We rode into town the other day, just me and my Daddy. He said I'd finally reached that age, and I could ride next to him on a horse that of course was not quite as wide We heard a crowd of people shouting and so we stopped to find out why There was that man that my dad said he loved, but today there was fear in his eyes
So I said Daddy why are they screaming? Why are the faces of some of them beaming? Why is he dressed in that bright purple robe? I bet that crown hurts him more than he shows Daddy please can't you do something? He looks as if he's going to cry You said he is stronger than all of those guys Daddy please tell me why, why does everyone want him to die?
Later that day the sky grew cloudy and daddy said I should go inside Somehow he knew things would get stormy, boy was he right But I could not keep from wondering if there was something that he had to hide So after he left I had to find out, I was not afraid of getting lost So I followed the crowds to a hill where I knew men had been killed And I heard a voice come from a cross: And it said:
Father why are they screaming. Why are the faces of some of them beaming? Why are they casting their lots for my clothes?? This crown of thorns hurts me much more than it shows, Father please can't you do something? I know that you must hear my cry I thought I could handle a cross of this size, Father remind me why, why does everyone want me to die. When will I understand why?
My precious Son, I hear them screaming. I'm watching the face of the enemy beaming but soon I will clothe you in robes of my own. Jesus this hurts me more than you know But this dark hour I must do nothing. Though I've heard your unbearable cry the power in your blood destroys all the lies, soon you'll see past their unmerciful eyes. Look there below see the child trembling by her father's side. Now I can tell you why, she is why you must die.

Lifehouse Everything Skit
Life has been as tough as this isn't it.. when obsessed with pursuing all such temporal 'happiness'(bgr, money, drinking, fame...etc) come with a terrible price to pay. And Jesus is still there waiting... no matter how heartbroken he may be.. that one day you may see.. His face.
"The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by hands.And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything, because he himself gives all men life and breath and everything else. From one man he made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live.God did this so that men would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us. 'For in him we live and move and have our being.' " Acts 17:24-28
Suddenly feel like finding out. Couldnt remember what I was taught in primary school haha.. I know why we eat mooncakes.. but I wonder why kids carry lanterns on this day.. That's also the reason why I decided to blog..
A reminisce.. I remember when we were little, we carry our lanterns and walk around the neighbourhood.... we whine and cry for those electronic lanterns especially those that has music instead of those made of colourful glass paper or jus paper.. (rem those that need candles..?) Then we play with candles... destroying the whole neighbourhood landscape with all the wax remnants from the night before.. hee o those where the days. When I look down from my house today to the place where we would have fun, 我看见了小时候的踪影。。。好怀念哦。。 有个朋友说过， 人为了张大而不玩，却也因为长大了所以不玩了。。是吗？ sadly for kids these days... maybe due to the education system or our culture.. they indulge in computer games or hmm I dunno.. seems like these traditions and good funs are no longer kept. I dun hear the laughter I used to hear anymore. Less of it those... less lanterns, less fireworks, no more candle lights... less.. or rather... few... gone..
I had a good chat with my aunt last night over dinner.. he told me about how difficult it is to live with someone.. how difficult it was to live a life actually(i find)... looking at her life and coming back to think about what she said, I think its really a pity that she said there's no calling to pick up a religion or follow a God even though she knows someone this God is blessing her.. (well she's very exposed to Catholism and Christianity these days..) Somehow she's just not willing to give up the comfortable and self dominated life she's leading now and follow this God. She's exposed to so much... yet there's no calling? is that what God says men love darkness? Is this spiritual darkness so much so that man are totally blind towards the evil we have dwell in since the day we are born..? How scary is that when an obvious bright light is shining in your face and all you see is darkness... ?
I look at my life and think.. If my life becomes like my aunt's life... or anyone's life who graduates after uni, finds a job, get married, worry about money.. so works super hard to earn more, gets drunk, gets upset with work and kids(if ever there is), worry about parents' health...go on and on.. more often than not, it kinda comes back to nothing.. mundane stuff. It would be i guess.. without God.. to live this way. My life has been richer, filled not only with physical blessings, but more with an incredible relationship with Him.. what can be more rewarding than to know my life is exciting and yet at the same time safe.. now and even after I die. So life is not just for the now, the near future.. but for forever. Its simple yet complicated at the same time. Lovely and mysterious... hee :P
Ok.. enough of my emo rattles...
Just an update to those(if there's any) who have been waiting for my next entry.. Sorry for disappearing for some time.. have been really busy with school work. Got 2 mid terms coming up right after my 1 wk break(which is now) so... this holiday is not exactly a break actually.. :) And den..

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
