it's hard finding a picture of Jesus that best illustrates Him. and that's the nicest I've seen on google.
sigh. I'm really tired. and it's one of those periods when I feel like bawling.

it's 12.34am but I thought tonight's quiet time is worth more than precious sleep.
this goes to friends who are lost in vast consumerism.
tonight's focus is on Luke 12:13-21 (pls make your ref.), "The Parable of the Rich Fool".
in a nutshell, Jesus tells us that no matter how much we possess, when God demands us to part with this world, we will leave with NOTHING. (yes yes. tell me something that I dont alrdy know!)
BUT, little did I know how much emphasis God puts into "a man's relationship with his possessions".
FUN FACT:
- half the parables in the bible focus on the issue of money!
- in matthew's gospel alone, Jesus talked about money close to 100 times!
- and in the new testiment, there are over 1000 references to a person's relationship with his possessions!
INSIGHTFUL eh?
now, I refered to Matthew 25:14-30, about Judas Escariot's betrayal of Jesus for "30 silvers". it was these verses that made me realise that Jesus died because one man chose money over Him! that struck a chord.
indeed, money does satisfy most of my desires and needs. look at my wishlist and you'd know. but I asked myself, "who gave me the money to satisfy my desires and needs?" and the answer that came to mind was, "God". I believe now, that money alone cannot satisfy me.
then I prayed,
"Father God, help me to choose Love over Money." because God's Love, brought Jesus back to Life but Judas' greed paved the way to his death.
"The blessing of the Lord brings wealth, and he adds no trouble to it." - Proverbs 10:22
<3 goodnight.

Verse 1:
All day
Staring at the ceiling
Making friends with shadows on my wall
All night
Hearing voices telling me
That I should get some sleep
Because tomorrow might be good for something
Hold on
I'm feeling like I'm headed for a
Breakdown
I don't know why
Chorus:
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know, right now you can't tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired
I know, right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be
Verse 2:
Me
Talking to myself in public
Dodging glances on the train
I know
I know they've all been talking 'bout me
I can hear them whisper
And it makes me think there must be something wrong
With me
Out of all the hours thinking
Somehow
I've lost my mind
I been talking in my sleep
Pretty soon they'll come to get me
Yeah, they're taking me away
ho. how apt are the lines in italics. well, at least I dont feel far away from daddy God now. at least I've got the God of all creations to give me comfort and strength through this 1.5 months. I know I've been through quite a rough patch lately and it may have seemed I'm out of control, but it's really ok. I can do this on my own with God.
and people like my mum should just shut her gap before she drives me back into depression.

friendster's so yesterday.
and on that note, I was browsing some old faces that I saw in my dreams on sunday. our hatred and my fears still lingers in this place. a haunting memory.
she was trying to kill me!
can anyone explain why are my dreams of her far more vivid than reality? as if she knows what has gone wrong, so she comes back. witch! could be black magic, no?
someone's trying to kill me.
although A's just around the corner and it is an "intellectual death", no, I dont really wanna die.
leave me alone. and I wish you well. if it's about a boy, you'll survive.
