I had a busy full on weekend! which was epic! had a lot of things going on.
I had a conversation with a friend and we were talking about our youth group.
One thing he said was, its great and all but there could be more to be done.
If you really want to make it epic you need to start owning it. It has to be yours.
Something you really want to be part of. Then it really hit me, you could do all
the fun stuff but if you don't own it and really know and be part of it, you'll never
"fit in" unless you fit yourself in. You have to be excited about it! Really want to
improve it and love it. One of the many revelations of my life.

Anyways with thanks giving and all, I had a lot to thank for. Like finishing my gradshow prep
in less than a week! :3 Praise God. And my set up wasnt bad either! :) God is good.

Grace is unfair,
it is sacrifice,
it is not
about rights;
or equality.
Grace is about extending a hand to the people who feel are undeserved.
Grace is about forgiveness.
not the kind where a person comes up to you to say sorry and you say you forgive them
but the kind where you say you forgive them without them even saying a word.

sick of playing the game of religion, I'm tired of losing my reason for living!

I think the Lord reminded me how important it is to seek Him. That christian life isn't just some free and easy ticket to heaven. Everything in your life is still there, the problems etc but God promises to be there with you whether you know it or not.

I watched this and I relate.


Forgiveness is not just about getting it. It is about not going back.
You have to just throw it away. Don't go back and take back your trash.
Will you forgive yourself. That's what they end up with and then it strikes me;
I ask God for forgiveness but do I truely forgive myself?
Do I need to keep a reminder?
Why do I keep going back if I've already have forgiveness.

Like Paul in Phillippians 3:1-14
He says in v8 that everything that he thought was of value, he now considers trash.
Forgiveness is about moving on. It's about letting go and letting God.

I thought it was quite interesting.
Do you forgive yourself?

God bless chu! :)

I know this post has been long awaited.
I was hospitalised. what can I say? :P

anyways. I was reading Jeremiah 1-2 today.
The overview is about the turning to other gods other than the Lord
I thought it was interesting and so true.
Israel had other idols even though they saw God in so many things.
But how true is that, its still the same. We know how capable God is.
We know what miracles He can do but we still turn away.
If we are talking about flesh vs Spirit,
we should stop feeding the flesh and start feeding the Spirit.
Is it harder to do so, yes but that's the thing.
No one said christian life was easy or without suffering.

But anyway, the thing that strike me the most was c2 v11.
It reads
Has a nation ever changed its gods? (Yet they are not gods at all.)
But my people have exchanged their Glory for worthless idols.

exchange Glory? for worthless idols? what does that even mean?
wait a min, what does Glory mean?
Glory can mean a lot of things, usually its 'we have a glorious victory' etc.
But in hebrew, Glory is mostly rendered. It is given like a birth right.

If you've never heard Jaeson Ma's Glory (Its a song)
you should. It speaks mountains about Glory.
God has given us Glory. Not just any kind, we have His Glory. We share in it because we are part of it.
If I make sense here. On the other hand, that Glory is rightfully yours but likewise, it is yours to do with.
Which means, the Glory that God so rightfully gave to you can be taken away easily if you do not guard yourself.
It is Glory which sets you apart.


Oh a side note,
While searching for what Glory is, the word honor comes up.
Are they linked? I would think so.

Very cool meaning of honor. It talks about the weight.
When the bible says honor your parents, its not just talking about one day out of the whole year.
It's talking about one year out of a whole year.
It is not something thoughtless and dealt with neglect.
Thought for 365 days.


Good day to you guys!
God bless youu! :)

To many,
Life is like a dream,
its when you wake up,
that reality really hits.

I say this because, life in the human sense is only so long but life in itself is eternal.
But also in fact, many of us like to stay in our dream world because we feel its safe and you are free to do whatever you want, think whatever you think. The possibilities are endless. But in reality this "safe haven" only continues to mock our pity for our self-imposed limitations. We believe that we are limited beings and that's what really is the changing factor. it shields us from the truth, truth that sets us free. The truth of the matter is we are more than able because God is able and we should not be complaining about our limits but rather asking God to help us go beyond those limits. That in itself is an everyday miracle.

For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline. (2 Timothy 1:7)

You are not as limited as you think you are! :)
You are not a timid scardy cat
You are a fierce warrior for the Lord of course! :)

God bless everyone! :D

the break off of the chain
bust of energy against my body
an impact that could send me flying
oxygen rushing to my heart
it beat like a drum
a ticktock clock with a rising constant
built up excitement
ready to explode in a moment of release.

FREEDOMM~


I was bored.. xD
Ps John talked about honor and I realised that honor is something that has to be given. When I heard about honor, it was a reminder that perhaps I am not showing enough honor. It says in the bible, to honor your parents and you will live a long life. That being said, I realised that we live in a world of the broken, where families are not as functional as they seem on the surface. It is a very sad fact. I realise that I should treasure my parents more and by honoring them. And I thankyou God for showing me that :)
