Weekend in London

The weekend away in London was just what i needed. It's been such a tiring week, both mentally and physically. Although i didn't feel like it was the best time to head to London, God knew better. isn't it amazing how things work out perfectly even when you think it's not going to?

I truly truly treasure the one-on-one times with friends. and i'm just so thankful that God has blessed me with such great friendships.

gingerbread latte with H was great! i love the christmasy feel that gingerbread brings. but more than that, i love spending time with H. it's just nice to have someone i feel absolutely comfortable with, and i always enjoy every conversation we have. I'm so thankful that she's a friend i know i'll be able to count on, even though we don't talk as often as i'd like to. everytime we choose to sit down and chat, i feel like i can open up to her and be honest with her about how i feel. how rare is that nowadaes? hahahah.


Dinner with C was, as always, crazy fun. she's such a dear. =) a <3 to <3 friend i know who's got my back.

spending time with J i think was the most fruitful part of this trip to london. i'm so thankful that i have a brotherly figure like J in my life who's always looking out for me.


as the weekend comes to an end, time to embrace all the work that awaits me. :( but just so that this blog remains a food blog, here's a picture of the sourcream coffee cake (which i made into mini muffins) i made for impact last week. (:

of course, the pretty stand belongs to the church. hahaha. 

Today I attended the baptism teaching at church. I am immensely excited about being baptised. now, to pray.

I love knowing that God planned for it and i love feeling that conviction in my heart. i love knowing for a fact that the God i serve is a living God who loves me and whose plans for me are perfect and pleasing.

This week's verse to memorise, Romans 12:1-2. my current favourite verse. :D

"Therefore i urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God. this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of the mind. Then you will be able to test and approve God's will, his good, pleasing and perfect will."






as with all things, commit it to God.

Mini Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip muffins

This week has been a tiring week so far! although yes, i've only made it through half of it. well, impact tmr! i'm so looking forward to hanging out and i'm really excited to hear what God has in store for us. :) J was walking me back to my place after baking today and I realised how much i've changed since I gave my life to God. our God is a life-transforming God!

There will always be reasons to worry or to be upset. mostly because of what happens around us. but the joy comes from the Lord. Galatians 16:22 says that the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. I shall always remind myself that this Joy from the Lord can never be taken away from me!

yes yes.


well this being a baking blog, here you go:

I baked peanut butter chocolate chip muffins to bring to impact tmr! It's the greatest joy ever to see how others enjoy what i bake. it really really warms my heart. i guess that's what keeps me going, knowing that what i do brings joy. 

oh man, this reminds me. the last time i updated this blog was a whole 2 months ago! i guess no one really visits and hence no one realises. haha. but i'll be updating it more since i'll be needing the recipes for My Sweet Serendipity in future. :P

You'll never know what God has in store for us. but it's fine, because whatever it is, it has got to be the best plan ever because it's God's plan. i like going to bed with that thought in my bed. although i must say, lately i've been having some trouble getting to sleep. :( 

well, there's so much to give thanks for! today, H, F and i watched GG together. L stayed with me for a bit to chat in the kitchen, M noticed i'm slightly down, J walked me back. I give thanks for all of them, even though they were just tiny actions. of course, i thank God that i have a wonderful family back at home whom i miss so dearly! my mum is so sweet, she insisted on me taking the 2.5k singaporeair flight because she said it'll be more comfortable but i decided to go ahead with the emirates one. i can't wait to see them in december. :)

till next time! <3
