Lightbulb!

Ah! I guess the sudden change in mood and atmosphere have caused this emptiness.
I need a new purpose for now.

Speechless

It's over. And here I am, don't know what else to do.
Feeling a little bit empty.

Everyone has his own stage to shine on

She said, "Like him then jump onto the stage to get him." - paraphrased

Even if I were to be given the chance,
No.
For the stage is his, not mine.
It's his place to shine, not mine.
It's his passion, his calling, not mine.
I believe everything on stage stays on the stage (unless if you live there).
Life goes on after that.
What I yearn to know is him in person, in reality.
It is the communication with him that interested me, not his fame.
The stage belongs to him and his bandmates,
it's not a place I or anyone else can interfere.


#Madness. I mean, everyone has his own specific calling and that will be his stage to work hard on. And I'll do that for every of the people I care for. Anyways, just ignore me. :)

Keeping my own pace

Almost all are starting their internships, and yes, except me.
Of course, sometimes I feel envious of them to be able to proceed at the expected rate.
But then again, probably having to lag behind is a blessing in disguise, too.
I get to know a wider range of people, more time to figure out what do I really want to do with my life - try and error eh?, more time to enjoy my student life, etc. you name it.

Now the only two things that I need to achieve are:
  • seeking for His confirmation
  • get good grades to qualify myself to any degree course I'd choose in the future
Others will fall into their respective places eventually.


God blesses me, and you too, my dear readers.

Actions without Love

Is dead. 

1 Corinthians 13

If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10 but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. 11 When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. 12 For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

Haven't watched One Piece for quite some times already. Exam is finally coming to an end. I shall meet thee coming Sunday night. :D

I really like this picture. It depicts each member when he/she was young - what made him/her who he/she is now, and the hopes he/she clings on to so tightly that even when the situations seem deadly, he/she perseveres.

Never give up!
their voices echo.

Nonetheless

Though I have yet to achieve greater accomplishments, He has already blessed me with so many little things:

He kept my little finger intact - not even a bruise!
He kept the sharp pin from falling on my leg.
He enabled me to finish revising all subjects (except Biology) for at least once within a few days time - going for second round now. :)

To You, I commit the whole finals.
Bless me, bless my studies & my future.
Thank you, Father. 

LET THE GAME BEGINS!

Having God to teach you during the exam doesn't count as cheating, right? :D

God is never wrong!

A king who did not believe in the goodness of God, had a slave who, in all circumstances would always say “my king, do not be discouraged, because everything God does is perfect. He makes no mistakes!”

One day they went hunting and along the way a wild animal attacked the king. His slave managed to kill the animal, but could not prevent his majesty from losing a finger.


Furious and without showing his gratitude for being saved, the nobleman asked

"Is God good? If He was good, I would not have been attacked and lost my finger."

The slave replied:

"My king, despite all these things, I can only tell you that God is good, and he knows why these things happened. What God does is perfect. He is never wrong!"

Outraged by the response, the king ordered the arrest of his slave.


Later, the King left for another hunt, this time alone. He was captured by savages who engaged in human sacrifices.

On the altar and ready to sacrifice the nobleman, the savages discovered that their victim did not have one of his fingers. According to them, only a whole person with all his/her parts intact could be offered to the gods. The King without a finger was deemed an abominable sacrifice for their gods. So they released the King.


Upon his return to the palace, the King authorized the release of his slave. He received the slave affectionately.


He asked his slave, God was really good to me! I was almost killed by the wild men, but for lack of a single finger, I was let go! But I have a question: if God is so good, why did he allow me to put you in jail?

The slave answered, my King, if I had gone with you on this hunt, I would have been sacrificed instead because I have no missing finger. Remember everything God does is perfect. He is never wrong. He made you keep me in jail so I would not be with you on the hunt.


Often we complain about life, and negative things that happen to us, forgetting that nothing is random and that everything has a purpose.


Every morning, offer your day to God, don't be in a rush.


Ask God to inspire your thoughts, guide your actions, and ease your feelings. And do not be afraid. God is never wrong!

You know why this message is for you? I do not know, but God knows, because He never makes mistakes.


The path of God and his word is perfect, without impurities. He is the way of all those who trust in Him, as He says in 2 Samuel 22: 31,
 

New International Version (NIV) 31 
   “As for God, his way is perfect: 
    
The Lord’s word is flawless; 
    
he shields all who take refuge in him.

 
What you do with this message is up to you. May God put in your heart the desire to send it to someone. God knows why He chose you to receive this message. Please bless someone with it.


God is never wrong!

New Month New Resolutions

Mr Cookie Monster says HI! :D

It's September already!
Final semester exam next week then I'll be having a week off from school.
Urgent! Need to plan something to entertain myself. 
And also, what do I want to achieve this month?

The original version

I'm seriously in love with his music! And him. :P

Mah ♥

His newly released song.
If only he can substitute the beeps with something better.
To be candid, I really dislike people who swear as much as they breathe.
Nonetheless, I can't help but to put this song on repeat.



♥ ♥ ♥

Lyrics translation:


I felt a pinch in the heart after listening to this song. :'(
