No man is the same after an agony;
He is either better or worse,
and the agony of a man's experience is nearly always the first thing
that opens his mind to understand the need of redemption
worked out by Jesus Christ. At the back of the wall of the world,
stands God with His arms outstretched,
and every man driven there is driven into the arms of God.
The cross of Jesus is the supreme evidence of the love of God.

The sharp howling of the wind, never heard before in my life, that blew so hard last night really made me afraid. I thought rapture had come, and suddenly the names of many people who mean so much to me flashed in my head. Christians and non-Christians alike. But what really scared me was the thought of having my loved ones LEFT BEHIND. It reminded me of the movie that we watched at stephanie's house during the march hols. How it terrified me to think of what my non-believing friends would have to go through after we're taken up to be with our Lord. I lay in my bed and prayed hard, tears filled my eyes, this couldnt be it. It's not time, I told God. but the fact is He has already given Man so many chances, it's by our freewill that we choose to believe, His grace, mercy and love so abundant yet rejected by Man, how then can I tell God, no, it's not time. The only thing I can do now is really to live my life pleasing to Thee, to shine for Him and to tell others about Him. To have the courage to give out the tracts that have been seating in my bag, to be a witness. The rest is in God's hands and I can only trust Him. It isn't easy but I'll continue praying.

be watchful and pray

You've done what nothing
and no one else could do.
and the song of my soul,
is "Lord, worthy are You."

It's only by blood(:

it's easter!
it's not about bunnys or eggs,
it's abt my risen Saviour!

I msged liling this,

"As your days, your strength shall be in measure",
This the pledge to me He made(:

and she replied me,

"Look to the Lord and His strength, seek His face always",
This the pledge to Him I make(:

Indeed, I thank God for such a wonderful sis-in-Christ who never fails to remind me to look to God.

Having gotten back PW and chinese A's results recently, I've just been thinking why exactly are people striving so hard to get that A? and when they do actually get that A, how short-lived their happiness is. yet the fact is no matter how stressful, no matter how tiring, we all work hard and put in much effort to achieve those A's we hope to see on our A level cert. Yes, everyone says study hard and get good grades so that you'll get a better job in the future, but after that what's next? it's all just a cycle, a system that society had forced us into. Stressful yet necessary for us to survive in today's globalised world. You got to have an advantage over others to stand out. unwilling at times, yet I know it's my duty as a student to study hard and to put in my best, to do everything as unto the Lord and the results I receive are blessings from Him. true, but how often in the midst of striving towards the goal of achieving A's that we neglect this MOST IMPORTANT Person in our life...

Woke up late on wed morning and rushed to school but I missed the train when i reached the MRT station but I guess God did have a purpose for it. Met gab on the way to school and we talked throughout our journey to school, she was mentioning how RJ always reminds them that they are full-time students and not full-time athletes, how they will not train so hard for competitions at the expense of their studies. and then it dawned on me today, if only christians would think of themselves as full-time servants of Christ and part-time students and yet recognise the importance of our studies. the way we spend our time would differ greatly. But yes, we're all not perfect and with the demanding education system, it's difficult to. Studying's important but looking to God and seeking His face is more important. Thinking of what counts for eternity matters more than temporal things. so then I question myself, how am I living my life? and what oughts to change?
