On the way...

We were "conquering" the IBRC room this afternoon, and wanted to do some work then since we're all waiting for the next lesson. Then Jas came over and share with me a song. And It's rather nice, so I'm sharing here as well! May it treat as a reminder that we have to treasure our family members while they're still around... And not to take their presenceS for granted.

When will you be home, she asked
As we watched the plane take off
We both knew there's no clear answer to where my dreams will lead
She watched me as I crawl and stumble
As a child, she was my world
And now for me to go I know she bleeds
But yet she says to me,
You can fly so high
Keep your gaze upon the sky
I'll be praying every step of the way
Woohoo...
I love you too much to make you stay

Autum leaves turn into spring time
And silver painted hair
Daddy called one evening saying, "We need you please come back"
As I watched her laying in her bed
Fragile as a child
Pale just like an angel taking flight
I held her as I cry
You can fly so high
Keep your gaze upon the sky
I'll be praying every step of the way
Woohoo...
I love you too much to make you stay

Today was a fruitful day, I think. Went school from morning till evening. Went home, practise 全然向你 till want to die lor!!! And guess what?! I haven't got it right -..- Nvm. Few more days to go... Then did my preparation for God's Words. This week's Word is rather fun! Hahaha... See pictures guess stories. Cgers ar, go read up some Old Testaments k!

Come to think of our 生活营, I can feel the fustrations my dad tried to bring out on wed. It's no longer like before. Yes, I totally agree. I'm not trying to make people who just joined us envy or discourage anyone here. But the fact is, IT REALLY WASN'T LIKE BEFORE ANYMORE. The main difference is the attitude of our members towards 生活营. Last time, people start saving from the start of the year just to support themselves to year end camps. Now, people simply say, "It's too expensive. I can't go..." Go bang wall la. What a lousy cover-up that you actually didn't bear to spend that $350 at Charis. Last time we have banners for our camps, but now, the "best" we can come up with is to use vangard sheets to cut out the wordings. Last time people volunteer to go reccee with pastoral team but now, leaders have to plead and beg we take leave to help them. I mean, DOES GOD DESERVES ALL THESE "LEFT-OVERS" WE'RE GIVING HIM?


Maybe we've experienced alot of 'revivals' throughout our Christian life, too much of Bible knowledge, too many superficial acts... We grew N-U-M-B about His kingdom and that nothing more excites our relationship with Him. Is that why we're always tired when we work in His House? If we've lost the first love, whatever we do upon our 2nd or 3rd ot 4th love is no longer pleasing to Him.(No matter how hard we try...) And that's VERY dangerous. There's one kind of people I pity most: People who sacrifice God's justice/Word just to earn human's likings. Well, though it's not easy to uphold His Word in this filthy world we live in, but, isn't it why He chose YOU to do it?? I understand that it's always not easy to be different and seen as ailen to others who don't know Him. However, let's outgrow this! Let's not let Him down. (Espcially speaking to my dear cgers. Get it?) Let's not make Him go to the Cross for no value. Make the most out of what He has given. It's not too much to ask for, when you think of who He really is.

Well, did lots of soul-searching these few days and also complained to God of my fustrations... And one thing reminded me that I should bow humbly down and tell Him I love Him. And it's the Perfect Love demostrated on the Cross. As people fight over a piece of 2 thousand years wood believed to be Jesus' Cross, is anyone interested with the grace and mercy that flowed, and still flowing thereafter? Have we already focused on the wrong things in life YET thinking that we've got it all? How dangerous. May He open our eyes and let us see, how far we've fallen. Imagine the video Far And Away posted in YF's blog(just-my-world.blogspot.com) as our relationship with God. It's a happy ending! Because of one important sentence which Jesus will say,

"And I forgive you, for being away for far too long. So keep breathing coz I'm not leaving you anymore. Believe it, hold on to me, and never let me go..."

You see, I just have to talk and express my feelings out.
If not, I'll be very moody. ^^

I hope you get the message I wanted to encourage YOU about.
YOU!!
Don't guess who's the "YOU", it's no other one but YOU, the one reading it.
The one God created too!
