hey log.
missing ya'll. (:
today im just reminded a super lot. that
god is love.
and love is all around us.
how great is that huh?
the love that binds us all so greatly,
is the love which he died to bring us salvation
so that we too, may love those around us.
well, on thurs at the gospel of john thing. father vaz talked about the beloved disciple. yup though many of us may think that john IS the beloved disciple, it is, actually an unconfirmed fact.
the beloved disciple is a way of life. it represents what an ideal christian is like. he/she is able to recognise and acknowledge faith in christ such that he/she is one who lets love flow through him such that is affects every aspect of yout life. it is a reflection of the love of christ.
also, because he/she's called "beloved disciple" it demonstrates that to god, our earthly names are not important, because he knows the heart of each and everyone of us, for he has "known [us] since before [we] were formed in the womb" what matters to god is the relationship we have with him, and how we function as an example of christ's love.
jesus' dying on the cross is the manifestation of his glory. which represents the love he has for each and everyone of us.
god loves you. a hell lot.
and so do i (:
came to my rescue
falling on my knees in worship
giving alli am to seek your face
lord all i am is yours
my whole life i place in your hands
god of mercy
humbled i bow down
in your presence, at your throne.
i called,
you answered
and you came to my rescue
and i want to be where you are
in my life
be lifted high
in our world
be lifted high
in our love
be lifted high.

hallo loggeritas.
promos for ceejay'ies are almost over fooooo!
so more time. and i found this
thought it might help.
amidst any limbo of hell you are going through now,
hope this might :) you up.
or, just some alternative reading from the lecture notes.
YOUR CROSS
the everlasting God has in His wisdom foreseen from eternity the cross that He now presents to you as a gift from His inmost heart.
this cross He sends you,
He has considered with His all-knowing eyes,
understood with His divine mind,
tested with His wise justice,
warmed with loving arms
and weighed with His own hands to see that it be not one inch too large and not one ounce too heavy for you.
He has blessed your cross with His holy Name,
anointed it with His grace,
perfumed it with His consolation,
taken one last glance at you and your courage, and then sent it to you from heaven,
a special greeting from God to you,
an alms of the all-merciful love of God.
-St Francis de sales.
irony much
we ask for blessings
it comes in crosses
and we ask God to take it back.
we're blessed, ya'll.
very really blessed kiddos we are.
so praise God.
promos whoooooooosh!

Septembers..
*Here's an extract from my blog, modfied and added on so as to suit here.
So i've been slacking while not studying, not coming to sessions as cannot. Well, if you read this now means you're pretty free.
"I was just refelcting how lucky am i; how blessed am i. Do i have a right to blame God or or anything like that? Friends i have, grown much this year(not height la). Although i may feel lonely in some places/groups of people, i know i'll always have You with me, Lord. I've thinking of pushing but i don't seem to find the will to do so.
Blessed us all Lord. Bless the forgotten,
the dejected,
the downcast,
the dispirited,
the fallen,
the strays,
the lonely.
May You forever overshadow them
so that Your Love may i day break into their hearts
turned stone by the harshness of the world.
May they in turn be instruments of Your Love.
I pray Lord that through yYour Grace I may become Your spirited servant,
Continue the work you've set before me,
though my heart says otherwise.
Amen."

