LOL five tipsy to get a small stomach -.-

i just seem to get too hyped up in the moment and say/do stupid crazy things. thinking it would give me happiness, acceptance and joy. wth.

life life life. what is life all about? the people that you hang out with... this that whatever. i dont really know what my life is all about right now. i seem to be going in the wrong direction.. focusing on many temporary things. and NOT permanent joys. trying to befriend everyone, is that REALLY necessary. everything takes damn time... why cant i just let everything flow naturally by itself? why must i rush into things and try to be someone that im not? why is itthat the more people i know, the more i get distracted?? i hate this. this sucks... i feel damn bloody obligated pls.  :(

i realised, that it could be becos i havent been keeping in touch with God lately. ive been living TOO MUCH in the people and situation around me, such that i sometimes live by MY THOUGHTS, not knowing what i really am doing. it sux lar. when at the end of theday, i really wonder what i have achieved. more friends? fake friends? i dont know. i havent eben going by my heart lately. and i dont liek it at all. yucks. i wanna be carefree again. not caring so much not thinking so much, just being myself., and living happy by that. amen.

whats the effing difference between improving my drawing skills and imporving myself ont he whole. sounds like they are on the same scale, but actually, not really at all. one is the skills, on the outside outside, the other, inside. and yeah. myself in general. if i were solomon, i would write this too. LOL
and i feel like pennign down my thoughts now...

will seem weird to some, especially those who arent believers. but yeah. there will come a day where youll understand what this post means. truly :) be patient :)
hahaha.
ok lar. fine.

i seek love, form people. it doesnt last , not at all.
i seek acceptance from people with what i do, it only turns me further away form my true self..
i try ot be different to be accepted. it only makes me feel emptier.
i listen to my thoughts, i only get ruined in the end.
i focus on my work, hoping it would distract me from my thoughts, it does, but the main problem still lays there untouched at the end of the day.
my life aint balanced now. and my body is showing signs of that
warnings perhaps?
that my life aint in order rite now.
its proper to keep my life in line with God.
it will only SET ME FREE.

going to school everyday, surrounded by imperfect and worldly people. all the more i need you Jesus. i need to know you are THERE, ABBA FATHER.
no, im not gonna elude again. im gonna face it, face my deepest fears. foolow my plans. know where im heading.
like Pastor said, im in the world, but NOT OF THE WORLD. people, accpet me as i am if you wish to.
im a beloved chid of God and thats that. im not gonna ever deny my Abba Father in fear again. amen.

life, seems all the more weirder now that ive got two new friends .
i dont know, but it seems different, singaporean friends? hmm.
anyways, i havent been my best lately. craving for stupid coolness, craving for attention, wteff. i dont like it at all. i wanna be independent and free. and not need all these stuffs. they are there, yes. but why would i even want them? il use them, but NOT NEED THEM.
and thinking i would get more friends by wearing more casually, like wtf?
no way man. all the more il start to wear WHAT I LIKE, AGAIN. YES.

i dont care whether ul like me or not, whether ul wannabe my friend, or judge me based on what i wear, thats childish. i only wanna stick to my proper state of mind and live with that and not resort to tings i think will make life better. esp. material things. which wont give me lifeitme happiness and joy. i miss God. i miss having a close close close close close relationship with Him. i miss Jesus. i miss talking to him everyday and feeling at peace, and knowing where i stood with him. and not losing my direction at any point or feeling lost at all. hanging out more with the world only means i need Jesus MORE. or else i may end up blending in with the world, and start craving for their things again.

not caring what others do, say whatever. wow. thats a challenge. but i WILL overcome this and emerge victorious in the end. everyday il have to reflect on my daily events and start to pull myself back together AGAIN. no more feelings of confusion or lasting emo. yes.

Writer's Block: God For a Day

If you could be God for a day, what three things would be at the top of your to-do list?

hah.. i would seriously reformate the world, brainwash all the mean people to make them good, all the paranoid people to make them less paranoid, to destroy the devils of the world once and for all, so that the world would be such a better place to live in from then on.

Id HATE to dwell in my lack, to dwell in my probs, and seeing the doc (psychologist) does not really help anything i would say. going to church would i know... and id better stop giving myself excuses to exempt from it anymore... not connecting well with God, focusing too much on the world really does not make me a happier or more focused person.. im turning "blind" again, seriously, i havent been following my heart AT ALL. Im sick and tired of leading sucha lies-believing life!

oh man. actually, im not very tired of life.. im beginning to love it, but i just feel like having a totally different perspective of things again... And sticking to it hopefully, for life...

