Forgiveness - The Power to Change the Past.

You can be hurt when you suffer at the hands of people you love. But unless you're hurt, speak of something other than forgiving.

But not every hurt needs to be forgiven. There are some hurts that we can swallow, shrug off, and chalk up to the risks of being earthen vessels in a crowded world.

Annoyances. Defeats. Slights. These are all hurts, but they aren't that kind which needs forgiving. Such bits and pieces of suffering requires tolerance, magnanimity, indulgence & humility - but not forgiving!

---------------------------

To forgive is to put down your 50 pound pack after a 10mile climb up a mountain.
To forgive is to fall into a chair after a 15 mile marathon.
To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover the prisoner was you.
To forgive is to reach back into your hurting past and recreate it in your memory so that you can begin again.
To forgive is to dance to the beat of God's forgiving heart. It is to ride the crest of love's strongest wave.

Our only escape from history's cruel unfairness, our only passage to the future's creativity possibilities, is the miracle of forgiving.

Directions, directions. We always asked for them. But what if you're route has already been directed for you. And that you just can't see them. You refuse to open your eyes to take a closer look and see what exactly is going on. Our lives has already been plan for each one us, and we just have to follow them right. Isn't it that simple? Haha.

We all want things to happen NOW. Like right in front of us, like immediate. To take a gigantic step, to skip all the trials, obstacles & tribulations bla bla bla. But, everything has been plan by God. I don't know why we worry so much. Siggh. I think worrying is a stupid thing. We know we can't worry, but yet we still keep on worrying.

Being a christian is the BEST thing that can ever happen to me. I guess looking back all this years, God has been really faithful and has shown a lot of grace to me. Though I may not be the best child or the best christian that I am supposed to be, but He still love me no matter what. And not going for cell, youth and Sunday services, had been a real real real dread. Missing out all everything that your life was supposed to be. But yet, I never fail to find peace love joy whenever I am back there.

Blablablablabla.
 
END.

Time is more precious than gold, more precious that diamonds, more precious than oils or any valuable treasures. It is time that we do not have enough of; it is time that causes the war within our hearts, and so we must spend it wisely. Time cannot be packaged and ribboned and left under trees for Christmas morning.

Time can't be given. But it can be shared.

And so here the story goes...

I was out with my friends and happened that we were using the computer. I managed to chance upon Yuan's notes, and it really made me think a lot. Not to mention, reading the shack too. I think it's a really great book but it has quite difficult analogy about the Trinity and stuff, but it really touched me a lot. Okay, so as I was saying, after reading it, I realized that at times, I'm not who I really think I am. And sometimes I feel that I'm a hypocrite especially when teaching CLAY. It's like telling people, you know that you can DEFINITELY put your trust & faith in Him as God has already plan our route for us, so why worry? Yes, I do believe that in theory, we all agree with this statement. But however, how many of us actually can put it in to practice? It's like, yeah, I'll put my entire trust & faith in Him, but can't I just worry for just a while more? Furthermore, how many of us actually go to God first when problems arises. Well, I definitely don't. I would just sink into my sadness, and think that it's all over for me before actually realizing that there's God!

As I was feeling extremely tired, I closed my eyes. And during that short period, something spoke to me. And whatever that was in Yuan's notes, keep on flashing in my mind. At that point of time, I felt super guilty in not putting my total trust & faith in Him. I really felt like crying and crying, but I didn't, so I just teared. Suddenly, something asked me to "let go". I was like, let go of what? My fears? And I guess, it's not an easy task to let go, but then again, having faith means you're able to do it.

I was once asked, "If we've doubts in our life, do we still have faith?" It's in human nature to have doubts in our life, but because of FAITH, you're able to continue your walk in your life, though it's full of uncertainty. Throughout this year or also, I think I've more uncertainties, fears, struggles that I ever have. But nevertheless, God never fail to prove that He is always there for me. Whenever it is at the least unexpected moments of my life, God will be there to guide me and show me the correct way.

To us, everything may come at the wrong time, wrong moment. But to God, his timing is always perfect. So yeah. So, at the end of each day, if you feel depress, demoralized, I believe that it's good to really think through your whole day and see what are the things that you can be thankful for. Cos, ultimately, we are receiving God's blessings. So yeah.