Hi LOG
Firstly, thanks for the session! It got me thinking even more.
And today's mass was great. I was really struck by the second reading and here's wad i gotta share.
Its the same thing. like duh.
during recollection in the hols, i drew a time graph. Only 2 factors decided whether it was high or low. God and her.
SYDR made me high. She ignoring me made me low. Her birthday was the highest point, and after that it went straight down all the way. SJS made me go up a bit and back down again. So, who's in control of my life? Is it God? No.
These few days have been spent mugging and thinking. And suddenly i was so shocked that i found so many similarities between these 2 factors that controlled my life.
God loves me. I know it, we know it. But I know I haven't been returning his love or responding to it. Same thing for my case isn't it?
God died on the cross for me, and I only be reminded and be touched about it when its easter or christmas. I screwed up my studies, my council work, my life just because I was so mad over her, make her things and try to make her happy, wad do i get in return? "sorry"
God keeps wanting to talk to me and spend time with me. I only give him my sunday mornings and 5 minutes every night plus the few rushed seconds before meals. I get sian smses and just sometimes we can hold a good conversation and be happy.
God treats me as his child. I sin and hurt him. She's like my world and yet im kinda negligible. After everything, I am just a normal friend now.
God tries to help me in reshaping my life, I say no I can do it myself, you'll only make it worse. I try to help her with council work, or with summaries. All I get is a NO or a thank you without realising what I actually meant to do.
God has to share with me with the people that are more important in my life, like her. She also has her own friends and the buaya guys that never leave her side (okay now they do, one got attached =)). Difference is I get jealous, God does not.
God waits and waits, so do I. Eventually I will return to God but I won't know about her.
my point is. Whatever I felt shitty about, being played or just totally devestated by what had happen is probably experienced by God in many folds. Because I know, I talk to God about her, 80% of every prayer is about her ever since the start of the year. I asked for it without thinking how it will glorify God. So I keep on praying and praying and I turned my back on God, 3 times. yes 3 times. I questioned him, I lost my faith in him, I asked him why he went back on his promise to reward me. Yes I couldn't believe it, I asked for my reward from him when I know I shouldn't.
I didn't raise my hand when swee asked will you follow me? After that during the song, I just whispered to God. Lord I will take up my cross and follow you.
Still many questions unanswered but the most impt one has been answered. I know now Lord. Let things happen according to your will.

hey guys (:
don't know why but here's what crossed my mind when i decided to visit the LOG blog today (:while reading the posts, i realised that yes we now have a log prayer (: and then i saw the posts and i felt really happy because somehow i feel that you guys are still log afterall and still there always will be there and i'm so glad to have you guys in my life (: and i think the power of prayer, in an odd way, very indirectly have made us closer together.. well effects are intangible but i'm pretty sure God wanted to me to say what i just said.
and i've been saying my log prayer every night! (:
it's like what 4days to my promos and i'm online!!oh dearrr.
took me quite a bit of effort to gain this faith in God...God told me one day while i was praying that he will help me get through my exams, and that i will not get retained. it's hard to believe, because honestly, anything is possible and i haven't been the most hardworking person around, but i am telling you now, that I WILL NOT GET RETAINED. because He told me so (:
yay.and just THINKING about what small jess said, LOG OUTINGS! (: i can't wait. i really miss each and everyone of you, how i lost almost all of you to school/work/time/life in general, everything really. CAN'T WAIT! (:
love LOG!
guess who?

Hey Loggers!
im taking a short break from physics! ahhaha
anyway yesterday i saw something interesting...
outside toa payoh mrt, there was this blind man with a walking stick by himself... then somehow he almost banged head 1st into the street light infront of him. Then suddenly this stranger just grabbed his arm and pulled him away before he hit the lampost. i was like woah! heng ah...
(not like i didnt try to help or anything...i just noticed him right before he almost hit the thing..)
anyway..the man just continued to hold on to the blind guys arm and he guided him all the way to the mrt station..up the steps down the steps down somemore steps...until he got to the mrt..all this while...they did not talk. the man never said where he was bring the blind guy nor did the blind guy ask who he was or where he was taking him. He just trusted the stranger..
that got me thinking..hur hur..
Let Helpful dude be God and Blind dude be Us.
haha
so just like Us..so blinded as we are preoccupied by the worldly stuff around us...we somehow or another fall and meet problems...or even bang into street lights haha..but God will protect us! and pull us away from any lamp post that we might bang our heads into haha! And not only that! he will guide us to our goals and through our journeys in life..(underpass to mrt) and through the bumpy roads and ups and downs in our lives..(stairs) all we have to do is trust in him! and dont doubt him. like how the blind dude never doubted the stranger..
You know the blind dude could have gotten a shock and curse the dude for jerking him like that..for he never knew the lamp post was infront of him even though he tried to tap tap his walking stick..(thats just like how we try to life by our ways) yeah and sometime we just dont know when a lamppost is right smack infront of our face and that we are about to bang into it..so just trust in the lord and let him guide you..cos hes there watching over you..and when he grabs your arm! dont pull away and follow..hahahaa And God knows where you want to go..no need to tell him..he will bring you there...
All things are possible with the Lord.
:D
so dont worry about your exams too much! hes there! just do your best and God will do the rest.
Nise.

