An open plea to God

Help. Me.

Reign Sovereign over all my decisions, over my emotions, over the words I speak, over the air I breathe, over the songs I sing.

Giving Up going to Josh's wedding in Sydney for this. The last I need, is an amplification of my doubts that this might not be worth the sacrifice, but really, who knows best?

Shine a lamp unto my feet and light up my path dear God.

Take away the throbbing hurt in my heart, the burden on my shoulders, and the load of my chest.

The people closest to me don't know what I'm going through, simply because I never know how to explain myself to them. But also because, every attempt at explanation always results in endless questions and belittlement.

I always believed all these trials and tribulations prepared me to be stronger for the worser things to come.

Why do i expect worse things to come when I should expect only the best?

If I had your support, nothing else would matter.

Feeling so lost.

My shepherd will find me.

He always does.

Hey!!

Spoke to your parents on Monday and your dad said that you might not be going to Josh's wedding cos of a singing competition. Your mum said that you really wanted to go but your dad said that it wasn't very worth it to rush like crazy all around sydney but hey!

Don't worry about all these things. I'm sure that deep down inside, your parents still love you so go for it and see you at Josh's wedding in Singapore!

Hey Diya,

I don't think you'll remember who I am but I am one of the many girls whom you spoke to during a Girls Talk over at Cornerstone. I'm just an amateur singer myself and I was really inspired by what you shared then. I mean, I kinda grasped how the entertainment industry is like and I really respect you for being bold and proclaiming your faith.

:)

Perhaps it's time to lay down all that heavy burden that's been weighing you down at the feet of Jesus. It's really easier said than done but truly just by getting into His presence you can really find freedom.

I'll be praying for you! Praying that the Joy of the Lord shall be your strength.

Btw, Philippians 4:4-6's something for you. This verse encourages me everytime when I'm feeling dry, empty and down.

Hope to hear from you soon!

Love,
Ariane
