A time to plant, And a time to pluck what is planted;
A time to kill, And a time to heal;
A time to break down, And a time to build up;
A time to weep, And a time to laugh;
A time to mourn, And a time to dance;
A time to cast away stones, And a time to gather stones;
A time to embrace, And a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to gain, And a time to lose;
A time to keep, And a time to throw away;
A time to tear, And a time to sew;
A time to keep silence, And a time to speak;
A time to love, And a time to hate;
A time of war, And a time of peace....
I know that whatever God does, It shall be forever. Nothing can be added to it, And nothing taken from it. God does it, that men should fear before Him." (Ecclesiastes 3:1-8,14)

on a random note, SEE TY, I TOLD YOU TO WEAR A WHITE SHIRT. xP. white shirt. dark coloured tie. classic ftw xD.
sat with mike in the croom today to attempt to study. ARGHH. did my part for BGS, had to google i dont know how many articles once more. but at least i've whacked it.
and tried doing FA. did a few questions, but was really feeling so exhausted ):
dinner with a senior. and i'm so crap at giving "love advice" xP.
"does she like you?" "yes she does." "THEN YOU WAITING FOR WHAT?! ASK HER TO BE YOUR GIRLFRIEND, i mean, *coughcough* how about praying about it?"
xD first prize. ahahaha.
had a good time sharing/praying for/being encouraged by. thanks (X
long, long day tomorrow. keep me and my financial accounting and BGS group in prayer as we meet tomorrow please!! need lots of wisdom and strength for the 2 papers. RARRRR.
during worship today (which mike led!(X ) i took a good look back at the past 13 weeks of my SMU life. wow. what a rollercoaster, and HOW He's been holding my hand and heart through it all.
He's really really blessed me with just so much. and even in the tough (crazy, and even heartbreaking) times, He's seen me through. and proved faithful when i was faithless.
today was a great day! (: lunch with mike, chloe and ty at plaza sing. flipped through magazines for a good half hour at Times bookstore with them (hehehe). wrote "appreciation" cards for crusade friends/seniors. and went for Jump! (:
was super happy to see sister eeleen!! XDD. giggling and teasing her aside, we took some time to share/encourage/pray for each other. am always super encouraged by the stuff she says (: realised today how much i miss and love her, rarrrr.
as it was "appreciation day" for Jump, we had to go around well, appreciating people. and i realised i'm actually quite shy to say. (#.#) as in.. really lor. xP. i know i have the tendency to be overcome with emotion and start sniffling in gratitude. hahaha.
but yes! i really thank God for godly friends and seniors, who demonstrate SUCH inspiring Christ-like love in everything. in the loving way they relate to other christians and non-christians. and how their hearts are always so sold out for God. their quickness to want to pray for you, to find ways they can bless you and help you.
so much to learn from them! rarrrrr!
on a different note, claire and i thank michael for sharing your starbucks voucher with us today. hehehe. java chip and muffin ftw. xDD and thanks ty for the treat too, i really appreciate! (((:
and to end off my day, my cell member clifford just called to say that the verse i sent was encouraging. which was exactly what God knew i needed to hear. been sending out sms verses of late, and started wondering if it was really Spirit-led, and if they were speaking life into people. so yeahh.. guess God's kinda saying "yes they are la. relax. xP"
taking a jog with my dog and sis was SO not a "walk in the park". (and yes, i actually "tried" jogging. xP) and it was traumatic to say the least!
sis and i found it strange that my dog kept on sitting down and refusing to move after a while. and we started getting freaked out when my dog tugged on the leash very hard, and wanted to dash onto the busy road!
it was only after my sis started carrying the dog and we wanted to head home that we realised what was wrong.
MY DOG HAD ANTS ALL OVER HIM, AHHHH!!!!
i never saw such true love. my sister refused to put him back down on the floor although i was screaming "put him down!! you're getting bitten!! PUT HIM DOWN!!" and she said "NOO!! what if he gets more ants! what if he tries to dash across the road!"
we tried to kill some ants by pouring a bottle of water on him, but it wasn't working. and she only let him go when i said "fine! i'll carry him!"
and as i carried and walked (and yes, got bitten a few times by those bugger ants) she kept on patting the dog the whole way and holding his paw to comfort him.
as my dog is REALLY fat, we had to take turns carrying him. great for biceps building. our arms still ache till now. xP.
for the last part on the way home, she SPRINTED carrying him in her arms, cause he was itching all over, and she didn't want him to suffer any longer.
looking at that, i mean, mans. such love.
i guess it really reminded me, funnily enough, of God's love for us. the whole "NOOO, i'm NOT GOING TO LET YOU GO!!!" and doing WHATEVER it takes, even if it hurts Him, to get us home. so we can be okay.
the strangest thing is? my sister ran into the house first, tugging on the dog's leash to get him into the shower quick! but he paused several times, wanting to make sure i was going into the house too, and that i was okay.
as i type this, i know i'm going to sound crazy, but i'm tearing. that my dog should care so much for ME, when i was (obviously) more worried about my sister's arms than about him.
i guess its kinda like how much God really loves me? and i completely don't deserve His love. i don't "deserve it" cause i didn't love Him that much by either my actions/words/thoughts. but it doesn't matter what i've done, His heart is REALLY FOR me. no matter what.
hahaha. crazy, i know.
anyway, i'm really excited for tomorrow cause sister eeleen's coming to crusade!! (: to kinda explain about the worship module for Meta 2009 (our crusade camp at the end of this year! xD)
