fop!
lz's lg staying over which means tomato's gonna be here!
tofu (kinda i guess)

how, Lord?
"if it's just your own human weakness, then you should go for it."
"if you think you're not ready, then don't."

i think i'm not ready, but You called.
how can i not answer?

i need time.
but i say yes, Lord.


"
we dont have enough knowledge about the Bible to answer the deepest questions. and i guess as we grow we'll find more answers along the way. hmm and perhaps there are some things in which we will never understand. we're just human. i dont know, sometimes we forget that we're talking about God here, the Almighty One, Alpha and Omega, beginning and the end, you know? like now we just blame Him and ask him so many questions because we want to know these things. but we always forget to fear Him. like in the old Testament no one could meet Him except like the Holiest people right? and now because of Jesus we can talk to Him like anywhere everytime we want. That's by His grace. but He's still God and maybe we should give Him the respect that's due. haha actly i know you know this already la. just saying. i dont have all the answers about like my life also :/ but idk i'm just trying to be happy now and live it the way He wants me to you know? if there's one thing i know, its this. God loves me and wants me to love Him back. loving him back means many things. being obedient. spending time with Him. spreading the Word. Abstaining from Sin. so many!

its crazy
but He holds my hand all the way
and i guess... that's enough for me.

미안 해, 사랑해 2:14 PM

braces aren't so bad, i guess(:
at least when you only have upper ones? haha its bearable, although it makes eating so much harder.

and yes i still can talk! (:

Jay Chou concert yesterday was nothing less than awesome.
it's the closest i've even gotten to him(yes sad) and seriously he looked and smiled at me ike 10 times! :D :D

haha whatever. i'm not that crazy anymore, but it was definitely a good concert(:
i'd say S.H.E's concert was nicer though, i felt more emotionally attached and i almost cried.
Jay Chou's concert was very cool because of all the technology(freaking awesome), but i didnt really get the flow and all. and at the end i was like ._. ): D: kind.

anyways, he is sooo cute(: i love his cute grand piano(actually its a keyboard come on) and his crazy guitar banging/strumming/fretboarding skillz and alll his live singing is lovee. esp 雨下一整晚!
he really keeps growing and i'm so proud of him for everything, staying true to himself, and overcoming dancing and becoming so amazingly good(:
“放心,我不会那么轻易得倒下,谁叫我是周杰伦”
你说的,陪你走下一个十年。一言为定!

sigh i think i spent like at least 500 bucks from my savings on his concert merchandise, tickets, albums and what not though.

and although it was reallyreally a great time i'm sad i had to miss choir cuz of braces.
i wonder what it'd feel like if it were my last prac D:

love you all.
因为关心,因为心疼,因为爱护,所以在乎。

사랑합니다 그댈 10:50 PM

Philippians 4:6-7 (New Living Translation)

6 Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. 7 Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.



Prayer + Faith = Peace

yes, the most important formula on earth.

Hannah(woman of prayer) + Lois(woman of faith) = Examplary Peace(Her chinese name)

this is just (Y).
when i get married and have kids, their names must have as much meaning as this(:
(see? i used "when". answered your question(: )

Lausy has been teaching me Korean! (:
i love korean the words are all so cute!! :D
it is fun. 정말!

在你耳边轻轻唱 11:45 PM

都怪那晚的月光
浪漫的让人心慌
其实原来没有怎样
只是夜有一点凉
爱忽然难舍难放

弯弯月亮在天上
看我们爱的痴狂
什么誓言都不要讲
我的吻在你肩膀
在你耳边轻轻唱


圆圆月亮在天上
看人们聚散无常
一个人在街上游荡
爱恨心里已两茫茫
yeah 我没有想像坚强

初一十五的月亮(有些忧伤)
天天变得不一样(在你脸上)
原来所谓地久天长
也只是误会一场
那首歌我慢慢唱


深深的一段情
成了回忆到如今
我问你爱我有多深你爱我有几分
你去想一想你去看一看
月亮代表谁的心


---

will post more tomorrow.
i love worship. and worship pracs.
we are hilarious.
colleen is fantastic i just love her.
and rachiek is awesome(:
so tired.

dude, you're standing on a line between giving up and throwing everything away, and seeing how much more you can take.
please dont break.

---

Come to me, all of you who are tired from carrying heavy loads, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke and put it on you, and learn from me, because I am gentle and humble in spirit; and you will find rest. For the yoke I will give you is easy, and the load I will put on you is light.

Matthew 11:28-30


(from jocie's blog)

I learnt:

Give affirmation when it's due.
Even when the person doesnt look like she needs it.

Whywhywhywhywhy ):
you make me sad.
spending time with you makes me feel really lousy.
vice versa huh.

God help me.

the power of three! (random) 10:50 PM

omg tomato i forgot how i always loved this song as a child too!




In whom I can trust
You are the Lord, in whom I can trust
You are the Rock I can stand upon
With each step of the way
You take my hand and say
You will always be here right beside me
When I call on You, I know You’ll come to me

You are my Lord, in whom I can trust
You are my fortress, You’re my deliverer,
My shield, my strength

For all my days,
I place my hope in Jesus
Who loved me with His life,
The Rock of my salvation
In whom I can trust.

