they feel so once upon a time

“If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.” - Romans 10:9-10

It matters not how large or small
Your faith may seem to be;
What really counts is whom you trust
In life’s uncertainty. —Fitzhugh

Came across this short poem online and was reminded of a conversation with Shu Han on one of our interview visit car trips:

Exercising faith is like sitting on a chair. We have faith that the chair is able to hold us and not wobble and break, hence we sit on it. However, it's not because of our faith that we do not fall when we sit, but because of the stability and strength of the chair. If we have strong faith, the chair doesn't fall. If we have faith as small as a mustard seed, the chair doesn't fall. Even when we have no faith at all, the chair is still strong and stable.

Likewise, our faith in God does not determine how mighty our God is.
The fact is this -
Psalm 18:2 "The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer;
   my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge,
   my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold"

In the midst of uncertainty in this time and age, in a world that seems to be fading and dying physically and morally, in times of disappointment and times of joy, in a confused, directionless and faithless nation, we have all the confidence that the Creator of the world is still in control - our unshakeable stronghold - unchanging, everlasting.

as human, we like to say unneccessary stuff to spite others and bring them down
as human, we can be insensitive to how someone else is feeling
as human, we like to find something to blame.. anything but ourselves.
as human, we are selective about who we want to be nice to/ be patient to
as human, we can bear grudges for the longest time.
as human, we take people for granted.

as human, we need help. we need forgiveness.

note to self:
please keep mouth shut or stay away from people when tired or cranky.

   ²³ “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a tenth of your spices—mint, dill and cumin. But you have neglected the more important matters of the law—justice, mercy and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former. ²⁴ You blind guides! You strain out a gnat but swallow a camel.
   ²⁵ “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence. ²⁶ Blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and dish, and then the outside also will be clean.
   ²⁷ “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of the bones of the dead and everything unclean. ²⁸ In the same way, on the outside you appear to people as righteous but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness.



the sinfulness of man... causes pain..whether its doing something we ought not to do, or not doing something we ought to do. our selfishness and ignorance, our pride and insensitivity... how disgusting we can become sometimes.. many times.. without forgiveness, where will we be? 

i dont particularly have anything to talk about at the moment.
just feel like typing something HAHA.

God moves mysteriously and HE is ALWAYS working. we catch on to His actions and partner with Him to extend His love.
there's so much to be done.
i don't understand how i could have spent the past many hours on fb ):

if loving someone means wanting the best for someone, don't you think it's stupid if you expect that person to selfishly keep whatever's given to her all to herself?
so driving to jandakot way after my bedtime even though im going to school early the next day, just cause i feel like exploring some shopping place is totally reasonable while picking a friend up from the city when im on the way to somewhere is not. because im accountable to you, the way i spend my resources that came from you should be spent only on myself? geez man. i wonder who's being unreasonable. pig. pig pig pig pig pig. pfft.

our Father is working. He is ALWAYS working.