Ive been believing so many lies i just couldnt focus on what i wanted to do, really... doing my presentation was ARGH. but i guess everything should be a blessing in disguise after all... i need to go back to my Church collated notes and reflect, learn from scratch, and review what i REALLY NEED to do ... to stop imagining things... to be happy :D

God... i need you... i need your guidance... i dont wanna focus ont he bad or negative things... life is short.. i wanna make full use of it and focus on the happy thigns.. i dont wanna be like other people, i dont wanna be a people pleaser. i wanna be FREE and do what i wanna do, and yet stay close to God's promises and guidance! i m soooo gonna be stricter with myself already lah. ok gotta go now. Dad;s here., BYE! :)

Be Filled With The Holy Spirit: Answers

Correct answers to each question are in bold

Listening to Jesus begins when you asked Jesus Christ to come into your life, He came in the form of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit gives you comfort, direction, instruction and correction when you sin. The Holy Spirit also helps change your heart and mind to be like Jesus. This process can be either slow or fast, depending on how much you allow Him to control you. Some people are afraid for someone else to control their life even if it is God. Don’t worry, God will never become a dictator to you! He loves you, and wants your relationship with Him to be motivated by love, not fear or force. As you give Him freedom to work in more and more areas of your life, you will notice these things flowing from you: “Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.” (Galatians 5:22, 23). Wouldn’t you agree that we could all use a little more of those qualities? In this study we will see what the Bible says about how we can be “filled” (which means “controlled and filled with power”) by the Holy Spirit, so we can become more like Jesus Christ in our thoughts, words, actions and reactions.

Scriptures
Romans 8:9 “You, however, are controlled not by the sinful nature but by the Spirit, if the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ.” Ephesians 5:18 “Do not get drunk on wine. Instead, be filled with the Spirit.”

1 John 5:14-15 “This is the promise we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us whatever we ask we know that we have what we asked of him.””

1. Notice how in Romans 8:9 "the Spirit of God" and "the Spirit of Christ" are used to mean the same thing. This verse says that if a person does not belong to Christ, he does not have the Spirit. Conversely, we can figure out that if a person does belong to Christ, what does he also have?

a) Great intelligence.
b) Financial insight.
C) The Spirit of God.

 

2. From this verse we can see that the normal life for a Christian is . . .

a) To be controlled by his sinful nature.
b) To do anything he wants to do.
c) To never make any mistakes.
D) To be controlled by the Holy Spirit.

 

3. In Ephesians 5:18 we are given two commands, one negative and one positive. The negative one is "Do not get drunk on wine." When we do, the alcohol controls us it often makes us do things that we later regret, and would never have done if we had stayed sober. So instead, what is the positive command we are given?

A) Be filled (controlled and powered) with the Spirit.
b) Drink only in moderation.
c) Avoid sin.

 

When the Holy Spirit is controlling us, we also end up doing things that we may not normally do, but these are always good things that we never regret, such as loving the unlovely, forgiving those who hurt us, returning good for bad, being generous with our time and money, etc.

4. Since we are commanded to be filled with the Spirit, it's clear that it's not automatic we have the option to obey or disobey. Just because a person becomes a Christian doesn't mean that he'll be controlled by the Holy Spirit at all times. Sometimes the Holy Spirit is helping us because we've asked Him to. But sometimes we allow other things to control us: our sinful nature, our environment, our ambitions, etc. In 1 John 5:14,15 we learn something important about prayer and the will of God: if we ask for something that we know is definitely in line with His will, what can we expect?

a) He'll think about it.
b) If we live a perfect and holy life, all our wishes will be granted.
c) God answers prayer sometimes according to how He feels at that moment.
D) He hears our request and He will give us what we asked for.

 

5. So, if we ask God to fill us with His Holy Spirit, how do we know that He will grant that request immediately?

a) We don't know He may or He may not.
B) Since He commanded us to be filled, it must be according to his will; and if it's according to His will, 1 John 5:14,15 says it will be granted.
c) Because it's worked for other people before.
d) Because He should always answer my prayers the way I want.

 

Summary

God will control and fill a Christian with power through the Holy Spirit only when we ask Him to. Many other influences in this world are trying to control us, but when we allow the Spirit to, it benefits us, those around us, and helps us to become more like Jesus Christ. If you would like to ask the Holy Spirit to fill you right now, here is a suggested prayer:

Dear Father, I need You. I hunger and thirst for Your goodness. I want You to be my Master and my Guide. But I confess that I have made many wrong choices in my life even since becoming a Christian. I’m sorry for those choices, and ask for Your forgiveness. I give myself to You in obedience and love, because I want to serve You rather than myself. I ask You to fill me with Your Holy Spirit. I give You control of my life and I have faith and confidence that You will guide me perfectly. Thank You for hearing my prayer, and for granting my request. Amen. Any time you feel that you have taken control of your life back from God, pray a prayer similar to the one above. You may have to do this monthly, weekly, daily, hourly any time! The point is, don’t get discouraged and give up. It may be hard for a while, but soon you will feel God working in your life.

