Butterflies In My Stomach.

Went to church today, with pain in my stomach, thanks to the menstrual due! But, my uncle reminded me that I was the back-up singer, so I put on a -____- face and went for it. And later my father joined me and my friend (actually). I gave all out and to me, I sounded like trash, but then my boyfriend protests and said "you rocked.' Like always.

And then a miracle happened.

Today was the day we came to the table of the Lord. You know how painful it is if we had stomach ache at times we don't ask for it. So I was sitting uncomfortably, and holding my friend's hand if the pain strikes my tummy. So after praying and eating the bread and the grape (don't get me wrong, they symbolizes Jesus' body), I immediately felt better! It's like the pain was never there! How awesome it can be when you are with the Lord!

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me (Philippians 4:13)


And going back from the church, my friend who was working at TheSpring got me two books I've always wanted. Okay, another wonderful miracle. I got these two books for free! And I've been wanting them for life ago (kidding), but you could say it was long. Thank God! You can imagine me dancing around and hugging my friend. It was wonderful, a wonderful Sunday indeed. Hallelujah!

It's not new, she's my neighbor's.

BUCKET OF LOVE, -ANTY DARRA A-

I love her so much! :*

And lo, do you get my excitement? Finally the sister of the 'Haunted' is here! 

Rubbishes actually.

Start Getting Busy.

I can do ALL THINGS through Christ who strengthens me. (Philippians 4:13)

Well good afternoon! (Don't get weird out if it's posted later, I started writing at 12:38 PM.) I started this new day with a visitor at our place around 8 o'clock in the morning. She was my grandma. It wasn't my usual time of waking up during the holidays and when grandma went into the kitchen, I went back into my room and went back to sleep. Okay, that's all about it.

And then when she already went back to do her work (or maybe rush back home), I woke up again, got ready to bath, cleaned the house, fold the clothes, washed everything in the sink (phew!), I got back into my room and started on the Christmas plan for my HomeGroup.

Remember when I was saying that the kids were going to present a choral speaking? Foreseeing that I might not be able to 'tutor' them properly, I alternately changed their presentation- from speaking together into singing together! Along to the song 'Silent Night,' I found very simple step dance here. The girl's cute! (oh my)

And then when I was still on my way drafting the choreographs, my father and little sister came home from wiring at someone's house. I got a new shirt from my grandma (they both went to see her for a while just now) and we ate manna biscuits! What's more amazing, the biscuits have words on them, as in words from the Bible itself.

And before forgetting! Last Saturday-3rd December- my church held a program for the Sunday schoolers. I led the praise and worship for the first thing in the morning, and then we moved on to prayers and games. There weren't much pictures, but I'm sure all the kids had fun.

Prayer time after worship.

I got lots more to say, but my little sister wants to use the broadband. So I'm coming back tonight. Stay tuned! 

Here Comes The Life For Christmas!

Back again, and now Imma be very busy for ze celebration! Christmas is only days away, you can count it by fingers. I've been told by every single one at the church to contribute to AT LEAST one thing/person, but God knows all my talents and now, I got three jobs on my shoulders. 1) Kids (They have two presentations). 2) Parents. 3) The youths. Ain't a wow for ya? A big one for me ;)

For the cute kids, they wanted to do a choral speaking, so they told me to write a script for them. It was and is very nice of them, but I'm gonna be tired. Therefore I'm still planning and looking for ideas and Bible verses to put in to the script.

The parents. This is gonna be quite a heavy burden to me, since I don't really know what do they want. They explained? Yes, of course, why not? A long half-an-hour explanation, but what I only understand is that, they wanted to present a country song. Which! is not suitable for me to plan because so far, I don't have great experience in country choreographing. Now, I'll have to go through the Net and find something interesting for BOTH the audience and the presenters. Amen.

