stand together
an abstract from my blog post:
went for the talk to spirituality centre just now. apparently, mistook it for the archdiocesan youth centre and ended up at the wrong place. sheesh. anyways, it was qwite good. was funny cuz the speaker was doing exactly what swee did at session few weeks? months? ago. he was like, turn back to jesus. take courage and stand up. haha. which i did. and this time, more successfully den swee, this guy got at least half the room of pple standing. of course, we were made to close our eyes, heads bowed down so no one will feel obliged. but i could hear and 'feel' pple all ard me standing as well. big difference to the few weeks? months? ago when i stood up myself. guess its easier to stand up for god tgt. and for me, these pple symbolise log. if log nv existed, it would be so difficult for each individual to stand on their own. but because of log, we not only take courage in god, we take courage in the pple ard us already standing. what a great encouragement god has sent to each one of us. i log you!!

back again!
i think god really speaks to me in my shower. i was bathing then i was thinking about evangelisation and being paiseh about making the sign of the cross... and how i really dont talk about myfaith/religion/god in school. and then the lyrics of this hymn came to mind:
do not be afraid i am with you
i have called you each by name
come and follow me
i will bring you home
i love you and you are mine
i think the lyrics are correct? but sing it to yourself. the tune is magical. and obviously it sums up what we have to do when it comes to doing gods work (:
i will bathe more often now
and remember to pray (: if you are reminded to pray PLEASE PRAY because at that very moment god is calling you. remember. pick up gods call! <3po3y
pretty? all my nice fonts i downloaded.

Many thanks
Many thanks, Lord!
Thank you for this tumultous year, although i don't think it'll get any easier. I thank you Lord for putting me through all the pain, joy, grief, desperation, trials, lonliness, all to help me grow.
Thank you for the thorn in me Lord, which keeps me from becoming proud.
Thank you for the people who encourage me in my darrkest hours, my family and some friends. Not to mention you LoG. Thanks for the support.
You allowed me to surpass my foes in the midyrs when i ask you to deliver me from them, depite a broken writing hand.
I pray that you'll help me n my greatest weakness now Lord. Change me in the Your way.
Praise me your name!

"if you're first, you're first. if you're second, you're nothing"
this isnt a good quote, but its a quote of reality.
and often or not, we always question reality.
question life.
reflect on life.
reflect upon ourselves and our doings.
some things, we have but come to regret, but we move on.
some things, - horrible, under circumstances, we experience them.
and still, we feel hurt, offended maybe,
and still carry on through the forest the spells life.
but despite this quote of reality,
there is always God.
the god who always is there through our times of struggles, of happiness, of confusion, and times were we are merely indifferent to everything around us.
this is the god who loves you.
the god which never fails to love you no matter how often you deny him.
this is the god who will always place you as number one.
not two.
never two.
only one.
always one.
where is he to you?

Hello people! Soo here. Haha. Haven't blogged here in ages. And we have like 100+ posts which is already more than my blog. Woo. Yeah. So I was blog surfing and I came across this story on a blog.. kinda relates to what we all are/will face in our lives. So here goes..
Once upon a time, it was announced that the devil was going out of business and would sell all his equipment to those who were willing to pay the price.
On the big day of the sale, all his tools were attractively displayed. There were Envy, Jealousy, Hatred, Malice, Deceit, Sensuality, Pride, Idolatry, and other implements of evil display. Each of the tools was marked with its own price tag.
Over in the corner by itself was a harmless-looking, wedge-shaped tool that looked very much worn, but still it bore a higher price tag than any of the other tools. Someone asked the devil what it was, and he answered, "That is Discouragement."
The next question came quickly, "And why is this tool priced so high even though it is plain to see that it is more worn than the others?"
"Because," replied the devil, "This tool is more useful to me than all the other tools. I can pry open and get into any person's heart with this tool when I cannot get near the person with any other tool. Once I find my way inside the human heart, I can manipulate the person that I am attacking in whatever way suits me best. I have used this wonderful tool to my best advantage by sending people to their graves earlier through suicide, by turning the hearts of people away from God and away from His salvation plan through Jesus Christ, by shaking, destroying and ruining the faith of every Christian around the globe, by setting off an amazing domino effect of discouragement and discord in so many churches and their ministries, and by causing all backsliders and prodigals to believe that there is no hope in life so that they may remain utterly lost in their sinful state. Discouragement is a tool which is so worn because I have used it destructively on everybody in the world, and very, very few people even realise that this tool belongs to me."
This tool was priced so high that no one could buy it, and to this very day it has never been sold. It still belongs to the devil, and he still uses it on mankind.
Beware the wiles of the evil one who seeks to destroy our lives through his ever wicked tool of Discouragement..

There is no room for discouragement in the lives of those who keep their eyes on Jesus and refuse to look down at the situation that consumes them. There is no mountain that God will not remove for those who love Him and are living according to His direction.

Haha aye. This is not meant to be a DISCOURAGING (laugh people) post but just felt that I needed to share this after reading it. We just got to HANG in there people.. and let God's love fall upon us. Yep, so lets be there for each other and not let discouragement get into our way.. no matter how bad circumstances are.. because God makes all things possible and easier to bear!
..Fear not, neither be discouraged.. ~ Deuteronomy 1:21b
God Bless and take care!

Feast day of Thomas
Hey LOG, I have something to share.
This period of time has been shitty for me. I've been on a roller coaster ride. You see things turned out even worse between me and my good fren in school, who's a girl. Ya and duh in all problems that happens, its because I liked her. She told me its possible and yet keeps mum bout everything. It kills me to think about it day and night. Then I got reminded of the SYDR rally where that coolio designer fella shared bout his experience. However, I only related to the part where he asked God, why must this happen to him since God is a God of love. I have never understood the later part bout God talking to him and saying God himself still loves him. You see, I was complaining, I was really losing it because God has promised me his plan. And I don't see where that plan is going. Isn't it damn screwed up? I do everything for him and yet he has to give me this kind of treatment? So I decided to go church to ask him why. I reached church at 530pm, yes 530 and spent an hour in the ado room. On the way there, I was already feeling like shit on the bus, I know there were tears fighting to come out. But right when I stepped into the ado room, there was this instant calmness that overwhelmed me and tears wouldn't come out. Suddenly I had the answers to my questions over that hour. I almost fell asleep at the corner because I decided to just stop thinking for a while and feel God's presence. Then nearer to mass I again prayed and talked to God. Once everyone left the room I just kneeled down and this time really asked God for help. This cross is really heavy.
Okay so went to mass and told poey I wanted to be alone, and lucky i did so. The opening hymn was something bout praise God, I realised once I stepped out of the adoration room, I was cynical bout it again. I couldn't bring myself to sing that song yet because of what I have been going through. Then the priest said, today is the feast day of Thomas. I was like, omg and pinched my nose. Isn't Thomas the one who did not believe? He only believed when he saw Jesus' wounds. I pinched my nose coz I didn't wanna cry in church. At that instant, I was like shit, God is reminding me of what I was doing. I feel so guilty. I did not believe in God's plan till I see the end of it or something good coming out of it. I was no different from thomas really. Suddenly the person I have looked down upon for years because of his faith, was the person I find myself similar with. How shameful really. I took quite long to get back to sing lord have mercy. Then the homily, reassured me that God has chosen different apostles to lead the church, Thomas was the down to earth one. God will not abandon me just because I took so long to believe in him. God will always be with me, even though every night i struggle to sleep. But at the end of the day, He'll give us the best we deserve.
