just another normal day spent in school passed...i thank God that my friendship with my classmates has deepen over these few months. i'm looking fwd to our class outing! i realised that one thing that i dun talk about with my friends are my struggles. the problems that i face in and outside school. it's so hard to tell and share with them when things happen. will they understand? the promises that i believe in and the God that i trust in.
two words has been popping up in myhead every now and then. 'outward appearance'
i was surprised that ytd's sermon was partly abt outward appearance as well! i was encouraged
by rev kenny fam's sermon. in poly, everyone dresses up. people care so much about how they look, whether they stand out or not. their outward appearance. dress to impress...that the matters in our heart are forgotten. i dun want to fall into that. God wants me to know that and remind me that i dun have to be affected by whats around me. i can be myself and dress in a way thats pleasing in His sight. =)
some things that i learnt last wk:
Jesus came to serve, not to be served. i go to church not to be loved but to love God and love his people. i cannot love God with a heart thats taken up with other things, thats stained with sins and not right with God. we can be pure in heart with pure motives, it's made possible thru our relationship with God.
i finished sch at four today and i went to the library with shufen to borrow two books for our tourism project. we chose london =) even before they won the bid, heh. i pushed the library glass door even tho' i saw the 'pull' sign on it. and shufen screamed at me for doing that. stubborn me =P wanted to try new things. after that, we treated ourselves to yan yan! *grin* i love my sch! so many nice things to eat.
our tourism project deadline's on next monday lah and there's gonna be so many tests nxt wk!
both of us are soon-to-be driven by the 'last-min work' stress. haha.*single mindedly devoted
everything else fades away...when u focus on Jesus.
