Hungry

Its starting to get very very monotonous. School that is. The same thing week in, week out really gets to you yeah? As my last post, I got quite a couple of things to say before I go on hiatus.

Announcement

RIGE concert!
31st Aug 2007
7:30pm
New RI Auditorium

I doubt I'll be going, but those who're interested may fancy a chance to get entertained and relieve some stress. If enough guitar people commit themselves to going I may succumb to peer pressure and go along too. Ah I miss guitar peoples. The only people I see regularly are Chin Heng, Jon Chua and Shu Hui. Where are the rest of you guys? Hope your mugging's going well.

The YE teaching by Shirley made me think of a nice song. Hungry by Kathyrn Scott. If you want the song you can let me know. Here are the lyrics.

Hungry

Verse 1

Hungry, I come to You for I know You satisfy
I am empty but I know Your love does not run dry
So I wait for You
So I wait for You

Verse 2

Broken, I run to You for Your arms are open wide
I am weary but I know Your touch restores my life
So I wait for You
So I wait for You

Chorus

I'm falling on my knees
Offering all of me
Jesus You're all this heart is living for

Kinda sums up everything about beatitudes we've learnt so far doesn't it?

S03H

Feeling sad, yet happy about this... Longing for school to end because of the monotony, yet dreading the end because it marks the end of a healthy social life, the last couple of days to talk to my friends. And most importantly, the last few occasions I can let God touch some of them will occur during this week. Time to use the time wisely! S03H I'll miss you guys. Be sure to plan mugging sessions or stress relieving sessions!

Reflections

A page in life is starting to turn once again. It has been two years since the last page flip. And it'll be a couple of months until the next turning.

This hiatus is more than just rest from blogging, for me it is a symbol of commitment, a milestone I'll use to propel myself to stronger spiritual and mental heights. But I'm aware that stopping for awhile may cause some people to lose a form of spiritual encouragement. Forgive me, for I wish to now grow stronger in Christ myself for now. Rest assured I will be back.

From today onwards, I shall not only study, but use the time to commit myself to God in prayer, in studying his word, and concentrating on His faithfulness with an undying intensity in comparison with what I am doing now. That, I believe, is much more important than studying.

This is my final prayer for now... For myself, for all those taking their As and Os.

Dear Lord, the hearts of me and my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ cry out to You. Give us Your wisdom and strength. We believe we can excel and propel ourselves to greater heights with the strength You give us!

Teach us Lord to have faith, to learn how to seek You even when we're busy. You are the wonderful God who knows what we think, You know the desires of our heart. Fufill them! Use them, so we may be vessels for You. Give us utter confidence in what we believe is your will.

In the near future You will give us our callings and send us to wherever you want us to be. Through this examination, may Your will be revealed, so that we may work towards the goal You have in mind. To the glory of Your name!

Amen.

With the strength of God, and the sword in my hand, I will overcome all obstacles! I will cut them down, and reach the finishing line that God himself has given me. And when that happens, I will praise the Lord, for He has been good, and will be evermore.

Hiatus begins.

Digimon

 I'm feeling quite nostalgic and have been thinking about my childhood a lot recently. A lot of it is because of the retreat I just had with my CG members and how having such a retreat reminded me of days that were more slower paced and more relaxed.  It makes me want to relive some of my memories. Two ways that I've thought about is soccer - I've been watching some of the World Cup matches, and it reminds me of the late nights I had watching matches when I was 15 or so and just starting this blog. About how soccermugger came to be in the first place and how I wanted this platform to post about soccer scores and how I felt about the matches I watched. The other way is to watch old anime, and I'm thinking about revisiting the first ever anime I watched which was Digimon. It was televised in Mandarin at 8am, and I remember waking up early on the weekends to watch it fervently. Maybe its time to do that again.  In general I guess my inclinations are to be more at ease and

Vanguard

It’s taken a long time, but I think my heart is finally at peace. It’s been a tough journey but I am glad to say the worst of it is over. At the moment am surrounded by those who matter to me and I am doing meaningful things. Truly thankful that God has returned me to such a state.  In this season of Good Friday and Easter the word Vanguard comes to mind. Maybe it’s that season of life where God is exactly that for me, where we will be together in uncharted battlegrounds in both personal and professional life.  Not too sure when my next post will be but hope the next will be better than the last. Until next time! 

Ride On

Recently things have been going really well. I've had a leadership position in my workplace for almost one year now and it is quite amazing how God has guided throughout the way. Despite this I feel that I have achieved the balance between my work, personal life and I'm in some sort of a flow that makes me satisfied about how things are going. I'm about to transition to another stage of it, and it feels that along the way God has prepared me each and every step. There's a lot to give thanks for.  Things are really cruising along. I've always liked a good, smooth drive and life feels that way at the moment. Its been a long time along a bumpy road but finally things feel right.  Praise be to God who calms the raging seas. Praise be to God who can be counted on for the hardest difficulties in life.  Not sure when the next post be, but I think if things carry on the way they are, more good posts are to come.
