2006
This year'll be over in a few hours. It's been a really quick year, a year with lots of changes, adaptation to long pants, new subject combinations, and lots more. School's one thing, lots of other stuff, new temptations, new feelings, emotional problems, but finally, peace at heart, and lots of warmth, one i've been awaiting for quite a while since the year started. My change to the ss ministry.. i didn't favour in the begginning, and i see where my mistakes lie and now i thank God for putting me here, for there're some underlying bad points in Peace.
Perhaps i'm changed, and i enjoy it. And i'm looking forward to the new year. I really can't wait for the o levels to end, i'm dying to leave secondary school. The schedule, if i have any, will be very very packed and busy for me and i hope next year will go by just as fast as this year went by, or maybe, much faster. And i want to see myself, if i can still manage to hold my faith in place, though i'm emotional, i hope the changes i've requested pf to make will really assist me.
In church today, my last day of being in ye's disciple group, sharing time, lots of thinkings and recollections of this past good year. And, haha, wei zhou called me twice, once telling me how he was freaked out at some Charismatic church.. Though, no matter how big the size, how many people go to it, how good are their sermons, how ''hot'' their stuff are, to me, they'll remain as part of the unorthodox churches. Well maybe i'm wrong, but that's what i think anyway. Besides, most of them have the wrong aim, mostly, their aim being to increase the membership and attendance, which really isn't what they should be looking for.
And lots of lessons to learn of course, on vivian, how she learnt to put her focus at the right place, and not put her aims wrongly due to stress and exams. Cheng huan, to just really accept what His plans holds for us in the future.
Back at home, reading the Screwtape Letters i told pf to buy from me at expo, another brilliant book by a genius. Because cs Lewis assumes the role of a senior devil, writing tips through letters to his nephew, we can see an entire different view. Though he, not being a devil himself cannot show truly what's happening, but he gives many valuable lessons that we cannot see directly from a human's point of view. Its funny how he says there's a devil in charge of every person, and they call us ''patients''.
Some things to learn and to remind us.. Like even simple things like not handing all over to Him, even in trivial matters, we have to look to Him. The Devil does easy of keeping things out of our minds, instead of us accusing Him of putting things into our minds. This i find true, we tend to forget and lose focus, forget our direction.
The devil teaches us to estimate the value of each prayer by their success in producing the desired feeling. For example, we ourselves, making us feel forgiven when asking for forgiveness.
Another point, all the pleasures and desires of the flesh are, made and given by God. The devil cannot create new ones, however, he can encourage us to take the pleasure at times, or in ways, or in degrees, which God has forbidden. Hence, the devil tries to work away from the natural condition of any pleasure. This applies a lot especially in terms of human sexuality. Keeping in mind, Christians that no matter how politically correct something seems to be, we shouldn't do it as long as it doensn't please Him.
Yes finally, its really coming, the new year, and i really really really really really want it to end quickly. If i had a time machine, i'd go ahead of time. Spare me all the nonsense of school, just get me over the year! I shall end here and Happy New Year to everyone, hoping you all are looking forward to the reopening of school as much as i am! =)
