Another very tumblr-esque post
The cross
I've always wondered why a cross was called a cross...
isn't that an odd name?
( I mean... there are a lot of odd names in this world...like strawberry....Straw + berry?....Butter + fly? and so on)
( I mean... there are a lot of odd names in this world...like strawberry....Straw + berry?....Butter + fly? and so on)
But now that I think about it. The cross is pretty appropriate in this case.
The cross is some kind of crossing over of two segments perpendicularly...an intersection I guess.
And it comes hand in hand with the gospel no?
Jesus came and became the bridge between a lost humanity and its Father in Heaven.
Because of the cross, we can actually cross over.
yup.

This song.
Satisfied In You
I have lost my appetite /And a flood is welling up behind my eyes/ So I eat the tears I cry/ And if that were not enough/ They know just the words to cut and tear and prod/ When they ask me “Whereʼs your God?”/ Why are you downcast, oh my soul?/ Why so disturbed within me?/ I can remember when you showed your face to me/ As a deer pants for water so my soul thirsts for you/ And when I behold your glory/ You so faithfully renew/ Like a bed of rest for my fainting flesh/ I am satisfied in you/ When Iʼm staring at the ground/ Itʼs an inbred feedback loop that brings me down/ So itʼs time to lift my brow/ And remember better days/ When I loved to worship you in all your ways/ With the sweetest songs of praise/ Why are you downcast oh my soul?/ Why so disturbed within me?/ I can remember when you showed your grace to me/ As a deer pants for water so my soul thirsts for you/ And when I survey your splendour/ You so faithfully renew Like a bed of rest for my fainting flesh/ I am satisfied in you/ Let my sighs give way to songs that sing about your faithfulness/ Let my pain reveal your glory as my only real rest/ Let my losses show me all I truly have is you/ Cause all I truly have is you/ So when Iʼm drowning out at sea/ And your breakers and your waves crash down on me/ Iʼll recall your safety scheme/ Youʼre the one who made the waves/ And your Son went out to suffer in my place/ And to tell me that Iʼm safe/ Why am I down? Why so disturbed?/ I am satisfied in you
Before I forget...
Some quotes from church or books I've read ("been reading" would be more accurate)
"We are most in danger
when we think we are self-sufficient."
"Our strengths create competition,
but our weaknesses create community."
but our weaknesses create community."
"Christians. like snowflakes, are frail,
but when they stick together they can stop
traffic."
Ohh yeah...
Ohh yeah...
we montrealers understand that pretty well.
(the snow-stopping-traffic part I meant)
"God is most glorified in us
when we are most satisfied in Him
in the midst of our suffering."
when we are most satisfied in Him
in the midst of our suffering."
Jesus is worthy of all our trust,
all our plans and dreams,
and all our affection.
He is worth losing everything for,
because He is worth it.

I think we human beings....
we like to ask a lot of questions.
And then without even waiting
for an answer to be formulated
we get impatient.
Frustrated.
And then we ask God "Why?"
←This.
Those words.
All you need to know.
JESUS
is the answer.
So let's stop asking "why" and be
faithful.
For He never fails.
For He never fails.

Dude. You got it en plein dans le mille.
"Then you will know the truth,
and the truth will set you free."
John 8:32
As for myself.
After years of scrambling through life
I've come to understand a little bit
of my freedom.
God gave us freedom.
Freedom to wander away from Him.
Freedom to choose our own ways instead of His.
He never stopped us.
We were free.
And then the greatest freedom comes
when we can choose to come back to Him.
In our ugliest and most undesirable state.
And we have the freedom to know
even with our little faith
even with our little faith
that His door will always be opened.
Always.
Because of Love.
[Ok, yeah... maybe I'll have to reformulate all this in a few years again. Nighty.]
P.s: Keeping a journal is not only therapeutic.
It is also a means to keep in touch with your walk with God when you look back and read them with a sense of..... embarrassment. But guess what. It's a readable proof of how you've grown and how God has been working in your life! I'll may or may not post some extract here.....
March break/reading week
[Warning: This post mostly consists of random blablatage. A one-way conversation soliloquy that could translate as a biary....blog-diary....get it? But i guess i'm also talking to YOU! yes you. ]
scratch the reading week. March BREAK.
I only opened it to verify that everything was there
scratch the reading week. March BREAK.
As for me...didn't do much...
Went for sushi, dim sum and went to some expensive fancy/schmancy italian restaurant that was....no comment.
TO food....I want.
TO food....I want.
However I did get a rose from a friend's friend for woman's day the other day!
(not that it has anything to do with food...)
I'm drying up the rose to immortalize its prettiness <3

And I thrifted a temporary desk today for 14.50$
Ever since I started re-styling my boudoir last summer....
I've gone desk + bed frame bankrupt-ed.
So I've been sitting on the floor and using my bed (or mattress) as a "desk"....
"Temporary desk" because I'm still hunting for THE one.
Yeah I'm a bit of an interior freak.
Not going to reveal it now though cause it's still in that just-got-into-my-room-so-it's-just-plain-and-ugly phase.

