Information

Unhappiness in relationships, according to Dr. Gary Chapman, is often due to the fact that we speak different love languages. Sometimes we don't understand our partner's requirements, or even our own. We all have a "love tank" that needs to be filled in order for us to express love to others, but there are different means by which our tank can be filled, and there are different ways that we can express love to others.

Seems like I've changed so much in the past year. I used to be big on Acts of Service & Words of Affirmation. Speaks volumes about the past year being one of extreme upheaval. I'm determined to stay my course in spite of all the rocks and boulders flung my way.

So many people to worry about but God always reminds me to let Him do the worrying and I just live my life the way He planned for it to be.

My IQ's supposedly above average though my EQ seems (to me) to be that of an unformed foetus. Religion versus relationship. IQ versus EQ. Oh boy...

#33 You Live

The Devil is in the details.

Sorry just an interesting pun I thought of.

The Devil is in (ignoring) the details.

Bet you missed that one.

'Cos there's fine print for living in sin. It says lifetime in hell.

Hell no man.

#32 God...

I feel so overwhelmed with Your provision. My portion You have freely given me. I am not worthy of what You have given. I'm so so sorry for being an unworthy child. I've always thought I never could go anywhere. You showed me how terribly wrong I was and how far You could bring me singlehandedly. I have lost many skirmishes but still You brought me back. In my weakness You have been made strong. In front of my classmates I am a mouse, but yet You still provide for me richly. I have made promises I have failed to keep, still You keep Yours. I don't know how to thank You or to exalt You further but from now on...

From this very moment I pledge to do my best in RP and for RP, let nothing stop me from achieving what You have set out for me. I thought I was a loser; indeed I am, for You are the greatest champion; champion of the weak.

I am lost for words. I had originally intended to update my daily walk with the RP people and my meet up with my secondary school friends.

Truly both were memorable. But You used a vessel that I had thought unlikely to bring me Your Grace. God, You are mighty. I will praise Your name, worship at Your throne.

God I want to be used by You mightily. Thank God for the unlikely vessel; may You work powerfully in the vessel too.

God. Lost for words.

#31 Early Morning Post

On the first day of school, before heading down to the "beloved" campus.

Because granny is starting to learn to quit smoking.

She's almost 90. Which reminds me. It's never too old mend your ways, change different, seek a different life.

After all, we know life isn't just about earth. *winks*

And there's something that's been on my mind.

I don't want to be a distraction or disturbance. I want to be an encouragement.

That's all.

#30 Good Start. Great God.

God has indeed blessed me much. It has been a good start from a great God.

I say this because of the immense pressure that has mounted upon my soul. Great trials, great rewards.

And I see a time of great struggle, just as in year 2007, with one difference. Start well end well.

Yesterday night was a tough night when doubts bombarded my mind. But Stephen reminded me of something; Leave the skeletons of the past in the past, bring the heart after God into 2008.

And reading A Purpose Driven Life recharged my spiritual batteries in the inner battle in my heart.

Fighting a war of doubts, its easy to be discouraged and beat myself to pieces spiritually. But to know,

Most amazing, God decided how you would be born. Regardless of the circumstances of your birth or who your parents are, God had a plan in creating you. It doesn't matter whether your parents were good, bad, or indifferent. God knew that those two individuals possessed exactly the right genetic makeup to create the custom "you" he had in mind. They had the DNA God wanted to make you.

While there are illegitimate parents, there are no illegitimate children. Many children are unplanned by their parents, but they are not unplanned by God. God's purpose took into account human error, and even sin.

Knowing that kicks serious butt.
