There are moments in our lives we find ourselves at crossroads.
.There are moments in our lives when we find ourselves at a crossroads.
The choices we make in those moments can define the rest of our days. And..of course, when faced with the unknown, most of us prefer to turn around and go back.
There are moments in our lives when we find ourselves at a crossroads.
But..once in a while, people push onto something better. Something found just beyond the pain of going it alone. And just beyond the bravery and courage it takes to let someone in. Something beyond the quiet persistence of a dream.
Because, it's only when you're tested that you truly discover who you are.
And, it's only when you're tested that you discover who you can be.
The person you want to be does exist; and somewhere on the other side of hard work and faith and belief...somewhere beyond the the heartache and fear of what lies ahead.
One of my favourite quotes of all time. I must admit I'm not feeling all that great now (mostly physically because I think I caught a flu bug) and there were a thousand things I wanted to post about when I didn't have the chance to. Now that I do, I can't seem to find the right words.
On a completely non-related note, I have not went to the park near my house, I think I will go tomorrow with Seth and my journal. Posting results will be out tomorrow and yes I am scared. I'd probably either get into IB (aka International Bird, courtesy of Jang) or AC but I'm not sure how I'd feel about getting into either.
I need to sort my thoughts out so I'm going to do this in point form:
1) Last service this week
2) JC event thing right after
3) School's starting
4) Hazel we need to go out next week.
5) Dad's already setting aside money for me to go to Harvard
6) Bye Crescent Cg
7) I am really really proud of them
8) I hope Jo Lee finds her cat
9) Hazel just made me cry because I just read her Xanga
10) I hope all my friends have a nice day tomorrow
To Do List:
1) Start my list of 50 things I love about the Crescent Cg/Central (Blame this idea on my sentimental nature. I always have ideas like this but never follow them through. This time, I will. )
2) Clear my tablet
3) Prepare heart and mind for school
4) Pray
5) Pray
6) Pray
A thought that occurred to me a few days ago: What if everyone went to service every week as if it was their last? I went to service on Saturday thinking that that was my last service with Crescent/CentralC/Central. I wanted so much to record every silly joke that was made, somehow capture the excitement that Crescent has during praise or the fellowship over our sushi lunch. I really believe photographs or videos would never do any of it justice.
Then a few days after that I learnt that this week will be the last service before we immediately join the JC group after. And I really wondered how different each week would be if every single Saturday we went to Nexus praising and worshipping and fellowshipping as if it was our last. I know this is the same concept as 'Live each day as if it was your last' but it just makes a whole lot of sense to me.
Doesn't it?
