kermit is at it!

Hmm, so kermit has officially won my heart with his rainbow connection song. It's replaying in my heart, along with nine in the afternoon and lie about us. I guess we all still possess the remnants of a child in us, hiding deep inside. I'm 18, but when I'm not serious, i often feel like i'm 14. Not that I'm childish, but it's just that I crack those super lame and funny jokes that sets jiani sijia shihui and jie laughing like mad.

Talking with sijia set me thinking. Why is it that we could all realise the problem with some people, yet to themselves, what they are doing is perfectly fine? But God let me not be critical or judgemental, but help to accept them yet not approve of what they do.

Today hasn't been exactly great. I just got home from school, and I counted the total number of times I've been to the toilet since I woke up this morning. FOUR. It was my favourite number, note the word is was. I hope it ends there so it won't ever get to my index number or my legs will soon become jelly. We also got back our result slips today. It's a DUDED. Hmm, apparently for economics and math were better than I expected. I've gotta start working harder already. by prelims must be AABBC. The purpose of being a student...

Coming to studies, I guess I've got t end it all here and accomplish all the work for today. There's still chemistry test tomorrow to be studied for!

toodles.

hmm

Sometimes life is a merry go round, a vicious cycle that on our conscious effort, we try to get out of.

God is a faithful God, I'm finally getting my water baptism. It'd be 12 days before my spiritual birthday. So cool, I came to know God in July, and I'm getting water baptised in July as well. Haha. :D

I think I'm really loving fasting. It helps to bring prayers to pass. Fasting is the lifestyle of a disciple. Turn to fasting when you don't know what to do and you want the Holy Spirit to lead you, turn to fasting when praying alone doesn't seem to help.

Van is having bbq later. I've got to go and help her soon.

close to perfection

Today is a day close to perfection.

In school, though lessons were boring as usual, but I had a great talk with jie. She shared with me many things about church and God, and I felt grieved in my spirit, about how she was brought up in a way to reject the Holy Spirit. How I wished she could know God the way I knew Him to be, I know it's not easy for her, having to stand up against her parents and elders because of what she believed in, and being brought up knowing a tinted version of the Bible and God. Thank God that i could minister to her because all the answers to the questions she had were in GOHS. It's not just about having head knowledge, but it's really applying the Word of God into lives that make a difference. It is absolutely important to get equipped with the Word of God so you can be more effective for God.

Anyway, after economics lecture today, I took the same bus home with nicko. Whee, he says that i look like i lost more than 6kg already. Whaha, thanks to the resounding voice of John in my head that reminds me not to eat so much and gain back the 6kg that I painstakingly lost. That hindered me from eating too much and abstain from fattening food. So we were talking about church and all then he told me that he realised that everytime he talks to me, he feels that his faith rises to a new level. And I felt happy, not because it's about ME, but it's more like I felt the Holy Spirit using me to minister to others. I was telling kexin that I recently have this urge to minister to people, to teach and help them to grow more in the Lord. If i could make a difference in their lives, I choose to do so. She told me I've grown, and I really think that those 21 days have not been to waste, but it caused me to feel more empowered to serve.

Not by power, not by might, but by My Spirit...

men.

I've decided I musn't allow my wrath to get the better of me. But sometimes, you just can't help but feel so provoked you know.

Yesterday Pastor taught us about men and their purpose. And he mentioned that after the fall of adam. all these purposes became corrupted.

I kinda feel it's so true, men are absolutely poor in communication. They don't understand things, they don't clarify, they don't think before they say, they don't apologise. And most of the time, they just think that they are right. Even if they aren't, their ego gets the better of them. This is what i feel at least, generically speaking, not applicable to ALL men, just so to be fair to the minority.

Sometimes i just find it amusing how some people can blame everything and everyone else for the things in their lives and not evaluate themselves. WOW. It's amazing what love can do and selfishness can destroy. In God there is no I. There is only 1 way, the Jesus' way.

Enough of my sarcasm, I have a lot of thoughts flying through my head. There are many things that I want to do, and I feel prompted to do. I just pray that I'll be faithful to follow through, and not gradually over time, forget about everything that I had started on. Help me O Lord.

"i heart"

whee!~ this is nick's attempt to be part of the "i heart" revolution. cool huh? I love this ministry so much.

but anyway, today i was standing at dhoby ghaut mrt and staring at the missing persons advertisement.I suddenly saw in my spirit, that in heaven, God also has this super huge wall full of posters of the people that He had created. It contained all the information about every single one of us in great details. On some posters, there were stickers that says "FOUND" in bold, these are those who have a personal relationship with God. On these posters, there were details of their encounters with Him. Some have no stickers on them at all, they are the lost. There were also others with the remnants of the "FOUND" sticker after it was torn off, and there was an additional line written there "last seen at (place) at (time)". The point here being, if you are lost, God wants to meet you, if you were once His child, all the more He wants you to come home to Him! What a heavy responsibility we have to bring these people into the house of God. How sad God must be to tear off the sticker and write down when was the last time He met you. God is amazing ain't He? (:

My tooth is hurting like crazy. XC braces braces, i want nice teeth SOON. FAST.
