Twinkle Star...

MAYDAY! MAYDAY! it's Grace's birthday... *heh*

i started my day super super tired. still not very used to waking up so early - especially when i only do so once a week... actually had to eat sour plums to wake myself up! didn't sing in the choir today, just think i wasn't up to it yet. missed the quartet's performance last sunday... but the "GPC lady trio" (m, j and joan) performed today during 730 service... oh boy, were they good! i recorded their performance - totally cool...

evan led the sunday school worship, she shared about the things christians have to overcome in countries where we can practice our faith freely. *hmmm* i think that this statement says it all (roughly):
"In Russia, christians are tested through HARDSHIP,
in America, christians are tested through FREEDOM;
and the test through FREEDOM is tougher."
i always thought that having to go through persecutions and suffering is hard and only those who are really strong can bear the name of Jesus in times like that. no doubt, it is tough. but being a christian in our democratic society is tougher... there are just too many distractions in this world. and when we are not forced into a situation, we tend to take the freedom we have for granted. we will fall short of His glory eventually if we continue to be ignorant, busy and "bo chap"... time to rethink our faith. take time out and be still. listen to what our Father in heaven has to say.

auntie Ing Hai approached me after service, she asked me if i would like to go for the cambodian mission trip... (my heart was like - "of course! i want to go! but...") then she continued by saying that she can help me write in a letter to the school to be excused for that period of time... that there will be CIP points... (really???) i really don't know... almost gave up hopes of going for future mission trips because of the difference in school holidays. i know that i have to be patient when it comes to things like that... and i know that God will provide a way out... BUT could THIS be the way out? could THIS be the answer to my prayers? should THIS be regarded as more important than school? is God trying to say something? reality says that studies is more important than any other things. could this be what God wants me to do? *agrhhhhh* need to give an answer by this week. any advices? please pray for me...

the weather today is just simply. disgusting. it's so hot that it makes me feel like i'm melting...
tried hard to stay awake by crapping a lot in class... the atmosphere in class was ... lame.

And 'lame', is, an understatement.. Heh. Anyway, I don't think it is likely you'd be allowed to skip school. If God wills, you'll always have the chance to go for trips. Same goes for me.. I've never been on one yet! :(

dunno... but i really wanna go. especially after going for the first one - you'll just want more! it's this desire that God has placed in me... can't fight it.
