My pH Dropped, Due to Transplanting


It was a bad weather, sometime raining heavily, sometime was too warm.
Perhaps during such a difficult time, it is really not suitable to transplant me - Hydrangea.
Last night, it rained heavily. I was swaying in the rain. Even though tonne of rain water flowing into me, I am still dehydrated.

God's heart must be pain to see me in such condition, but He insisted to transplant me. As He knew what is best for me. I need a new environment and a new pot. He dug me out from the old soggy soil. I am so stubborn sometime that I refused to be moved. I want to stay in my comfort area because I worry too much. What if the new pot not suitable for me? What if I cannot adapt to the new environment? What if when I being transplant, my pH dropped and I turned to blue.

When I insisted to stay on the ground, I became so strengthless. Then my tears keep flowing. Suddenly, I look up and I see God's face. He stand there silently under the rain. I see tears flowing down His cheeks too. He kept telling me it is all right when He started to dig up as much rootball as possible. It was a difficult task in such a weather. But He didn't gave up on me. Then I realized, it would be easier if I clinged on His hand to allow Him to carry me out from the soggy soil instead I slumber around and let Him to do all the rest.

When I was finally out from the old soil.. My pH dropped tremendously and I turned blue~~ ( refers to previous post to know why pH is important to Hydrangea). God held me tight in His arm and rush to the new pot and let me settle down. I waited silently. Then I was too tired and fell asleep but He remains there to comfort and heal me. He checking my pH from time to time to make sure when the sun rises again in the morning, I'll be in the pink of health.

Thanks God, I woke up fresh and shine today. I might not be in perfect pH of 6.2 yet but I can see He still stand beside me holding me. Using His huge body to cover me to avoid the strong sunlight then He says to me, "My dear, bare in mind that I will only give You the best, hold on and You will see the glory soon".

A Break Through In Life

Hours ago, I'd been waiting, counting down the time to write this testimony. I just can't believe it that I really did it. Fasting for 3 days equivalent to 72 hours without solid food, but only plain water, 2 cups of milo, a cup of orange juice and a cup of soya bean each day. (I can hear some ppl saying I'm crazy now). Haha.


Well, what I want to emphasize here is not how wonderful that I made this. I'm not fasting for keeping fit nor for a proof that I got self control. But I fast for seeking God. I am very sure that I will not make this through if it is without God's protection, guidance and blessing.


As a girl who always suffer from gastric pain, I always convince myself (consciously or unconsciously) that I cannot fast. I don't have the faith at all. But this time, God really touched my heart in order to make this decision. Within this 3 days, I don't suffer from gastric pain, I still look energetic and fresh, I still work as usual, I still go to gym and work out for 1.5 hours.


Perhaps I still haven't got the answer that I'm looking for during this fast and pray period. But I know this is a break through for me as I'd come closer and closer to my Abba Father. And through Him alone that this can be done. Thank you my Lord for this blessing. All this glory belongs to You and You alone.


Hallelujah!

Lord I offer You my life

Things in the past Things yet unseen
Wishes and dreams that are yet to come true
All of my hopes All of my plans
My heart and my hands are lifted to You

Lord I offer my life to You
Everything I've been through
Use it for Your glory
Lord I offer my days to You
Lifting my praise to You
As a pleasing sacrify

Lord I offer You my life

A Mate from God

We know that it is the Lord's will for people to have mate if they desire one. In the beginning when God created Adam, God Himself made this statement.

Genesis 2:18 – It is not good for man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.

The Lord wants to bring a mate to those who will ask Him and have the patience to wait for His choice. There are some single people who are constantly looking for a mate and they are miserable because God has not sent them one yet. They have prayed and prayed yet they still have no mate.

Some start pondering and settle for Satan’s provision instead of asking God for the patience to wait for the one whom He would send. If they would look to Jesus & seek to please him, rather than being concerned about a mate, soon they will find the right one crossing their path.

Looking for a man or woman to just keep them from being lonely or just to fill their needs should not be the only reason for desiring a mate. It is important to be concerned about what kind of husband/wife they would be for a mate even before the relationship starts. They should ask Lord to fill them with His Love and Peace.