The Bible, a book of LIFE :)

The Bible: Correct Answers

Correct Answers are in bold:

Lots of people think of the Bible as just another self-help book—filled with helpful ideas, good stories and interesting history. The Bible is the most unique book of all history! It is the only book that is completely inspired by God Himself and contains His living words. God wants to speak to you, and the easiest way He will do it is through reading the Bible. Did you know that everything in life is a result of God’s word? The world was created by His word; you are saved by hearing and believing His word; and you grow into a stronger Christian by obeying His word. If you start early in your Christian journey reading, thinking about, and obeying the Bible, you lay a firm foundation for the rest of your life—one where you will receive direction, become wise, be made successful, and lead others to Christ. You don’t have to go through life hoping and guessing; you can know the truth and grow by God’s word!

Scripture II Timothy 3:16-17 - “All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every good work.”

Psalm 19:7-8 - “The law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple; the commandments of the LORD are right, bringing joy to the heart; the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening eyes.”

Joshua 1:8 - “This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.”

I Peter 2:2 - “As newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word that you may grow thereby.”

Romans 10:17 - “So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”

Matthew 4:3-4 - “Now when the tempter came to Him, he said, ‘If you are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.’ But He answered and said, ‘It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God’.”

Questions

1) What does II Timothy 3:16 say the Bible is?

a) good ideas gathered over the ages
b) a collection of stories that contain a moral
C) the words of God to make us stronger Christians
d) a historical account of the Jews

2) In Psalm 19, what are some of the effects of the Bible?

a) nothing—its just a good thing to do
B) progress, wisdom, joy, and understanding
c) guilt from trying to follow rules and regulations
d) some helpful ideas, but not much else

3) In Joshua, what does it say you need to do with the Bible to have success?

a) leave it on the shelf
b) look through it when life gets hard
C) read, think upon, and obey it every day
d) know basically what it says

4) Newborn babies need milk to be healthy and to grow. What is the milk spoken about in I Peter 2:2 that helps the new Christian to grow?

a) living right and not doing bad things
b) being around Christian friends
C) reading the Bible
d) we don’t play a role in our growth—its God’s job

 

5) If you feel like you don’t have much faith, what does Romans 10:17 say can cause it to grow?

a) it can’t grow—some people just have more faith than others, and that’s that
b) by reading inspirational stories
C) by hearing (and reading) God’s word
d) by hoping and waiting for it to someday increase

 

6) From Jesus’ interaction with Satan in Matthew 4, what is the right way to deal with temptation?

a) think about it for a while and reason your way through it
b) be afraid that the temptation is going to be too powerful for you and overtake you
c) just be strong enough to get through it
D) speak the word of God that applies to your temptation

 

Summary You can begin hearing from God today as you read the Bible. As a new or young Christian, you can start by reading the New Testament or you can begin at the beginning, in Genesis. The more you read the Bible, the more you will hear from God, grow as a Christian, and help bring others to Christ!

OHOHOHOHOHOH

AND I WANNA POST SOMETHIN!!!

:)

I FOUND MY NOTEBOOK BACKKKKKKKKKKKK!

this incident has reallie been a blessing in disguise for me, i have seen who were my nice friends and stuff liek that, ive learnt to see the positive side of things better, and to not worry so much, to not deem all possessed materials as too important in my life. to not depend on outward materials. but just on God again., :)

people arent that mean afterall. theyre just perhaps people who have to try to deal with their own negative views about other people!

and they actually WILL help no matter how nasty they LOOK, as LONG AS YOURE WILLING TO OPEN YOUR MOUTH, AND ASK.

no worries about how others may see you, as they have their own reasons for doing so, and whatever negative energy they discharge and emit from themselves and their own actions, its theirs to try to change, and not your/my problem. thats the TRUTH.. and that being said, whoa, dont you feel set free to do the things that you wanna do now, like, ask quesitons that may seem silly to those other empty vessels but yet, will help you to learn about yor work, alot more??

tidbits of wisdom?

