Random Thoughts

Here are some thoughts i had lately over the few things i learnt from cell and the 40day community series we're doing now in church...

The (intensity/method/amount/effort i put in) of love i give to others is directly proportional to the love i have experienced and constantly have with Jesus my God in my relationship with Him

Is God really worth following even say... if he didn't die for us, nor he didn't give us salvation? - Thankfully He DID!

i was in such a reflective mood/mode (whatever way of saying it) that i had the insipiration to come up with a word document about what i want/aspire to do with my life. my goodness i shocked myself with the things i want to do! so many of them..

- what amazing/crazy things do you have in store for me God? use me. I'm yours.

Decisions Decisions

Thank God for a good first week.

Managed to get my electives, got a feel of what each module is all about and having fun just being around with my friends... i can't be more contented.

My church has started this 40 days together in community series just last week and this week's theme is centred around love. Love not just merely worldy and selfish love. But an agape love(unconditional) which in some ways deemed as 'supernatural' love. Because its something that is not part of our nature. Its just so hard to love! especially those who are so unlovable. sheesh (i can just think of a few right now)

If we have truly experienced God's love (and wanna continue dwelving and experiencing this breakthrough kind of love), we would wanna allow God's love to flow through us to love others as well. Its like modelling after Jesus.

God's love for us gives us the reason to love others
God's love in us gives us the ability to love others
God's love through us gives us the way to love others

So God please help me to not be fussy about who to love. i think i'm guilty of loving only those whom i want to love. And even for those who love me, i wanna learn how to cherish them, think about them and pray for them as well. I should stop taking people for granted.

Maybe in this way, continually loving others, i would be able to stop thinking that i'm unloved, useless, slow or whine that im the only child and engage in all that self pity once again.

So help me to go about doing it.

Yup.

Prayer Requests - Pray that i can go about committing to my current commitments and at the same time manage time and money wisely. And godly wisdom and guidance even as i take up new commitments.

A sore leg and a headache

what better way to start the year ahead other than having a soccer game!
yup this time it was at the khalsa association at tessensohn road off balestier road.

its my first time playing in a cage with synthetic grass. was quite a good runabout i shall say. haven't really been exercising like since forever.
well i'm more than happy that i scored a couple of goals.. :)
bummer though i got myself a sore leg. now i'm limping. puh.

went to have a nap later and churned out a headache.
hm. dinner later at clarqe quay!

Happy New 09

the clock struck 12. the lights went out. the lights came on.
there were smiles. many shaking of hands.
well wishes.

i didnt really know how to feel then. every time there is a watchnight service, i wonder what you are thinking God or how are you feeling then... father you see our hearts. you see how much we want to start and end the year with you. we see that nothing happens by chance in this life. you are moulding us to be who you want us to be. year after year, though we cant see any significance sometimes in the things we are doing, you can. we are nothing but you are something. sometimes we don't think we are nothing enough to know you are actually something. for that we're sorry God.

i want to place 2009 into your loving hands God. please take my hand and continue to walk this journey of life with me.