Marriage 8:35 PM

I chanced upon the following blogpost:

Recently Newsweek published a series of articles debating whether marriage was still desirable (let alone necessary), coming to an unsubtle conclusion that it was not.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer would say otherwise:

Marriage is more than your love for each other. It has a higher dignity and
power, for it is God’s holy ordinance, through which He wills to perpetuate the
human race till the end of time. In your love you see only your two selves in
the world, but in marriage you are a link in the chain of the generations, which
God causes to come and to pass away to His glory, and calls into His
kingdom.

In your love you see only the heaven of your own happiness, but in marriage
you are placed at a post of responsibility towards the world and mankind. Your
love is your own private possession, but marriage is more that something
personal – it is a status, an office. Just as it is the crown, and not merely
the will to rule, that makes the king, so it is marriage, and not merely your
love for each other, that joins you together in the sight of God and man.

As you first gave the ring to one another and have now received it a second
time from the hand of the pastor, so love comes from you, but marriage from
above, from God. As high as God is above man, so high are the sanctity the
rights, and the promise of marriage above the sanctity, the rights, and the
promise of love. It is not your love that sustains the marriage, but from now
on, the marriage that sustains your love.

I have thought about it, and I don't think there's any way to defend the necessity of marriage from a secular point of view. I would say it offers increased assurance of the depth of commitment of both parties but nowadays that doesn't seem to be true anymore. You may certainly deem a marriage desirable for many reasons, but from a secular point of view, I don't think that you can argue marriage is a necessary institution (whether marriage is a right is a whole different question...). But then again I have a biased point of view that is not even entirely clear what the current secular definition of marriage is.

Posted by denise at 7/05/2010 04:58:00 PM

A reminder to self.
I guess I allowed my thinking to be influenced, almost accepting the worldly point of view.
I'd forgotten what God had to say about marriage.

:D

Please take over, Lord.
Then i won't forget, won't be shaken.
Won't need to have a spiritual high every camp, cuz i'll always be in you anyway.


PS CHIA WE NEED TO TALK! :D

For God's foolishness is wiser than human wisdom, and God's weakness is stronger than human strength.

The Man In The Bowler Hat
by A.S.J. Tessimond

I am the unnoticed, the unnoticable man:
The man who sat on your right in the morning train:
The man who looked through like a windowpane:
The man who was the colour of the carriage, the colour of the mounting
Morning pipe smoke.

I am the man too busy with a living to live,
Too hurried and worried to see and smell and touch:
The man who is patient too long and obeys too much
And wishes too softly and seldom.

I am the man they call the nation's backbone,
Who am boneless - playable castgut, pliable clay:
The Man they label Little lest one day
I dare to grow.

I am the rails on which the moment passes,
The megaphone for many words and voices:
I am the graph diagram,
Composite face.

I am the led, the easily-fed,
The tool, the not-quite-fool,
The would-be-safe-and-sound,
The uncomplaining, bound,
The dust fine-ground,
Stone-for-a-statue waveworn pebble-round

everything will be alright; be strong, believe 10:29 AM

As the years go by
or so I try
To hide my face
spread my wings and fly

But no matter how high
I take to the sky
Still I fall
Until at last I lie

And wonder why my dreams
split apart from the seams
And now all that is left
is nothing but a silverfish, gleaned

Oh, of the pastures so sweet and green
I no longer dream.

XD How pathetic, both the character and the poem.

hey, you're really cool, you know that?
when i saw you run out of class i was super sad. when i went to find you, you werent where i thought you would be. please stay strong. you and i both know that math can go and jump off a cliff. and yes, trust in God's plan anyway.

you tried your hardest, ily.

大地被摇晃著 天空突然黑了
我的心也被震碎了 下一秒瓦解了
泪堆积成了河

但明天是好的 我们要坚定著
爱让我们不放弃活著
还要继续和大自然拔河


当爱与希望 投射炙热的太阳
昨日泪光 会随时间都蒸发
别轻易放弃 明天要许更多愿望
装满了勇气就更有力量

当爱与希望 倒映暖暖的月亮
再回头望 又是筑好的家乡
我知道未来 还有好多路要闯
我打开了窗看见了晴朗

Our Choice 12:52 AM

open faces coated over
hopeful eyes glazed white
trying to please
the laughter rings empty
see-through smiles

looking for approval
finding none
turning away
looking for approval

who's to say it was really even
our choice
to make anyway?


what
we do not see
we do not believe
what
we believe
we think we know
what
we do not know
we do not see

we hurt stumble laugh and cry
we do not live

who's to say it was really even
our choice
to make anyway?


but
it is.

Some wrongs need to be set right 11:39 PM

Keeping in step- it’s that hard. But no one ever said it would be easy.

Today, there are some things I realized about myself. Things I have been doing wrong. Some are becoming habits; some have already become a part of me, some are traps I fell into.

Knowing is the first step! I must change.

I can feel myself changing, growing.
But I ask to grow in You only. Take away the bad, keep the good, put in the new; mold me and shape me.

And nothing else matters, life will just follow.

( Grr there’s so much more I want to say but cant! Blogger cannot lock posts D: so….WORDPRESSS?)