i just kopped these messages from ju's tagboard. i like how her dad wrote these posts :

gene: Don't stress on things. it in it self isn't healthy. Just have fun in life. :)
24 Jul 08, 01:13
Dad: One can acquire unlimited courage, wisdom, LIFEFORCE, compassion, etc from the mystic law of the universe. (i still dont get thisssss, damnit)
24 Jul 08, 01:12
Dad: Seek medical treament when one is ill. In addition, every human has the potential to reverse their cells that turned cancerous back to good cell through own immune system.

praise the LORD! this one gives me HOPE about my own condition! :) but il seriously NEED alot of discipline tho. have been lazy at eating healthy foods lately. gotta start readjusting my diet plans.
and lifestyle too. havent been able to brisk walk for up to an hour. gotta eat moderately too.
moderation aka balance is the key ye :)

i gotta work to make my face cramps DISAPPEAR! :) and my eyes less dry, and my face wearing spects, look better. so i can go out confidently wearing spects ONLY. itll seriously give me more freedom and spare time :) and reverse my dry eye condition also? hopefully :)

i look forward and will trust God and work hard, to my new healthy body again, one day. hope it will come soon, with much needed discipline and hard work :)

speaking of which, chao liao, tata :P

the myths and facts of the much feared (by my mother especially) water iintoxication.



It's Not How Much You Drink, It's How Fast You Drink It!

The kidneys of a healthy adult can process fifteen liters of water a day! You are unlikely to suffer from water intoxication, even if you drink a lot of water, as long as you drink over time as opposed to intaking an enormous volume at one time. As a general guideline, most adults need about three quarts of fluid each day. Much of that water comes from food, so 8-12 eight ounce glasses a day is a common recommended intake. You may need more water if the weather is very warm or very dry, if you are exercising, or if you are taking certain medications. The bottom line is this: it's possible to drink too much water, but unless you are running a marathon or an infant, water intoxication is a very uncommon condition. 

thats the bottom line of the entire page i read. 

i hope that people who have been worrying incessantly and unnecessarily about water intoxication, or rather, water-poisoning, to the extent that they drink VERY LITTLE(even as little as they can a day that they end up severly dehydrated) water a day, will start to reaccess their worries and start to learn the TRUTHs that will effectively help to counter their much un-needed fears about something that wouldnt even happen .

as logn as you dont join a "DOWN 10 gallons of water in 2 minutes" competition, or run a marathon and then gulp down 2 litres of water at ONE GO, its perfectly safe and alright to drink up to 9 litres a day, especially for those who exercise regularly and sweat alot, as long as you dont gulp your water down ALL at one go, but spread your drinking out evenly throughout the day, like taking several gulps at once only, yet consuming enough, up to 9 litres, a day.

understand! :)

school has been kinda hectick.

i just realised i lost my notebook :(
and i was really angry and flustered just now...
now im trying to come to terms with the loss of it, and realise that not EVERYTHING is essential to get my life moving FORWARD, and not backwards.. understanding what the teacher says is much much more important than taking it down as notes. altho notes are STILL impt, thats why i hope to find my notebook back :( i promise il cherish it ten times more lol

il just try my best to find it back this time, have written down a list of possible places it could be found at. and IF I STILL CANT FIND IT at the end of the damn good day, il just leave it to God, and see why i had to lose this otebook for. it could just be that i was too clumsy, too careless. that i need to bring less things to school, start to organize my stuff, and make sure i check all my stuff to see that they are aLWAYS where theyre supposed to be, to do things with a purpose and not blindly.

life is short. i dont wanna waste any other time on unimportant things, such as the things i did in the past. its a NEW DAY hence, ITS A NEW LIFE. yeah. my quote. LOL! feel free to take it if you wish to. ahhaha il be vv honoured LOL

okok. nuff of the joking around... not gonna get distracted from my main purpose of life, my main purpose of going to school, NOT to fit IN, but to stand OUT. to have my own Godly style and behaviour, character, to not worry, to be the epitoome of TRUST in God, to be myself and calm at all times, to do what i WANT and WISH to do, and not what i SHOULD, (esp. those acts to try to fit in with classmates etc, trying hard to be accepted-.-) im ALREAYD accepted in CHRIST :) to be CONFIDENT in WHO I AM in CHRIST, my saviour! :) to thin good and positive thoughts always, instead of morrying, which is like a rocking chair, bringing u to NO desitnation -.-

yup
theres a reason f0or everything, a good blessing behind everytyhing, as long as im willng to look at things from a beautiful blessed and good / positive waya nd angle? not taking things so hard, and working hard for what i want to acquire. i am BLESSED. :)
