Simplicity in Complexity

The more i study about Human Anatomy and Physiology , the more it brings me to think about what David wrote in Psalm 139.

" For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother's womb.
I praise you because i am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
i know that full well.
My frame was not hidden from you
when i was woven together in the depths of the earth.
your eyes saw my unformed body.
All the days ordained for me
were written in your book
before one of them came to be."
v13- v16

Our human body is one of the most complex natures found on planet earth.
(Medical & research students have GOT to agree with me on this. and guys, don't say girls are complicated beings. you're equally complicated =P)
Every structure, every function.
How the structure always complements its functions.
How the body adapts and adjust in homeostasis to maintain internal environment.
How we go about each day doing the things we do...for example, just as i am typing this sentence now, there are multiple mechanisms are working within me.
Crazily. complex. mechanisms.
How this crazily.complex.mechanisms can be broken down into many steps. Regulated by different stimuli, catalyzed by different enzymes, triggering different feedback and effects.
Every cell, every bone, every muscle , every nerve... every structure for that matter (!) ..is specially designed to suit its location and its purpose.
A reason or significance behind every structure that's there.
Why it has to be two and not three.. why it has to be thick and not thin...why it has to be shaped convergently and not divergently. w.o.w.
How hard the organs of our bodies are working each day. Mannnnn... if only i could be as hardworking as Mr.Heart and Mr.Liver ! =P
I shouldnt even attempt to continue the list which takes lifelong learning! its just...ahhh...
To me, it's just mind-blasting. =O !!!
And i'm only in foundation one!
haha..I'm prepared to be amazed for the next five years and beyond. =D
oh Lord, take my breath away =)

Oh Lord, how great and awesome is Your artwork!
How creative is Your design!
Indeed Your thoughts are SO amazing.. none can fathom.
So many truths and facts left undiscovered till today.
only You, hold the key to all things.
Generations come and go as You slowly reveal the secrets and mysteries to mankind.
So mankind can understand themselves better.
So mankind can treat and help those with infirmities.
So mankind can stand in awe knowing that You are CreatOR and we are mere created creation.
indeed You alone deserve Best Designer Award. =D

............................................................

its interesting how David placed this verse after acknowledging His creator :

"All the days ordained for me
were written in your book
before one of them came to be." v16

To know that this intricate design belongs to noone else.
That this complex life has a destiny, a purpose, a will to fulfill.
To know that God has a plan and purpose for each of our lives.
The Maker wise and big enough to design complicated human being such as us...without a doubt is capable of making the best and wisest game plans there ever is.

Submit and surrender to the one above, for He knows full well.
Choose to honor God in simple faith, with every cell, tissue, system and organ within you.
For He, Your maker who loves you, deserves it all.


God bless you.

Moon

Be like the moon

Shine in the darkness.
But submit to the greater light.

I stand in awe

Took this photo a few days ago.. :


Took my breath away.
Capturing the moment, i was captured into the moment.
What can i say.... i stand in awe.
i stand in awe of You.
Creator .
Maker of all things.
Designer.
What amazing hands You have.

Forgive me for the times i put a limit to your power.
The times i placed you in a 'box'.

Till you throw me in awesome wonder.
And my breath taken away, i stand speechless.
Feeling small in a good way.

Feeling small in the arms of a big God.
the God who gives me strength.
The designer with perfect hands.
The maker with gentle palms.
The dad who loves me and cares for me.
The shepherd who protects me.
The King who would die for me.

Who am i, that the Lord of all the earth,
Should care to know my name,
Should care to feel my hurt.

Not because of what i've done
But because of what You've done
not because of who i am,
but because of who You are.

Amazing love, how can it be!
How great thou art .
You're B-I-G !
I stand in wonder. in awe of You.

smile at the storm

With the twist of events which took place yesterday... all i could do was ask the Lord what He wanted to teach me through the incident. There is a reason behind everything, and i pray that His purposes for it be fulfilled.
Open my eyes, O Lord..that i may capture Your heart.

I was shocked. i panicked, i got worried, and it came with the heartache of losing something.
But in the midst of all the commotion and frantic searching, my heart just kept playing the song...
With Christ in the vessel, we can smile at the storm,
Smile at the storm, smile at the storm..
And i could smile. Genuinely.
For He gave me the reasons and strength to smile.


1. I learned something that i knew all along, but is now just so real to me.
There is more to life. So much more.
There are things in life that are priceless..things that money cannot buy.
The love of the people around you. The little or big things they do for you.
The time, effort and money they spend on you.
Eyes with empathy, hugs of support and deeds of compassion..i was truly touched.
The thank you note someone wrote for me to thank me for being there..just making a difference and meaning something to someone..to be able to impact someone's life.. to be able to touch a heart..now that's priceless to me.
Ultimately , all i could do was fall into the loving embrace of my God, who knows my heart.

2. I learned to weigh how much some things cost to me.
"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy ,
where thieves break in and steal.
But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven,
where moth and rust do not destroy,
where thieves do not break in and steal.
For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."
Matt 6:19-21

3. I learned to cling on to His protection. To totally depend on His wings that cover me.
"Because he loves me," says the Lord,
"I will rescue him;
I will protect him for he acknowledges my name.
He will call upon me , and i will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble,
I will deliver him and honor him.
With long life will I satisfy him
and show him my salvation.
(Ps 91:14-16)


I could complain about the timing of it all if i wanted to.. for it was really one of the 'wrong-est' , 'most inconvenient' time for such an incident.
Yet i KNOW with all my heart the timing was Perfect in God's eyes. and it becomes perfect to me.
There is a reason why it had to happen there and then.. witnessed by those very people.
I pray Your will be done.

Indeed .. " when anxiety was great within me,
your consolation brought joy to my soul" Ps 94:19
