Words of Wisdom

The dreams of your future have no rooms for devastations of your past.

When Aaron, the brother of Moses, died, the entire house of Israel mourned for him thirty days (Numbers 20:29). However, after those thirty days, the time of mourning was over, and the Israelites had to move on with life.

There is a great lesson in this: you must push beyond the past in order to enter the future -- a future filled with great things God has planned for you. The Apostle Paul knew this, which is why he wrote, One thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus (Philippians 3:13-14).

You may have great dreams for your future, but if you fill your future with junk from your past, then you'll never fulfill your dreams. Therefore, like the Israelites, after a certain period of time, you must decide to forget what is behind and press on toward the things that are ahead.


When you refuse to love people because they're hard to love, you forget the fact that God always loves you, even though you're not always easy to love.

God's love for you is unconditional and everlasting. God loves you exactly as you are, and He loves you no matter what you do. God doesn't love you because you are a "good" person; instead, God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us (Romans 5:8).

God is abounding in love and faithfulness (Exodus 34:6).

In 1 John 4:9-11, we are told that, because of God's love for us, we ought to love one another: This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.

"One another" even includes those that are hard to love. Remember, God loves you even though you're not always easy to love. Therefore, you, also, ought to love others, especially those that aren't easy to love.



hello hello. =)

"Be very careful to keep the commandment and the law that Moses the servant of the LORD gave you: to love the LORD your God, to walk in all his ways, to obey his commands, to hold fast to him and to serve him with all your heart and all your soul."
Joshua 22:5
New International Version

Hullo there. Just thought that I shall change my blogging style. Just had a loooonnnggg meaningful awesome talk with my darling. It was great and very connecting. Inspiring likewise. There's more than just walking along the road everyday treating every potholes and pebbles like a common thing. There's more than just treating an everyday problem like any other problem. Maybe it's time to find a solution for that problem. Maybe it's time to fix the potholes and move the pebbles. Avoiding the potholes, pebbles, walking away from the problem, at the end of the day what do you get? Same thing for tomorrow. And for the day after. And the day after the day after. And the following days. So why not pluck up the courage, stand up and fix it? It's not that hard after all. Life doesn't come with so much freedom. God didn't guarantee you an enjoyable life without any obstacles. Like the saying that goes, 'no pain, no gain'. It's true. Things don't always come your way, and they won't come your way just because you want them to. Or just because you ask for it. Instead of asking for it, why not work for it? There's more than just lounging around waiting for a flower to bloom without watering it. Do you think the sun will always shine? Sure it does. But do you think it'll always rain? No it doesn't. If you want the rainbow, you'll have to go through the rain. And you may not get the rainbow in an instant. You may have to go through thunderstorms, hailstorms, lightning, gails. But at the end of it, you've got more than just a rainbow. You've grown more than you'll ever know. You'll be someone who's endured hardships to get something. So why not make a happening instead of being a happening? Great things await. Make something happen. Make a miracle happen. Make the impossible possible. Don't just ask for the sun. Ask for the clouds to shelter when it's too bright. Ask for the rain when it's too hot. All we do is complain of the hot sun when there are probably countries out there going through rain all the days. What about when it rains nonstop and all we do is complain the rain. Is it only then we'll miss the sun and ask for it? Appreciate everything in life. Every bit and every moment. Don't miss any chances. Don't just leave things to be. A flower will not bloom on its own. A child will not nurture on its own. Life comes with many things. Even if we don't see the beautiful things now, we'll receive its lifetime rewards. There's more than just rewards but the experiences. There's so much more to everything. A pebble might just cause you to trip. A rock is bigger than a pebble. If a pebble makes you cry, what happens when you meet the rock? Be brave. Stand up. Be strong.

As much as I'm blogging this spontaneously, I'm teaching myself as well. =)




1011

This is the 1011th post in my blog eversince I first started it in April 2006. It's been such a loooonnnggg time. Singapore was alright to summarize. There's not much to shop for if you visit the malls. But there's PLENTY to shop for if you go to those market places. I got some pretttyyyy good bargains myself. Our first couple tees, lotsa shirts for him, a pair of pants for him and a shirt for myself. Overall I spent about S$50 only. Without all the sales and stuff I would have spent about S$100 already [I calculated =)] So you see, you just gotta know where's the right place to shop at. Anyway, am at my darling's place now. He's singing on the guitar and I'm here blogging on his laptop. We just watched a movie btw. It's called 'Dinosaurs'. A rather old 3D cartoon. Not bad. Reminds me of Land Before Time. I miss that cartoon. There are many follow ups to that cartoon. Till volume 10 if I'm not mistaken. Anyway, I love my new layout. Do you? =D Some pics to gloat at. XD

Iin 10 hours' time, I'll be in the exam hall doing my final paper for this semester. Gosh.. Time REALLY flew by THAT fast. One moment I was anticipating to start uni and next I'm gonna miss uni again till the 10th Aug. This sem flew by and I didn't even feel it for real. Hahah! Anyway, it's accounting and I don't really know what to study but read through the slides and stuff but yeah. Accounting is more on basics. =) I mean, if you know the first few steps in the beginning it'll be alright after that. =) I guess I better read some more now. Hehehe. I wanna get a good sleep. Gotta choreo some bits and rehearse tomorrow for performance on Sat morning. Everyone's been practising except me due to my finals this week. *sobs* I'm gonna rush a quick choreo of I don't know what and I still can't decide my footwear. Darn. Anyway, will be baking tomorrow afternoon and Sat afternoon for sample testing on Sat night. Can't wait can't wait can't wait~!!!!! =D
