You have to be pretty convinced of what you're doing, if not, there are many, many reasons for not doing it. You really have to be brave. And really, the bravery comes from the conviction. If you're absolutely sure that this is what you want to do, and it is meaningful to you, then you just assume that it is going to take time.

Sometimes I really wonder, is my mindset actually a bad thing? People around me always say things like we can't get anything out of our education system and such, and in some ways I do agree that paperchasing is ultimately something I don't want to (one of the top 5 deathbed regrets is working too hard, another is not chasing one's dreams). But ( Read more... )

Mr Ong met my mom and I today, for PMT (Parents-Meet-Teacher) session ( Read more... )

I remember our sharing during that SFC meeting - so many of us wanted to be missionaries. I wasn't one of them. I eventually just want to be a loving wife and mother. (Nevertheless a working mother, but that's beside the point.)

It's odd, I wasn't even really thinking about it when I came across this article in Boundless (yes, the webzine again, ( Read more... )

Receiving my 'good' results didn't make me as happy as I expected it to be. I think in general, because of my lack of worry over results (I never really see the need to, cause it comes when it comes and God has everything in His hands anyway), it's caused me to be rather numb whenever I have to get results back. It was this way getting back 'O' ( Read more... )

Kel fumbled her glaive back into its socket. The buzzing of the flies gave her the shudders. "Place him with her, please," she replied. "We-- we haven't time to bury them, but at least they can be together."

"Aye, lady knight," replied Jacut. He and Uinse took the dead man back and laid him gently beside his wife, then bowed their heads. Kel bowed ( Read more... )

I really have to thank God for my friends. Community honestly is so important. Just as long as we don't mix time fellowshipping with time alone with God. I've been feeling very far from God, not doing my quiet time and kind of not involving God with my life (although yes He's always there). Today helped me with that feeling. During worship, I can't ( Read more... )

I prayed for God to do a miracle in my life today during a peaceful time of quiet while the rest of the school was still more or less deserted. Although what I'd been through today isn't what I'd call a miracle, but it has really made feel so blessed. I've learnt a lot more about Ms Chua that makes me respect her all the more, too ( Read more... )

Sorry for the lack of posts, and I'd realised that I also haven't been listening to gospel music in a really long time.

Daddy, can you hear me? I miss You.

3 days to council out-vestiture. 1 April 2008. No matter how much of a joke it might seem to you, it isn't to me. It isn't, to us ( Read more... )

Passion and Purity
Elisabeth ElliotI am convinced that the human heart hungers for constancy. In forfeiting the sanctity of sex by casual, nondiscriminatory "making out" and "sleeping around", we forfeit something we cannot well do without. There is dullness, monotony, sheer boredom in all of life when virginity and purity are no longer protected ( Read more... )
