GOD does have His timing. | | |
| what i did today. it is good to record what you do. it'll provide a good reflection of where you are, where you are going and why you have not yet arrive there.
my day started with a call to my boss. i was tired from the late night sleep and the researching and writing of part of my essay. it was as if i had a hangover. the essay is due today. it is just wise to stay home and recuperate and do finishing last touches. it took longer to do both than i had planned. but it was done. i went to my last class. handed in my research essay. wrote my last in-class essay. i went home with a great passion to write more essays. i love writing essays. it is scary at first when you start. the blank pages seemed too spacious and the words seemed so few. you fear you do not have all the ideas you need to begin the process. the blank pages mock at you and challenge you to create something out of nothing. but as you start your planning and laying down the structure to fill up those blank lines you get a sense that the words are many but the space is limited. how on earth do you cram in all your arguments and all your ideas? this is the skill of an eloquent writer. this is the challenge. this is the joy of writing. to be able to write with minimal words and communicate all your thoughts on the given space create a sense of pride. to get the feedback of understanding and awe from your reader makes you look at your work and say, "it is good. now, let's rest." God is an author at heart. in fact, He is the heart of all authors. His word always amazes me. they are very concise, and truthful; yet they provide the reader with endless possibilities. i always doubted when He said His words are eternal. what does He mean? eternal means lasting forever, never ending yet His words can be summed up into a finite space sealed in 66 books. but if the infinite can be made finite in Jesus, all things are possible with God. it leads me to think, in eternity would He speaks as He does now? would He add new words of life? or is the words in the bible is sufficient to communicate with us as it does now from Eternity? yes, i think His words are sufficient. this is what amazes me. it is already amazing that these words that are so precise and refined are sufficient to guide us through life as we journey to Eternity. oh to be one of His eloquent writer! what a privilege and blessing! as a child of God we all have such an inheritance. hallelujah! let's us all go and write all you who belong to Him. | | |
| I just thought it would be fun to do...I think I did this before during first year with my roommates...the questions seems similar. Somehow, not much have changed in my choices...I'm not sure if the interpretation has changed. It does not sound like the previous one. Then again it was a long time ago.
What do my readers think? Does it suit me?
Get to know yourself better
Your view on yourself: Other people find you very interesting, but you are really hiding your true self. Your friends love you because you are a good listener. They'll probably still love you if you learn to be yourself with them.
The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for: You are not looking merely for a girl/boyfriend - you are looking for your life partner. Perhaps you should be more open-minded about who you spend time with. The person you are looking for might hide their charm under their exterior.
Your readiness to commit to a relationship: You prefer to get to know a person very well before deciding whether you will commit to the relationship.
The seriousness of your love: You like to flirt and behave seductively. The opposite sex finds this very attractive, and that's why you'll always have admirers hanging off your arms. But how serious are you about choosing someone to be in a relationship with?
Your views on education Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.
The right job for you: You have plenty of dream jobs but have little chance of doing any of them if you don't focus on something in particular. You need to choose something and go for it to be happy and achieve success.
How do you view success: You are confident that you will be successful in your chosen career and nothing will stop you from trying.
What are you most afraid of: You are concerned about your image and the way others see you. This means that you try very hard to be accepted by other people. It's time for you to believe in who you are, not what you wear.
Who is your true self: You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve. | | |
| I just read Tony's xanga and his brush with death. I have often look back on my own life and the many times when God had spared my life when if was clearly my fault and ask. "Why?" My only conclusion is that He is not finished with me. I can still do things that bring Him glory and makes my abba proud. So here I publicly declare. I will chose to live. As long as my abba gives me Today. I will do things that bring glory to Him and bring joy to His heart just as He have brought joy to mine. I will grieve Him no longer. Surely I am still alive Today because He believes that I still have the potential to do this. Oh may I come to love Him as He loves me. | | |
| I keep thinking about what a worship leader should be like. I keep going through last week's sermon on suffering and that it's common in Christianity. I keep thinking if i had stayed on topic. Did I conclude well? or introduce the topic well. I knew the topic was suffering yet I open with thanksgiving and sharing of my good news. I guess I forgot to mention that for a long time I did second guess God and His work and went through what Habbakuk went through or what Job went through, just questioning questioning questioning..I still sort of am going through that. It is comforting to know however that God is in control. He still has his eyes on me. I wish sometimes he would remove his rod though. But if suffering and grief are the cost of being a disciple may he never remove it from me. My greatest fear is not death or cancer. I fear that he may one day disown me. Hmmm....how do you know when you are a good worship leader? I didn't feel like I did a good job last Sunday. i guess I should pay more attention to other ppl who lead worship. | | |
