hey people. since i haven't been visiting this blog and keeping it alive, i will POST! yay, grace's post is so right. i got so upset with my exam results the other time. then my friend sort of like "comforted" me. she said that even if we get very very high marks now, we can't bring them up to heaven. God won't judge you according to how much you get for your exams. yeah, but it's easy for her to say cause she got the highest in class... XP

we should EVANGELISE! somehow, i find it pretty hard to talk to my friends about God. cause they are like play play laugh laugh then what do i do? suddenly say STOP! I SHALL TELL YOU SOMETHING ABOUT GOD! that'll be really odd and they will probably avoid me for the next ten years... model answer: PRAY!

okay, that's all for today. BYE AND ENJOY YOUR HOLIDAYS!!(:

XD. i just prayed and read the bible. i just read one passage and...somehow i ..... something just came to me. I dont know if itz like over interpreting...but it just came to me and i thought I'd share it with u guyz.

i was reading exodus 36 to 38. it was one of the chapters i refused to read before coz i thought i wouldnt understand all the things about making the tabernacle and i thought it wasnt necessary for me to read it other than to know that it was complicated.

so... it said..

'' He has filled them with skill to do all kinds of work as craftsmen, designers, embroiderers in blue, purple and scarlet yarn and fine linen, and weavers- all of them master craftsmen and designers. So Bezalel, Oholiab and every skilled person to whom the Lord has given the skill and ability to know how to carry out all the work of constructing the sanctuary are to do the work just as the Lord has commanded. ''

okay.. it seems very normal. but then, somehow i realised that, even if these people were brilliant, smart, blessed with the skills and abilities from the Lord, which I may add is the most valuable gift ever, they still carried out the work as the Lord told them to.

In other words, they were smart. They could have easily did it their own way! But, they chose to listen to God so closely that every cm was right.

Think about it this way. Many of us now are smart in our own ways. in fact, all of us. In the area in which we're better than others, we often become overly confident and take matters in our own hands, thinking we know best. How many will actually still take orders from someone else? the defiance is just...overwhelming.

And something else I thought when I read this verse is that, even though these craftsmen and designers were skilled, they are to do the work.... well, this isnt exactly from the verse but then, i thought that when we are skilled with an ability, we should always use it to glorify God. and only that will be recognised in judgement. not how you used your brains, for example, to help your friends win money or something. but really, how you used them to honour God.

Well, that kinda spoke to me coz I thought to myself. How am I using my gifts? How am I using my abilities that God blessed me with?

Firstly, I think all of should also think about, what did God bless me with. when we know what we're good at, only then can we use it advantagously to glorify God's name. So, i figured it was brains although Im not exactly one of the smartest in class. Getting into RGS itself was.... one of the greatest gifts my academic life could possibly receive. So, how was I using my intellect?

This was when I felt most down about myself. Because, other than to score best in class and to reach a GPA of 4.0, what else was I using it for? Nothing.

So now I'm trying to think of ways to glorify God's name through my talents and I thought yall should give it a thought too. XD.

HAHAH. It's really great when you finally have a verse speak out to you after so long. PRAYERS WORK. trust me!!!!! hahaha...

i thought i'd blog since my exams are over. yeh.(:

just a reminder: davinci cod ething and sports extreme and parents night are coming. haha do attempt to invite the respective people.(:

before i start, i want to laugh at nichola. haha. i thought it was rather amusing when she kindly told us that we have to highlight her post to read it. haha. ;)

today i had a thought during sermon. i thought i'll share it with you, maybe it'll just make you go: "O YAR!" maybe it'll encourage you. haha. whatever it is, take a read.(:

Psalm 127

Unless the LORD builds the house,
its builders labor in vain.
Unless the LORD watches over the city,
the watchmen stand guard in vain.
In vain you rise early
and stay up late,
toiling for food to eat—
for he grants sleep to [a] those he loves.

you know this part of the bible really spoke to me, cos ive realised that although we may be given the talent to do great things, and we may slog really hard to acheive big things. you see it's not wrong, but without God in the picture, everything will be in vain. i'm sure we all say amen to that. and like what dave said before, the things we work for in this life will give us a good job for the next fifty years, but seeing our friends saved gives us an eternity of joy to see them in heaven with us. so always open your eyes to look out for opportunities the Lord places in your life for you to reach out to your friends, or just to be a living testimony. yeh. a light on a hill cannot be hidden, let your light so shine before men!

jiayou!

by the way i like the blog song. haha.(:

hello again(:

hope you people are doing okay/fantastic:D with your exams, tests etc.
because unfortunately for me i am not doing so okay.
but nevermind.
hope you are still doing your qt and praying daily or more.
i think prayer is the most fantastic thing right?:)
because you dont have to do anything or be at any specific place to pray.
you can just pray whilst doing your exams or walking or whatever.
and the great thing is that it will alwaysalwaysalways be heard no matter what.
doesnt matter if you dont get the answer immediately.
and for me i think its okay to wait-i dont really mind, at least i try not to.
but Jesus is like the friend who will always be there for you come wht may.
He wont ever betray you or ignore you or do whtever things we humans are prone to do.
no He will always be with us because He told us that He would never leave us nor forsake us.
cant remember which part in the Bible says so though:P
so everybody continue working and studying hard to honour our Lord!

your fellow cg-er(:
