A time of Sanity
Wondering what Sanity is?? Was just reading on ex-church sister's blog online, and understand that she was going through a period of melancholy days. Well, she is a sister that was really close to my heart, and we could share quite a few things in each other's lives.
Didnt really know what happened suddenly, but she chose to leave the church. How have things changed since then? After losing her handphone number (when i lose my handphone), she have not been sms-ing me, or even when I managed to catch her in school one day, and told her to sms me her number, she didnt also. Whats wrong? How can I help?
Was talking to David Chan one day, and he mentioned that "we may thought that she needed some time alone, so we left her alone. But probably that wasnt what she wanted."
Putting on different masks for different purposes has seem to be part of my life already. So much so that sometimes I'm not even sure which is the real me. I yearn for the time I can spent just by myself, away from the city, from the problems and blah. It's probably something all of us have on the wish list as well. The concrete jungle, hustle and bustle of the city can be claustrophobic.
The above paragraph is quoted from her blog. Think that paragraph just spoke out what I want in life also. Was talking to my "brother" online today, and he has made a decision to go overseas, without a job or studies secure. Was asking him, how can he dare to go overseas without a secure plan, and he told me, Mei, you need to focus on what you want in life,make a decision and go do it. Dont let anything hold you back.
Does that sound like wise advice to you?? To me, it sure does. I dont want to end up regretting things that I have not done 30 years down the road, when I am old and cant do anything more.

one definition of the "insanity" is expecting different result when you are doing the same thing over again...
:)
learn this from a book. :)
well. i have something to share here. i am sure everyone of us is not unfamiliar with the following passage from James.
JAS 4:13 Now listen, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money." 14 Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. 15 Instead, you ought to say, "If it is the Lord's will, we will live and do this or that."
it is the Lord's will for us to carry out some of our own thing? question that so important for us to ponder every moment of our life.
after having late dinner with Kelvin. that dinner is really oily oily for me.
on our way back, i was telling him about some thought i have, "well, when we possess more understanding and know more of God's truth, we struggle the greater level. it is better to be ignorance of thing, then, you are free of trouble." Kelvin then warned me, "God might will strike you with lightning then you got what you want." ha ha...
my point is that, God's word is shared and make known to us that it might start a transforming work in us, but, let us allow it to operate within us.
tough for me, as i going thru some thought in my mind. but let God take control. Amen.
After reading the blog, I went to update the M&M page. And the verse for this Friday just somehow 'pop-up' (aye.. so used to this term already) and stirred my heart.
'But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.' Matt 6:33
It's probably not a verse that everyone can easily identify with. I'm thinking what God is trying to say to me... what does it mean to each of you leh?
there's a fine line between being daring to persue ur dreams and being rash in ur decisions... i hope its well drawn and visible for u, Jarain (",)
a dream will remain a dream if u dun make a plan out of it - my own quote muahahaha
well. understand from Jarain she wanted to go oversea for volunteering program for at least a year.
i think that is kind of youth that Singapore needed for better Singapore. :)
Oh what volunteering program is that? Tell me more. =)