Now we understand each other because we are in the same category, and I would not be able to get the point if they reject this opinion. So the youths are presenting a skit from Lifehouse! I'm sure they'd helped a lot through comments and tweets-I hope it's gonna be a success. I got the actors and actresses listed, not sure if they would accept it or not. Well, we're doing it only for a 5-minute skit, not like the TV series or movies. If so, then I will not say anything if they decline this one and only offer to make. Hmph ~

So I hope (and do pray) that all this will come to something I'll love the most. The most cherish-able thing to do is to help everyone to the best I could afford. If I can't then what do I have to say? I have limits, and so do everyone around me. 

Goodnight ;)

Therefore whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. (1 Corinthians 10:31)

p/s: Don't get annoyed by me tonight, I might post some more to express.. anything! The title just don't fit my coming-up post. 

He Stays LORD Forever, More Victorious Than Ever. (Edited by Me)

Living water for the dying soul.

More to come..... 

I Can Do It!

Here comes something which is so not me. Just sit back!

I want to change

a) The way I blog about my daily life.
b) The way I talk about people.
c) The way I interact with people around me.
d) The way I speak with elites.

e) My styles every time I go out.
f)  My talking etiquette with senior citizens.
g) My attitude at church (a must!)

And to accept...

h) The fact that I can't handle things right, I seriously want to change this!!!
i) The fact that I'm left behind in world issues.
j) The fact that I can't catch up fast in class.
k) The fact that  every one hates us when we talk bad behind them and they know later.
l) The fact that all teachers are actually nice.
m) The fact that mummy and daddy scolds me because they love me.
n) The fact that I can't face anything myself, but with the Lord's strength!

Maybe more to come after this, just wait for a new brainstorm alright?

These verses inspire me. Thank you!


I will lift up my eyes to the hills--- from whence comes my help? My help comes from the LORD, who made the heaven and earth. (Psalms of David 121:1-2)


Come to me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. (Matthew 11:28)


Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; And I will dwell  in the house of the Lord forever (Psalms of David 23:6)


I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. (Philippians 4:13)


The name of the LORD is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe (Proverbs 18:10)


The LORD is near to all who call upon Him, to all who call upon Him in truth (Psalm 145:18)


Your word I have hidden in my heart, that I might not sin against You (Psalms of David 119:11)

Merry Christmas everyone! I know it's early but, 'tis the most wonderful times of our lives :)) Happy birthday, Jesus!

No One Could Describe Today, Neither Do Words.

I had a sleepover last night. As in, my friend was the one who came to stay at my place. We had talked too much until I can't take it, and at last I had to sleep around two AM. And that was horrible. A good thing my parents didn't know about that. If not, they're gonna freak out! JK :)

Today went on as the usual Sunday-routine. I went to church and I danced for the first time in this church! Well, not first. I did dance our traditional dance here, but that was not enough. Hehe.. So today, they called me again and I did the honor of dancing for the LORD. Hallelujah! 

Not that I tell them it wasn't enough for the traditional dance to be shown, but yeah. It's been my passion for years now you know? And that's how we are when we just can't stop doing something. Especially if it's our heart's concern. 

This part can't be left out.

Our church leader (or something, people call him with different titles nowadays) thought us about the Christian ritual today, baptism. Touched, I was encouraged too much by The Word. Thank God *Amen*

I dance today, I sang too. I hung out with friends, we ate food that never lets us go hungry. 

Pictures! 

She's my auntie, and she's born on December, five months after I was. Whatever :)

Baking time. Bye bye :)

No For The Old, Yes For The New. I'm Happy.

Good afternoon! So I suggested a new recipe to my mother today (out of her own shelf) and she-to my surprise- gave me a green light! Hallelujah, now I can jump up to the skies and rejoice.

Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. (1 Thessalonians 1:16-18).

Next up is these Silver Diamonds cookies. I wondered why were they called 'silver' then next to it comes out 'diamonds.' :'

I hope you people can suggest me some things to bake too. Thank you.

