haha i am simply amazed at the way the Lord teaches me lessons. hard lessons to learn nonetheless, but good lessons. (: there are so many times when i choose relaxing or having fun over diligently studying His Word and i do need many MANY knocks to be reminded that all i need to get through life is right in front of me, and many times i choose to turn away. remember, im human and humans forget- so remind me, remind me dear Lord

haha the make-up during the easter concert was a very trying time for me. haha elena and her little friend came up to ask me "are you a CAT?" and i was like "im not a cat!!!!" haha but they were so cute they kept smiling at me whilst i was singing but t leelee is convinced i have a little "pest" tailing me cos she keeps tapping me on the shoulder and going "MEOWWW" haha but i really think its funny so AH WELL pastor says no complaining just find joy and be thankful!

i've been reading acts and the psalms, and haha i realised the Bible has pretty exciting stories! heh like how paul got "shipwrecked" and how he said in acts27:31 "paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, 'unless these men stay in the ship, you cannot be saved.'" haha i think it sounds like some cool fantasy story but hey our God is great! and very good ;)

but what stood out to me the most from acts was acts21:13, paul's response after the prophet agabus prophesised that paul would suffer and be delivered into the hands of the gentiles if he should go to jerusalem. with all his followers pleading with him not to go he said "what do you mean by weeping and breaking my heart? for i am ready not only to be bound, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus."

when i read that i just thought, WOW. what great faith. founded on the chief cornerstone, the foundation that cannot be shaken, Christ. and i WANT to have that great faith. pastor mitch said i have to stop telling myself im too weak and i cant do it- i have to trust that HE can do it, and He WILL. if i do my part, and let Him.

here's my heart, o take and seal it, seal it for Thy courts above. (:
