24 days to promos... argh... this is like madness... i haven't really done much except for econs today... and math the past week... but that doesn't really count. argh. i've been such a slacker... grr...
God has been really good to me these past week. its been really tiring... and i just realised how hard it is to be Esther Ang. its really difficult. and i realise that i can't do a lot of things, and can only leave it to God to help me to do it. many things has happened... the big fat failure that i am... realising that i did what i told myself that i wouldn't do... everything. and when i find that oh my goodness, life is so bizarre and crazy and i'm near dying of exhaustion, He's there all ready to catch me with His loving arms. but ya. quiet time has been extremely fulfilling this past week and i must say i'm enjoying every moment of it. i actually wish that i can just stay in His presence 24/7 just meditating on His word all my life and not study for promos or stuff like that.
1 Corinthians 10:11-13
'These things happened to them as examples and were written down as warnings for us, on whom the fulfilment of the ages has come. So, if you are standing firm, be careful that you don't fall! No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.'
yup. i really want to lean on Him more and more each day because i find that He is my only source of comfort. its like... when everything around u is so intangible, so temporal, so material, and when u realise how God and His Perfect Love transcends time and really reaches into the depths of your heart so that in everything u will be able to rejoice in Him, that feeling is AWESOME. and i don't intend to let it go away at all. i really feel liberated and free in Him. and i want to put His word to action, but i just realised how difficult it is to be living God's word and not merely knowing God's will. its so hard. but i know He will see me through it!!! i'm confident of it. yah!
a lot of things have happened... F5... we have to remain strong k? we made so many promises to each other... our dreams... our hopes... our future... and i want to be able to fulfill everything that i've commited with you guys! HANG IN THERE BABES!!!! we will make it thru all this. especially honyi... i've missed u probably the most... everytime i see u, i have so much to tell u, but i just can't seem to say anything. life has been challenging, for u, for me, for E, Nat and Bea. but nonetheless, we have to put our trust in God and with each other yeah? i'm so sorry i can't go for today's MAS... i wanted to very badly... but i haven't been very well... that's a pathetic excuse i know... i'm really sorry. i want to see u do your dance... or rather try to do your dance... lol. ya. and i know that its been really hard for u, being the only one in HC.. sigh. miss u a lot...
i guess i've never really understood the meaning of 'the test of time' until now... this test ain't easy. its actually the most difficult of them all. but then again, in God everything is timeless, so i don't have to worry a thing.
Psalm 26:2
'Test me, O Lord, and try me, examine my heart and mind; for your love is ever before me, and i walk continuously in your truth.'
Ecclesiastes 3:1-14
'There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven:
a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
a time to scatter stones and a time to gather time,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain,
a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
a time to tear and time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.
What does the worker gain from his toil? I have seen the burden God has laid on men. He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end. I know that there is nothing better for men than to be happy an do good while they live. That everyone may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all his toil- this is the gift of God. I know that everything God does will endure forever; nothing can be added to it and nothing taken from it. God does it so men will revere him.'
Amen to that... haha. whoar... i'm feeling so good... yay.
all rightio. time to do work again... lol.
