Hello WORLD!!!
It's been what, a couple of years since I had a blog?
hehe(:
Let's hope this one doesn't die a slow death like the others did... :O
LOLS!OKNK!
I had this sudden urge to get a blog... S0 here I am, Blogging! :P

Hm...
Today, I went to church with Mummy and Daddy...
It was quite funny...
When the sermon started, Pastor Khong started to talk about something, so I think my mental clock decided it was sleep time(!), so I went to sleeep ((: hehe(: -.-" I vaguely recall Mummy nudging me awake, but I guess I ignored her :O hahs((: and went back to sleep((: (I know it's not good to sleep during sermon, but as they say, the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak! ((: ) then suddenly my head lunged forward ( cos it was doing that nodding thing) so obviously I HAD to wake up... and guess what? Pastor hadn't even started on his usual 3-points after preaching for FORTY MINUTES!!! and he actually started preaching about 5mins after i woke up! Ain't God's timing GREAT?! ((: hehe(: so I listened to the sermon, and it was about drawing the line. It was really "enlightening" (: cos like nowadays, many of us do things that conform to the expectations of this world even if it's not right. The 3 points were...
(1) Please GOD and not MEN
In Daniel3, king Nebuchadnezzar threw the 3 Jews Shadrach, Mashach and Abednego into the furnace cos they refused to bow down to his statue. This shows that even though they were commanded by the most powerful man on Earth at that time, they chose to please God and not bow to any other gods or thing. WOW!!! Cool right? we are accountable to GOD, not man!!!
(2)Personal knowledge of God's greatness and goodness
in verse 17,they said to KingNeb,"if we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to save us from it, and he will rescueus from your hand, O king." And true enough, God REALLY DID save them!!! They knew full well that God would do something to save them. It's amazing to think that he guards who threw them into the furnace were burnt to death, but they were place INSIDE the furnace (which was heated 7 more times than it should have been heated) escaped unharmed and unscathed!!! :O
(3)Paying the price for OBEDIENCE
the 3 Jews were perpared for the slight possibility that God would not save them. but they still refused to bow to that statue. They had the "If I die, I die" mentality. and God rewarded their obedience!!! ((; Matthew 16:25-26 says "For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will gain it. What good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world , yet forfeits his soul?"

God is so AWESOME!!! (:
hehe(:
oh, by the way, the tagboard entry>>>> about me not needing comfort was because in the original blogskin template, the 'title' for the tagboard was " i need some comfort" then i decided to change it to "i need some sleep" hehe(: in case y'all were wondering why there's a sudden comment about me and comfort... hehe(:

GaHHH!!!
Harry Potter and the half-blood prince is coming out NEXT THURSDAY!!! OH MY GOSH!!!
hehe((: I managed to sweet-talk my brother into going with me... hehe(: he refused to "da-gou-gou" (the locking of the pinkies signalling a promise) with me though.... but he said oknk. i hope we go!!! ((:

FEAR
oh what I would do to have
the kind of faith it takes to
climb out of this boat I'm in
onto the crashing waves
to step out of my comfort zone
into the realm of the unknown where Jesus is
and he's holding out his hand

but the waves are calling out my name and they laugh at me
reminding me of all the times i tried before and failed
the waves they keep on telling me
time and time again boy
you'll never win
you'll never win
you'll never win

oh what i would do to have
the kind of strength it takes to stand before a giant
with just a sling and a stone
surrounded by the sound of a thousand warriors
shaking in their armour
wishing they'd had the strength to stand

and the giant's calling out my name and he laughs at me
reminding me of all the times I treid before and failed
the giants keeps on telling me
time and time again boy
you'll never win
you'll never win
you'll never win

but the stone was just they right size
to take the giant down
and the waves don't seem so high
when I'm standing on top of them looking down
I would soar with the wings of eagles'
if i could just ignore the sound
of the waves and the giants
of the waves and the giants in my mind

Lord, you've not given me
a spirit of fear
but of power and of love
and of sound mind
so from now on i won't let the tempter's lies
turn my eyes away from the prize
that you have set before me
that you have set before me

this song is just so nice!!!
Right? RIGHT???!!! AMEN! hehe(:
