colleenybaby, u said i gave you hope, with what i told you.
but sometimes i try real hard to believe what i say too.
quite frankly, i dont think IT exists. maybe probably.
some day. someday we'll know.
you all should get this song, a place called grace, by philip craig&dean.
the wisest person to me, sent me this song, just when i was feeling so utterly hopeless, let me just tell you what he said. in his blog(he's got a blog!)
The song begins with a verse about the prodigal son, as he reaches the point of desperation and cries out to God to let him come home. A song which inspired me. how many times have i turned away? how many times have i run on my own strength? how many times have i disobeyed? how many times have i felt down and disappointed in the Lord? how many times have i been persecuted? Yet there is still a place called home (grace). We are saved by grace through faith, not works: "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith--and this not from youselves, it is the gift of God--not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do " (Eph. 2:8,9).
" For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. It teaches us to say 'No' to ungodliness and worldly passions and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, while we wait for the blessed hope--the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, who gave himeslf for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good. These, then, are the things you should teach. Encourage and rebuke with all authority. Do not let anyone despise you " (Titus 2:11-15). "
A Placed Called Grace - Philip Craig & Dean
so many years I heard it told... the story of compassion
a prodigal son who left the fold, but found no satisfaction
on my knees, Lord, I cried out to you, I'm so alone
but if there's room in your house for one more
i'm ready to come back home
i know there is a place where arms of compassion welcome me home
sweet mercy falls like rain... I know there is a place called grace
so many days I've trusted grace, yet I have to wonder
how many times my human strength has kept me from surrender
the more I learn just to lean on the cross, the more I see
when I fall, I will fall to the place where mercy reaches me... reaches me
i know there is a place where arms of compassion welcome me home
sweet mercy falls like rain... I know there is a place called grace
if it seems that my courage is strong... There's just one reason
he's my rock when my faith is all gone
he holds me in his arms give me strength to carry on
i know there is a place where arms of compassion welcome me home
sweet mercy falls like rain... I know there is a place called grace
there are only 2 wise persons in my entire life whom God has so graciously sent for me to know them personally. one's mingyang, the future pastor, and jestyn, the future youth pastor. (: i think j's the wisest, but he says he's not. if he's not, i dunnknow who is.
anyhow, i've been feeling really stress pissed, and so out of this world. and this song really takes me to a different place. it calms my nerves, and brings me to my knees. alot of tiringsadangryfragile matters have been running through my head. but it doesnt really matter. yes, they dont.
I know there is a place where arms of compassion welcome me home
Sweet mercy falls like rain... I know there is a place called grace
He's my rock when my faith is all gone
He holds me in his arms give me strength to carry on

(: about saturday!
ROBIN, do u know that we all got to watch singapore dreaming, umm, ( for free) YESS! and you know why too! althou we already planned to watch the show, God was so kind!(:
mmmmmm.
so we, small guo dan and i went to watch spore dreaming, all the jc ppl wanted to mugg for promos, so YEP, they didnt go. it was quite entertaining(: i laughed real hard when that skinny old men played the symbols for the funeral walk. he looked so happy being an extra, clanging his symbols!
oh wells! after that, self proclaimed SWIFTand SPEEDY nian wanted to eat, cos he was (TERRIBLY) hungry. AND, we took almost an hour or less ASKING him to decide what to eat! LOUSY BOY! not the first time he's so SLOW! what ever , he ended up eating JUST takopachi!
never mind that. we went to dan's house to kill time and get his cam, and after, when back to airport, where jj COLLEEEEEEEN jansen, were mugging. mmm. i think we someone spoilt jj's peace.
im not sure whther u can see smallguo's happy face(: but it was so condratictory to jj's (: hahahahah! just click on the picture will do, it'll magnify itself.
and then we had loads of fun playing around(:
and while we were waiting for ant, there was this ming xing! and sikhi was like: i think he's the actor! and i was like OH YEA, so sikhi gave this wise idea of pretending to take picture but we were actually trying to get his face(: and we didnt know what dan was doing so we were laughing and talking nonsence among ourselves, but the shots turned out alright! and it was pretty clear! althou we look pretty weird but it was fun! and you can actually see the way the actor moved! and he was beaming! smiling for our camera! (not)
graciepoo said she had no idea who he was, and lots of ppl dont really know him too! i wonder why! so i said i really liked him when i was in primary 2, he acted in this drama and suddenly jingyu was like METOO! seeee, at least he's famous to us(:
oh well's the classic picture(: i mean, like out of all the fl and yammers, only 2 people wore this shirt! so cool huh! and all of us, fishcolleenjansendansmallguo and i were like planning how to make them snap a picture together!
we had 3 plans, but they all seemed like they would fail, and suddenly grace was like
you all wanna take pictures just take...
wasted our time planning, tsk tsk.

