Im already feeling as happy as those who have finished. I'm sorta in hols mood alr.. but soon i guess i'll be sick of it. With all the days without the need to study, i guess i'll be so uneasy.Not used to it perhaps. haha..anw.it's ok.cos there's something more EXCITING waiting for me!! yeah...orion..all my trips..badminton..HARRY POTTERs.. n hopefully Project Serve!!! (hence not Project Superstar lo... i dun meet their criteria anw) hahar yup yup n im looking forward to all these activities.. after slogging..ah..i mean working hard.. for the past 2 years.. it's time to ENJOY myself n learn about so much more things other than those found in the boring notes... hee O praise God!! Rachel n Grace are coming for the Orion.. oohh not to miss out my cousin! =D Did you see God's hands working through the hearts of these people. I did!! & I'm truly AMAZED!
recently have been a tough period... studying.. coping with some funny feelings.. watched Watoto Children Choir.. discussed bout God... After all these..God taught me an important lesson. the Watoto Children choir was truly the work of the Lord.. without His love. These orphans, whose parents died either in wars or from AIDs which is spreading like wildfire, wouldnt even have a proper shelter over their heads. They would probably be scavenging for rotten bread or anything edible in the rubbish dump. They would probably be looking for usable things, anything to sell for that cent that we city dwellers no longer hold much value. Like what a sister said.. while we happily choose the flavour of our ice cream we are going to have tonight, having ice cream is probably their own wish this life.
They dont have a roof over their heads, lest a bed. They dont even have proper meals, lest a healthy body. They dont even have clean water and a proper bath, lest a proper pair of shoes. They dont have CDs, mp3, computer, mobile phone, sports shoes, proper shirts.. not even a single dollar... they have NOTHING... but when i see the JOY and peace on the faces of these choir kids, praising their Father in Heaven, their only source of hope. I saw EVERYTHING. no.. dun get me wrong, they still dont have mp3 or coms or hp.. wel they have got the basic things though, food shelter..There's sth more.
God's radiance, His love, His comfort, His hope, His promise, His Joy...everything.. they have gotten ALL that will never perish! God's all..
I see the things in my life.. results, trophies, mp3, achievements.. sooner or later they are going to pass. These that i seem to hold on to so dearly are temporal. Even relationships with people. These relationships are something unique and priceless that God gives.. but they too pass soon. How many of those we met can actually leave footprints in our lives? When i saw God's glory on the faces of these kids, all other things seem to fade away.. I asked myself, do i have the same passion for God as these brave children, despite their tragedy? I complain at the slightest thing that went wrong in life,can i still stand in front of hundreds of my fellow human beings like the kids to proclaim a changed life.. to proclaim His excellencies? Instead, Im burdened by unnecessary and pointlessly thoughts..burdened by studies. Grieve over childish acts and worthless attention seeking behaviour... Im ashamed. . . . . . . . If these (what most people think) ill-fated kids can set aside all the worries and awful memories they have, praise and worship God, how can I not realise that Im as priviledged as them to be given the title of God's daughter?to know him,fortunate to be living in Singapore, given every opportunity to lead a good life.. Well those incidents that happen on these kids.. are really God's blessings. Sometimes i think it's true.. that the things we treasure most and give heartfelt thanks are those precious things we lost and found it back...
These kids have shown Pure gratitude toward Abba Father.
I have all that i've want...my earthly comfort, material satisfaction,emotional comfort by people around me too.. But more often than not.. I know i'm poorer than these African kids.They have nothing but they have Everything too.. I can have everything,yet at the same time,lose all that i can possibly have.How ironic.
Signing off...Tingyu^^
Just me
"Even youths grow tired and weary,
and young men stumble and fall;
but those who hope in the LORD
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint." Isa 40:30-31
