, the consolation is there: God is there, no matter how hard it is.

As I mentioned in my previous post, there's times when even my faith is shaken badly. Yet, here's God, telling us not to worry, and here's King David, telling us the same thing as well.

Therefore, the question here is: Are we prepared to walk, to be comforted, and to be guided in the path of righteousness for His name's sake?
Are you prepared to say :" Jesus, I lay down my life to you, do whatever you think fit to it?"
I have to admit, I wasn't truly prepared when I said the prayers long time ago. Don't get me wrong, I'm not turning back. My point is, when you pray, be prepared to recieve what you ask-

And know that, even if you came unprepared for what's coming, know that God, as mentioned in the psalm above, will be there. He's the Jehovah Jireh and Jehovah Shalom. :)

Andrew's Tiny Adventure, Chapter 54- Seeking for Forgiveness !!

These couple of days have been a daunting-uphill task. Am either spacing out starring at blanks, or the void is suddenly crammed with all sort of thoughts. I thought I could maintain a sense of perfect peace, but deep down inside, something is burning so strong that if I unleash it, everything will start crashing down.

The burden is so heavy to bear sometimes- too heavy.

Imagine this, what if God decided to drop by and tell you :"Like it or not, your are gonna walk a lone, treacherous road for 8 years, and in this eight years, let my work be done upon you and in you- have faith in Me, though your boat might be shaken badly, I'll always be there to lift you out if you fell into the lake"

I thought I could withstand anything that's thrown in my way- but I've already starting to feel the pain- a great pain that is inside me. I'm afraid I couldn't endure till' the very end. I'm affraid that I could not endure for eight whole years. My heart pains at the long years that has been laid down infront of me.

And I ask for forgiveness, for not being able to accept defeat, for not trusting the Lord with all my heart, and I ask for santification of my thoughts, for in my anger I turn my thoughts away from the Lord, and I became foolish. Foolish enough to listen to what was raging in my heart and my thoughts.

Lord, forgive me of my sins, forgive me of my foolishness, forgive my recklessness- and provide me the strenght to endure the years to come, even if it means if I have to walk the earth in solitude.
What I ask for Lord, is to never abandon me in times of need, rebuke me when I've done something foolish. Lord, have mercy on this repentant soul.


Psalm 32: 4- 7 :

For day and night your hands were heavy upon me;
my strenght was sapped as in the heat of summer.

Then I acknowledge my sin to you
and did not cover up my intiquity.
I said,
"I will confess the transgressions to the Lord-
and you forgave the guilty of my sin.

Therefore let everyone who is Godly
pray to you while you may be found;
surely when the mighty water rises,
they will not reach him.

You are my hiding place;
you will protect me from trouble
and surround me with songs of deliverance.