hello log (: this is jess. small jess. i'm supposed to be studying for the stupid intl history exam tmr but my brain is quite dead. and im not even half done revising everything. but yes decided to come blog here because i havent in ages. ok actually ive only blogged here like twice i think.
i miss log. i havent been the fun-nest person to be around lately. dont know why, sundays dont seem to be my days anymore. i think its stupid school and maybe cos i hardly talk to anyone of you on a regular basis. dont think its your fault, not mine, i think its time's fault. haha but yes i promise i will try my very best not be so grouchy on sundays and talk more. how's everyone doing? must be studying hard for your exams or you're playing very hard. all you lucky poly people. anyway i hope you're all doing fine. if there's anything, god's there! me too, but if youre not comf, god's there! haha.
i think we should all go out soon. food+movie sounds good. i suggest at someone's house. can all save money. talking about that, poey i havent gone over to your house in a long while. how's the dogs? (: but okay i shall stop rambling. shall leave you with this (points down)
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. (isaiah 40:30-31)
oh and rmbr to pray the log prayer (: much love, jess & god.
praise god.
hello! its 12.48 right now and i just wanna share something nice that just happened.
i was just thinking about all the shitty stuff i've been going through.
and then suddenly my windows media player went...
thank you for the cross Lord,
thank you for the price you paid.
simple words, but so powerful.
i felt his love all of a sudden, and i felt better!
so praise god. and worthy is the lamb (:

i deleted the previous post.
thank God.
You know now when i think back about yesterday in church, all seems like a blur, because I've been constantly been immersed in the grace of God.
You know that kinda feeling when you're like floating and you are held up by someone and your feet ain't touching the ground.
Thank God for carrying me along the beach, thats y i only saw one footprint.
I guess me and her will be back to friends, although not the same as in January but praise God for performing this miracle for me. Thanks justin, rice, swee and all those who assured me that God was with me still and he didn't abandoned me.
Go read the book of job. =) it made me realise a whole load of stuff. This is God's plan for me, and i shall continue living it because who are we to question his actions? We are his instruments here on earth and only to expereience him more than others so that we can share it with others. By seeing how God works through us, others will come to believe that He really is present and He loves us. =)
yay

SHINE JESUS SHINE FILL THIS LAND WITH THE FATHERS GLORY..
haha i never fail to zhao sia (if thats how you spell it) at that last bit, stupid sore throat. but fnun fun anyways (:
today it started out a bit weird, and i didn't really feel any spiritual thing. to be honest nothing really hit it over the head (with a brick!) until that kneeling bit for the blessed sacrament.
it rain and rain showers of blessing, the rain was refreshing (:
we knelt, the gravel road is even but hard and pokey.
i was just enjoying the rain and the presence of god that i felt around me but my heart wasn't really... IN to the whole thing. I was trying hard(maybe too hard) to feel something because i knew that God was there.
Strangely enough Oliver who was kneeling in front of me was feeling the effects of the gravel road, without any 'cushion' your knees do tend to ache and hurt though it gets a little numbe with slight sharp pains if you move. anyways, he kept slipping back so that his knees wouldn't hurt.
once he slipped back,
i thought to myself that i should take my slippers off and offer it to him.
but i didnt, thinking that he'll be fine without it.
twice.
i was hoping someone like kris would do that instead.
but she didnt.
my heart was like, i should! i should do it!just take the damn thing off and offer it to him so as to make it not so painful already
what harm will it do to me? nothing! absolutely nothing! so why the heck am i not doing it? i have no idea!
i got quite frustrated with myself. i wondered to myself why was it so hard just to do something nice.
I tried to ignore it really, trying to convince myself that he really is fine and he'll live without a slipper. haha but no! i couldn't worship God at all why this was like... scratching the back of my brain.
then thrice(the whole sequence sounds a tad familiar doesnt it? )
finally, i took the 'chance' i eventually decided to take off the silly ol' slipper. i tapped him on the back and offered, partly relieved i finally got that off my chest. Funnily enough, he just waved it off with his hand as if saying that he didn't need it. was perfectly fine with it because i tried (: yay for that. so i looked at the slipper and it looked at me and i smiled. (at the slipper yes! but for God (: )
then a little while later he decided to use it. and ho ho ho! guess who was happy! oliver of course. his knees are relieved. haha. okok jes was really quite happy. suddenly, a lot of happy thoughts ran through my head and a lot of things linked up (: i cried happy cry of course (:
this small incident really made quite a difference (thank you liver)
It just goes to show how if i just take the step n a lot of things in my life and stopped holding back, i might fail at first but when it suceeds it feels damn good. i could give you many interpretations of this, for linking mini thoughts to larger things in life is my forte. haha.
after that, everything went up. not to mention, seeing a lot of my old IJ friends really topped it off. knowing that God touched so many IJ girls, bringing them all back, maybe it was all the familarity and stuff about IJ that i missed (: Then again, it always rocks when you see your school mates in a spiritual sense ( rather than all that IJ low belt, ponning, slack and stuff like that) there is a certain serenity to that.
ok. i think thats my sharing. long huh? BLOG VOMIT!
i have much more to share but another time (:
Thank you all for a lovely time today and thank God for the rain.
Praise God because he's always there hugging you. (:
-jes loves you.

