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

emo

it's time i tried one of those "emo" posts..hmmm..how do they do it?...

I am/have/feel

troubled
lousy
lazy
no mood
passionless no ambition
no direction
etc

Nobody can really see this coz some ppl say my face is expressionless...
maybe my mom did see some of this and told me that i've been acting different...

HAHAHA..anyway..ya..I do experience difficulties and emotional problems...but I'm tired of dwelling on them...By God's grace I'm continually renewed and changed...

No way am I dwelling on these useless feelings...Jesus didn't die on the cross and rose again for nothing...Although I still have so many problems, the only hope is still to fear God and obey Him...That's what King Solomon said after he tried everything under the sun...yup,he tried everything and all was VANITY...MEANINGLESS...His conclusion was

"Here now is my final conclusion: Fear God and obey his commands, for this is everyone’s duty. God will judge us for everything we do, including every secret thing, whether good or bad."

Ecclesiastes 12 :13-14

Also, I'm reminded in verse 1 " Don’t let the excitement of youth cause you to forget your Creator. Honor him in your youth before you grow old and say, “Life is not pleasant anymore.”"

Why Fellowship? Why go to church? Etc

These are among the questions which may have crossed our minds....
It may be so familiar for 2nd generation Christians like me to go to church, christian fellowship,etc
but there many who would rather go tru life alone. i've come across ppl like that...i tot ppl always wanted company...but maybe not...maybe even christians want to be left alone coz they were hurt,etc

There's a friend of mine who once said he wanted to quit goin to church coz it didn't benefit him,etc....

Then there's another friend who says she feels ok not having a fellowship of christian friends. She also said that she was uneasy with those who were too friendly at church...wat???
And I just found out from her recently that she didn't know that Jesus is the only way to heaven although she had been goin to church from time to time. She thought that each religion has their own beliefs and gods, so each believer will go to their own heaven,rebirth,etc,etc

It was quite hard to explain things to her coz i used Mandarin...wah...hehe...i tried my best la...of coz there's English and Hokkien...it was also hard to even start this topic coz it feels awkward to talk to a fellow christian bout God....Somehow I had to find out how much she knows bout God so I started out asking her what it means to be a christian...it didn't turn out rite but eventually she said weird stuff as mentioned above...so I had a hard time trying to convince her that Jesus is the only way which is why being a Christian ain't easy...

The juniors are coming to UM soon..What will we seniors tell them bout God,CF,church? think about it...

Dat's all for now..saja wanted to blog something...
