Ripening Fruit

Finally, we are in the thick of youth month... As I see the hustle and bustle around me I'm reminded of PoP last year, and this year expectations are running high with SoS... Quite excited to see what will come out of it. If anything, its a big testament of God's faithfulness!

So far I've been focusing more on the leader's training syllabus, and my heart goes out to all the older ones in YE... When I was in YE at the age of 17+ I already found myself not learning much from the weekly sessions, because many of those things were information that I heard before that, and served merely as reminders. I only was able to grow spiritually as a result of putting God and others before myself, and that I learnt through leadership! It's quite fantastic how my spiritual journey improved by leaps and bounds because I was able to forsake my own selfish desires and have that loving relationship with God my heavenly father, and being in favor with man... And I really hope that as many of them find this path as well!

So, some updates on my leisure time activities... For one, I've started being interested in gaming videos, and on youtube I found a channel called Smosh Games that piqued my interest. Most of all I enjoy viewing review + game play videos for some reason I still don't really understand hmmm... Besides that, I've reached the sixth page of Heroic, which is immensely difficult with its left hand repetitions. My left hand hurts even from less than five minutes of metronome practice... I've finished all faction quests for Oblivion, and now focusing on city based quests. Lastly, the latest anime I've watched is Shinigami no Ballad, and I give it a big thumbs up for something different from much of the anime out there. It's only 6 episodes, so its suitable for light viewing.

In my walk with God I find myself in a place of deepening humility, realizing that it is God in control of everything, and I'm merely following along, saying "Here I am, send me..." I also am opening up to the fact that God does not NEED me but He WANTS me to serve with Him. That is immensely humbling, and a new ethos in life that I've come to cherish very much.

My relationship with Van will soon reach 2 years, and what a bountiful and blissful 2 years it has been! Its quite a blessing that when I'm busy with my school work she has the space to support me, and now I'm doing it for her whilst she is busy. God really does put things together with such efficacy... I'm very much enjoying the journey of life that I'm sharing with her, and because of this journey I feel I have matured much and my spiritual life deepened in understanding.

Its been awhile since I've posted, and I've allowed quite a few of my thoughts to amalgamate and ripen, so this post may seem more mellow in a way hmm... Well we'll see what the following weeks bring until the next post! =)

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.
