Pot Luck of Blessings

Today was a very encouraging day speaking and discussing with the young ones at youth. It was really refreshing to get an insight into how they view Christianity, and I was so blessed to hear some of their testimonies. Well and all these just as I was pondering over the seemingly repetitive mediocrity my Christian life has come to settle to. 

So it was really such a blessing to hear how my youth member first came to church. And his stories of perseverance in inviting his friends after joining the big fam. 

Somehow when I feel down at church, God always has a way of encouraging me by creating the opportunity to share with others my own experiences. As I share I somehow begin to realise just how far I've come, and just how much I have to thank God for. 


Indeed I am ever so grateful to you Lord, for being tolerating my whiny mortal self. 
I thank you for always encouraging me with little little occurrences such as these :)

I'm so happy to have met you in the first place. And I think I need to remind myself of that every once in awhile. 

Despite of it all, the very fact that I got to know you and be your friend in your time of need is  enough. Truly. 

And looking back, I am ever so grateful that you've made all these might-have-been-awkward situations so easy and not in the least bit awkward. You've likewise been a very good friend, and that in itself is something I should be thankful for. 

Thank You, 
In memory of the blues.

First Love

Image
When I think about the topic mentioned above, all the bittersweet feelings and memories flood back. Well, people usually get all mushy talking about this, whether or not the outcome was good. I mean, isn't it something learning to love another person for the first time, someone who isn't blood-related? Someone who could be a complete stranger, as far as blood lines go?  For some incomprehensible reason, I just felt like writing about this. Probably because I never really addressed this matter personally in black and white. Maybe for most people, their first love came in the form of a girlfriend or boyfriend. Well, mine came in the form of a best friend. Yes, my first love could be all the more memorable. Memorable, I would say in the way that it taught me painful lessons. Painful but meaningful lessons. I guess I have said this many times, but  love is really loving the person even if he/she doesn't love you the same way .  Which basically goes to say, that ...

i sing praises to your name

i just really wanna thank God for speaking to me and assuring me in some stuffs. He has really been a great comfort during these few days, as well as during my trip. well, wanna know more, you can always ask me in person. and i don't know about you guys, but reading back through old entries in my spriritual journal can be a great source of ideas, wisdom, and reminders to me. haha, i might've not really pay attention to what i was journalling at that time, (well, cause sometimes when you do devotion, you can be really tired and unfocused kan), but when reading them back, they really do make sense! ;) some of the unusual ways God works. anyway, here is a passage in the Bible which was like right on point for me. *pause* suddenly thought of this wonderful song, God is the Strength of My Heart . it's a great song.=) ok continue XD. taken from Isaiah 51. vs 14-16 "The cowering prisoners will soon be set free; for they will not die in their dungeon, nor will they lack brea...

He's Not The One 2

^ The title above refers to a poem with the same title that I wrote back in high school. After church camp, my mind was opened a little to the notion that maybe, just maybe, he isn't the right one. I guess the past two years, I have been so caught up with my feelings in this un-burstable bubble that I could not view the whole situation in a more sensible fashion. Indeed, I was waiting for the time that I could step back and look at my problem from the outside. Camp was my chance. I was far from my source of misery, closer to other people  in general. The chance I got to meet some other friends in the past weeks has also helped me a lot and I'm so very thankful to the Lord for sending all these marvellous people. I got to look at my situation from a totally different point of view. They might not know it, but talking to the two awesome Js was quite a big help and release. And then there was my Kor and my favourite siblings . Haha, that's why currently I'm an advo...
