A random post on a God-given monday morning. =)

I am typing this whilst attempting to listen to a sermon about redeeming the marketplace. =) The sermon's making a lot of sense now...

But haha, i've this already-in-built habit of trying to maximise time (in one way or another). That's the nice way of putting things... an alternate way to express what i'm doing, is just that my brain wanders off a little so i'd just do two things i would be doing anyway simountaneously. =)

So whilst i listen to being-a-christian-starts-on-monday, i was thinking about yesterdays's ex-cell reunion.

Haha it was hilarious. I mean, bits of it. Some parts of it were more serious and no joke.

Um belonging to the category of serious stuffs... Sarah asked me a random question about how i got into YM comm, and really i don't know how. Haha! Hm. But i do hope i'm really being (or trying to be) a good overseer though. And wells other confidential stuffs.

Belonging to the hilarious side, yucks i dont like the chicky smell on my hands! Haha. I mean, i'm fine with marinating chicken and stretching them and all, but please gimme hand soap. Ahhh! Haha actually if you knew me really well, you would know that i'm not a very cleannn kinda person with an obsesssion with keeping myself fresh and nice, but i have a fascination with nice smelling hands. It goes back a long way to some interesting encounter... haha i won't talk about it here though in case anybody laughs at me for thinking that way, but suffice to say that i prefer not to raise my physically dirty-smelling hands to the Lord. =) Oh another thing under the 'hilarious' category, the Gatsby advertisement. Due to Coral's ingenuity, the already-funny-to-start-with advertisement has an added dimension to it. Haha. I would certainly laugh at this in a few years' time when i look back at all these times.

Hee i'm going to hop to SMU in a while's time, and i'll be hopping somewhere else to shop after the orientation thingy (talk about maximising time. =)).

But hee, let me just remind myself that i'm in this season of stretching myself... simply because God answered my prayer that hey-i-should-be-doing-more-than-this-in-my-life. Haha. So cute eh. There are some prayers that God would definetly be super glad to answer and can answer with more immediacy than others.

All in all, i praise the Lord for all the blessings that He has given me. *Muacks* to God! =)

You raise me up. =)

I was supposed to listen to a sermon on my computer because i wanted to charge my mp3 player and didn't want to waste the battery from there.

I went to download the sermon... and whilst waiting for the sermon to be loaded, the kapo-ness in me caught up and i went to peep at people's blogs. Haha.

After reading a few blogs, well, i figured out all our minds are filled with different things and it seems as though we live in different dimensions but we do live in this same world, just that "our own world" is different.

Haha. That's just a random reflection of what i fill up my mind with.

Well i went for a sleepover with fang xian, winnie, xiuyu and huikoon on mon-tue night. Something really good came out of watching white chicks, the sam-soon thing and snacking and looking at fang xian's photos. We talked about some 'stuffs', probably the usual things girls would talk about at sleepovers? Haha then again, we're a peculiar bunch of people.

Ok so the main point for myself is... i figured i gotta breakthrough out of my current spiritual level.

Now i've got some kind of a deep respect for people who stick to their christian values strongly, people who hear from God, people who get revelations/visions from God just like that.

What have i become after 2 years and 4 months of walking with God?

I'm not contented.

There has to be something more out of my life than what it is now.

There must be a higher calling than to merely survive society by scoring good grades in uni and then going off to have a good job, get married and have kids, retiring afterwards and living by the accumulated CPF money.

If i'm greedy, i would say i must have a higher calling than just helping lizzy lead my cell like that... i can and should be a better cell overseer than i am now.

Flashbacks to last weekend about Pastor Mark and Pastor Jonathan's sermons.

There must be something more.

And i got to break through to reach that amount of God's blessings, to get heard from heaven.

I haven't been to the movies for a considerably long time, i don't know about the latest fashion, i can't tell the actors and actresses apart from one another, i'm not even half as exciting as other people...

But i think for this season of my life, i don't mind being boring... i don't mind being homogenous... If i'm bad at multi-tasking and i can only concentrate on one part of my life, this has to be it.

I'm just going to fill up my mind with the purposes of God.

You raise me up. =)
