Chocolate

Apologies for being laggy as always...

Well balancing the many things I've got to do is becoming sort of a challenge... In between school work, YE stuff, personal stuff, and dates with Vanessa I haven't gotten down to writing a good post, and I apologize to those who are regular readers!

In the duration of the long time I've not posted, classes have started full force, and my schedule, though not perfect, has Monday as a free day, which Vanessa too has free. In a way it truly is the providence of God for classes that don't occupy a good monday. But besides that, I've got Tuesdays and Thursdays mega long, but Wednesdays spanning 2 hrs (with a 1hr random evening lesson) and Fridays spanning 4 hours, which is not too bad! This semester bidding has been extremely expensive and not very successful, but all the same I thank God for teaching me to be flexible and to learn to adapt to change!

On the YE front, now that I have the luxury of hindsight, that once again I've grown as a leader, thanks to RAZE 2012! It's wonderful in a way, when on that day where we had time individually, God strengthened me and spoke into my life, telling me that I right where I belong, coordinating a ministry where He wants to make amazing changes. That's translated into boundless confidence when I stand before my brothers and sisters in YE, and that's another thing to give thanks for!

For Holland Cell, I must say I'm completely satisfied with how things have been going, and one of the first sessions of the year about Knowing God gave me the chance to put things in perspective about my Christian journey. I've learned fully how to love God, but now, God is revolutionizing my concept of love, showing me that His love is not a passive love. Until now I've always thought the ultimate kind of love is a love that is unconditional, willing to die for others. I've reached that! But I lack something so basic in my love for others... And that is it has to be active, reaching out, touching. And I'm still learning that. Thanks be to God for showing me the way forward!

Finally, leisure stuff! I'm finally on the second page of the Heroic Polonaise, with many more pages to go... And now I'm playing a new game: Alpha Protocol. Having trouble with the toughest boss in the game now though. :P

2013 has started off busy, and I must say many a nights I'm not having enough sleep. But yet, everything seems good, its as if the peace of God is with me. Knowing that I'm right with Him because of what Jesus has done, and also that I'm right where on the path He's called me to be. It's simply an amazing feeling.

Ah yes one thing I've wanted to do is link my blog to fb so that when I post it pops up on the feed. Anyone has any idea how I can do that? :) Thanks!

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.
