right now is 5.15pm according to my computer. i have already been searching all around for network in my WHOLE ENTIRE college..and finally there is one spot that allow my computer to run normally....sigh...life without internet at home is tough...everything is so technological right now...email exploded after not checking it for a few days....thank God my roommate just transferred the line over...should be having connection soon. yay!
so yes!! a little bit about myself...after my cell leader left for US wow....i must say this is the period where i was challenged to learn to handle so many many things...now i know that it is not easy being doing what she does...LOTS of responsibilities...so shirley, if you are reading this i want you to know....i heart you now...(heart = understanding, right?)
so the first challenge was to preach in cell! wow...my first time...but thank God for great cell members who never fail to encourage me and continue being encouraging and also for good leaders who actually told me where else i can improve on. Yup so its an unforgetable experience and i so love love love love love it!
oh before that! SJC Rocks! my goodness...this is one hot thing that has impacted so many people! i heard that HELP university college HMC students were into this right now....one of the magazine editor was saved during this drama and the other day in cell group, there cayman was interviewing the two main cast Hunter and Samantha (both my cell members, *proud*)...so we shall see how the movement goes!
and a tiring week of studying and midterms...goodness gracious...i almost thought i was about to break...but somehow i always got the extra strength to move further than i thought i can....prayer works! :) Amen! and then the next thing was to organize a cell group outing! again this was my first time...and so initially it was a little bit messy...but in the end everything turned out well...we have great time barbequeing in Helen's place...met a lot of new friends...have all the guys bbq for the girls, also played "mouth and finger not the same" and charades (the guys were bullying the girls in this game..hunter especially =P)...and then they made the girls dance as forfeit....so we all danced beat dance to Anthony's song...which is called "Ang Tong Ni" hahaha...and they had a video of us doing crazy stuffs to that dance...randall and edwin planning to post it up on youtube BUT...its only for private viewing :P sorry ya hahaha...so here are some nice cute pictures...(for self-gratification sake :P)
Yummy!
Hunter's cheating! He's spelling it out!
E22 The normal
...and the not-so-normal
and then i had a challenging weekend of trying to be bold and courageous...hrmmm challenging myself to the limit...and had a great talk with Felicia...man she's so anointed and inspiring...you go girl! and then....wow...this weekend Keith's message was really good...it was about renewing YOur mind, let your faith be tested and also encouraging people to walk in love...the last one was the most impacting one for me. You see...it is true that sometimes people do quiet time and spend time with God just for the sake of daily routine? and sometimes we just forget why we ever do it anymore...and we find ourselves dragging our feet to the table to read the Word and to pray...or maybe while we were praying...some of us fall back asleep...and i realized another thing is that everytime we come before God and pray...we constantly ask from God...ask ask ask...and we want to just receive and receive and receive! rarely we actually give something back or offer something back....
so when Keith spoke about spending time with God not because we want something from Him but because we miss His presence and we want to be with Him...then i realized...wow...it is true that we always want something but we never really asked what He wants isn't it? He only wanted us to spend time with Him and at the same time also enjoy the time we had with Him....the attitude coming before Him...is truly really important.. i didn't really know that there was an attitude present...i mean i do...but i don realize it until when it was spoken about...(do i sound complicated?)..often we do it in a rush before we go to school...and sometimes genuinity is lacking...so this morning i woke up...and i really come before God with just a heart of wanting to spend time with Him...not demanding anything in my prayers...but just tell Him how much i appreciate His presence...and it feels really different...it feels closer...and i don't know...just really amazing...and truly that love comes from wanting to spend time with a person without needing a reason or expecting something back...but of course...it is not so easy for human to always wanting to love someone that way...especially when we are in the midst of obstacles and problems...we often hope that someone would come and love us back and give us comfort....yah!
yet...another fun thing is this!....my brother decided to bring me go shopping...and i fell in love with two pairs of VINCCI shoes...one lacy one..and another boots! so i was asking him if i could buy two with the extra money dad gave me...and he decided to bless me with one of it!...ahhhhhhhhhh...and the whole night i was feeling so happy and chirppy with the new pairSSSS of heels i have...hee...yay!...if only i have already bought rechargeable batteries for my camera i would show you the shoes...but i think i saw someone in church wearing my pair of boots before...ahaha....hrmmm
i guess thats it for now....there are more to come when i get my internet back...till then...thats just it...and i can't wait to go shopping...anyone free...feel free to let me know! only this week ya?...next week assignment and exams starts again....phew! toodles~
