ABOUT ME

ok.. before i start blabbering.. can someone teach me how to set up a tag board?? and how do i link people?? oh and how do i post photos or add fotos?? somebody help me?!

haha okae.. now my blabbering starts... if u're bored or not interested den dun read lah.

well... since dis is my second entry i shall introduce myself to all my readers.. haha... altho i guess most of u noe me alrady.. but how many of u actually know what are my goals in life? what are my priorities.. my beliefs.. my struggles?

So i shall start with my priorities because i believe when u noe what are your priorities, decision-making becomes much easier.


MY PRIORITIES IN LIFE:

1) GOD- okay, i think tis can take up one whole entry.


First of all, let me introduce my big daddy God, who created me and gave me life... provided for me and did many many miracles in my life that i am very thankful for. Then there is his Son, Jesus who died on the cross for my sins, my friend who i talk to every single day. And last but not least, the holy spirit who walks with me.. the one who taught me that christianity is not a religion but a relationship, an exciting walk with God.

Sad to say, many people have the misconception that christianity is boring... a place of rules and control, listening to boring talks by a priest who is totally irrelevant. BUT THATS SOO NOT TRUE! hey, i'm not saying that i have never slept in a service or have never had to fight with the sleeping monster during a sermon before, but what i'm sayin is there is so much more to christianity than u think! For one, I can say that it is very REAL. His presence can be felt. And one reason why no one can ever convince me that Jesus is not real is becos i have felt him before, i had experienced a touch from him, an outpouring of love that made me cry cos i know that despite all the times i disappoint him, his love for me will never cease. But yet, there is only so much i can say cos u have to experience him yourself.

Wait a minute, I'm not saying that once i become a christian, life is a bed of roses in fact it seems to me that there are there are even more challenges. and yes, it is very easy to get disappointed with God when things do not turn out the way u expected. But yet, are u saying that wen u pray, u are twisting the arm of God and he must give u what u ask for? If thats the case, why call him God? thats a genie you're asking for.

And thats where people decide that they want to give up on this walk, its too tiring and draining, theres too much pressure, they say.
Hey, dun talk to me as if i dunno what u've been thru, there are instances when i want to give up as well. And believe me, its not once or twice. I know what it is like to have to live up to expectations, carry the responsiblity and yet feel that everything is so routined, dry and mundane. You feel like just letting go of evrything, sit back relax and enjoy urself. But i learnt that when you feel that way, its time you go back to ur first love. Its time u think back and reminice on the moments that you first felt his touch, wen he gave you ur first miracle. When i begin to think of those, I cant imagine living a life outside of his umbrella walking thru life all alone. hey, i'm not saying that God will leave u wen u leave church, but doesn it ever cross your mind how this would grieve the holy spirit?

Many a times i feel that we are like the Israelites. We all know the story of how Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt, free them from slavery, and how God provided for them when he fed them with manna, opened the Red Sea for them when they had no road to go. But yet, despite all this, they complained against God, blamed Moses and even turn to worshipping idols. Dun u think we are like them whenever we choose to give up?

Thank God that he is a God of grace and no matter what decisions u have made in the past, he will always welcome you back with open arms. One thing that brother darren shared that really impacted me is no matter where i go or what i have done, the holy spirit will never leave me, he may take the second seat and leave me to make my own decisions but i am never alone.

But more than that, God knows that our souls need to be filled. (Psalms 23: He restores my soul!)And he wants us to have FUN!
So this year, i'm committed to making my cg a fun place to be! NO MORE DRAGGING OF FEET TO CG OKAY. Haha. this shudnt be too difficult if i have my 2 craziest girls JANET YANG AND ADELINE WONG contributing thier ideas cos they are the best choice of ppl to hang out with if u want to have fun! (Xinyi! if u're reading this please get my hint! dun separate us ;(... )
haha. eh i'm not saying the rest of u are not fun ppl okay... u are! i will put up one whole entry about u guys soon!

I think i have a major problem with sticking to the topic. i am WAYYYY out of point. But, WHO CARES?! this is my blog!

haha i realise i kinda like blogging now. it allows me to sort out my thots wen i put it into words.
