What r u feeding on???


For this post, the scope is on songs.

I'd like to suggest that u listen to christian songs...

okok....not all the time of coz...but there must be a balance...

watch out for those songs with stupid lyrics like"suicidal suicidal...." , " keep keep bleeding in love","touch my body"(hmm..), " don't u wish ur girlfriend was hot like me?"...the list goes on...stupid rite???? DON'T feed on these stuff...

There r so many good non-christian bands out there...as well as christian ones...

Words are powerful...christian songs have encouraged me and rekindled my faith from time to time . Remember the verse:Faith comes by hearing , and hearing of the Word of God"? 

BTW, there's an online radio station called Positive Life Radio which plays a good mix of songs...so far the songs are all nice and encouraging....do listen to it while doin ur work ... and u can make full use of ur braodband too..lol..

here's the site: http://www.plr.org/Community/listen.html

Hope u'll be blessed...

What does it mean to be Blessed?

What does it mean to be blessed? Good health? financial stability or prosperity? a good life partner? good results?

I realised that I didn't know wat true blessing meant when a speaker at CF asked us: Do u know wat it means to be blessed ? I couldn't answer.....(in my mind were prosperity,good health, good family...etc) I don't seem to be having all of these "blessings"..I cannot deny I have been blessed in so many ways but there are also dilemmas like: The Israelites were slaves in Egypt for 400 years...how is that a blessing? Why did Job have to suffer badly? Why am i in this situation? Is everything my fault?

The answer I caught for the day was: We are blessed because we know God. Hmm quite complicated...No matter wat happens, we know God knows best...God didn't tell Job why he had to suffer......the blessings we WANT may not build us to be the person God intended us to be...To KNOW God ain't easy....I keep forgetting and get disappointed....But He is faithful to remind and teach us if we continually seek Him...

BTW, I don't like to sound so spiritual...ppl tend to look up to me and think I'm super spiritual....
Let's just grow up together as Christians....I fail too.....

Back to my 2nd home with mixed feelings

Yup...my 2nd home is 3rd Residential College in UM.....i do miss it.....can't wait to be back on tues(8th)

I have mixed feelings as I go back to uni life.....
Only those closer to me (or if i'm willing to tell ) will know the "things" which have been playing in my mind quite often and will continue to be a challenge as I go tru this final year at UM.

I think i have at least 3 other christian friends who will start uni life this sem with that hesitatant feeling..its like u dunno what's ahead and u can't trust urself to keep to the resolutions u made so many times before....

Many things have turned out not according to what I hoped it would be like.....

Yup, in God I still wanna trust...hard it is...choice I do not have...patience will be tested....limits will be pushed....God works in ways we cannot see....strength from above..how to understand...it will come when I need it.....

BRING IT ON!!!lol