let those who have ears let him hear, and let those who have eyes, let him see
i think that's my answer to people who think that we're foolishly and blindly following GOD.
i was wondering how to prove our point, and that GOD IS REAL.
and God answered: " those who have eyes let him see, and those who have ears, let him hear."
they CAN see how God has worked in our lives, the awe and never ending love we have for him.
mmmmmmm,
eph 2: 8 says that we are saved by grace THROUGH faith.
this verse has never been clearer. i just realised that it is written so clearly, WE BELIEVE, that we chose to believe, and by faith, we have been saved by his grace. all the what ifs and what ifs not,
if you trust him and love him, and just PUT YOUR FAITH in him, like how you'd put your faith in concealer to hide your pimples, then GOD will reveal himself to you in MANY ways. the miracles and wonders he can do, and how you can hide and rest in his mighty hands - just like concealer!
and then, you'd stop worrying about whether God really exists, cos he'll show you in ways so amazing, that he loves you. mmmmmmmm.

the epitome of idiot
1. when u're waiting for your yong tau foo to come, your group of friends start talking. the lady comes with the yong tau foo, and she's kinda irked cos its been a busy day, the tray is heavy and hot, and people are blocking her path. (in a sense) so she goes, ' hello hello!' in the typical rude singaporean marketplace way.
and this odd pot looks up, beams,waves at her and says HELLO HELLO! (:
(the lady glares at him)
2. he plugs on this weird silver ear plugs that look really weird on him, turns up the mp3 player and starts laughing amusingly at his friends' conversation, though there was nothing funny about what they were saying. his eyes sparkled with enthusiasm, and he bobbed with joy in his seat!
they all turned and stared at him funnily, and he motions and mouths to them to continue.
(he was having a blast watching their muted conversation. right.)
3. when he walks into starbucks, his friend tells him that he knows the starbucks guy, so he can ask for any kind of drink and the starbucks guy will make it. really cool stuff. so his friend ordered some rocking orea cookie-vanilla blended drink.
when it came to the smaller boys turned...
he proudly asked the aunty for tao huay jui. (water in hokkien.) for the love of mankind! who enters starbucks and ask for TAO HUAY JUI. the aunty gave him some mudd- looking drink, black in colored that had the after taste of soyabean milk. yum yum.
4. he happily asks his friends 1=5
2= 25
3= 125
4= 625
5= ?
(ask me for the ans. u'll want to do 5. too)
5. he makes people who want world peace want to stone him.
i have 5 more papers to go! I SMELL FREEDOM. ahhhhhh. (:
frickin excited! cant wait to leave THIS sch!

what a wonderful world-
mmhmmmmmmm.
this study break. so - not very productive.
i just came home from running, and i promised God to study like mad,
YES. i still have 3 days for chem ): rahhh. i love chem! but why must it be the first paper!
on tues, spent the day doing stupid assignments, at night, had dinner with aud, graciepoo, MOJO, and daffy!
it was a time well spent!
i had loads and loads and loads and loads of fun! (:
then yest, andrew asked me whether i wanted to study at NUS.
i didnt mind! so small guo came too!
and well, andrew was late as usual!
anyhow, i had a blast with the odd small guo being super hilarious!
and like when we were going to buy andrew breakfast, he drew us this lousy map of how to get to the canteen.
it was really funny cos small guo and i got lost!
with a louya map.
small guo also said i was a lousy map reader when he was holding the map all the while!
HOW IRONIC.
anyhow, we got to meet the other nus yammers (cos small guo and i were the only fl ppl not counting cgs)
and after all the studying, i reached home in time to watch my samsoon!
thanks for babysitting us androeeey! and for the car ride, and for your notes! and for everything! from the sappyness of drool, to m2m, to disney magics!
this is a formal note to you,
dear androoey,
im sorry we did that too your bear. couldnt resist not doing anything to YOUR cat high bear, i mean, your bear gets stripped everyother car ride, so its like customary. and small guo and i were talking about it outwardly in the car, and you didnt even realise! we dont know why! but this time, the idea was mainly mine, SORRY.

they get this weird look, like they're super pissed.

i only started feeling stressed after that mugger toad daffy laughed at my sleeping time.
TSK.

apparently ivan got so engrossed when i said i used to sleep at 10 when i was in secondary sch- that he missed the exit!
and ended up in pasirris.
