Hope Beyond The Pain - Bear Bear
Thursday, August 19, 2010
In dedication to an awesome and inspirational friend in my life.
Haha wow Zhi Xiong, I'm truly grateful and blessed to have a friend like you. The times where our hearts connected somehow, in a deep way. A similarity that pulled us together like lost friends. Both in experiences, but more beautifully so, in ideals and goals in life.To know that there's someone out there, faced with a multitude of troubles and issues, and yet instead of wallowing in a pit of self pity and despair like most would have, you are actively fighting them, overcoming them, not allowing them to take you down in life. The way you put up a relentless fight, against the odds, against your human self, and to give to others the best you can. Lacking, yet giving; unloved yet loving. A pursuit of altruism, a conquest of selflessness, an aim to give as much as you can to others. Even with the actions.And that's what differentiates you and me. You do not just live life by such ideal thoughts, but even in the midst of your own internal struggles, you open up a window to reach out to the people around you, the kids you teach, the people you volunteer for, and as well as the friends and people around you. I can only catch a glimpse of your true tremendous efforts that you put in to do such feats, but it really is such an inspiration to me.I'm amazed by your strength, your determination, your will, your life, your actions and most importantly, your heart. A heart with much pain and hurts, but even with each throb of agony, you bleed for the people; you bleed for the good of others.I once wrote an essay on heroes. Heroes in the daily lives, hidden to our sight. A patient smiling despite his diagnosis of a terminal illness. A single mother who makes untold sacrifices for her beloved children. People who put their lives on the line just to make sure we're all safe. And now, I'm thinking, people who are struggling inside, yet they make the best of their own world of ruins, forgoing their own selfish necessities, to provide others a hope, even beyond the pain. It's people like you, I'd like to call, a hero.Thank you ZhiXiong, for being in my life, for sharing much of your own wisdom, aspirations and your own life as an example and inspiration to me. I thank God for sending me a comrade, I thank God for giving me this honour of meeting a hero like you. We will fight on. I know we'll have the victory.

Not-so-average teen, deep thinker, perfectionist with quirky randomness. Trained in the art of sarcasm and nonsensical logic.
Overcoming the circumstances of the present, and the issues of my past,
striving in self-betterment with a moral balance with the hope of the fulfillment of the destiny to be a light for Christ in His likeness,
spreading the love of God as how He first loved us
==============================================================
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Heal my heart and make it clean
Open up my eyes to the things unseen
Show me how to love like You have loved me
Break my heart for what breaks Yours
Everything I am, for Your kingdom's cause
As I walk from earth into eternity

Philosophy:
I like to think about life, especially pursuing on the concept of love. Not that lovey dovey romantic kind, but the affections we have for one another
that ties us together,strangers, friends, besties, family, that's the love I wanna know about. Love is the essence of life that ties us together,
love is what we were made for and to be, love is embracing the gift of the relationship with GOD.