It might take some time before we really meet the correct mate as God may use our “singleness” to mold us into a better person before directing us to our other half. First the Lord would begin to use us to bless others; then we will find we are content in Him. Eventually, in God’s plan and timing, He will bless us with a wonderful mate so that both lives can be a witness for him. We should never enter into marriage or perhaps I should say enter into a relationship without much prayer.

If we allow the emotional & soulish realm to dominate our lives we become more susceptible to the enemy leading us astray through someone. So many have failed the Lord because they choose a man/woman over the Lord.
1. Solomon’s heathen wife led him into idolatry.
2. Samson lost his eyes because of a woman.
3. David committed murder and adultery because of passion for Bathsheba.

The true definition of love is “God is Love”. If God is not in a relationship, it is not true love. What the world calls love is really lust since it is built on what the other person does for me instead of what I can do for him/her. If the other person fails to keep up his end of the bargain, a divorce occurs because the offended mate is no longer pleased. This is the attitude of the world’s love.

God’s love is loves without receiving back (though this seems difficult to understand; in fact it is tough as we are just human)
God’s love if forgiving and patient.
God’s love is gentle and kind.
God’s love waits.
God’s love sacrifices.

Man’s emotions are not a reliable gauge upon which to establish a relationship. It is important to seek for character than emotion. Emotion fluctuate; character doesn’t. Emotion are in the soulish realm and unless the carnal mind has been renew, Satan can give us emotions or feeling of loves for someone of his choosing. “Falling” in love is Satan’s way. A Christian should not blindly “fall” into a trap. Love is bigger than simply falling for someone.

Certainly God gives us a wonderful emotional feeling for the one we are to marry. However, this “feeling” without God’s direction can be disastrous as Satan can tamper with our emotions and feelings too. Therefore, relationship or marriage should be based on a decision directed by the Holy Spirit.

Above all, thank God and seek God.

Thank God, I'm in pH 6.2


Some people might be wondering, what does Ariel means by "I'm in pH 6.2" ? does she turned acidic?

Now, let me tell you the fascinating facts about Me as Hydrangea.
Hydrangeas are fascinating in that, unlike most other plants, the color of Hydrangea can change dramatically. The color can be changed by controlling the pH of the soil. Hydrangea can appear to be blue to pink or even purple.

It is much easier to change a hydrangea from pink to blue than it is from blue to pink. Changing a hydrangea from pink to blue entails adding aluminum to the soil. Changing from blue to pink means subtracting aluminum from the soil or taking it out of reach of the hydrangea. pH 6.2 is perfect for Hydrangea to keep it pinkish color. If the pH drop until 5.2-5.5, it will become blue in color.

Therefore, when I say I'm in pH 6.2 means I'm in the pink of health, not in "blue~~" mood. Good thing right? haha...

Well, wondering am I confusing anybody? What is hydrangea to do with me? Actually, Hydrangea is the nick of mine which i use since the very first day learn to online. So Hydrangea means me. I choose this nick is because I'm amazed with hydrangea's wonderful nature and character.

Conclusion, I am in pH 6.2 and I'm sure God will be my perfect gardener who will always maintain my pH so that I'll be happy and healthy and pinky always.

Thanks my heavenly Papa, muacks!

我坚信...

心,是一个容器,不停的累积,所有的点滴。。

但,如果有一天,当思念满溢,沾透天与地。。

我,还是否依然,耐心等待着,顺服的聆听。。

风,为我吹起了,满地的落叶,也编编起舞。。

雨,悄悄的落了,载我的祝福,撒在你身边。。

天,渐渐的黑了,我闭上双眼,在内心摸索。。

主,我听见你了,不需要言语,只需坚信着。。

Meaningful lyric to share

你身上专属的陌生味道 是我确认你存在的目标
不用来回张望了直到 今世我们相隔在一个街角
这么久了,还是可以看到 感觉得到你对我的重要
不会被天黑天亮打扰 你每一次的温柔我都想炫耀

我们绕了这么一圈才遇到,我比谁都更明白你的重要
这么久了我就决定了,决定了你的手我握了不会放掉
我们绕了这么一圈才遇到,我答应自己不再庸人自扰
因为我要的我自己知道,只要你的肩膀依然让我靠
