My Holidays are almost over...

Great. It's wednesday, and I have 4 more days of break.

I feel I have lost hunger. Side-tracked by so many other issues and distractions.

Just read an article that reminded me of the verse in Hebrews 11:6
"And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him"

It simply means I seek, God rewards.

What you put your time to, you reap.

So what better way than to put time in God, who rewards you?

Crazy

"Love makes you act that way"

To borrow a line from Steven Curtis Chapman

It's funny how the words of Paul are rephrased in this 'cute' song. (Think "Christ's love compels me".)

Well, His love definitely compels me to give my life to Him. Let's stick to that thought for this post. Shall take the time to blog while I wait for my hashbrown to turn, well, brown.

It's always funny how we admire, compare, aspire, to be like someone else.

I want to be on Dean's list! ( like the two brothers who's surname starts with 'T'.)

I want to produce my own album, have played rugby for my country and be friends with Brooke Fraser! (Just like my secondary school friend of mine)

I want this, I want to be that, blah blah blah.

I guess, Christ's love compels me to place my life, past, present, future into His hands.It compels me to trust Him for my future, my career, my results, my calling and my ministry.

I have always wondered what would have happened if I grew up going to ACS, then maybe being saved at another church, serving on another worship team, given a different value set, etc.
Oh well, so much for letting my mind wonder.

God's love gives me the assurance that He's got everything under control.

Sometimes in worship, there is this overwhelming sense of wanting to give my life to Jesus and pay the price, no matter what the cost. That's what I call compelling.

Thank God for who I am, how He's going to fashion me and the path He has laid for me. He knows best.

Maybe if I scored A+ and A for this semester (like one of the T** brothers), I might have just chosen to serve the world.

So I'll just leave my life, and live my life in the Master's hands. It makes life a whole lot easier to live.

Happy LAbour Day!

It's interesting how different life journeys intertwine.

Our individual lives are knitted together in God's tapestry.

I'm intrigued at how many of us meet, in church, school, CCAs, outside, previous schools, etc and how at this point of our lives our journeys meet, and we somehow walk alongside each other.

I'm just glad to be a part of God's plan. Thank you Jesus.

Just came back from retreat @ Aloha Loyang

Didn't sleep the whole night. Spent it on champions league. What a waste.
