it feels good to sweat it out..

Mom was talking abt the wake she attended yesterday. showed me the obituary on monday's newspp. n i saw this verse in chinese.

I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.
2 Timothy 4:7

This was the verse that came to my head when I was at miss peh's hse. Somehow, serene n me couldnt think of it off-hand. I don't memorise verses. n tats why i said those things in laymen's terms to miss peh instead.

According to mom, this ger who passed away juz became a christian not long ago. n was baptised 2 wks before. sort of knew she is going away, and told her mom tat she is abit ������, for she is still so young. n even said tins like she knew her mom doesnt like her dog, n asked if she shld take it away with her too. hai.. it hurts to hear tins like tat. of coz, the tin to rejoice is, she accepted the Lord. no matter how late.

I pray for good health for all the loved ones ard me.

i reali don mean to oni blog abt sad n unhappie tins. but its reali these tins in my head tat make me wanna blog them down. nt tat this can help vent any of the frustrations building up inside me. but its the mere action of letting ppl know hw i feel. coz like wat shan n moo said, i look ok when im out there. coz i don think or complain abt work after working hours! or rather, i juz don wan to spoil my mood. its weekend aniwae, but couldnt reali feel it.

not much plans this wkend. hope i can get enuff rest n peace at home dan.

im havin a headache now due to the ultra-glaring sun this morning. quite a hectic morning running ard the airfreight terminals. one interesting fact i learnt is that my client weighs 84kg when he stood on the weighing scale for goods. i almost got tricked into stepping onto the scale. phew. another tin is this other client is reali quite shuai. n kind enuff to send me back to my office. n he's cute despite the hoarse voice. wahaha

topic over lunch was quite heavy. n wierd. its good to share ur personal testimony for your faith to the ppl in the workplace. i mean, thats the reason why God places you in this particular organisation. to reach out to the others. i don mean to judge. n don intend to. but u gonna practise what u preach. it takes alot of faith n courage to say it out. and lots more effort to walk the talk. well well...

somehow, the friday syndrome is slowing setting in. weekend mood in advance though i hav tons of stuff waiting for me to do! n the mind's craving for some alcoholic relief! or this might be a booze-free wkend afterall...

this is indeed, a very sad day.. no, not becoz i didnt enjoy myself this weekend.the 3 bdae celebrations were great.

fri nite @ ktv for rw's bdae-in-adv. met jay's gf for the first time.

sat nite @ westin, had nice korean dinner @ a restaurant near purvis street..bot some wine n mixer n chips. i cant help bingeing on food all nite long. chatted a little .. as usual, nothing much to update..

woke n shopped a little b4 heading down to miss peh's hse. it was quite a huge grp of us..the sec 4/2 ppl. i mean, who wont turn up if they hear that she's like 'not gg to make it soon'. with a rather heavy heart, we wrote our heartful greetings on the card. it was a 'get well' card. i guess tats the next best msg for her. even though we all know deep inside that that's not the case. entered into her room in small grps. thankfully i hav serene with me. sort of felt the urge to pray for miss peh so i asked serene to do it. n there i was holding miss peh's swollen n bloated hand, as serene started praying my tears just fell. i prayed silently in my heart too. n i spoke tins which i would not hav said to anyone face to face. how i am very thankful to her for helpin us to improve our english in sec sch. if not, we wouldnt hav made it so far to this day. n this inner thot that she has already completed what God wans her to do here, and that Jesus wans her back now. Honestly speaking, my mouth trembled as i said that. but somehow i knew i wanted to tell her that. and i muz say it out.

n yes, the oni tin that we shld be praying for is healing. even though the physical pain that she suffers will always be there, n we know that the ultimate form of healing is reali just death. i asked that God stop her pain, even if not physically, but emotionally. fact that she started crying when more n more of us go into the rm, i think the pain she felt was more emotional dan physical. how she doesnt wan us to see her in this state. the very fact that she is such a strong woman. n is still now. yes, i reali wish she can go home now. as she said. to her eternal home. to where she belongs.

as a side note, why isit that always... always... oni when we r in a crisis, when we cant help ourselves animore.. dan we come to know Him. Thank the Lord that He is always so forgiving, even though we rejected Him, and the fact that He loved us first, we will still be saved.

I still believe that it is this simple. that if you believe that He is your Lord and Savior, you will be saved. regardless of how righteous we are, what deeds we committed, the mere fact that we believe, we will return to Him one day.

That if you confessed with your mouth, " Jesus is Lord", and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
Romans 10:9

Today's QT

Religious Legalism (strictly following rules of religion) vs Being Free in Christ

"Some people feel much safer following the law than being led by the Spirit. They think they are okay as long as they follow a prescribed plan that everyone else is following. But following the Spirit may lead people to do something a little different from what everyone else is doing. They will need faith to leave the security of the crowd because God doesn't lead everybody to serve Him in exactly the same place or at the same capacity.

The law is our tutor, but it is not to be our master.

When what you are doing doesn't give you joy, when there is no life in it for you anymore, that is a strong indication that God is finished with whatever He was working through you."

- what are the laws that you have made for yourself? earthly laws?

- are you strictly following rules that come from man-made religious rituals?

-acknowledge the sins in ur life, by the grace of God, we will lose the desire to continue sinning
by praying

-it is hard to freely acknowledge we have sinned. but confessing our sins to God breaks their power over us and delivers us.

-He then changes our desires so that we want what He wants.
