Doing it on PURPOSE
My BPS: To uphold a first Love relationship with God that will steer me

Spirit.My Values: Family ~ Character ~ Perseverance ~ Blessing ~ Failures
My Vision:
I wanna do something that matters, say something different
Something that sets the whole world on its ear
I wanna do something better with the time I've been given
I wanna try to touch a few hearts in this life
Leave nothing less than something that says I was here
Something that sets the whole world on its ear
I wanna do something better with the time I've been given
I wanna try to touch a few hearts in this life
Leave nothing less than something that says I was here

Dying...Are you?
Blog-reading a little while today got me thinking again...
Where has everybody gone to?
Too busy with school and studying?
Caught up with the never-ending pile of work from the office?
Or perhaps, a new chapter in life say being in a relationship?
Reminiscing those days back then when (almost) everyone (in church) wanted to hop on the blogging train because it seemed like the "in-thing" I guess. Then just like the saying that time will heal everything, time also wears off anything right?
One by one, friends ceased to update their blogs with posts and updates about their lives. Slowly but surely the names fade away* from the tag boards, the comment posts...I thought maybe real soon, I would just do the same and shut down my blog like most did or leave it to collect spider "web"...haha punny! spider web on the web...Okay never mind!
Brings me back to 1 thing I sorely need to do in my life...Devotion to God...
Going through recent chain of events and encounters only caused me to really pause, reflect and wonder where has my devotion to God gone to all these time? The kind of feeling like you're right next to your spouse but your mind was all along elsewhere say the office? Yeah right, who thinks about work after office hours right?
But I meant it. I'm in for greater woes and trouble if I persistently neglect this aspect of my life.
It's almost safe to say it's the foundation to one's journey of faith. I'm not painting the exact full picture here of receiving salvation and hence being grateful and all that, but perhaps after receiving the greatest gift in the world, surely that has to cause some kind of effect or change in the recipient's life?
Hence the need for a thorough self-examination is of utmost urgency. I can't imagine myself living day after day without this insatiable love for Jesus. I can't sing another lyric of a song claiming that I love Jesus or I'd give Him everything if I can't give 30 minutes of my 24 hours in a day to Him.
Realization of His Grace and Mercy, of His incomparable Love. Perhaps that's what I need. Focusing my life right again knowing that God will cause everything else to fall into its rightful place.

Into Your Hands I commit again
James 1: 2 - 8
Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him. But he must ask in faith without any doubting, for the one who doubts is like the surf of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind. For that man ought not to expect that he will receive anything from the Lord, being a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

Lord, teach me Your ways and to trust You in ALL things.
Right now I lay my words out
You've been on my mind without a doubt
Through the times of smiles and pouts
My heart is silent but inside it's screaming so loud

Love, the greatest of all...
Love, the greatest of all...

He died and rose again
This Easter is definitely going to be different from past years.
Well to start things off, SP has kicked off a week of reflective session in the evenings leading up to Good Friday and Easter Sunday.
Though I had to miss last night's session due to class, I thank God I came tonight.
And I will for the next 2 nights.
Simple. Quiet. No fancy stuff.
Just God and me (and others around of course).
Can't wait for tomorrow!
If Christ died for you, won't you live for Him?
