Allow me to be weak for a minute...
probably this is the only avenue...
i'm trying to study but nothing goes in...
everything else that i studied before, is suddenly so foreign
i feel like crying, yet i cant
its no one's fault, really.
I need to learn how to control my emotions.
Never expected this, but yes.
Yet, I will still praise Him in the storm...
He will see me through...

Amazing God
As i reflected upon the friends I have who've been born again, I just realised how He takes into consideration of each of our character and appeals and puts us into different denominations... Can see His purpose / idea slowly form in the lives of these people. Each one of us are called to contribute to His kingdom in a different way, for the same purpose.
I started off from an Evangelical background, but i guess i've grown much closer to Him now, in a Pentecostal church. Through this i've seen how important that we walk into His purpose. When we 'reach' one stage, THEN the next stage begins. We are all called to different denominations, different roles in each church. Though i'm still not exactly sure of the reason I'm in a Pentecostal church, i can see things slowly form and take place in my life...
No matter what denominations we're in, it is still the same God we worship, the same kingdom we contribute to. Just that the way we do things might be abit different - eg worship.
And yes, He is still in the process of "cleaning me up" for that "big day", and i want nothing else but a pure heart, to emulate Christ - spotless and clean. No gray zones. Only pure white. So white that it IS light in darkness.
Nothing but the best.
Amazing.

His Grace is sufficient
Indeed. Without Him, I will be nothing. It all goes to Him. Not me. That's all for the day's events. Grace - something which is given to you when you do not deserve it. Indeed.
Rested awhile, read this passage in Luke 22. Will just post it here, its about the night of the arrest of Jesus. Many things struck me about the passage.
Luke 22:39-53
39 Coming out, He went to the Mount of Olives, as He was accustomed, and His disciples also followed Him. 40 When He came to the place, He said to them, “Pray that you may not enter into temptation.”
41 And He was withdrawn from them about a stone’s throw, and He knelt down and prayed, 42 saying, “Father, if it is Your will, take this cup away from Me; nevertheless not My will, but Yours, be done.” 43 Then an angel appeared to Him from heaven, strengthening Him. 44 And being in agony, He prayed more earnestly. Then His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground.
45 When He rose up from prayer, and had come to His disciples, He found them sleeping from sorrow. 46 Then He said to them, “Why do you sleep? Rise and pray, lest you enter into temptation.”
47 And while He was still speaking, behold, a multitude; and he who was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them and drew near to Jesus to kiss Him. 48 But Jesus said to him, “Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?”
49 When those around Him saw what was going to happen, they said to Him, “Lord, shall we strike with the sword?” 50 And one of them struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his right ear.
51 But Jesus answered and said, “Permit even this.” And He touched his ear and healed him.
52 Then Jesus said to the chief priests, captains of the temple, and the elders who had come to Him, “Have you come out, as against a robber, with swords and clubs? 53 When I was with you daily in the temple, you did not try to seize Me. But this is your hour, and the power of darkness.”
Reflections on this:
No matter what, God will not leave you. He will send His angels to strengthen you, to give you the provision to achieve what He has in mind for you. So fret not. Angels will carry you through!
And Jesus was so full of love that He did not even when He knew He was going to die. The people around Him could not hold their temper. When surrounded, they were thinking of fighting out. Yet Jesus did not. Throughout His life, He held true to God's principles. Lived by them no matter what the circumstances turn out to be... Be it during your worse mood, worse circumstance, worse experience. We all have a duty to continue to live like He does. Something which I must confess that I am still learning. As i reflect on how i get short tempered when the stress builds up and caring nothing else besides studying... i guess it is a good time for me to check myself and change...

Mum
My mum is incredible. I must say this, even though i'm just hours away from that clinicals.
I really am amazed by what she can do. Ha. She walked right into another person's house uninvited and brought my aunt along. Ha she saw some renovations going on at granny's neighbouring unit and walked right into it, greeted the workers, as if she was the owner and looked at the renovations for the WHOLE HOUSE. she didn't even know the owner lah. All in the name of curiosity and looking at others' house design...I really amazed at what aunties do... How i wish i have the time to do that too!
She really never fail to amuse me with the unexpected things that she can do...
Unique i must say. (or probably all aunties are like that?)Ha, yes i'm also frequently amused by how other aunties behave! Ha we'd see how my generation will turn out when the gals start to be "aunti-fied" ha. They might fare even "better"! Hee

Struggling...
As I'm struggling to memorise all that I can, discouraged when the facts escape me, I don't think I can use the word "struggling" when i see the following video.
Brace up, dude! You have to cross this barrier to go on to other things!
P/S: no matter how much Paeds I've studied, when I saw the video, I didn't know how to react...
