I dreamt that I had an interview with God. “So you would like to interview me?” God asked. “If you have the time” I said. God smiled. “My time is eternity.”
“What questions do you have in mind for me?”
“What surprises you most about humankind?”
God answered... “That they get bored with childhood, they rush to grow up, and then long to be children again.”
“That they lose their health to make money... and then lose their money to restore their health.”
“That by thinking anxiously about the future, they forget the present, such that they live in neither the present nor the future.”
"That they live as if they will never die, and die as though they had never lived.”
God’s hand took mine and we were silent for a while.
And then I asked... “As a parent, what are some of life’s lessons you want your children to learn?”
“To learn they cannot make anyone love them. All they can do is let themselves be loved.”
“To learn that it is not good to compare themselves to others.”
“To learn to forgive by practicing forgiveness.”
“To learn that it only takes a few seconds to open profound wounds in those they love, and it can take many years to heal them.”
“To learn that a rich person is not one who has the most, but is one who needs the least.”
“To learn that there are people who love them dearly, but simply have not yet learned how to express or show their feelings.”
“To learn that two people can look at the same thing and see it differently.”
“To learn that it is not enough that they forgive one another, but they must also forgive themselves.” "Thank you for your time," I said humbly.
"Is there anything else you would like your children to know?"
God smiled and said, “Just know that I am here... always.”

late for sch again.. haix.. it's okay, since e 1st time im "late" i already heck care le. wadeva la..
anw, i got back my H2 results for my promos. surprisingly, and by the grace of God, i passed all my H2 subjects. my maths was especially shocking cox i counted e number of marks i did not do and to even get an E grade will be a miracle. yet Jesus is really so wonderful. He really did above and beyond all my expectations and gave me a D grade! Praise the Lord! for chem i originally expected a much higher grade. but judging from e overall performance of my class, i thank God dat i passed.
however, despite e good reports, im not happy. in fact im a little sad. i guess it's because we didn't make it as a class? haix..
God, i pray that You'll take control of 08S07. I pray that You'll work a miracle that every single one of us will be promoted and stay together these 2 years. Father, im believing You for good reports to come in for this wonderful class that You've blessed me with. Lord I pray that You'll let Hope abound so greatly in our hearts, that even in bad times we will not lose faith. so Father, i lift up S07 into Your hands. I know You're in control. and no matter wad happens, I will still praise You. in Jesus' most precious name i pray, Amen.

I just came back form leaders meeting which is like wow. anyway, im not here to blog about the meeting although i realli realli received a lot today. but rather, i watched this video before i went for the meeting and it really touched my heart...
Everything to me
More than a story
More than words on a page
of history...
He's the air that i breathe
the water i thirst for
and the ground beneath my feet
He's everything, everything to me....
I realli love the part where the frown turned into a smile.. it makes me happy.. hee hee. and the part where the hands formed a Bible.. the Bible is more than a story.. really reminds me of the power in God's Word. that all things will fade away but His Word will never fade away. and He is definitely not history. He is always hanging around u and me. He is like the air that we breathe, the reason we live, our breath of life. He is the water that we not only drink, but also thirst for. His living water refreshes our spirit and cleanses our soul. and Jesus is the rock upon which we stand. that even when everything else fails, Jesus will never fail us.

actually this whole period of examinations and the weeks of preparation for it i felt that i've grown closer to God. all of a sudden there's just this worshippy, praying, and reading the Bible feel all over me. it's like suddenly God has a lot of things to tell me. and despite having exams and being sick, i find myself praying and worshipping, reading the Bible till 1, 2 am. it feels real good to be refreshed in the spirit! hee hee! i pray that this refreshing flow of the Holy Spirit will keep flowing..
i finally went to watch hana yuri dango today with my classmates. waited for 1 week le!! e movie is nice! although i was trying 2 hold my bladder like 3/4 of e show... hahaha!! actually i dun mind watching again cox it's realli quite nice. really never regret watching wif my classmates today! hee hee!! initially i tot maybe onli 3 or 4 of us going to watch. but it turned out that 10 of us went! so, yea.. i felt dat today was quite fruitful..=) e last time i went out wif my classmates was wendy's birthday i think. so today was fun spending time wif my crazy class. hee hee..

2 Cor 12:9
And He said to me," My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect is weakness." Therefore most gladly i will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

service today was really really awesome! from the praise and worship to the preaching it's just amazing. the part of the sermon which realli got me thinking is when pastor preached bout changing the way we think about who we are in God. Pst preached bout the terms and conditions of being a disciple in those days, that it's realli onli the best of the best can be disciples of the teachers. and those who did not make e cut will have to continue their father's business.a disciple in those days not onli wants to know what their teacher knows, but also do what their teachers do. and a teacher will onli choose disciples whom he thinks is worthy and able to pass on his yolk (his interpretation of the Bible and how to live it out). Yet Jesus, instead of choosing the best, he chose ordinary fishermen who obviously did not make the cut hence are working in their father's business. so Peter when he walked on water it's becox he saw his teacher walking and he wants to do what his teacher does too! but when he starts to sink, it's not becox he doesn't have faith in Jesus, but rather himself. Jesus was not sinking. hence Peter had no reason to doubt that Jesus can walk on water. but when he saw that the waves were boisterous, he started to doubt himself. but from the beginning till the end, Jesus has never once doubted Peter. becox Jesus only chose Peter becox He knows that Peter is able to do whatever He does and also continue His work here on earth. So us, being called to be disciples too, are also able! John 15:16 says.. you did not choose me, but i chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain.. So realli, we shouldn't doubt our potential in God. cox when God gives the vision, He gives the provision!
so after service i went for blood donation. waited for very long den the lady said i cant donate. okay la, im not realli sad cox im scared of blood and scared of pain and scared of needles. hahaha! but guess wad the lady said. she said my vein was too small and i need to do more weights! lol!!! i was like thinking.. do more weights!?! i already do a lot of weights le leh. hahahaha!! so after that i went downtown to bowl with some cell groups. it's totally cool la! today's outing was so fun! i never had so much fun in a LONG time already. cox jc a bit no life. whole day study. hahaha! but i think today is realli God's gift to me, spurring me on for the exams ahead. from talking to the ushers in the morning to getting front seats even though im serving, to getting such fun fellowship. it's realli God telling me," go ahead, have fun. this is my present for you for studying so hard these few weeks. dont worry about tomorrow's exam becox I'll be there with you."
