hey. been a few days since i last posted eh? well. i do have a few things to say. hope i can do it fast. had a great time-out ytday! cycling to bukit timah hill, park bike there, walk up the hill to the summit. take photos. chats on the way down. cycle back at lyk 6plus close to 7pm. well, jus wanna say thanks for giving me new perspectives to things. n i tell u, it's ever so nice to be able to chat n tok to you..be it crapping/randomness or real serious discussions. hope quin can join us nxt time! more ppl, more fun! well, the trip up to the hill was tiring. din noe there were so many up-slopes. den i cycled till my knees hurt n looked swollen. den, i had to dismount n push the bike up. boo. then, the seat was too high so my lower back aches. n u noe my lower back is weak. sigh. but thank God it ain't hurting now. jus my arms. haha. wad an exercise!

well, i keep having so many battles these days. over the same issue. every morning, i wake up feeling down n out n upset. jus now i told myself it was enough. i'm crazy. i'm lyk bouncing up n down. convicted for one moment, den falling the nxt moment. wad's wrong wid me?! i hope i'm not returnin back to square-one. then, i decided to read all my previous entries tat i blogged n hopefully will be able to identify wid some of them n gain some encouragement. yes. indeed, i had. some. esp when i write abt God's Word. ps 13, provb 3:5-6. God's character tat He is responsible n will direct my path. in His own time n His own way. hope. run TO God n not from Him. yea. it was really encouraging for me. n yes, Lord, indeed, i dun wanna keep falling. n most certainly not go back to where it began.

was reading the QT passage ytday n it was nice. 2Cor 3:1-11. key verse 5. it concluded by telling us tat in God's strength we find all we need to navigate the storms of life in this turbulent world. indeed, how true it is. so no matter wad, must rely on God n not on our own understanding n our own way. not imaginin things n devising plans without first consulting God. well, yes. u can devise plans, we have to be planners also n not sit n lay back, but also, muz not forget God n check whether the intentions of the plans are aligned wid God's. hmm. i dunno where i got this from but i rmb tat someone taught me this principle when i was younger n it had been etched in my mind cos i cldn't understand tat passage in Matt 5/6 tat toks abt this. here's an interesting poem:

All that I need He will always be
All that I need till His face I see
All that I need through eternity
Jesus is all I need

i was reading this book on parent-teen conflict the other day n learn quite a no of things. n i apply them not jus to parent-teen but to friend-friend conflict!

1. conflicts can have positive outcome. something different from the norm thinking. some positive outcomes include a better underestanding, new ideas, mutual respect, healthier rs n fresh perspective. quite true! yea. din noe abt this.
2. where there is an absence of conflicts, it's not always a healthy sign. it also reminds me tat if most thing seems to be smooth-sailing for you most of the time, it most likely means you are travelling wid the crowd n not against it. goin wid the flow...not following Jesus close enough. because you know tat Jesus is not of the world. so when we follow Him, we are bound to meet conflicts wid the world's values. yet, if there are very few conflicts, something's not right. the devil is always getting at us. so no conflict implies devil has the upper hand. hence, no conflict is not always a healthy sign
3. the most impt thing is learning how to handle conflict not avoid them. don't fear conflict but use them as opportunities for learning :)

yup. tat's all. it's interesting n an eye-opener. shifted my perspective from avoiding conflicts totally, nibbing it right in the bud, to learning to handle it instead n transform it into opportunity for learning.

on the last note, jus wanna say tat u've always been in my prayers..every night..