i deleted the previous post.
thank God.
You know now when i think back about yesterday in church, all seems like a blur, because I've been constantly been immersed in the grace of God.
You know that kinda feeling when you're like floating and you are held up by someone and your feet ain't touching the ground.
Thank God for carrying me along the beach, thats y i only saw one footprint.
I guess me and her will be back to friends, although not the same as in January but praise God for performing this miracle for me. Thanks justin, rice, swee and all those who assured me that God was with me still and he didn't abandoned me.
Go read the book of job. =) it made me realise a whole load of stuff. This is God's plan for me, and i shall continue living it because who are we to question his actions? We are his instruments here on earth and only to expereience him more than others so that we can share it with others. By seeing how God works through us, others will come to believe that He really is present and He loves us. =)
yay

SHINE JESUS SHINE FILL THIS LAND WITH THE FATHERS GLORY..
haha i never fail to zhao sia (if thats how you spell it) at that last bit, stupid sore throat. but fnun fun anyways (:
today it started out a bit weird, and i didn't really feel any spiritual thing. to be honest nothing really hit it over the head (with a brick!) until that kneeling bit for the blessed sacrament.
it rain and rain showers of blessing, the rain was refreshing (:
we knelt, the gravel road is even but hard and pokey.
i was just enjoying the rain and the presence of god that i felt around me but my heart wasn't really... IN to the whole thing. I was trying hard(maybe too hard) to feel something because i knew that God was there.
Strangely enough Oliver who was kneeling in front of me was feeling the effects of the gravel road, without any 'cushion' your knees do tend to ache and hurt though it gets a little numbe with slight sharp pains if you move. anyways, he kept slipping back so that his knees wouldn't hurt.
once he slipped back,
i thought to myself that i should take my slippers off and offer it to him.
but i didnt, thinking that he'll be fine without it.
twice.
i was hoping someone like kris would do that instead.
but she didnt.
my heart was like, i should! i should do it!just take the damn thing off and offer it to him so as to make it not so painful already
what harm will it do to me? nothing! absolutely nothing! so why the heck am i not doing it? i have no idea!
i got quite frustrated with myself. i wondered to myself why was it so hard just to do something nice.
I tried to ignore it really, trying to convince myself that he really is fine and he'll live without a slipper. haha but no! i couldn't worship God at all why this was like... scratching the back of my brain.
then thrice(the whole sequence sounds a tad familiar doesnt it? )
finally, i took the 'chance' i eventually decided to take off the silly ol' slipper. i tapped him on the back and offered, partly relieved i finally got that off my chest. Funnily enough, he just waved it off with his hand as if saying that he didn't need it. was perfectly fine with it because i tried (: yay for that. so i looked at the slipper and it looked at me and i smiled. (at the slipper yes! but for God (: )
then a little while later he decided to use it. and ho ho ho! guess who was happy! oliver of course. his knees are relieved. haha. okok jes was really quite happy. suddenly, a lot of happy thoughts ran through my head and a lot of things linked up (: i cried happy cry of course (:
this small incident really made quite a difference (thank you liver)
It just goes to show how if i just take the step n a lot of things in my life and stopped holding back, i might fail at first but when it suceeds it feels damn good. i could give you many interpretations of this, for linking mini thoughts to larger things in life is my forte. haha.
after that, everything went up. not to mention, seeing a lot of my old IJ friends really topped it off. knowing that God touched so many IJ girls, bringing them all back, maybe it was all the familarity and stuff about IJ that i missed (: Then again, it always rocks when you see your school mates in a spiritual sense ( rather than all that IJ low belt, ponning, slack and stuff like that) there is a certain serenity to that.
ok. i think thats my sharing. long huh? BLOG VOMIT!
i have much more to share but another time (:
Thank you all for a lovely time today and thank God for the rain.
Praise God because he's always there hugging you. (:
-jes loves you.
