it's the only splash of colour in a greyscale world

He gives strength to the weary
and increases the power of the weak.
Even youths grow tired and weary,
and young men stumble and fall;
but those who hope in the LORD
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.
- Isiah 40: 29-31

Just had an awesome weekend :D I feel the best I've had in a long time (other than some Monday blues)

Thanks Angie for inviting me to your baptism :D

Because I think I have my faith in God back now.

Quote Joongyan: "...when He's far away, things fall apart."

And it's so true.

How could I have ever left His side in the first place?

And thanks Joni for taking me to your church today :D

It's very different from mine, but I think it's great.

And also thanks a lot a lot to Litying for constantly smsing me to check up on me and whether I was being emo!

And thanks to the person who added 100 hugs to the hug counter thing o_O I can't think of anyone with a four-letter name who would do that. (Hmm. Muni?)

Lord, You are great because You created the earth and all its creatures and everything else, even those annoying river systems that we have to learn about in geog. You were there first of all and You will still be there in the end.

Lord, thank You for all the blessings You have given me: most of all, for Your love, patience, faithfulness, even to this blind, stumbling wreck of a human being. Thank You for a loving family who brought me up with good values, and for friends who are always there and ready to lend a listening ear, a shoulder to cry on, and advice. Thank You for talent, and the chance to make it grow.

Lord, I'm sorry. I know I haven't been a very good Christian lately. I've been wallowing in self-pity and frustration. I've forgotten to thank You for trials because they grow my faith and make me stronger. I haven't been a blessing to those around me; nor have I made you a part of of my life.

Lord, please help me to climb out of this pit I've dug myself into. I want to be Your light to shine upon the world, to share your word. Please give me the wisdom to make those decisions, and the courage to live each day.

What to say, Lord? It's
You who gave me life and I
Can't explain just how
Much You mean to me now
That You have saved me, Lord
I give all that I am to You
That everyday I can
Be a light that shines Your name

Everyday, Lord, I'll
Learn to stand upon Your word
And I pray that I
That I might come to know You more
That You would guide me with every single step I take, that
Everyday I can
Be Your light unto the world

Everyday, it's You I live for
Everyday, I'll follow after You
Everyday, I'll walk with You, my Lord

Everyday, Lord, I'll
Learn to stand upon Your word
And I pray that I
That I might come to know You more
That You would guide me with every single step I take, that
Everyday I can
Be Your light unto the world

Everyday, it's You I live for
Everyday, I'll follow after You
Everyday, I'll walk with You, my Lord

It's You I live for, everyday
It's You I live for, everyday
It's You I live for, everyday
It's You I live for, everyday

Everyday, it's You I live for
Everyday, I'll follow after You
Everyday, I'll walk with You, my Lord

Everyday, it's You I live for
Everyday, I'll follow after You
Everyday, I'll walk with You, my Lord

That's what I want to be like, really. I don't want to be just a Sunday Christian. God's there, every hour every minute every second, and i want to be aware of that. I want to let my every word and every action reflect God's will and His love - to be his light onto the world.

I really want to, but sometimes we get so caught up in everyday life - homework, lessons, friends. And there's temptation all around.

I'm going to try. I'm going to try harder.

Yay first post on the new blog! I hope it'll be more active than the old one :D

From now on I shall capitalize all my posts. Otherwise my English might just worsen. That'd be bad.

I don't like my old blog xD I think I posted a lot of stupid things. Not good, not good. So here's a new one! The old one was dead, anyway. I shall put a link to this one later (:

I don't really like this skin. It's a bit...I dunno. The pic doesn't match. Even though it's a bee-yu-tiful pic. All credit to the artist! (:

Today I took MRT home with my dear dear artclub/CAD senior. I like talking to her, not sure why. She's always has this grumpy look on her face but she's actually nice and funny. Haha <3 you Yingxi! Though you'll probably never see this.

I told her she should smile more. Because the more you smile, the happier you get; the happier you get, the more you smile! An un-vicious cycle. And she said, "You're taking too much Geog."

And we were talking about mice vs hamsters, and how we like talking to imaginary friends/plants/pets/ourselves. (Yes, I do that. A lot.)

And we were talking about religion. She's a freethinker, and she believes that there is a greater being, but not any that the religions of the world have. I asked her, then, what was her purpose in life? What lay at the end?

She said, "To me, the end of life is not something to look forward to or dread. It's just there."

I don't agree. I'm Christian, of course, and I know that God is waiting, that ultimately he will be the eternal judge. To get to heaven, all you have to do is believe. You don't even have to do good works, but of course...if you really believe and want to be a child of God, you will do your best not to sin.

I try, but more often than not I fail. Yes, I do. But I am sorry afterwards - I do try. We humans are born with sin in our hearts. It's Satan's doing.

I wish...I wish there weren't so many people in the world who didn't know of God's love and Jesus's sacrifice for us. I want to make a difference but I'm always scared. I don't want to preach. I know not many of you will think I'm a very religious person. I don't talk about Christ whenever I can; I don't even say "I'll pray for you." But I'm trying, I really am. I don't want my spiritual life to be confined to Sunday and church.

I'm praying for courage and wisdom to be able to spread His word. That, really, is the Christian purpose.

Whoo. Long, rather off-track post.
