you're a mystery yourself

9:36 PM

i havent had any time for myself this week, ever since monday. but it was good. for it was spent with family, friends, and in the service of God. for the first time in my life, yes first time, dont laugh, i felt good not because i got an essay done or i finished a compre, but because i saw the love of God shining in people's faces, and in the events around me. And i think He works in wonderful and mysterious ways. after such a tumultous, scary, sorrowful, busy, heartbreaking, regret-filled start to the week, and for the first time seeing my mother break down, and seeing her raw faith in God, the Almighty Father has given me sustenence and hope through the bible seminar. now i truly realise that while not even i can comfort my mum but God can, while friends may comfort me, but only God can truly reach deep within my heart, see my pain, see who i truly am, and truly understand me, and comfort the insignificant me.

its truly such a blessing. that i was feeling so down yet He has uplifted me. He has given me countless warnings, but I have not listened. But I will this time.

And today was really really.. no words can express it. I've felt so blessed that even from the Garden of Eden where our first parents committed original sin, God has given us a glimmer of hope, that His all encompassing love reaches out and covers us His children. and how we are called to be disciples of His, matyrs of His, to BE HIS KINGDOM in this world, and witness to others His magnificent love. and i ask myself, where in my life have I done this. For i have always asked but never given. and if my mother is self-sacrificial (to the point of covering up her own grief for our own good. ma please dont, let me share in your burden please.), then God is the utmost undying love.

And I have been filled with such joy and wonder at His Word today, at his immaculate plans. truly His time rivals no other. How Jesus our Passover Lamb has redeemed us, and He has prepared a room for us in heaven, and all of us can rest assured that er yi is there partaking in the 'marriage vows' that God has promised us, the eternal rest, that she is dancing in eternal joy. oh thank God, Praise God the Almighty Father.

May I never forget the zest that filled me today. I have felt so blessed working for the Lord, seeing the people filter out of the hall with light on their faces, newfound joy. (oh yes i must remmeber to bring the money!) and thank you so much to all those on the organizing team. i know i have given ben stress too XD and gen for being the other wonderful half of me. thank you for staying back when i didnt, and helping me finish the board.

I have been filled with such a hunger for God's Word. maybe its cuz of that innate feeling in me sometimes when i see unread books. like i want to read them and devour them. but this hunger was like nothing else. like i felt so inadequate, and only God could fill me like a water tank that will never get full. like a sponge. ok whatever metaphor there can be. I wanted so much to learn more, so much to learn His will for me, that no matter where I may want to go, it is because it is His will for me, and what He wants me to do, and that in my actions, people may see His kingdom come. to study His Word really this isnt studying at all. how could i have ever thought that! for all the months being in logos, I've never appreciated my ministry more. sure, praise and worship is bravo, but im like musically challenged much. =) im more suited being the audience, singing praises to God who has blessed us and taken us under His wing although we have failed Him so many many many times. thank you Lord for logos, and for gen and for all the people who have made this event possible. im glad i said i would take part. and i know my mum has been stressed over my staying out so late. hmm so thats why im here at 9 40 typing this out, while the others are at the hall putting in the last touches to the hall exhibition. my heart aches, i should be with you guys sharing in the joy of serving others, touching others, but i also totally enjoyed my diner with my family. i think ever since the events of last week, we all have silently made resolutions not to wait till the last minute to show our love. this was the first time we took out those playing cards ever since like what the start of the year?

and i should add another thing. i think we have really touched people and i thank God for talking to us through thomas smith (who is a great guy, and so full of knowledge of God's Word. and so eagar to tell us more and more and more). i was counting the love offerings in the youth office and i have never handled so much money before in my life, and people were just so generous and it was so touching. and many many people said yes i want to have more events like this, whether by our church or by other churches. this has been so uplifting.

ok enough said. maybe pictures tomorrow so i can remember this eventful week. and today of course. wow. I praise you God for Your Love. thank you for everything you've done for me. thank you thank you thank you.

&the beauty.
