surprisingly and honestly, i dread this coming week. funny.

i don’t think i’ll ever be able to fully grasp the depth of God’s grace (not that i think anyone can), but thank You God…. when i’m at my lowest, i know You’ll show Yourself the clearest and You’ll be there to pick me up… and piece up all the pieces that fell from me..

thank God for crazy friends who set out to discuss our life purposes in an msn group convo (which SO did not work) at TWO am. kimmy jason you guys made my horrid night a whole lot brighter :) yes!! serving in youth ministry is a calling

thank God for a noobie time with my brother trying to bake yummy cheesecake … felt so good trying to crush up the biscuits and mix’em up with the peanut butter. yeh man baking is theraputic!

thank God for God.

hopefully this week doesnt crush me.

i’m struggling powerfully!

because i bought my vivitar more than a year ago and i haven’t started using it, because i haven’t had time to go buy the film. (teresa bought hers later than mine and she’s used it, sold it, and gotten a polaroid in its place.) any kind souls wanna volunteer yourself to go peninsula plaza with me to get the film? :)

wanna get my hands on the mini holga/ holga cgfn and polaroid too. i saw some news from somewhere that THEY ARE RESTARTING THE PRODUCTION OF POLAROIDS!! HAPPINESS! *jumps around

cameras and more cameras. they make me really happy.

resumed dance today after a very long time!! “jazz” class was…. actually in a very adrian style, which is basically just contemporary. and IT FELT AWESOME! dancing in a proper studio, proper sound system, and with really good choreography. felt every bit in my element :D i’m beginning to realise what is one genre that tops my list and that i can do better in !

and because i also want to be faithful with what God has given me. much is given, much is expected as well. i’m not trying to say that i’m very good, but at least i know God has planted this gift in me and i want to become even better, so that i can use dance to glorify Him and advance the kingdom! (: this is just a puny step forward, more to come!

anyway, bryan was indeed inspiring and encouraging. after class he sat us down and encouraged us to dare to move, dare to improve, because if we don’t dare to move even in class, we learn nothing and we won’t dare to showcase ourselves on stage. and he assured us not to be too worried that we can’t execute a certain move, because everyone’s body is different. if we can go higher leg lifts, go ahead and make it beautiful. if we’re not the flexible, it’s fine, there are other things we can do, but gotta make sure we improve as well. and it really convicts me, how important it is to know what genres/moves my body can take, and really, to discover my own style
: D go chia!!!

my life as a christian

April 14, 2009

shared with sandy about my ‘glorious’ past. everytime i share with someone about my so called life story, i am once again filled with new waves of thanksgivings. because everytime i share, i remember little details that i’ve missed out on… and interestingly, things that God purposely leaves aside as well to offer me a second chance.

you know sometimes how people – or christians – cringe, when others sort of label them as being holy, spiritual, a good little church kid.. etc. cos it sounds uncool or something along those lines.

but i don’t. truth is, God has set me apart for Himself. if people can see that i am a good little church kid, i really hope my life is a good representation of Jesus Christ. if people can’t tell that i’m a christian…. uh-oh, i’m in big trouble (:

after going through almost 5 years of aimless living despite calling myself a christian then, i’ve really come to understand what walking with God really means, that anyone can call him/herself a christian but really at the end of the day God sees the heart and knows who are His true followers. i’ve come to understand what it means to have a burning vision in your heart fueling every step of your life. i’ve come to understand the sweetness and the exhilaration of God revealing bit by bit to me His heartbeat and His vision. after having experienced both the bitter and the sweet, i have absolutely zero desire to try to live my life on my own again. so i don’t really mind being labelled as the good little church girl – there’s nothing uncool about that, everything is great about it. because i am totally in love with Jesus and His church, and i want to make sure i don’t cheapen the title “christian”.