I'm thinking to bake some for one potluck program at my church. That's where I think I could begin this small thing. Well, at least it has acceptable incomes. Hmm... I'll just have to bring this thing up in prayer.

Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.' (Mark 11:24) Amen!

I've got nothing more to say, but I'll post again if I got news on the cookies, okay? Signing off!

I Didn't Think Today Was Fun At All :(

Since it wasn't fun, so I just took random pictures to MAKE it fun. Unfortunately, that didn't switch my mood. Hmm ....

I finished reading this two days ago. And it was the best novel ever read (by me).

Garnier product fan seriously :)

(Translated) Biscuit Creativity.

My sister's. I used them to color the drawings I've drawn.

Busy for Sunday service. Got a lot of songs from different books and references.

The Chocolate Candy Mint Cookies.

Goodnight :)

Like I Said, Weekly Post!

Just pictures, okay? Nothing much to talk about. Just, I played the keyboard, I dressed myself like Avril Lavigne, I got loud claps, I got pictures with everyone (which I'm not gonna post), and everybody said 'You're not Taylor Swift today, you're Lavigne.' :D

p:s/ Guys, sorry for the blurs. My friend took these pictures and I guess I just need to teach her more about handling the camera so the pictures won't be blur.

Yeah, that's me (and my sister) in outfits I actually mix-and-matched. Thank God it turned out wonderful!

As far as everybody's concerned, what goes around comes around. I mean, sometimes we're on top of everything, and sometimes we're beneath everyone who's excelled. So look on the future and go on as if nothing ever happened (BAD) and rejoice in the Lord for He is everything! Amen.

So today, I've been fighting with some of these girlfriends from my past. One even told me to 'not take him from me.' And I was like 'OMG! We're already in love, you're too late.' So I just ignored the PM and told her to shut up in my heart.

I'm the type that hates to fight people. Even if I'm the one who started everything, but I will soon feel sorry before the day passes through. Not like other people (not to mention....) surely we can't forget, but believers are just to forgive. Hallelujah!

Astrid Swift (now with the space), signing off. Stay tuned! Goodnight.

Anything For The Future

We had a retreat to a famous resort here in Sarawak, especially for the church leaders and I was proud to be one of them.

Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. (1 Corinthians 10:31)


And I wasn't proud in the worldly way, but in a way that I thought (and see) that how God is going to use me very well for His coming up ministries. I can't wait because I know many are in need of His miracles to happen, so people, be ready for our outreach to you people!


Our committee members had bought a new piece of land for a new church building. We are looking forward to some programs that could help raise funds for renovation of the church. And we brought this matter up in the retreat and seems like we got our hearts one in prayer, I'm sure God listens and He has the best plans ever for this upcoming church building.


Not forgetting the delicious food we had. The way we did it was each family will have to cook enough for everyone to share and it was deliciously fun indeed! We get to share the love and recipes when Christ is in us.


As promised for every blog pages :) Here comes the hit!

Paying attention to this 'new' comic he had. He calls it new, and it was already very dusty when I found it in his room last month.

He has a name. Shawn Nix :)

We have our own sleeping beauty.

My mother who just untied her hair and it blew in the wind. She was searching for a contact number my brother and I accidentally deleted days ago.

She was posing her new handbag. And we were like -_____-

A view of the famous mountain on Sarawak. Known for its legend, this surely was an attraction to tourists.

That hat, oh no.. That hat! (Notice the lump on the right side of my neck? I was chewing a sour sweet that time, and that explains why my eyes looked >.-)

During the sermon, before the church planning. I noticed the flash but then I thought it would make a nice shot :)

That was this morning, before having my way back home. I got obsessed with the hat! 

Anyway, got an occasion at Franklin's place tonight, I'll post that tomorrow, along with the church post. And I'm making that church-post a label on my bloggie post and that's weekly. 

AstridSwift, signing off. Stay tuned :)
