an attempt to electronize my gp homework. hahhh.
actually, life's recently been kinda hectic for me to actually say whats been happening. alot of things la. haha. j2's life seriously is a whirl, is a breeze. cause 1 month past alr. and there's only 105 school days left. 105 points of difference. infact less than that, cuase time is simply ticking away.
and its yet in these times of rush and puff that you just want to freeze those moments which you enjoy, and then just stay in that split second, to indulge in-- but thats simply escapism. ha. that'll never come. cause thats life!
and im so glad that i always have sucha good and sturdy Big Guy up there to go through life with. hah. BGUT. new acronym aye.
certain points to take note.
i mustnt allow my own muse to replace time, really spent talking to you.
i mustnt let mundane life suck me into routines that i forget whats big ahead. whatever that truly matters at the end.
i mustnt neglect God.
i must be more disciplined.
now to just, look at what jeremiah has to say...
i have a new hp number. bug me for it if you want. ha.
it kinda suddenly hit me how lost people can get. about what they think, what they do and feel. and they need proper guidiance and mentorship cause they all have a good heart in the end.
ahhh i hate to get caught in mundane routinal living.
we were all created for something more. something greater for God. something that He can use us powerfully with.
i hate it when i see ppl's life in a wreck, and i somehow cant point them properly out even though the solution's in me. but then its cause, the solution/direction is sth thats... ingrained in my heart and you cant give your heart away?
LOL. ok, random muses. dont make sense. ://////
GODDDD. thanks for using me tonight during cg! =) im so glad to be able to serve. wahahah.
ha! just came back from dinner at this new cafe/restaurant at dhoby exchange called just acia. its a pretty good place. it offers a set meal, with free flow drinks, coffees, and ice cream all from $5.90 onwards. i sound as if i work there and am furious to advertise it. its environment quite nice too. cause dhoby exchange quiet ulu and quiet. so its a great place for sharing if you'd like. =)

Some snippets from the news letter from Rick Warren's Ministry Toolbox. Anyone one can ask me for the link ehh. haha.
The greater the opposition, the more you need to pray. Don’t take it out on other people; talk it out with God. That’s what Nehemiah does.
Leaders must build and battle at the same time. You never leave the wall to fight the enemy. You could spend all your time putting out fires and never complete what God has called you to do.
When you’re under attack, if the devil can get you to focus on the opposition, he’s won a major victory. You either focus on the opposition or you focus on the Lord.
The secret of success is to simply outlast your critics. There is nothing the devil would rather do more than make you stall on what God is calling you to do. Don’t let him do that. You’ve got to be persistent.
nights. signing off....
as a reminder --isaiah 6:5-75 "Woe to me!" I cried. "I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the LORD Almighty."
6 Then one of the seraphs flew to me with a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with tongs from the altar. 7 With it he touched my mouth and said, "See, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away and your sin atoned for."
i think i shall learn to blog meaningfully. so... yea.
anyway, still many areas of growth, and many areas to hope and trust God in.
and i think Orientation today's quite a success! at least for Thutmose, cause I really believe that despite not winning the final title, that everyone did enjoy themselves throughout and etc. anw, its now a period for all of them to get to know each other more on an individual basis since the momentum is thr for them to mix ard.
and i'm so thankful for the bonds established in this orientation. thankyou God for this group and for moving in their hearts. continue to work through me God! =)ok, now for OG outing on sunday. and the next spree to clear the workpile. :/
when the going gets tough, the tough gets going.
school starts, and this reminds me of all the stress and the workload. and how A's are coming and its 2wice or even 3x worst than O's. and all that comes along with it.
stretched.anyway, orientation's here! And i thank God for the people He put in my OG. quite open, responsive, and they are really co-operative. even some of the girls which i thought previously to be really quiet and all. but i guess, not to judge every book by its cover, and then there's the power of girls from girls school...
and and, ahh. Finale's tomorrow... this orientation's really short eh. :/ but oh well, better for my studies...
and oh, my new year resolutions! i must must must must fulfill themm! shall devote a post to it soon.
ok, shld be off now. ciao.
