I'm sick and tired of trying so hard to find a human best friend...God has made me realise that He is really the bestest friend one could ever have...thanks for always being there when it hurts Jesus:)

Before I say what im gonna say, im gonna state that im using X as the person's name, as inspired my Pris' blog, to avoid weird ideas on who the person is...
Well, its like this, i dont understand X...i dont understand why X gets so irritated with me all the time...i dont understand why X does not want to acknowledge my presence in X's life...I know i have said and done things that hurt X before, and im a bit slow in realising that my words and actions actually hurt ppl...so X, please forgive me...all I want is to be your friend...
And then my relationship with Y is now on the rocks....Y, im sorry too...oh man, this cant get any worse, can it?

Lost And Found
"Your word is a lamp to my feet and
a light for my path"
- Psalms 119:105
Lost. Dark. Afraid.
Enveloped in Night.
Blanketed with Death.
No star to guide my way.
Lost. Dark. Afraid.
Running. Stumbling.
No where to hide.
World spinning around in circles.
Lost. Dark. Afraid.
Rustling. Who's that?
Man appears, lantern in hand.
"Come, my child. You've missed a bend."
Lost. Dark. Afraid.
No more. No longer.
For the lantern guides my way.
Though I cannot see
What this path holds install for me,
I do know for sure,
This burning Flame will spare me yet another tear.
I found the poem i wrote before i saw this blogskin. On 18th Feb. 2006. Including the verse thats before the poem, all i wrote before i saw the blogskin. So i got a shock when I saw the picture of the blog. And not mentioning that there was the same exact verse as in my poem, hahaa...thats why i chose this blogskin. Manage to dig this out on the outside com, haha...

I'm sick and tired. Sick and tired of the stress from school work. Sick and tired from needing to study so much. Sick and tired of missing so many months of cell. Sick and tired of feeling rejected by everyone. Sick and tired of being judged on my limitations.
But you know what? Im gonna stop feeling sick and tired already. You know why? Cos I know that my God will be there to guide me through all the difficulties that I'm facing now. Cos I now that as long as I look to Him and face these difficulties with courage, God will be my source of strength and hope, and He will draw me closer to Him:) and why do i know this? Cos in the Bible it says:
"Come," he said.
Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, " Lord, save me!"
Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. " You of little faith," he said, " why did you doubt?"
Matthew 14:29-31 ( NIV)
So, I'm not gonna let circumstances wobble my faith, instead, im gonna trust in Jesus 110 percent that He will guide me out of this mess:) Oh yes, S.O.S fellow christians, pls help me pray for my mum's mum, cos her shoulder is really very painful for some unknown reason, and pls ask God to heal her and open her heart to Christ( and also my grandad) before its too late, thanks:) Oh, and Sy Rogers' sermon really touched my heart. Go find out more bout him at SyRogers.com:)

Only when that candle falls to the ground can that flame spread and consume whatever that lies in its way. Likewise, lets be willing to let go of ourselves and surrender completely to Jesus so that He might use us to spread His word and set many hearts ablaze:)

Well, my nose went on strike today and decided to run away..:( so to catch it back i took piriton, because it seemed like the allegy kind, though allegy to what i have no idea. Anyway, all those people out there who took piriton before would know that Mr Piriton, though so small and pale yellow in colour, is POWERFUL stuff. One pill and you'll be horizontal making big Zzzzzzzzs for quite a while, haha. So i didn't manage to do anything much in the morning and afternoon, humph:( I'm way behind my planned schedule:(:( now im still feeling a bit weird, haha.. Anyway, Mr Piriton does teach us something though...God can use small and short people( like me, who stands tall and proud at 151cm) to bring about big changes, yay!:)

ESPECIALLY FOR: MY DEAR FRIENDS OF 4E AND ALL NON- CHRISTIANS OUT THERE
IMAGINE: You are walking in a desert...perspiration drenches your face..the sunlight pierces through your skin, at times blinding you..the stiffling heat is overbearing, and as you drag your tired self on, suffering of thrist and hunger, and you wonder why you bother to continue living..life to you has become meaningless.. its all a vicious cycle...you walk aimlessly and endlessly, just to find yourself following your own footprints of the previous day..serveral vultures trail behind you, their glare is fixed on you...you cry out in agony, but not one seems to hear or see you..all hope to you is lost...
Or so it seems..
Suddenly, you see a trickle of water flowing right beneath your feet..could it be? you wonder whether it is a mirage, but as the trickle turns into a small stream, you start to believe, and you follow that stream...and as the stream gets wider, you see a shape in the distance..you start running to it, and what lies before you is a mountain in all its splendour. Out of this mountain flows streams of fresh spring water. You drink from the stream, and the water is as sweet as ever. The vultures disappear..You stare in amazement..how could it be? But the mountain still stands there, as majestic as ever...
Do you believe?
Do you believe that just as there was a mountain in the desert, God can do the impossible?
Do you believe that just as fresh spring water flowed out of the mountain, God is giving you an
opputunity to drink from His well?
Do you believe that just as how all hope is lost in the dersert, God has put that mountain of hope to restore your broken life and give you the hope that you need to start life afresh?
Do you believe that God can erase that past that huants you, just as vultures do in a dersert, and give you a new life?
Do you believe?
Believe it.
Believe that God is real.
Because in John chp 3:16 it says:" For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." God loves you so much, that he sent his son to die for YOU.
Believe that God can do the impossible.
Because in Isaiah 49:19 it says;" See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not percieve it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland."
Believe that God wll always be there for you, through the thick and thin.
because in Psalms chp 23:4 it says:" Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me."
Believe it.
Now you have a choice. The mountain represents God. He will always be there when things seem impossible to solve. Now you can choose to run to that mountain where you can seek shelter from, or you can just treat it as a mirage. The choice is yours.
If you have chose to believe that God is real, and you believe that Jesus came down and died on the cross to take away your sins and then rose again, say this with all your heart:
" Dear Jesus,
I believe you are tha Son of God and that you gave your life as a payment for the sins of mankind. I believe you rose from the dead and you are alive today in heaven preparing a place for those who trust in you.
I have not lived in a way that honours you. Please forgive me for my sins and come into my life as Saviour and Lord. Help me grow in knowledge and obedience to you.
Thank you for forgiving me. Thank you for coming into my life. Thank you for giving me eternal life. Amen." ( prayer taken from stories for the extreme teen's heart)
If you prayed that prayer, CONGRATULATIONS, the angels are rejoicing in heaven now. If you have not, God will always be waiting for you to accept Him:)

" Dear Jesus,
I believe you are tha Son of God and that you gave your life as a payment for the sins of mankind. I believe you rose from the dead and you are alive today in heaven preparing a place for those who trust in you.
I have not lived in a way that honours you. Please forgive me for my sins and come into my life as Saviour and Lord. Help me grow in knowledge and obedience to you.
Thank you for forgiving me. Thank you for coming into my life. Thank you for giving me eternal life. Amen." ( prayer taken from stories for the extreme teen's heart)
If you prayed that prayer, CONGRATULATIONS, the angels are rejoicing in heaven now. If you have not, God will always be waiting for you to accept Him:)
