i was just sharing with mother the things i've encoutered at philippines. when told mother about how the kids there reacted when they knew that they get to eat mcdonalds/jollibee for dinner, how they savor each and every bit of food left in their meal box and how some of them decided to say no to the temptation of opening up the box and eat just so they could share it with their family when they get home, mother wept.
& deep down i know mother was already trying hard to hold back her tears already but to no avail.
i hope one day mother would go on a mission trip with me as well, to see and to experience everything herself, not by just hearing from me, then she would really be convinced that i serve a living God, she (can) as well.

I search my heart, and yes, i found You.

This Love; so compelling.
This Love; so genuine and real.
This Love; so selfless.
This Love; so everlasting.
This Love; so great that i think i'm undeserving of it, yet You still gave, gave it all.
This Love; so assuring.
This Love; so deep.
This Love; that i just can't find an appropriate word to describe.

And it could only be from You.

Thank You for sharing Your heart with me God, thank You :))

i'm not yet in bed!! guilty me! =x thanks to the world cup season that has successfully inverted my bodyclock! ahhh, but season's over alr!! :(( me dont want to be panda!!:(

anw, me loves mr. Carpenter very very much! :)
and i thank Him for making me who i am today, and of course, constantly reminding me of why i'm doing what i'm doing everyday, every moment.
没有你， 哪里会有我？

okie, goodnighty! im going to meet alice for tea right now!

oh, and did i mention that TORRES IS THE BEST?! :D

i've come to a point realising the vulnerablilty of life, oh wait, maybe we all did, but sometimes we just emphasise too much on how to make our life better and more exciting through perhaps the material aspects than to treasure it.

this thought led me to a conclusion; that i don't fancy to live a wealthy life but a purposeful one. i don't think i would want a life with everything within my reach, but to be able to give myself a pat on my shoulder at the end of this Walk, that i've made my everyday count, that i've contended what i could and desired, that i know i've made a difference to this world, that i would hear this from Papa "Well done, you good and faithful servant." (:, how awesome uh? :)

& for that to come true, i knew it would be the standards that i'm standing upon right now. only when i'm able to up the standards of the way i live then would God be able to bring me to a higher level and to carry up greater responsibilities.
so i should, set the standards in my life, be different, that people out there might know that i'm in this world but not part of it.

Discipline.

Amen.

In my sociology class, i learnt that Karl Marx's view of the world is that the gain of one player is always at the cost of another. That if there's only one slice of cake(example) left, only one person will get it; no sharing. He calls this the zero-sum view.

I think otherwise.
In my world, the gain of one fighter is always at the benefit of another. That if there's only one slice of cake left, we will share it and even if at the end of the day, i don't get a tiny portion out of it, i'm willing. :) & i call this the infinite-sum view.

Hi, welcome to my world! This world that's led by The Living God, not the living man.

Long bus rides, plug-in music.

" My precious Son, I hear them screaming, I'm watching the face of the enemy beaming, but soon I will clothe You in robes of My Own, Jesus this hurts Me much more than You know."

the greatness of a Dad;
the magnitude of Love He can provide;
the smallest thing He sees(in us).

how many times have we failed to realise the goodness of God,
how many times have we failed to see the littlest thing He did for us, cos its for our own good.
how many times have we treated Him like a shadow.

not anymore. its time to change our "always taking His things for granted" attitude!

(:
don't short change Him, can?

Because i know that we should not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of our mind, then we will be able to test and approve what God's will is- His good, pleasing and perfect will. :) And i also know that we should put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light; to be the guiding light that many may see and follow and return to the arms of thy First Love, and then i will rejoice rejoice rejoice because baa baa black sheep no longers only offer 3 bags full of wool but more because she stood firmly on the ground where she ought to be at and did not even waver a tad bit throughout. and thats because she knows the exact direction she's walking towards(& confident of it), which therefore give her no reason to continue following the sheep that's just infront of her blindly like how baa baa used to be. :)

Because we know that we are different and we need to make a stand for God, for whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.

Fact is, Christ died and returned to life so that He might be the Lord of both the living and the dead.

Hence we need to watch out for those who cause divisions and put obstacles in our way that are contrary to the teaching we have learnt. Keep away from them, for such individuals are not serving our Lord Christ, but their own appetites, by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the minds of naive people.

Romans helps(:

was asked if i were to live a second time how would i want it to be. cliche answer, its to erase all the regrets in life and fill the spaces with joyful memories(right rina?). then again, why not start now, start living it to the fullest, the way we want it to be, then there won't be an "if" at the start of every sentence. live life with a purpose and an end in mind, this will give us no excuses to deviate from His plans(:

we all know that He's awesome!:)

Guess sometimes we really take things around us for granted. we dont see what the other yearn for from us & we keep asking for more. yes, it's nothing wrong asking for more but we have to learn to be contented with what we have. or maybe should i say that humans are contradicting at times?

has life become complicated or its just all of us? people thinking too much about life and forgot to let go and let God do His work? when you're in the picture, you don't see what others see.
