I. shall do a sharing. (:


i don't know about you guys, but i like to listen to songs while i read stuff. hahaha.

ANYWAY, back to my sharing. -clears throat-

so. yesterday i was going through some stress of things and all. Was unhappy about some stuff and i was rather mad. like on the edge of flaring at any possible thing, venting my frustrations at anyone.

I'm sure they would call it the teenage angst. Perhaps, coupled with how strongly i feel about particular things. and hence. the inner storm brewed.

But i didn't snap. Inside was a tornado of angry thoughts and worries and frustrations whipping up and hitting against the walls of my head, but then two songs seeped into the potential calamity.

One of which, was:
Who am I, by Casting Crowns.

And then I felt much better.

Not a gradual calming down, but like this blanket of peace just wholly setting on me, and I felt at peace. Shalom.

It is like a mini-scaled Pandora's box opening, spilling out all its nasty contents, and yet ultimately, you find hope. admidst the storm, you find shelter.

and I thank God for His ever-present nature. (:

Most of us are going through the examinations period, or are preparing for their examinations.

"Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." (Matthew 11:28)

All the best, peeps!

This song is written in a way to encourage fellow Christians in their lives. First of all, this part struck me: "be strong in the lord, never give up hope. You're gonna do great things I already know. God's got his hand on you, so don't live life in fear. Forgive and forget but don't forget why we are here." God has chosen us to be his disciples to serve him in many different ways. When we feel incapable, we must always be reminded that he is in control. A creator of the world having his hands on us. trust in the lord and we will find joy in being the Forces Of Christ. The sermon 2 weeks ago talked about Peter who feared to declare his religion thrice turning into someone who was greatly used by god. I'm sure he would have sang the same thing to us if he is still on earth. Forgive and forget the people who despise you for being "different" when you set a good christian example; because we must not forget why we are here in this school or in this workplace. Enjoy=)

YAY! we all love this verse. oh wait is it just me? Dont let anyone~ haha! :D

anyway, apart from the cute video that helps us efectively memorise 1 Timothy 4:12, a few points from the Daily Bread devotion today. :)

*the importance of personal conduct.
*pay attention to our own spiritual life and to solid doctrine(something that is taught), and we would be a godly example to the church family.
*Let’s live our lives in such a way that those who follow our example will help others in their walk with God.

A good example has more value than good advice.

"...but set an example for the believers~" ;P

Take care everybodyy! Study hard. :)

"Endure hardship with us like a good soldier of Christ Jesus. No one serving as a soldier gets involved in civilian affairs—he wants to please his commanding officer." (2 Timothy 2:3-4)

I decided to post these short verses up because they have direct significance to us. We're Force of Christ aye, arent we? :)

We-ll, the verses basically can be seen to bring about 2 messages. Firstly, being a good soldier of God requires us to endure hardships. i kinda thought about those people whom fought selflessly for democracy in Bodyguards and Assassins. There was passion in their eyes, strength right from their hearts, and when they saw only of the bigger picture, they fought for all they can.

Did they get killed for doing so? yes.
Yet, did that mean that the opposing force was stronger?

Thankfully, not only can we build up the passion in us to fight for Christ, we can pray for courage and strength from Him. yes, right from Him. :)

Also, our ultimate goal is to please God. many times we fail to do so, perhaps to this element we call peer pressure. Do the right thing, and we might have to sacrifice a friendship. i dunno, for it that kinda makes me feel deflated. but am still learning to let go, to let God take control. let's all learn together, yeah? :)

mann, after this sharing i feel like a bad soldier. =X

so anyway, how about sharing about your feelings and thoughts after reading this sharing on the tagboard? it'll be nice to hear your take about these two verses. :)

cheers, yihui.

Yes! This is the day! This is the day! its been sooo long since our blog has ever been updated(psps). I'm here to clear the cobwebs that are accumulated here. Ok, just wanna share about what I "de zao" from 2nd jan of daily bread. It starts off with a driver thinking at the final part of his driving (which is the easiest), he felt that he did not need god (and obviously he screwed up). After my A lvls period, I had the same feeling as the driver. God, I can take over this period of time. I'm thankful that u took me through my A's! God has been kind to me. Yes i must remember that I should share my problems and also my enjoyment with him! Since in heb 13:5 he said that " I am with you and will keep you wherever you go" , there is no reason why we should not do the same. School's starting soon for most of the ppl (not for me though=) ). New class? New friends? New homework? New jobs? For everything we do, ask for his guidance, thank him. Do not wait till you feel you need him then you get close to him and call for him. He is more than just a SOS hotline=) Once again, this is the day! This is the day! It's a good start.

Labels: cobwebs are finally cleared by YJ

Say 'GOODBYE' to July, and 'HELLO' to August! :D

How was your July? :D
And how are you gonna spend August? :D

Start thinking now!
Don't waste any more time!
Time is precious!
Once it's gone, you can NEVER get it back.

Treasure each and every single second of you time.
Don't do things that you'll end up regretting!
And don't not do things lest you end up regretting! :D
So do what you're supposed to.
Do what you want to!
Do what you should be doing! :D

Remember!
An apple a day keeps the doctor away.
AND
An encouragement a day keeps the Emo Bugs away!

So, encourage your friends who may be weary and tired.
Encourage your group leaders who may be feeling tired out from leading!
Encourage your peers who may be feeling stressed over studies!
Encourage your teachers who may be feeling incompetent!
ENCOURAGE!

Go, ENCOURAGE PEOPLE! :D

REMEMBER AH!
AN ENCOURAGEMENT A DAY KEEPS THE EMO BUGS AWAY!

See you! :D

Loves, STQY! :D

How has your week been, my dear friends? :D
I hope it has been great. (:

Just wanna share this 'story' where I've read it quite long ago,
and found it once again as I was packing my stuffs.

A Simple Gesture

Mark was walking home from school one day,
when he noticed the boy ahead of him had tripped,
and dropped all of the books he was carrying,
along with two sweaters, a baseball bat, a glove and a small tape recorder.
Mark knelt down and helped the boy pick up the scattered articles.
Since they were going the same way,
he helped to carry part of the burden.
As they walked Mark discovered the boy's name was Bill,
that he loved video games, baseball and history,
and that he was having lots of trouble with his other subjects
and that he had just broken up with his girlfriend.
They arrived at Bill's home first and Mark was invited in for a Coke
and to watch some television.
The afternoon passed pleasantly with a few laughs and some shared small talk,
then Mark went home.
They continued to see each other around school,
had lunch together once or twice,
then both graduated from junior high school.
They ended up in the same high school where they had brief contacts over the years.
Finally the long awaited senior year came and three weeks before graduation,
Bill asked Mark if they could talk.

Bill reminded him of the day years ago when they had first met.
"Did you ever wonder why I was carrying so many things home that day?" asked Bill.
"You see, I cleaned out my locker
because I didn't want to leave a mess for anyone else.
I had stored away some of my mothers sleeping pills
and I was going home to commit suicide.
But after we spent some time together talking and laughing,
I realized that if I had killed myself,
I would have missed that time and so many others that might follow.
So you see, Mark,
when you picked up those books that day,
you did a lot more,
you saved my life."

I'm sure many of you have read this story before.
I'm pretty sure it aint your first time reading it.
But how many of you have really reflected upon this story? :D
Well, a smalll gesture is significant in its own way!
So, don't wait anymore!
DO IT! :D

See you tmrwwww! :D
