A blink of an eye, it's alr February. In fact, it's coming to the end and here comes the month of march. Things have been good, cause God is good, asusual:) well, Cus many things hv been good and God just never fails to show me His goodness that's in my life.
Also, in my realization, I can't believe I can survive through without studying for 2months. And I REALLY MISS SCHOOL. It's just so weird when my friends are studying and I'm not. I hope, it will not stop. Somehow, I'm afraid of the feeling of being schooless. And till a point, there comes regretful thoughts in my head about why did I not study hard enough in the first place. Especially in primary school days. That affects me through out. I have seriously have the thought of wanting to go to JC and take Olevels too. It's kind of depressing sometimes to see how my friends who are all so ahead of me. But well, something hit me recently that, though I have regrets in my life but ultimately, God has place me at where I am with a purpose. Like what the verse in Jeremiah said "For I know the plans I have for you," says the Lord. "They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope." -29:11 and even today, when pastor lip spoke, he mentioned that ' it is not about the abilities or how good we are in life but it is about the divine appointment that God has for us.' and so, I have really been praying that God will show me soon, a direction in my life, whether a not is to study or whatever He had place. But friends, please pray together with me too if u are reading this. Just to assure that in this race of my life, in not alone:)

Life has been so good to me. That is because, GOD IS GOOD. And I have been so thankful for every single thing He had place in my life: people, things, and more. Remembering the good times and bad times, the UP and the DOWN times in my life, through those situations, God had brought me out of those, and had make me stronger. Through the testing and moulding in my life, He had brought me to a greater height.
God have also started to show me many things in my life that He is directing me to. The directions and plans in my life start to be so clear whereby somehow, I know that I have no doubt in where/what I will/want to do/become, in the future.
Having been away from school for 2months and more, it never been a boring or yet a 'do nothing' period for me. But yet, in this period, it really taught me a lot, about discipline. I knew that most of the time I'm working and didn't had time to spend time with God, or will be too tired when I reach home, that's when discipline comes. God taught me a lot through the things in my life, even work/people that in everything, I still got to learn to be discipline and spending time with Him. Even if it's 10mins.
I'm sure to believe that Greater things are yet to come. God is bringing many people in to a greater/higher level and I'm witnessing it now, even in my cell.
Last thing to share about is that, I'm so proud of the younger girls in my cell. Or rather, seeing the younger ones raising up. So grateful and thankful for my beloved cell. Seeing how God had mould and taught our cell so much things and He also brings unity into the cell too. Seeing how our cell growing. WOW, I smell/see revival.
Thank YOU, G:)

I have also remembered about what Pastor Pat preached about, few years back at our very own youth camp, CAMP K.O. 2009. It was a spirit-filled moment with the power of God’s love. I still remember that how everyone was touched after walking through the door at he’s message about the secret place. I had my own personal encounter with the Lord, at that very year.
Few years later, yesterday, Pastor Pat spoke again at our very own Gen conference. I really love listening to him preached. He preached a VERY REAL message and God never fails to show up at all three sessions that night.
(It really changed my life) I love how God shows up to me, not just as my God/saviour but as MY DADDY, MY FATHER:D
Pastor Pat talks about “WHY IS GOD MAD AT ME”, at the 3rd session. A very powerful message telling us who God really is to us. Probably sometimes, we are confused and think that we are all not good enough for Him to love us. Some even blame God when bad situations hit us. A second thought: “is God mad at me?”
That night, it breaks every mindset that I have between me and God. That I don’t have to be always the one running to Him, but yet, He is running towards me, embracing me in His arms. Also, again, God Himself has brought me back to my past: about my family, mum & dad.
Pastor Pat mentioned about how he will dance with his daughter, Abby, talks to her and brings her out. Basically, to be there with her. At that very moment, I tear. Not because that I’m sad about where I was being brought up in a broken family but I knew that though I didn’t had the chance to do all those with my earthly daddy but I have, with my HEAVENLY DAD.
Probably, He had brought forth a shadow image about how my DAD and I are walking together, hand in hand at the park. Embracing me in His arms, running towards me. I had never felt that way before, but yesterday, I DID. He is truly Great and a loving DAD. I couldn’t imagine how it will be like dancing with my DADDY when I’m in heaven with Him. I will probably dance with Him, NON-STOP.
A FATHERLY IMAGE THAT HAS PRINTED IN MY MIND. At that moment when I shouted, DAD, I couldn’t stop crying! Because I have known that I have a GREAT DADDY, after all.
(HE IS SO SO SUPER REAL) I’m amazed and glad to be a child of HIS own very image:D
With love,

Most of the time when things doesn't goes right in my life, I realize that God is always so Sweet in showing and placing things/people (sometimes) in my life, to of cause through those, to remind me about His goodness! That in all things, He still have a purpose and plans for me and you, no matter what has happen!
So this really come to me so deeply that in all things, we should praise Him no matter good or bad! But especially at bad times, we still praise!
Example: JOB and DAVID!
One who I admire in the bible!
And it taught me like in all things, we praise and worship Him!
"Let everything that has breathe praise the Lord"
Truly thankful for such a Great Father, Lover, Saviour that I have and known in my life!
In Him, I found life and purpose to run my race for! He is good and gracious!
In all, I rejoice:)
Thank You G:)!

