home(:

while waiting for my nails to dry, thought i'd blog a bit. its been good being home, its only been a week - it feels like ive done a lot yet it seems like the week really flew by! this time concept is hard to grasp.

thankful for everyone who has taken time off to catch up with me! i knw time is precious esp with growing older all the distractions in life

(continued two days later).
i feel really distracted these days, just lazing around and cant focus on the things at hand! even though i feel stressed about it, but i dont do anything about it. shall start tonight!

on sunday, ps ed talked about the law and its relevance to the gospel. its really interesting how the OT and NT ties together in many ways more than one, and he was talking about how we who have the good news, should really share it with the people around us! its like, if we know of a good sale, we will definitely tell our friends about it. what about jesus? sometimes i think, i actually shy away from talking about Jesus more than I ought to. I'm still learning how to give Him glory in all aspects and to everyone around me i guess, im afraid of the comments people might make, but hey, many people made nasty comment and rejected jesus too. life is not about being miss popular or about gaining approval of men. its hard, but important to remember.

in meeting up with different people, especially since we're entering into the workforce, ive come to realise the different priorities and ideals that each person has. Its amazing how everyone can be so different, im learning to look upon people in love, not to judge or to want to influence, but praying too for the right words to say! words can encourage, but words can also tear down others. I also feel though, that we live in a very self-centred generation where the world revolves around us, we like to think that we're different, we're special, we like to think that we are good people etcetc. I'm guilty of it too, but just like how I learnt in cairns, I still need to consciously lay aside myself, and put others before myself. think of God and not me. we also need to be less critical of others, not that we dont have our own perspective and views, but to accept others for who they are. to be meek, to be gentle.

working can really squeeze someone dry, or pull someone into the working routine. but i hope that people will come to realise that life is not just about going through it or doing what other people tell you to do, but about walking the journey/path thats set out for you, which is different for everyone! i am quite afraid that i will just settle into the worklife, i dont know what i mean by not settling into the "worklife", but everyone always has this face when they talk about "work". and i dont really want to sink into that...

ahwells just a jumbled mess of some of my thoughts triggered by something that made me a tad uncomfortable. bye!
