tomorrow, i go back to the hospital for a follow-up on the fractured arm. i get to wash that part of my arm finally, YAY. i will never take cleanliness for granted again, i tell you.
when God cursed the ground after adam and eve fell to sin and made it such that Man had to work hard for a living, was it just the physical toiling? i doubt it; i think He also meant for relationships between people to be tiring. Problems in relationships arise from the sinfulness in Man after all.
It is sad that parents will always love their children more than the children their parents. no matter how much we remind ourselves to honour, respect and love our parents, we still forget so often, don't we? we think we know better, we find them irritating, we sadden them. and then it comes back in full circle when we become parents ourselves.
it is depressing that we lose contact with people all the time. no matter how much we long to stay in touch, no matter how much we desire to keep in contact, it is just not humanly possible to keep in touch with everyone we were close to once upon a good time, much less everyone we know. this used to get me down quite a bit; i used to feel really lousy when i realise how out of date i am with someone's life, esp if i used to be close to that someone. but i have accepted that this is part and parcel of life, i should live in the present, not in the past. friends who make an effort to keep in contact, i am eternally grateful for, and i treasure you guys alot(: friends who have reciprocated my efforts to keep in contact, thank you(: you helped keep my hopes alive.
thankyou Father for Your faithfulness in keeping CERC for the past 20 years. indeed, to You alone be all the glory.
yet again, i am reminded how precious my church friends are - there is really nothing that can replace life-long (in the most literal sense of the word) friendships, grounded in the same Christian faith that we hold dearly to, focused on the same God that we love. will things ever be the same again, can they get better? i pray, for the sake of all of us, they will.
MAF was good, it was. maybe i expected too much, but i'm glad i had the opportunity to catch up with so many sevenfivers, to see everyone at the all-so-familiar class bench(: light-up was good. i think this year's was exceptionally impressive (:
i really need to stop being so lazy and start working really hard. too many muggers. they are all freaking me out =x who goes back to school on sunday to mug! it's not even for exams good grief. who finishes their first draft for closed memo one WEEK in advance?
