This is already the last week of school! :) I mean, lessons lah. :)

And andd anddd.... i think we all face many petty issues every day of our lives. :) The consolation i can find in that - we're all constantly pettily irritating people, and we're all constanly getting pettily irritated! :) Haha. (Reminded me of CHC service...) So i cant exactly not get irritated, or i cant exactly stop irritating people... but for starts, to not get irritated at what im not supposed to, or actually, not to get irritated by petty issues at all.

The scary thing is not about the petty issues though, it always lies with the bigger issues of life. :)

That's something we're all still learning how to deal with.

I'm feeling... slightly down... but at the end of the day (ok, end of my thoughts for now), i know that God still has a good plan and purpose for me. I'd be happy in, counting down, 3.2.1.

Happiness that overflows. :) Haha.

If i get to post all these in a more lyrical manner, i can start writing my own psalms already lah. Starting with "oh God my enemies (like the cold air con, frizzy hair, unnice ppl) are against me, where are You" then ending with "praise the Lord oh my soul".... haha... i always had this funny thought that in our current context, any psalm wld just be almost emo (esp for teenagers who lead a good life and have nothing better to do other than do manufacture something out of nothingness....)

Haha... i was falling asleep after i finished checking my quiz twice and wondering why people around me were still frantically calculating stuff... Hmmm... :)

I AM OFFICIALLY HAPPY. :) Muahahahahahahaa. :)

Rain

Haha it was pretty raining a lot over the past couple of days.

Alllll that nostalgia comes back again and again when it's the rainy day. :) I love it when it rains and i'm indoors, cos it gives a warm and fuzzy i'm-sheltered-and-cared-for feeling. :) Esp raining at night (add a bit of thunder and lighting) and when i'm at home when no one else is at home and i'm jamming my usual fav songs on media player. That's my theory. :)

Shaunster mentioned at prayer that it always rains when something good is happening (hahahhaa, there was one day when it was raining and i went to sms him, "eh, it's raining a lot nowadays so there are a lot of good things happening right?"), andddd...

Well he brought up the example of when we were going for fresh fire AG conference. That was like... before my final exams last year. It was going to pourrrr... and i remember sitting with Bel and Shaunster at Hans at Trinity, and i saw the dark clouds looming (imagine scenery... paya lebar there got not many tall buildings... so you get a very clear picture of the sky). And then i remember messaging and calling and volunteering myself to pick up some people from singpost and chasing them to come before it starts raining like crazy. That was the asia con time too. :) And then i went down to my car to actually studyyyyyy marketing! :) That was a special day.

Well there was another time when it was raininggg heavily. The GoP family movie night, when my mummy said the sinner's prayer, it was raining too. That was also, another special day.

A few weeks ago when i went to the airport... it was raining too! :) Not that heavily though, thank God the bus brings me all the way to T2 straight. :) Viewing gallery was cool, but you dont see much when its raining? Haha. :) That was another special day. :)

Yeps, cheers to happy special days. :)

My purpose is found in You

You see the thing is - "i live to glorify God" means different things for different people. :)

I'm not going to ponder too much about this subject...

But birthdays just make me think about how i want to live my life... what accomplishments i wanna have, what kinda career do i wanna have, but more than the superficial resume stuff, the values i wanna bring and the convictions i wanna live by.

It's easier to see the small picture by looking at how it fits into the big one. :)

Ipod! :)

Haha... maybe i do need to get a ipod... :)

My photos and music take up almost 70gb of my harddisk space! :)

:)

But shall work hard for it! :) Yay. :)

All Things New

Remember when the Israelites went out of Egypt they had manna every morning (other than the Sabbath day) which they couldn’t keep to the next day? J The incense in the tabernacle was burnt every morning (Exo 30:7), that means our prayers must rise up anew every morning! Even the meat for fellowship offering for thanksgiving cannot be kept till the next morning!

 

But can you remember how much people like to hold things and emotions across the days? J Haha…

 

But in the same way you don’t keep the manna across the days (if not it’ll get stinky and rot and decompose), you don’t bring your anger or sadness over across days!

 

Lamentations 3:21-23,

“Yet this I call to mind 
       and therefore I have hope:

Because of the LORD's great love we are not consumed, 
       for his compassions never fail.

They are new every morning; 
       great is your faithfulness.”

 

Once the morning comes and the sun rises, it’s a NEW day and ALL THINGS are made new!

 

All things are made new – your emotions, your soul, your spirit, your mind. And not just you! Your friends are renewed as well… don’t think bad about them across different days because THEY are a NEW PERSON every single morning! (Psalm 30:5)

 

Zepheniah 3:5,

“The LORD within her is righteous; 
       he does no wrong. 
       Morning by morning he dispenses his justice, 
       and every new day he does not fail, 
       yet the unrighteous know no shame.”

 

If you look at the above verse, God dispenses justice EVERY MORNING! The Chinese have a saying… about leopard cant change its spots right? But the fact is this – in God’s Kingdom, change and renewal happens every day! J Give yourself a chance to renew yourself every morning… and give your friends and the people around you a chance to be a better person too. J Only the unrighteous are the ones who don’t change and don’t let others change every morning. J

 

Also, If renewal takes place specifically in the morning and EVERY DAY, let’s make sure we seek the Lord every single day so that we get refreshed and renewed in body, soul and spirit every day. Don’t live on the anointing from yesterday… because today is a NEW revalation, a NEW encounter, a NEW anointing, a NEW spirit of flesh to be placed in you!

 

HE MAKES ALL THINGS NEW!

 

Isaiah 65:17, “Behold, I will create new heavens and a new earth. The former things willnot be remembered, nor will they come to mind.”

 

I discovered that there was this journal - "Asian Journal for Pentecostal Studies" - in my school elibrary! Haha. :)

Crazy right. :)

Maybeeeeee i can just have seminary info just in my own school now. :)
