what is your one thing.

recently i've been struggling to keep my head afloat amidst the waves of life. and i think i've been thinking and focusing on everything that i shouldn't. i feel as though i'm being chained to negativity, because i can only go so far with that limited optimism. but yeah, life goes on for me.


happened to read 'the freedom in Christ' today. and i guess in a way, its a reminder of what i'm (we're) called to do anyway:

People are unreasonable, illogical and self-centred.
Love them anyway.

If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives.
Do good anyway.

If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies.
Succeed anyway.

The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow.
Do good anyway.

Honesty and frankness makes you vulnerable.
Be honest and frank anyway.

The biggest people with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest people with the smallest minds.
Think big anyway.

People favour underdogs but follow only top dogs.
Fight for the underdogs anyway.

What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight.
Build anyway.

People really need help, but may attack you if you help them.
Help people anyway.

Give the world the best you've got and you'll get kicked in the teeth.
Give the world the best you've got anyway.


anyways, here's something i picked up from pastor HS. whenever i'm faced with a day where everything just has to go wrong (in other words a bad day), i will go out and buy myself ice-cream. yes, ice-cream makes me happy, and it will serve as a reminder for me that still there is (at least) one good thing in every bad day; and of course that God is good!

so right now, i'm extending an invitation to anybody or everybody that feels bit down lately, to join me for ice-cream session this coming 30th July at Baskin Robbins or wherever lah. i can provide transport as i'm classless on thursdays. and even if no one wants to go, i would still go and treat my self alone. =)


on a side note,
last weekend was kind of.. intriguing. a question was raised "what is your one thing in life, that God has called you to do?"

i would really like to know.

john 16:33

Your mercy found me,
Upon the broken road,
And lifted me beyond my failing,
Into Your glory,
My sin and shame dissolved,
And now forever Yours I'll stand.

In love never to end,
To call You more than Lord,
Glorious friend.

So I throw my life upon all that You are,
Cause I know You gave it all for me,
And when all else fades,
My soul will dance, with You,
Where the love lasts forever.

And forever I will sing,
Lord forever I will sing,
Of how You gave Your life away,
Just to save me, Lord You saved me.

With You, where the love lasts forever.



"These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world."

he'd do anything to see you smile

Unforgettable, that's what you are
Unforgettable though near or far
Like a song of love that clings to me
How the thought of you does things to me
Never before has someone been more

Unforgettable in every way
And forever more, that's how you'll stay
That's why, darling, it's incredible
That someone so unforgettable
Thinks that I am unforgettable too


this song never fails to make a bad day, better. =)

hope

You crown the year with Your goodness,
and Your paths drip with abundance.



life/the world disappoints; but the Word reappoints.
