Confess before men
Sunday, July 29, 2012

I've come to face it, I'm ashamed of confessing my faith to God in front of others. I tell myself, the reason why I divide my thoughts between humanistic and theological is so that when I talk to people who don't believe in God, I won't be imposing my injecting the "god" stuff.

But today, in front of God, I'm ashamed at myself for being ashamed of being known with Him. It's like how Peter denied Christ 3 times, I told God, that "I am afraid of judgment from others, being ostracized as a 'holy guy'."

And amazingly I got a reply.

"I want you to be that 'holy guy'. You will be mocked and you will laughed at. But one thing for sure, you will be known, and that's when you become the light."

And that I choose to be.

32 Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.
33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.
Matthew 10

Am I Good?
Thursday, July 26, 2012

Was thinking of what kind of person I am. I tend not to look at positive things I have done, if any (get what I mean?) So I thought why not give myself a chance.

Recently spent $80 with my free vouchers. Got treats for my family, a tub of ice cream and can of clams each, instant mee for my bro, and chocs for friends. It's was on my way home that I realized out of that much spent, I only used $6 for myself, (one tin of delicious clams, which I so quickly devoured).

So what kind of person am I? Was I selfless when I got everyone stuff and not for myself?

Been meeting up with various people too, people whom have made a significant part of my life. I don't think about others all the time, but yet I'd want to meet them at least once before I enter army. I know it's not like my life ends there, but a part of me fears that in this new season of my life, I won't be walking down the same path with some people.

Does this show I cherish and value them? That I do in some little way, love these friends around me?

I think others might laugh at me if I told them I didn't think I was someone good. Each time someone tells me something good about me, I make great efforts to contain myself. Inside, I'm all bubbling and crazily happy, wishing to hear it over and over again, but that would be plain silly wouldn't it? xD I know I'll constantly remind myself not to keep asking/talking about it. Haha.

Oh wells, I know I have a negative view of my self. Sometimes I wish I wouldn't be bias towards myself and learn to see the good that I really am. But I dunno, maybe it keeps me more humble this way.

My first meal
Friday, July 20, 2012


.Make an epic nutella banana sandwich (3th July)
.Cook a proper meal for myself (5th July)



So here's two items on my list. One to make a epic sandwich, the other to cook my own meal. The purpose behind these two were to push myself to actually make food for myself when I'm hungry. Yes, I'm so lazy I'd rather starve then get myself food.

And yea, me being super unhealthy, spam both nutella and oil for both WAHAHAHA




The cooking part was more inspired after a camp where we had to did outdoor cooking for every meal, realize, cooking wasn't that all too hard actually. So yup, bought myself tons are deep-fryable food and viola! Another important thing I learn, control the fire, and open the dam windows when cooking. I swear the whole kitchen was shrouded in oily mist. *facepalm*




My first self-cooked meal (even though its not so splendid :P)
I'm happy :)

Down the right path

Proverbs 3:5-6 (NIV)
Trust the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways submit to him, and He will make your paths straight. 

A verse from a friend which was so needed in this time of confusion.

Play with love, pay with love
Monday, July 9, 2012

Woke up at 6pm. Crazy but I guess that was a good thing. Every minute awake, my mind was overly-saturated with thoughts, worries, mistakes, hurts, and everything stupid. Even had a migraine just by that.

I don't know what to do or think now. One half of me feels sorry, the other smirks with glee. It's this war waging everyday inside me, battling for reins over my life. Every action I take has a consequences I rather not face.

I keep trying to avoid the reality of the situation, to avoid recognizing the gravity of my misgivings. Yet even when I know full well, I'm too afraid to hurt, to afraid to do what's needed. Somehow, I wish when my eyes close everything will be alright.

"How could you play with love."

God please help me. I don't know what to do anymore. I don't want anyone to hurt anymore.

Hidden
Sunday, July 8, 2012

Today, I decided to do my quiet time. Sadly, not because I wanted to but because I had to. Buuuuut, I just couldn't find my Bible. And like a bullet straight through my heart, I suddenly asked my self, where have I placed God in my life. My missing bible analogously reflected my spiritual state too. I couldn't find my bible, nor could I find God. Not that he isn't/wasn't there, but I had thrown him behind, laid under a pile of junk, obscured from sight.

:/

I'll need to find them. Effort.

I forgive you
Friday, July 6, 2012

"I forgive you"

Somehow I felt like it was needed of me to tell him that. Not sure if it made a difference to him, but things like these should never be kept hidden.

"I forgive you for hurting me that night. For when I gave you the closest thing to my heart and in my vulnerability, you responded by tossing it aside followed with the cutting words "Get over it". "

I knew in the heat of the moment you didn't mean many things you said, but it still cut me deeply. Heh, it took me awhile to get pass the anger and hatred. But I thank God for his grace in softening my heart to release the hurts and misjudgment.

Sunday, July 1, 2012

有人说,爱一个人不是因为他是谁,而是在他的面前你可以是谁即使不小心暴露了自己不美好的一面,他还是可以无条件接受,这就是真爱。
