But the longer we wait, the larger we become, and the more joyful our expectancy.
26-28 Meanwhile, the moment we get tired in the waiting, God’s Spirit is right alongside helping us along. If we don’t know how or what to pray, it doesn’t matter. He does our praying in and for us, making prayer out of our wordless sighs, our aching groans. He knows us far better than we know ourselves, knows our pregnant condition, and keeps us present before God. That’s why we can be so sure that every detail in our lives of love for God is worked into something good.
-The Message-
I woke up unhappy this morning.
Sigh, it’s the exam season. It’s making me go off-tangent. Drat it.
like a train on a track like spokes inside a wheel
involuntary motion like rolling down hill
and there’s no way to stop it

I’m having cabin fever again. When Code Monkey and Oreo McFlurry constantly pops up in my mind, i KNOW i’ve got cabin fever. *hint*
It’s not that interesting but I’d like to keep it a secret,
And have something left to give.

I see through the glass ceiling. And i’m all for being on the other side. I need to break through. Not make a teeny crack.
Life seems but a quick succession of busy nothings. – Jane Austen
May i never get there. I’m exhausted physically. But passion wins the day. All the time :)

I’ve been dreaming too much lately. So much so that I’m convinced i’ve finally hit the ground.
And I’m flying so high
High off the ground
When you’re around.
-Flying High-Jem-
I deserve more than that. *casts out demon of gullibility*
What do you see in me? How can you believe in what i can do…more than what i know i can?
I’m afraid that i’ll let you down somehow. Can You make more Ellie’s please? *sheepishly*

They only hurt when you run them under water.
It says in the bible, “But whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.” – 2 Corinthians 3:16
Like your sins, they’re only revealed to you when you have Jesus, the living water, in your life.
We become acutely aware of our nature, when we turn to God. Like how we’d be acutely aware that we have papercuts, when we run them under water.
I stared at my papercuts today. And i’m only too aware of my imperfections.
But Christ’s love compels me to come back to Him again and again. Even if what He has to work in me sting like papercuts. So i fix my eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen.
There’s hope, still :)

The rain makes the prospect of studying seem gloomier. *sadfaced* Doesn’t help that i’m craving for an Oreo McFlurry.
Another rainy day
I can’t recall having sunshine on my face
All I feel is pain
All I wanna do is walk out of this place
But when I am stuck and I can’t move
When I don’t know what I should do
When I wonder if I’ll ever make it through
I gotta keep singing
I gotta keep praising Your name
You’re the one that’s keeping my heart beating
I gotta keep singing
I gotta keep praising Your name
That’s the only way that I’ll find healing
Can I climb up in Your lap
I don’t wanna leave
Jesus sing over me
I gotta keep singing
Oh You’re everything I need
And I gotta keep singing.
-Keep Singing-MercyMe-
On nights like these, i revel in my solitude. *smiles with eyes closed*

More than a conqueror. Yesh. Singing 3 services is no problem :P
I have much to learn. It’s…hard…always being so self-conscious of my actions. And how they’re being interpreted. Or read. Or judged. Not that i mind…it’s just…tiring. Being the daft person i can be sometimes, i think i may need someone to thwap me on the head with a bamboo stick every time i do something stoopid.
I had a good long “think” on the drive home. On taking personal responsibility of my own dealings. Oh, little deaths. Managing my own expectations indeed!
Lord, i need Your true north. I need to know i’m heading where You want me to be.
All of my regret will wash away somehow,
But i cannot forget the way i feel right now.
In these small hours, these little wonders,
These twists & turns of fate…
-Little Wonders-Rob Thomas-
Focus, Ellie, focus. Just walk with Me.

I blog-hopped today and was inspired by Eunice’s blatant admission to having a safety pillow. SO, i decided to do a post on 6-things-you-never-knew-about-me-or-didn’t-notice-until-i-told-you-in-this-post. Ta-da! This is gonna be fun :) Trust me.
6 Things You Never Knew About Ellie
- I still have MY safety pillow. No kidding. I’m not so attached to it now, but i used to bring it EVERYWHERE. Every holiday, every trip back to hometown. Thank God i didn’t go camping much :D
- I love siu yoke (read : roasted pork). If i had to choose between siu yoke to plain ol’ chicken rice, the lil’ porkie wins hoofs down.
- I do work on my bed. Yes, it ain’t good for my posture and yes, i’ve heard all those theories to keep your bed as a “place of rest”. I turned out okay, right???
- I have a flat thumb. You didn’t know? Awwwwww. Come see :D If you can tell me which hand before seeing it, i’ll give you a cookie.
- 3 things i’d be attracted to in the opposite sex : his smile, sense of humour and convictions.
- I have a sensitive nose. But i love perfumes. I could prolly tell what perfume you’re wearing now ;)
There you go, the 6 things you didn’t know about me ;) Told you it’d be fun. Teehee.
*******************************************************************
3 things that pop into my head often :
- Random songs.
- Ice cream.
- You.
Paul says, “God loves a cheerful giver.” How much He must love those who cheerfully give themselves to His dealings. I’ve got much to learn.
Billy anyone? :)

Red lights can be pretty. Just butterflies won’t do.
It’s nice to know that You give white lines and red lights to liberate. Not restrain.
