Bye Roo!

Well after the initial adrenaline rush of excitement about going into army soon its now reached a period of calm just before the storm. Just feeling oddly emotionless about my impending entry into national service.

Trying to complete a couple of trivial things such as Persona and watching the last 20 episodes of the yugioh series. But doesn't seem like I'll have enough time.

Thanks goes out to all those who've been praying for me. My church, my YE friends, my Christian friends. And to those who've been by my side and encouraged me. I'll honestly miss all you guys. And I'm sure you'll miss me too. My facebook fluffpet Roo already misses me. How sweet of her.

Thank you too Lord for the journey ahead. I shall discover new ways of unveiling your glory and letting it shine. I know nothing that comes in my way is too difficult.

Before I go... Heres one final snippet of bible knowledge I'd like to share in conjunction with what we've learnt in the youth leader training session yesterday. Its a poem on the contents of the bible from the qt material I'm using. Here goes...

In Genesis the world was made,
In Exodus the march was told;
Leviticus contains the law,
In Numbers the tribes enrolled;
In Deuteronomy again
We're urged to keep God's law alone
And these five books of Moses make
The oldest writings ever known.
Brave Joshua to Canaan leads,
In Judges oft the Jews rebel;
We read of David's name in Ruth,
And first and second Samuel;
In first and second Kings we read
How bad the Hebrew state became;
In first and second Chronicles,
Another history of the same.
In Ezra captive Jews return,
While Nehemiah builds the wall;
Queen Esther saves her race from death.
These books "Historical" we call.
In Job we read of patient faith,
In Psalms are David's songs of praise;
The Proverbs are to make us wise;
Ecclesiastes next portrays
How vain fleeting earthly pleasures are;
The Song of Solomon is all
About the love of God, and these
Five books "Poetical" we call.
Isaiah tells of Christ to come,
While Jeremiah tells of woe,
And in his Lamentations mourms
The Holy City's overthrow.
Ezekiel speaks of mysteries,
While Daniel foretells kings of old;
Hosea calls men to repent;
In Joel judgement is foretold.
Amos tells of wrath, and Edom
Obadiah is sent to warn,
While Jonah shows how Christ should rise,
And Micah where He should be born;
In Nahum Nineveh is seen,
In Habakkuk, Chaldea's guilt;
In Zephaniah, Judah's sins,
Haggai, the temples's built.
Zechariah tells of Christ,
And Malachi of John, his signs.
The prophets number seventeen,
And all the books are thirty-nine.

Ok thats all for now. I'll post the one about the NT when I come back. So look forward to it!

Genus 2005

Genus Concert went just fine... NUS Guitar Ensemble is really proded! I want to be like that! Lets see... The guitars I want to master are Acoustic, Bass and Classical! Yeah. Actually this year's Genus concert was a bit interesting. They played a Japanese song and some jazz, but most pieces were classical. The Alto runs were really fast. I could tell that the Guitaron player was good too... Saw Josh there! He was there with his HCJCGE Friends. He was sitting in the row in front of mine. Slept on the bus today and missed the loop. Haha. Well. Had to alight, cross the street and take the bus again. And theres this ulcer right in the middle of my middle lip. It hurts whenever I eat something. But I need my food... Ow. I think the heatiness I get from sleeping less hours caused the ulcer. Looking forward to I-Learning. Can sleep more. Haha. Champions League was crazy. I woke up and went to school to hear the results. ManU Lost 2-0 on aggregate to Ac Milan. Barcelona lost to Chelsea 4-5...

Of God and Demons

Now that'd I've put my last phase of life past me and have some more time to reflect cos I'm C+ for the second time, I feel that it's the correct time to do a bit more reflection about my past, especially the last couple of years. I've always thought that one of the counseling exercises practiced would be helpful for me to process what I've been going through - that is to personify my negative emotions. In a sense to experience that final bit of release from these emotions that have threatened me for a long time. To talk about the inner demons that I've been facing.  Wrath. The fiercest of them all, yet gentlemanly in some ways, calculative in others. People usually imagine wrath to be brawny, in your face and belligerent. But my Wrath is more sinister, sly even. Plotting the downfall of my enemies and using the knowledge that I have to exact vengeance. Over the months I have exerted control of him by reminding myself that only God has the right to judge. De...

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.
