Be Still.

 Be still in the presence of the LORD, and wait patiently for him to act. Don't worry about evil people who prosper or fret about their wicked schemes.

Psalm 37:7

Be really tired recently, think its time I need my long break to refresh!

[Song on loop for today]

 Water, You turned into wine
Opened the eyes of the blind
There's no one like You
None like You

Into the darkness, You shine
Out of the ashes we rise
There's no one like You
None like You

Our God is greater
Our God is stronger
God, You are higher than any other
Our God is healer
Awesome in power
Our God, our God

Into the darkness, You shine
Out of the ashes, we rise
There's no one like You
None like You

Our God is greater
Our God is stronger
God, You are higher than any other
Our God is healer
Awesome in power
Our God, our God

Our God is greater
Our God is stronger
God, You are higher than any other
Our God is healer
Awesome in power
Our God, our God

And if our God is for us
Then who could ever stop us
And if our God is with us
Then what could stand against

And if our God is for us
Then who could ever stop us
And if our God is with us
Then what could stand against
Then what could stand against

Our God is greater
Our God is stronger
God, You are higher than any other
Our God is healer
Awesome in power
Our God, our God

Our God is greater
Our God is stronger
God, You are higher than any other
Our God is healer
Awesome in power
Our God, our God

And if our God is for us
Then who could ever stop us
And if our God is with us
Then what could stand against

And if our God is for us
Then who could ever stop us
And if our God is with us
Then what could stand against
What could stand against
What could stand against

A word for you

In the midst of my worrying about the funding and all, God still managed to speak to me through Chubbs. There are just some days, I'm just too tired to open up the bible, even press that app in my phone. So today was one of those days.

Then as I was telling God to give me a word, something simple for my to digest since I don't want to read my bible. He sent Chubbs as His messenger:

HOPE!
I believe The Lord wants to say to you not to have anxiety for what's to come but to stay hopeful. The same hope you had when you first knew Him, and in the same way you will be bringing more you are about to touch. That he wants to carry the message of HOPE through you! Remember how you have be refined by him, people will see that through you. The impossible made possible through Christ.

And that linked me to 2 verses I would like to share...

Psalms 119:49

Psalms 119:114


Hope they speak to you too.

Oceans Wide

 

"Ocean Wide"

Look outside
It's already light and the stars ran away with the night
Things we're said, words that we'll try forget,
it's so hard to admit I know we've made mistakes
I see through all the tears but that's what got us here

[Chorus:]
If love is an ocean wide
We'll swim in the tears we cry
They'll see us through to the other side
We're gonna make it
When love is a raging sea
You can hold on to me
We'll find a way tonight
Love is an ocean wide

I'll stay right here
It's where I'll always belong
Tied with your arms
Days like this, I wish the sun wouldn't set
I don't want to forget
What made us feel this way
You see through all my fears
And that's what got us here

[Chorus]

Love is an ocean wide enough to forget
Even when we think we can't

New found song that has been on repeat these few days. :)

Its been quite a tiring week but...

I already have so much stuff planned out to do during my weekends. What about you?

Patience

It's been a week and the funds are moving a little slow. I know that this is when I need to be still and wait upon him. Not to let my humanly emotions get in the way of His plans. Only through my weakness then His glory can shine through the brightest!

Love

Having been through a break and patch relationship in the past... there's one very very important lesson that I took away...

If I had love with just my emotions, I probably wouldn't have married my husband. My mood swings up and down, left and right. I get angry, I don't talk, I get piss, please stay away, I get annoyed, I get violent, I have all these emotions day to day even I don't know when I'm going to get affected by my emotions. They come and go. If my relationship were to depend on that it probably would be been long gone.

It's not just a one way thing. Both of us lived by that.

There are times when the fear of commitment kicks in, fear of losing your alone time, sometimes you can't stand living with each other habits guess what...

Well it's one the best stuff I could advise for relationships.

Freedom

After yesterday's sharing from Leon Ellis Lee, one of the quote from LOTR jumped up at me which is the above.

 ---

Jesus replied, “I tell you the truth, everyone who sins is a slave of sin. A slave is not a permanent member of the family, but a son is part of the family forever. So if the Son sets you free, you are truly free.

John 8:34-36

100 Verses One Heart

View Kickstarter project here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/1065422571/100-verses-one-heart

IT'S FINALLY LIVE!!! OH YEAH!!!!!!!!!! PRAISE GOD!!!!

How the project came about?

It's so amazing how God has planned for this project to kick off, I think it kinda of started at the beginning of last year when I decided to do little doodles of the verses that speak to me everyday posting them on my instagram. Then I had people telling me that the verses really speak to them, sometimes it's really what they needed to see, a confirmation. Till one day last year, I felt this heavy heart that hey there's so many designers out there like me, wanting to design with a purpose and for someone you love.

It happened in Nov 2013, when I told Natty about this project I have in my mind about bringing 100 designers from all over the world to come together to design their favorite verses. Then the name "100 Verses" came about. I'm like wow this is probably the most interesting thing I have ever done in my lifetime, not that I'm super old. But working together with the other 99 designers, it seems like a too big a dream to come true, but I believe our God is greater than all things.

So we decided to craft and email to "sell" this idea to the other designers and artists to come on-board. Since my copy partner is on leave in Italy, I manage to get Kyeli my other awesome copywriter friend to help me kinda of fix the wording of the letter that I drafted. From Nov 2013 - Mar 2014, I have sent about 500 over emails to the different designers, even posted a couple of posts on my instagram looking for designers. I've been looking through Pinterest / Instagram / Behance / Dribble all over the social platforms to find the designers. Thank God for who didn't think I'm like a spam, replied and believed in this vision that I had. I did have to face rejection but also made a lot of new friends! To the designers who came along - Thank you!

Half way through the process, my husband was having a conversation with me on this project. He was saying that the name seems quite generic, since all the designers are united as one. How about calling it "100 Verses One Heart" even though we are so far apart, but we are united in Him.

Then looking through Kickstarter, we decided we needed to have a video to better sell this dream. Filmed it in a hot Saturday noon with Natty, but we weren't really very happy with it. For weeks to months we've been trying to correct it. Thank God for Dawn, who helped me to craft a really nice script that encapsulate the whole thought behind the video, that totally nailed it. Also want to thank Roseanne for her beautiful voice as always. Thanks Natty for doing up the video, although you tried to get me jailed for using a branded song, but its ok I still love you. =p Finally after many edits, we are pleased with the video, and I uploaded them on Kickstarter. This is my first time starting a project on Kickstarter, it really easy to use! So to all the creatives out there, if you have any project that needs funding, I strongly recommend using Kickstarter.

So on Feb 24 2014, I sent in the video for approval, before that I had to bugged Jade who is probably busy with her baby (she just gave birth) to help me with the bank details. Really have to thank them to trust their bank account details with me!

Today, it starting to come together so beautifully! Thank God for the people he has placed for this project, and the people around me who has supported me in one way or another :) It has been a long process and the journey has just began...

I will be updating the artwork hopefully daily on www.facebook.com/100verses

Hopefully after reading all these thoughts, you would help back the project up =D