Living unloved is like clipping a bird's wings and removing it's ability to fly. This Love, is God's love for us. So, don't act like the whole world has fallen and there's no way out. Haha. Cos God's love surpass more than anything else in this world. And because of that, we're able to survive in this world, and to love people for who they really are. Yup.

Well, to be honest, I'm still very dumbfounded about what happened to Liz, when I heard her story, I almost wanted to cry. Yes, I have seen lumbar punctures in real life, school, watching House and even taught on the process bla bla bla bla. But when she described how the procedure was, I felt her pain. And I NEVER want to go through a lumbar puncture. Sigh. After hearing what she say, I think I have lots and lots of fears. Really fear. I think this is like the 2nd time I'm terrified for a lot a lot of things. Well, the 1st one was just nonsense, it lasted for a few days, but at least that event was over. And for her, it's like a life time journey. Siggghhh.

And so...it's April.

Went night cycling with the Dieus. Tampines, Changi Village, East Coast, Simpang Bedok. For about 30km. Crashed into them many many times. Lots of professional cyclists were cycling, they were super fast. I think only Linus is up to their standard. Well, glad that it's over and that none of us were injured! Oh, good weather too!!

Picnic with small group was equally fun too. Though we had a budget of 5 bucks each, the amount of food left was crazy. To think Clement bought 5 dollars worth of hot dogs. Haha. Frisbee playing. I love my small group. (:

Cheryl brought me to Marina Barrage!! It's an eye opener, very educational. I never knew Singapore has a barrage like that. And the place itself is pretty. Went to the roof top and see the view of Singapore. The weather was fantastic, the sky was blue, the clouds are so soft and fluffy like cotton candy. Haha.

-----------

Watched Pushing Daisies. A colourful drama. After watching this, makes me feel like eating pies. And it's something that I definitely can never get in Singapore, I think. Haha. Well, in one episode, it was about this candy store. The store itself is so pretty colorful vibrant. And there was this gigantic lollipop!! Looking at it makes me feel sweet, not sweet as in that kind of sweet. But sweet sweet. Haha. Maybe I should go to the candy store in Central and take a look.

Sophie Scholl.
Good show. Well, if you enjoyed watching the Pianist, Rising of Hitler, and whatsoever. You'll liked this too!! Very history. Haha.

Kit Kittredge.
Haha. Gwanga Gwanga Galooly. Nice American Girl movie. I wonder if the books are like that. But I guess many girls do look up to American Girls. But I feel that the historical American Girl are so much better. But the dolls are freaky. Haha.

Confession of a Shopaholic.
Not that I'm a Sophie Kinsella fan, I read the book for the sake of the movie. And I didn't really enjoy reading it too. But the movie is nice, pretty and funny. But like all the other movies adapted from novels, the storyline is different. But still, it's a must-watch if you're a girl. Haha.


----------

And oh, there's a mint museum of toys. Haha. Never knew that.

Cheerio.

If You Could See Me Now.
Great book. Really describe how one can really feel at times about friends. I think it's good to let your imaginations run wild at times. Makes you a jovial person and I guess you'll be really really happy right down from the bottom of your heart. I wonder if I'll ever have a friend like that. Haha.

The Boy In Striped Pyjamas.
My second time watching the movie. A really really sad one. But it's a nice movie though. The character Schmuel is poor thing, his face is equally pitiful too. Oh wells. At least it isn't a true story. Reminds me of Kite Runner.

Anyway, I'm obligated to mention Megan Toh. It has been 3 days, like what she said "some quality cousin bonding time". Haha.

Not in a million years.

Tampines.

I secretly hate this place from the bottom of my heart. It's so crowded EVERYWHERE. Not to mention even stepping inside the malls, the station itself is already packed. It's like going to the IT fair everyday. And all you can see is people. Furthermore, the malls are ever-so-crowded during the weekends and yet, I still have to go there everytime. Haha. I mean I've spend 10 years of life in Tampines, what more can I ask for? Yes, there are benefits. The fact that at least 1/2 of the people I ever know lives in Tampines, and that JD is near me so I can go bug him everyday. Haha.

But, I don't like it at all. Now that the new mall is going to be ready like soon. I cannot imagine how crowded it can be. I should proably stay at home during that time.

Anyway, Simei has change a lot. Oh wells.

The bottom line is, I hate crowds. The IT fair almost killed me. Haha. But the things are sure cheap. I'm glad that they got the things they wanted.

Bravery though. (:
