Love of God...

Don't you think it's actually one of the most overused and under represented commandment of GOd

Many people claim they have love and stuff....but if you look carefully into the Bible, the love of GOd is not the human love. It is the love that enbraces the worst in people, it's the love that brings out the best in people. And most of all, this is the only love that can make this screwed up world a better place to live in. The God kind of love that we can have but we muz consientiously put into ourselves.

How much Love of God you have comes to light not in the good seasons but the worst. That's where people see the glory of God shining through you. But each and everyone of us has the capacity for it. Because God will not ask us to do something He knows we can't do! Can u imagine! That means that everyone can have it. But you have to put it in your heart.

1 Corin 13:4-8

Love suffers long and is kind; ( how many times do we feel like pulling our hair out coz of someone?)

love does not envy; ( how many times we think, "So good! they have xxx and xxx!")

love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; ( how many times do we boasts of what we have?)

does not behave rudely, (how many times do we feel like being nasty to someone?)

does not seek its own,

is not provoked,

thinks no evil;

does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth;

bears all things,

believes all things,

hopes all things,

endures all things.

Love never fails.

need i say more?

heh...all the big shots in the department are out for lunch so im 'free' in the technical sense to write!

haha...yesterday was a pretty fun day. Woke up early in the morning to play netball with church frens and man!, the sun was scorching hot. hahah...we were like ' i dun wanna play in the hot sun!!' but we still went out in the end. it was fun while it lasted. And now I'm paying the dues for it. MUSCLE ACHE! hahah...so unfit already ...

had a nice pasta lunch after that before gg home.

Really, it's not the crowds and partying that matters.

It's not the number of friends that matters.

It's not the $$ that matters.

And it's defintely how "cool" you are that matters.

In the end, it's when you can spend that precious time with the ones you love and care about. It's about how you can all just sit there, not talking, and feel the connection with each other. It's how the quiet prescence of the people around you makes everything in life worth all the trouble and hard work.

Juz like in 孙燕姿 's latest song

我怀念的是无话不说
我怀念的是一起作梦
我怀念的是无言感动
我怀念的是绝对炽热

A song from Singapore-born LA based artiste Corrinne May that I find very inspiring

I try to smile my tears away
I try to keep my cool
Oh but one more door gets in my way
I feel like such a fool
Trampled and bitter
My heart just wants to bleed and stop
Believing in me

It feels like nothing is for certain
and that nothing comes for free
When they're lowering the curtain
to the theatre of my dreams
I stumble and I crumble and I'm
Sinking to my knees but you
You cradle me

You keep me flying
You keep me smiling
You keep me safe in a crazy world
You understand me
Embrace my fragility
You keep me safe in a crazy world
And in your arms I find the strength
to believe in me again

Noise keeps chasing me
No matter where I go
Oh and life likes pretending that it's
On a TV show
When it's hard to tell what's real
From what the world just wants to preach
You are the voice I seek

'cause when I'm wrapped up in your arms
Nothing else can touch me
What a wonderful way to recharge
I feel like I can breathe again

Feel that it's really a beautiful song that captures many people's frustration in life but we know that in God we find rest. His arms are like the wings of eagles keeping us safe from this world...

it's been a hectic day today...quite a rariy for tuesdays but at least I can look forward to half day tomorrow...hahah

had lunch alone today..and was reading the discovery guide to American National Parks. I juz can't get away from it huh... Yellowstone. Grand Teton. Grand Canyon. Yosemite. I so miss these places! I mean it's been quite sometime since I've gone on tips just to take my time and explore around.

Anyways, I am gonna grumble about how the buses from SBS Transit always seem to chugg along like they were on some overheated engine and take forever to get from noe place to another. But God's love is patient and kind ...so I need to be more tolerant of such "efficient" services from an agent with supposedly world class technology. ahah

Seriously, Singapore don't own these world class technology. It owns us.

better write later. later get caught

avour

Hey Hey!

Writing here during work at the risk of getting caught by my bosses...zzz

But wat's a girl to do while waiting for the other things to do ? haha

weekend was intersting! we had approval from Pastor to paint the room.Yay!

Some thoughts that ran through my mind while at work. It's really amazing how small Singapore is but I still take the same time in getting to work from Punggol as I did to NUS.. how ironic...=_=

anyways, got nothing much to do now but to look out at the windows. How interesting the sky suddenly seems to you when u really study it in detail. It's like ever changing but always there. How I wish I can be like the clouds. Free to go whereever I want to but still there in the technical sense for the people I care about.

When everywhere you go gives u a sense of deja vu. Like you've been there before sometime in your life. But you wonder how could it be. You've only lived a short 23 years of the human life...could you have been in so many places? that's the beauty of mother nature

and isn't it true to say that the most beautiful places on this earth were birthed form the greatest wrath of mother nature, and yet nothing on this earth can compare to the beauty you see when you live in the prescence of God..wow!

gotta go now before I really get caught! write soon!

Its been a long day today....current job that is slightly less than challenging in the intellectual sense has left me with much room to think...yet again. think of things , life and the beauty of it ...or so some may say. Had some free time today and my thoughts wandered off to the good times I had in Yellowstone. Triggered mainly by the little incident in the office where we caught sight of a rare phenomenon otherwise known as water spout. Haha....good hype over the "twister". The beauty and violence of the earth that is inevitable meshed together in a single twist of event. It's not hard to imagine that the most beautiful places on this earth are places that experienced one of the mother nature's most violent wraths. And they say, "Good things never come for free"...hahah....weird context to apply it. But oh well, it's a Friday. Does it really matter if its Friday, or Monday, or Sunday? Seriously, Friday is just a state of mind that people come up with to console and propel them forward to the events of the coming week.

Steady, stable and predictable. I very much prefer to be chasing storms and windsurfing rite now. The elements of everything opposite to the Maslow's Hierarchy of needs.

For such a long post in a blog is sth quite unusal for me....Imagine...how restless I am .... EXCITEMENT in life, is it too much to ask for?

Sleep on it (...not to mention , I only juz woke up)...hmmm....maybe that's y I am spouting out so much nonsensical blubbers today...

I'll juz say God Bless U and Avour! A Tout de Suit!

Yoo Hoo!

First post here!

Juz started work at xxx company and in to my second week liao...so bored I decided to set up this blog..haha
