Post 482! Have updated some links... Deleted some that are locked, and have added more of YE since I've recently found new blogs to read! =) Driving test has finally been finalized (forgive the redundancy, just wanted to emphasize the word final) on the 25th of June, 3:45pm. Though I have total confidence in my own driving, the danger is to neglect God and put him aside, and that is something that I never wanna do. I really hope I pass, so that I can start driving people around and experience driving on the roads faster than 50km/h. Those days in army of driving so slow really were horribly sleep inducing... I've minimized the number of mini "projects" on my hands to a maximum of two per week to get the relaxed yet a little busy feel I've always loved. Those "projects" include various things like teaching for cell, playing hymns, helping out in GB/BB, planning for BS and etc. On one hand, I really love bearing good fruit for God, but on the other, I real...

Post number 481! Rev Cecil McSparron. I've never seen him before, but from what I've heard during the memorial service, he was really an amazing person. Everything that I want to be. Being able to hear about how he touched the lives of so many of the adults in church today was inspiring. And the most wonderful thing: he touched my life even through me hearing about him. That's just how amazing I think he is. From what I've heard, his expository sermons were awe-inspiring, his ministry was fruitful, his heart was full of concern for every single person around him, to the point of him remembering every little single detail of conversations he's had with people. His desire was that people seek the will of God when making decisions, and he truly loved God with all his heart, soul, and mind. Wonder if I'll be like that someday? See you in heaven, Rev McSparron. Looking forward to meeting you!

Hi all... Getting into the rhythm of the life I had before SERVE once again. Have taken out my jap books and sign language books and gone through them to get refreshed, started doing small bits of exercise at home and continued with my driving lessons. All that plus staying at home, enjoying my own space and time. Some days involve meetings and such, a break in the monotony which is well recieved. I must say... This is the daily lifestyle I'd like to lead if I could. But more than that is demanded of me; by God, by society, and by those around me. So gladly, I'll step into the world to meet its challenges. Come August, it'll once again be time to step out and reach higher. Not for my sake, but for the sake of everyone else. As for now, its time to just enjoy this peace and rest, for it'll never come again. 4 months. It'll go by in a flash.

Recently I've been watching Beck: Mongolian Chop Squad, which is a pretty fine anime. The only problem is the vulgarities being thrown around. Its about a boy named Koyuki, who eventually learns the guitar and joins a band in their bid to become famous. The main character, Koyuki really reminds me of the time I started to learn the guitar... How I was so fervent about it, how I was someone plain, mediocre if not for the fact that I found my talent, my place in the world, my confidence. That's why I really love music, because if not for it, I wouldn't be who I am now. This is the exact thing Koyuki experienced, though in different ways. Music has hurt me, music has blessed me, music has inspired me, music has stressed me, and the mixture of emotions that comes with it convinces me that true music comes from the heart, and how it cries out to others. Every single time I hold the guitar, emotions just flow, pure and uninhibited. And that's how I want to touch people the pe...
