A few things

A Time for EverythingEcclesiastes 3:1-14
New Living Translation

For everything there is a season,
a time for every activity under heaven.
A time to be born and a time to die.
A time to plant and a time to harvest.
A time to kill and a time to heal.
A time to tear down and a time to build up.
A time to cry and a time to laugh.
A time to grieve and a time to dance.
A time to scatter stones and a time to gather stones.
A time to embrace and a time to turn away.
A time to search and a time to quit searching.
A time to keep and a time to throw away.
A time to tear and a time to mend.
A time to be quiet and a time to speak.
A time to love and a time to hate.
A time for war and a time for peace.What do people really get for all their hard work? I have seen the burden God has placed on us all.

Yet God has made everything beautiful for its own time. He has planted eternity in the human heart, but even so, people cannot see the whole scope of God’s work from beginning to end. So I concluded there is nothing better than to be happy and enjoy ourselves as long as we can. And people should eat and drink and enjoy the fruits of their labor, for these are gifts from God.

A few things:

1) NO SMSES
this month’s crazy, i hope i didnt exceed too much. all m1 customer’s fault. WHY CANT EVERYONE BE SINGTEL SO I HAVE FREE 1000 SMSES???? =(((

boohoo. poor me. i’m just too popular eh? =) heh

gee. 1155 smses. no joke huh.

2) i gotta get my life back.

so i shall read storybooks =) or rather FIND the time to read storybooks

3) SAVE MONEY

so i can subscribe to the economist without feeding on my mum’s money. the ST is really getting boring..

4) make sure my daisies don’t die. =) *insiders info required. (:

5) exercise.

6) be more responsible.

like, for example, don’t go watch movies when there’s elective homework to do =) AND don’t play bridge when there’s homework to do so you don’t have to sleep at 1am.

7) be more self conscious.

esp out of VJ haha.

8) call yiying (:
yes you darling yes you. haha.

9) call eleanor.

10) call mondy.

count your fingers and toes, that’s how long it’ll take to let you go.

don’t break my heart now. (:

i’m not letting it go to any one of you

i feel dreary.

maybe that’s only because the sky’s darkening and it feels as if its going to rain.

or maybe that’s only because i am yet to buy shoes to go with my new clothes for chinese new year.

maybe its because the thing that caused me the most headache these few days was ACTUALLY shopping for chinese new year! I get stressed out by the weirdest things. i don’t exactly like shopping.

maybe i’m still adjusting to the expectations the school has of me, the expectations my friends in and out of school have for me. expectations i have doubts about being able to fulfill.

maybe its simply because i’m just lazy.

maybe its the fact that i’m losing touch of myself and becoming more and more like somebody i DON’T recognise. maybe that somebody i don’t recognise, is somebody i don’t like.

the sky is STILL dark.

i went back to sc yesterday, met sarah, debbie, lynn and yingli and subsequently played bridge in acs barker, got lost trying to find the primary school staff room in the secondary school block, and eating a whole bag of peanuts.

yes. peanuts. hamster. *bows* thankyou very much. hahaha.

lynn treated me to cafe cartel yesterday! whoohoo.

she reminded me about things i have forgotten. memories i don’t feel at all guilty about losing. haha. letting go is such bliss.

(:

Now, life calls for the correction of my behaviour. i should spend more time with some people, and spend less with some.

Did i tell you that i lost the first debate i ever did representing VJ? did i tell you that its probably the most upsetting lost i have ever encountered in my life?

haha.

but i’m over that now. but i made tons of stupid mistakes. Shirin was there. ah well.

whoever said losing was easy.

the sky’s brighter now, but it just started raining. how weird.

i’m not letting it go to anyone of you.
my heart is under lock and key.

Extravagant Worship

I’m becoming increasingly selfish I realised. And increasingly hidden as well.

She was right, my flaws are inflated and becoming really obvious.

I don’t update because I really don’t know what to say. Its come to that point when I really have no idea what really is going in side of me because I lose myself so much in school that I have essentially lost touch with myself, and what’s really important.

“You are worthy of our praise”

What really does that mean?

We say that all the time in worship, but many of us just utter the words with empty hearts and distracted minds, and never really attempt to comprehend why God is so worthy, and what is praise.

At Fusion, the pastor said something that made me understand this valuable truth: that God truly wants the best for us.

He created the world. For us. He placed us rulers over all His creation (look what we’ve done lol) and made us to be perfect. IN HIS IMAGE. I mean God’s the best there is! And we were made IN HIS IMAGE. like hinthint??

When we fell from grace, He sent down Jesus, the BEST there is, His only Son to help us make things right with Him. He wanted us so much.

He wanted me so much. He wants me so much that He is knocking on the door of my heart everyday, blessed me with answered prayers, and keeps on blessing me even when I don’t thank Him.

If God’s the best there is, if He gave up perfection to come down and live among the imperfect, to eat with the imperfect, to teach to the imperfect, to DIE FOR the imperfect, to give them the breath of eternal life through faith

then i think He deserves so much more than the inconsistent highs and lows of my life.

Marcus showed us the Mighty to Save video that day and the only thing i can remember is this: that anything we do, if our heart is set on Jesus, it is worship. Worship is a lifestyle.

Extravagant Worship.

Extravagant worship in me.
