Recently something happened tat made me think of how i handles my frenships. n i wonder whether i'm doing it the right way...or is there a right way to do things with regards to this issue?

i realised i plan alot of outings. as in, i take the initiative. i lyk meals. having a get-together wid my cliques b4 we dis-band. is lyk to commemorate something..tat once, we were close. to have tat memory etched in our minds. to re-connect back tgt and to catch ups. to have a fun n relaxing time, having the memory tat though we met under academic circumstances, we did have the non-academic and fun side when we crossed paths.

yet, through it all, organising and attending these things do have a sacrifice on me and those involved. our time, energy and study/revision. well, okay. i shld say thanks to all who were willing to accept my invitation to go out wid me and giving me your time and energy. hmm. but still, is this how i shld deal wid my frenships? puttin them first b4 my studies? i always think they are more impt since it is frenships/relationships tat last n not the qualification cert. hmm...

perhaps the key is to balance and not swing to the extreme. then, pray tat i will not step over the line and "go too far"....

okay..suddenly feel lyk toking abt my spiritual life...well, have to be more disciplined in praying. yes. i muz. can't let other things over-throw prayers.

got a devotional material recommended by Gloria called Our Journey. she said it's more teens-like. so trying out. every page is coloured. n though the length of passage is longer compared to Our Daily Bread, i have to keep telling myself to press on and to finish reading it. cos i muz train myself up to read long devotional passages already. goin to be a young adult soon. so far, been not too bad.

was reading abt the verse on do not be anxious abt anything...the material toks abt worry too and how worry hinders us frm doing wad's impt. indeed, it reminded me of wad nic went thru wid us b4 he left. frm matt 6:33, we can see tat there are real challenges tat God wants us to pursue but worry stops us frm doing so. amen to tat!

n in kah hwee's email, she pointed this out too. wow. got lots to pray for abt the youth ministry. i muz pray abt tat too...mm. have to be a dilligent worker already..

n though it's hard to face so-and-so again, but after reading the email tat uncle clarence sent, i think i really shld go and not run away. i dunno how the turn-out wld be like but i do hope it's something tat God will use for the good...

got an email frm eleena tat i sent to several of u..it's awesome. initially, it came to me abt christians who ain't really growin/goin to chr. i dunno why. but only a christian wld carry the cross. but all those cutting off the bottom of the cross jus makes me think of short-cuts. tat we jus, u know, skip bible classes, cell group, church services. then, when trouble comes, when u nid to cross over, u dun have a strong enough relationship and foundation of His Word. well, the bottom line tat was given (tat was meant to be) is tat no pain no gain and that there will always be a reason for tat pain/work... below is the comic strip..pls also note tat on 18/9, i have 2 posts. the other one is aft the comic strip...