I recently sold my stethoscope online.
I just wanted to hold on to it...
for no particular reason.
It was just cool to have it.
Adieuuuuuu
.
.
.
But selling that allowed me to...
receive my first ever dvdheaven parcel!
(it paid for more than half of it?)
I had to go get it at the post office
so i feared I had to pay some custom fees...
but pfiouuuuuuuuuu.

| peacefully couched on its furry throne! |
I only opened it to verify that everything was there
Although the package doesn't look in perfect shape
What is in it is in immaculate condition!
Why did I order from dvdheaven and not from yesasia/kpoptown/kpopmart
1. It comes directly from Korea
2. Counts on the music charts (and so does the other website...oh well)
3. It IS a bit cheaper when ordered in bulk (save around 20-25$)
[but you have to be very strategic with what you order and work around the weight of your items because shipping cost depends on that aspect]
(yesasia would cost around the same for small orders and kpoptown/kpopmart...just overly more expensive)
4.They have an open Q&A forum in which you can complain as much as you want
and the customer service comes back to you pretty quickly (in ENGLISH)
5. They also sell cosmetic? (Missha/Etude House)
.
.

So...Why haven't I opened my package?
Well...what is the rush? hahaha
Also because i'm still in the process of trying to figure out
where to store display them?

gyeah.
p.s : All of the above can all be categorized in the "entertainment" section.
Idolatry is when you put something/someone before God.
And how I try to evaluate that is by looking at where I spend my time.
How do I spend my time. What do I do when I have spare time.
Don't let worldly things take over your life.
Then your own desires and hopes and dreams will become idols
thus sinning by not putting God first.
God is worth our everything.
This is a constant struggle.
A daily battle.
However.
I'm not alone
(I guess this summarizes bible study during fellowship and Sunday school today?)

In class....
I am listening to my prof!
She just said (which she quoted from somewhere)
She just said (which she quoted from somewhere)
"God Himself will not judge us until the last day. (Judgement day)
Then who are we to think that we can judge everyone now?"

At the holy mountain of the Lord,
all war and strife will cease...
At the holy mountain of the Lord,
creation will be at peace.
Some things are just meant to be shared! =]
"When a woman is giving birth,
she has sorrow because her hour has come,
but when she has delivered the baby,
she no longer remembers the anguish,
for joy that a human being has been born into the world."

Life doesn't always have to be complicated

Gyeah
We are grateful always...
Because our whole life is a gift.
(Have to practice gratefulness over and over and over again until gratefulness becomes the life we live.)

Godly romance
Myth A: Search for your one and only soul mate
This is logically insane! Think about it. The entire world could end up being paired with the wrong person because you picked the wrong “one”. This mentality also sets you up for a wild goose chase all over the world to find the right person. There is not one, but many that fit the same characteristics.
Myth B: Your missing piece will complete you
This is a terrible idea. This one single relationship will not make you whole. It is but one part of your life, and placing that much emphasis on your significant other is foolish. It is a recipe for disaster to place all of your desires, hopes, and dreams on one person. Don’t do that to anyone – that is too much pressure! One plus one equals one in marriage. You need to be whole (not half) before you enter into marriage.
Myth C: Mr. Right (Ms. Right) is waiting for you
This is highly unlikely. This type of thinking fosters a posture of passivity until you receive a “sign”. You should be intentional when choosing with whom you want to grow old! Marriage is not a decision that is left to chance. You process, pray, and then take obedient action! Do not sit around waiting for the right person and a perfectly timed shooting star… this leads to frustration!
Truth: These myths are an echo of our first love
Jesus is the only one that is your true soul mate. Jesus is the only one that is your missing piece. Jesus is the only one that is waiting for your affections. Media has done a great job of twisting our first love into lesser loves. Reach out to the first love, and all other loves will fit into place.
