the events that happened just forces me to go closer with God. and i find that i really really need him in times of these trials. i've struggled with it again and again, but this time, it feels different, perharps due to the stuff that went on. my relationship with God has always been the basic and comfortable one. He's always there when i need him and i can go to Him in times of trouble. mankind is like that. we're sinful my nature. you do not know how to treasure something until something bad happens - i think some chinese idiom says something like that. hence, i'm sure every Christian has experienced this - ignoring God when you're living a life of bliss, and going back to Him when you are having difficulty with your life. as i mentioned earlier, i'm at a comfortable level with God. i don't think i've been through crossing my comfort zone because i think i'm not up to that level yet. when i read a cell group's blog, i shudder at the thought of learning what they are learning because i think its too intellectual for the people of their age.
i guess i'm still a baby, in the spiritual sense. i yearn to be closer to Him but there are just so many things in this world that keeps me drifted away. things that i ponder on for so long, and try and try and try to make things right, but to no avail. i may pray with all my might and strength. Lord, is this really not for me? my dad used to say that everything would be according to His own perfect timing. i'm still blurry on what happened because everything seemed to blank me out. i just want to make things the way it was.
on a lighter note (were the above paragraphs heavy? haha), i learnt how to kayak properly and not puke (argh, horrors of the sec 4 council camp gave me a phobia on kayaking), or maybe it was just the sturdiness of the person behind me. and, hmm, 1 star? haha. plus, carolling session today and the outing rocked, except for the fact that i came down with a flu and couldn't emcee.
oh yes, the carolling session at amk hospital warmed my heart. it really gave me great satisfaction to sing and to see everybody enjoy and appreciate it. thumbs up to luan for organising this! (:
