Growing up.
Well, since i’m kept awake by cramps, i figured i should revive my tumblr. One of the highlights of my week was spending my tuesday afternoon at yyc. Though i wasn’t well, i enjoyed myself with the kids especially the wee brothers- wee boon, wee siang and wee ping. Using different ways to teach wee siang and wee ping english was interesting. Wee ping was so ready to learn! I got my hands full when both of them was fighting for my attention. HAHA(:
It frustrates me when people look at children with annoyance, despising them because they’re little, incapable of anything. Being in cch and yyc really unset my mind about children. The willingness to serve, the spirit of giving and the lifestyle of love and evangelism is comparable to that of an adult or youth.
I grew up in a family where my relatives (thank God my parents don’t), during festivities or gatherings, would often ‘shove’ their kids to one of the room while they enjoy themselves. My cousins and i was reprimanded for making too much noise. In the end, we got punished to only stare blankly at the TV or at one another, waiting for time to pass. I will not go into how much we hated family gatherings in the past. Believe me, laughter from children was rarely heard. Kids was not allowed to behave like one. Public display of disciplinary action was enforced. Some of my cousins grew up with the, my-parents-never-believes-me-mentality.
I’ve never realised these until now. It shocks me to see how different the culture among my relatives and church is. If they could only believe that we have abilities and talents and stop putting us down because of our youth.
One other practice is that the parents, because of their love for us, decided to rescue us from the consequences of our poor decisions and shielding us from the mistakes they had made in the past so that we become a better person.
‘In order to protect them and isolate them from our past mistakes, we isolate them from the world.’
- Pastor Kevin loo
God wants us to grow, both physically and spiritually.
Neatness and stability give us a temporary sense of control but keeps us from maturing. Change often takes us out of our comfort zone but we grow.
Growth: to pass into a condition gradually, take on a specific property or attribute
It’s undeniable that we humans are not perfect. In the world, we make mistakes, learn from it and ask for forgiveness. What is true of the natural is true for the spiritual. In the spiritual, we sin, we repent to God, He forgives and we grow from it.
I pray that God will open those eyes for me.
MA is totally toasting my brains to the degree that i’m actually spouting MA gibberish that even a higher level of understanding has to forcefully comprehend.
I feel like a standard nerd right now, mugging like i’ve never mugged before in my life! Blisters are even forming on my finger. Well, this is definitely not a time for self-pity. And while i’m studying, Mandie and Nana are on the way to France to spend some time with Vanny! If only i could duplicate myself.
Vanny totally kept me awake for that full 2 hours! We talked about everything under the stars and even shared about our visions(:
Note to self: Never wrestle with God cause i’ll lose anyway.
I’ve finally throw in the towel and decided obedience is better than sacrifice.
I shall hold on to that vision!(:
I’ve made many pre-made decisions during CG on wednesday and i’m gonna hold on to my word.
Leadership, character and revelations.
Breakthrough is at hand.
On a side note, i’ve just concluded my QT. It was like drinking a dozen Brand’s. Never felt so refreshed in my life. Prayed for the people in my life, can’t wait for those prayers to come to past(:
Breakingthrough the first heaven. New territories.

New page
YES! I’ve finally finished the html frenzy and here i am, posting my 2nd post since 567388766478 days ago! I know, it’s really pinkish right?(:
Yesterday was the first day into the new semester and frankly speaking, after four months of holidays, my brains was doing a little cartwheels and refuse to work on me. Management accounting was so dry that i nearly withered in class. But NO! I will not succumb to these mindsets. I’m gonna start loving MA. Academic excellance!(:
Having said my piece, are you ready for some good news?
Heart of God church brokethrough in attendance last weekend and church-wide attendance was 1818!(: Yet another milestone and history-defining moment. I’m thrilled to be part of it. Loving my life not for what it is, but for how it unfolds with Jesus in me.
Excitement
Man United Vs. Barcelona!