It has been really long seen i last blog. But anyway, just wanna share what has been happening in my life lately. There are so many things in my life, that recently, God had brought me to a realization, Is to FOCUS hard.
Is like, the things we do sometimes, or even preparing things to do, it makes me confuse about what to do and what's the out come of it! I still pray, read the bible.. etc but yet, nothing comes! hmmmm.. i know that, sometimes, God doesn't answer our prayer straight away but He STILL answer. It just matter of time, I suppose.
But what i meant was, example: preparing of Bible Study! (that is something that i struggle with)! when it comes to preparing, i dont know what to do and tend to depend it on my on strength! (on what i know, basically. Knowledge) When time past, i realise that is way harder to depend on my own strength and like what i always do, by what i know!
Thank God that His Grace is bountiful! and then i realise that in many things we do, is really hard to depend on our own strength, but the best way is to depend on Him. like the song "God will make a way, when there seems to be no ways.." and in my life right now, i'm learning to depend in the Holy Spirit in the things that I'm doing. Whether or not is for the spiritual or non-spiritual things in my life. And it WORKS:D but also, i learnt that, we need to FOCUS HARD! And that when I start to focus, with the Grace of God, I tend to get my way through with things that I dont know, before.
In this seaon of my life, God had been doing and dealing things in my life, like never before. Things that I never thought of doing and yet now, He starts to reveal things to me.
I'm thankful and greatful:)
With this, I want to end with a verse that brings me through things when especially, I tried doing things on my own and realise that in all things, TRUST IN THE LORD! and this verse is also appearing in my head when im typing this.
PROVERBS 3:5-6 "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not in your own understanding; In all your ways, acknowledge Him and He shall direct your paths."
Today, i had dinner outside, with my mum and brother. and honestly, the most thing we talk about are regarding church.
Though they still have things against church stuff cause they dont get the full picture of it but i knew in my heart that things are changing in their lifes and sth is different. When i look back to the times when home my mum always scold me for involving in so many church activities and now, it just mkes me feels so happen.
Things are happening well though:D
MY HEART IS THIRSTY FOR YOUR TOUCH,
INTO YOUR PRESENCE I WILL RUN
ONLY YOU CAN SATISFY
LORD DONT EVER PASS ME BY
DAY AFTER DAY YOUR GRACE ABOUNDS
JESUS YOUR LOVE IT NEVER FAILS
FOREVER YOUR MERCY IT ENDURES
GOD YOU ARE THE KING OF ALL
JESUS YOU ALONE ARE WORTHY
JESUS YOU ALONE I WANT TO SEEK
CAUSE YOU PAID THE PRICE, I GIVE YOU MY LIFE
ALL I WANT IS MORE OF YOU
TO YOU ALONE BE THE GLORY
TO YOU ALONE I'LL BRING SONGS OF PRAISE
HOLY SPIRIT FALL ON ME
CAUSE ALL I WANT IS MORE OF YOU
MORE OF YOU

(THAT'S MY HEART CRY TOO, LORD)
For me, whom has never celebrate Father's Day before ever since my parents were separated, i really admired the times when others do all kinds of celebrations with their family.
But till this day, I finally realise the precious moments i have, though not with my earthly dad but with my Heavenly Father. Though I know it's really different to being loved by a Heavenly Father than a earthly one. But in this very day, I just wanna thank HIM for all that He had done. For loving me so much(despite my family background) . It always feels that God is visible infront of me that i can feel HIM and even at times, I can feel HIS hug. Despite not having the love from an earthly father, but im thankful for all He had done and has never give me up in every circumstances:D
THANK YOU DADDYGOD and HAPPY FATHER's DAY:D I LOVE YOU SO MUCH:D<3
love,
Dorcastaferine:D
It's always painful to face struggles in our life.
We will tent to give up in between or feeling helpless. (I felt that way sometimes.)
But i really love this saying, "In our weakness, He is strong":D
I have remember myself questioning God, "why iszit me but not others.
When i think about it, it comes with a purpose behind it. In between, there will be struggles and at times, will feel like giving up. But by the Grace of God, things just went smoothly and victoriously.
