Thoughts about

Fashion
i love dressing up and trying out new trends, just like most girls. i may not have the perfect figure but im thankful that God has given me a wonderful body which i am proud of.

now i know why in the olden days, they reserve their best clothes for sunday...

Sunday service is a worship service. we are there to celebrate with God. what best clothes to wear to a celebration than your best?

we dress up when we're invited to parties or any other celebration. it's the same thing when we're attending worship service. we should offer to God our best.

Praise and Worship
Worship is in the heart. It is not the way you play an instrument or sing.
But then... Worship service is a celebration. Why do we dance and party hard during gimmiks, parties, etc yet can't express during praise and worship?

Love
Love is patient. Love is kind. It does not envy. It does not boast. It is not proud. It is not rude. It is not self-seeking. It is not easily angered. It keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. [1 cor 13:5-7]

love is unconditional...

Persecution

I know I shouldn't be selfish of my blessings but sometimes I find people so abusive... It gives a lot of hassle not only to me but sometimes my mom too. I know I have to think of myself sometimes but I don't want to be criticized as a Christian. I've been witnessing to a lot of people for quite a while and I know that a lot of people are watching my every move, waiting for me to make a mistake. I don't want to be a bad testimony but I feel so exhausted already.

To look at it in another point of view, I guess I should be happy because I am being persecuted in a way. My faith is being tested and my character is being built. I just pray that I'll be able to stand a bit longer. Some days I just want to scream it all out...

Friday the Thirteen

I never expected anything unusual when I woke up last Friday morning. I didn't even realized that it was friday the thirteen until a friend of mine mentioned it to me. I was just happy becuase the week has finally come to an end...

My adventure started when a friend of mine ask for a ride going to a building near Shangri-La. She was going to claim her Hillsong concert tickets she reserved earlier that week. I was suppose to directly go to church for our BYF fellowship but since it was still early, I agreed to bring her to Shang. On our way there, I felt a tugging feeling of desire to also go to the concert. It was a once in a lifetime event and since the opportunity was there right in front of me, I quickly grabbed it! Problem was I didn't have someone to accompany me to the concert and the money to buy tickets... I had no other way of getting money so we dropped by my house to grab some money. When we arrived there, the only tickets available was already at the back. Determined to get front seat tickets, I reserved the back seat tickets in case I was not able to find any.

On my way to the fellowship, Joana and Will called me because there were no food and no leaders yet. The children were already restless and hungry. I didn't know what to do because I was never in charge of the food. I didn't know where to buy or what to buy. They suggested me to buy boxes of chicken somewhere on my way there. They also didn't have rice so I had to buy some too! It was raining, traffic and I was panicking. Where was everybody?? Through God's grace, I was able to find a place to buy food and rice. I used the money I brought for the tickets to buy food. When I arrived, I was also amazed becuase everyone was eager to help out. Instead of getting food to eat for themselves, the kids opened up the food in order to serve others. It was the most amazing thing I've seen! I presided the rest of the night and I really had so much fun. Pastor Pan spoke about Heaven, they signed up for the new BYF dance troupe and we had our group picture taken.

God is truly amazing! His power is made perfect in our weaknesses. The fellowship may started out to be a disaster but He can turn it to success if we trust in HIM. We couldn't, shouldn't and wouldn't take the credit for making the BYF successful. God deserves all the glory! Thank you Joanna, Will and David for letting God work through you last Friday. =)

Edge FM

Today is my first time to text in to a radio station. I was stuck in traffic early this evening and was listening to 91.5 Edge fm. They play contemporary christian songs from 6pm in the evening up till 6am in the morning. I was stuck in traffic and decided to try text something in. The DJs actually read my message on air! I know its such a shallow thing to be happy about but it feels good to hear your message on air. here's what I texted in:

"Hi guys. I listen to your program everyday on my way home from school. Your music helps me relax especially during traffic. It also reminds me of God's faithfulness despite my unfaithfulness. More power to you and Godbless!"

I really love that station. Sonetimes when your day has turned out bad and you hear Christian songs on air, it makes you less stressed knowing and remembering that God is still in control.

Busy

I wish I had time to update. School is getting busier and busier each day. I'm worried about VD-PROD. I do hope I'd get a good grade. The subject is so time consuming. We have to think of a concept for our video every week, go out and shoot, edit and do a lot of documentation on the process...

The other subjects too are starting to build up a lot of work. Quiz one in PROBSTA is coming up, storyboarding in 2DGRFX, developing a grading system in EDUCMGT and a lot more!!

I want to make more time for myself, for family, for friends and for church work but I can't seem to find any...

I'm glad I love my course. I love what I'm doing. It may be frustrating at times but at the end of the day, I find fulfilment in what I do.

Back to work for me. ciao for now!
