Reminders

Post 487.

Bored... For most of the day kept my computer off, and realized how much it really meant to me. Because all the entertainment I have is on the internet. Gotta start going out more often just for the sake of it, maybe for something random and not work, spiritual or friend related. Perhaps a walk at the nature reserve opposite my house is in order. Yup, just lying down on a grassy patch would be good.

Besides that, the weekend has been one filled with reminders that are due:

Was reminded when talking to Aaron and Max what I truly, purely desired for Gihon. All I want is for them to become closer and closer to God, and that is all I've been asking when I pray for them, because it is the most important and beautiful thing in the world. Perhaps on the way while being with Gihon I forgot about how simple it actually was.

Was reminded to seek God, especially when I prepare to teach others. This weeks SYC reminded me there will be a time when I will face God, and have to answer to Him how I've used the gifts I've been given, and whether I was working on His strength or mine. In the end, it is not about the leader, teacher or preacher, but God's truth and God's word, and I needed to see that once again.

Was reminded that Jesus is always with me, through Canon Wong Tak Meng's sermon on Sunday. Yes, God is on His throne in heaven, yet He is willing to come down to our level to have a relationship with us, and offer His comfort to us no matter who we are. He loves us no matter how different we are from each other, and that knowledge should be more than enough for my life.

Its great how being in the body of Christ does amazing things to a person. And so thank you God for the reminders.

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.

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.
