No matter where we are, in the valleys, in the meadows, stuck at home cramming or at work rushing proposals, it's indeed a comfort to know that God is always there watching over us and loving us ever so deeply every second of every day(:
Here are some of God's promises to live by that I read on a poster in my study room! May they encourage you even when you approach the next few days, weeks and months of toiling and moiling for...well, your future (:

Even as some of us may feel the stress of exams and tests pounding down on us, let's not forget that our source of hope and strength, especially in life's stormiest times can only be found in Christ alone.
Often times, we worry so much that we forget about what's more important-which is to praise God in every circumstance. Even after being a Christian so long, that's still something I'm trying to learn. To thank God for everything, good and bad.
This picture reminds me about the peace that God grants my heart everytime I tell Him how afraid I am about things and whenever I feel pressurized. Wouldn't it be nice to physically be in that place in the picture, and soak up the peaceful atmosphere?? Yes, it would be nice! But we can soak up the peace of God even here in Singapore amongst the hot and humid weather. We can find that same peace and tranquility in God(:
Even as you go through the week, be bold and be strong for the Lord thy God is with you! Remeber that with Him, there won't be any fear, so go through all obstacles you may face with the faith that God is there, seeing you through, through it all!
Sharing a beautiful poem with you by Helen S. Rice,
May peace and understanding
Give you strength, and courage, too
And may the hours and days ahead
Hold a new hope for you;
For the sorrow that is yours today
Will pass away and then
You'll find the sun of happiness
Will shine for you again
There is hope in our Father, Jesus Christ(: So let's celebrate this newfound hope in Jesus as we go through the week by thanking for everything, good or bad, big or small.
Love,
Alison

Sometimes all we need to do is be STILL and know that HE is God.(: (Psalm 46)
Today God impressed on my heart Jeremiah 29:11, one of my favourite verses in the bible; and yet have never seemed as close and personal as it was today!
"For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Plans to give you a hope and bright future."
Jeremiah 29:11
Whatever opportunity or obstacle in our life, let's continue to remember that everything is part of God's plan for our lives, and to be encouraged by the fact that He is going to use us as his instruments and disciples, and that each and everyone is going to shine one day and is a precious daughter in his sight!
Sharing with you a beautiful poem of Helen Steiner Rice's:
With faith, let go and let God lead the way
Into a brighter and less troubled day
For God has a plan for everyone,
If we learn to pray 'Thy will be done'
For nothing in life is without God's design
For each life is fashioned by the hand that's divine
At all times, give thanks and cast your burdens to the Lord, and you can be assured that He will see you through even the stormiest times of your life!
Love, Alison
