I wanna sit and stare blankly at gentle waves
feel the breeze in my hair
smell and taste fresh air
and feel the soft sand beneath my feet.

that would be a good day.
will you be there with me?

Names are really important to a person. if you look in the bible, you'll know how important names are to people. Abram's name was changed to Abraham, father of many, in order to fulfill the promise God has given him.

i therefore have seeked to search for the meaning of my name, even though my mom says that she thought of my name last minute when she looked at the pearl necklace she was wearing -.-

p.s its gonna be super long, but its for my own reference anyways:)

it seems that pearls symbolyses things that are precious in the bible.

Second mention of pearls in the Bible

Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to the pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and then turn and tear you into pieces (matt 7:6)

Jesus is saying do not give what is precious to people (pigs hahaha) who dont cannot appreciate it for they may trample on them and distroy it. incidentally, its part of my name!! means that im precious! i must remember to shunt away from people who will only bring harm to me!

Third mention of pearls in the Bible

Matthew 13:45

“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking fine pearls.”

Jesus said that the kingdom of God is as precious as pearls! amazing

“and upon finding one pearl of great value, he went and sold all that he had, and bought it.
i would like to say the jesus is the merchant, looking for pearls(me, great value :)) when he found me, he sold everyting (including his life) to pay for me. amen!

Fifth mention of pearls in the Bible

I Timothy 2:9

“Likewise, I want women to adorn themselves with proper clothing, modestly and discreetly, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly garments;”

Sixth mention of pearls in the Bible

Revelations 17:4

“And the woman was clothed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a gold cup full of abominations and of the unclean things of her immorality,”

Seventh mention of pearls in the Bible

Revelations 18:12

“cargoes of gold and silver and precious stones and pearls and fine linen and purple and silk and scarlet, and every kind of citron wood and every article of ivory and every article made from very costly wood and bronze and iron and marble,”

Eighth mention of pearls in the Bible

Revelations 18:16

“Saying, ‘Woe, woe, the great city, she who was clothe in fine linen and purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls;..”

these versus just show how precious pearls are (i am :P)

lastly,
Ninth mention of pearls in the Bible

Revelations 21:21

“And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; each one of the gates was a single pearl. And the street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass.”

love this!!!

The pearl in Judeo-Christian recordings refer to the pearl as symbol of Purity Harmony Humility

St. Augustine... after realizing that the pearl was not among the gems which signified the twelve apostles...

...declared that the pearl was reserved in this manner by God for

Jesus Christ Himself

This idea makes a lot of sense, when one thinks of the correlation between these two verses:

John 10:9 "I am the door; if anyone enters through Me, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out and find pasture." And:

Revelations 21:21 "And the twelve gates were twelve pearls: each one of the gates was a single pearl."

Jesus = door=Pearl gates of heaven

This fits well, as Jesus claimed to be the way into heaven...

John 14:6 "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no man

comes unto the Father, but through Me.

Yet another symbol for which the pearl is used is for

Heaven

as in the following verse:

"The kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking fine pearls." Matthew 13:45

Since the PEARL, represents Jesus Christ himself...and Heaven,

it indeed also represents the:

ZENITH OF QUALITY AND GOOD TASTE.

hehheh

i believe that i will be like the pearl gate.. many people are gonna know christ through me and enter the kingdom of heaven!! hallelujah!

even though my mom may have chosen my name at random, but Jesus chose it for me! ive found so much more meaning to it xD

needless to say it was quite a disappointment but i believe Jesus has given me the best and He has a perfect plan for me. through this, ive really seen how God has blessed and protected me!! all things work out for good for those who love him!

when Benjamin was forced to be taken away from Jacob, (gen 42) he was really upset. He even thought that everything was against him:

Their father said to them, "You have deprived me of my children. Joseph is no more, and Simeon is no more, and now you want to take benjamin. Everything is against me!" gen 42:36. however, he did not know that there was in fact abundance waiting for him and all these were actually working for good, for him! it was actually his beloved son Joseph doing all these to bring him home! therefore i trust that God uses everything, good or bad for my benefit and i will see the blessings sooner or later. Jesus has restored my results and my studies, amen!

looking forward for a blessed time in my new school!

its less than a day before i receive my long-anticipated O level results.. if i were my normal self, i would be super panicky and stressed up by now. but i refuse to be because i would be believing that the DEVIL has the power to make inroads into my life that God cannot protect me from. i want to put my faith in Jesus and have confidence in His love and power working for me than the devil's ability to harm me. I refuse to worry because it will stop God's anointing from flowing!

Matthew 6:27 : Jesus said, which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?

instead i choose to have faith in Jesus and His finished work and NOT be troubled!! then i will receive peace from God, which KEEPS what grace has GIVEN!!

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. and the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. philippians 4:6-7

Jesus said: Peace I leave with you;my peace i give to you. I do not give you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. John 14: 27

Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. hebrews 11:1

I believe God exceeds my expectations when he blesses me. he wouldn't just bless me with fishes. He blesses me with net breaking, boat sinking, load of fishes!!! because God doesnt know what is enough!!! he blesses abundantly!!!

I thank God for everything i have done and everything I have because God will multiply it! when Jesus thanked God for the 5 loaves and 2 fishes, it multiplied till there were 12 baskets full of left over!!!

I believe that Jesus' blood has redeemed me from all curses. in turn, i take His place of acceptance by God, wholeness, SUCCESS, prosperity. I am justified through faith and am righteous. And the LORD watches the way of the righteous (psalm 1:6)!!

Lord I stand on your promises. i by faith i believe that everything is the best that it can ever be, because it is from you Jesus. it is a gift from you. it does not depend on my intelligence or my hard work. i surrender all to you. from now on, everything is YOUR doing and not mine. therefore ALL glory and honour can only go to you, and no one else. AMEN!!

shalom to all!! God bless those in the same boat as me :p
