cuteness! at prima revolving restaurant. grandpa's bdae!
OH im soooo dead! i have sch tom at 8 -.-" i already said that june is not a holiday... teachers even want to drag the time to 1pm! like hello! they're killing us.... anyways, im REALLY dead.. i did my fa.... but that was like long time ago when i dont want to study gp. hahas.. and let's say ive lost my transport notes so i cant do the tutorials..... this blog is just SO tempting that i must scribble something here at first! ((:
anyways, today's church was great!always is! as in the sermons and talks... yupps! i could really understand the sermon today and it has been a really encouraging one! ((: and i took it all down! yayys notes! ((: which reminds me to drag caleb to buy notebook with me! (: okays.. so today's sermon was about knowing our God.
I learnt that to really know our God, we must read our bible and understand Him through there.. to really understand Jesus we must esp see the gospel books.
To know God, we must forge a relationship with Him.
Knowing God is about knowing that His blessing of the gospel as gratefully came to me.. and for that, we must not keep it in our pockets but spread it to others.
Knowing God is about knowing about the inheritance and legacy that He left behind.. which is the gospel. and the bountiful glory of His name! the HOPE that we have in Him! that no matter what difficulty we have, when we cant go on walking.. isnt it comforting to know that we can still lean on our Father for hope! (((:
Knowing God is to know about the greatness of His power! and to really commit our plans and everything to Him that turns the tides.
How Great is Our God man! ((:
and when i was listening to the talk.. it reminded me of the song.. because pastor see said that He was willing to hang there on the cross for us even though He could just reject it!
hanging blameless on the cross
You Were There
By Avalon
I wonder how it must have felt
When David stood to face Goliath on a hill
I imagine that he shook with all hismight
Until You took his hand, and held on tight
'Cause You were there, You were there
In the midst of danger's snare
You were there, You were there.. Always
You were there when the hardest fight
Seemed so out of reach
Oh, You were there, You were always there
You were always there
So there he stood upon a hill
Abraham with knife in hand was poised to kill
But God in all his sovereignty had bigger plans
And just in time, You brought a lamb
'Cause You were there,You were there
In the midst of the unclear
You were there, you were there always
You were there when obedience
Seemed to not make sense
You were there, You were always there
You were always there
So haven't I learned that my ways
Aren't as high asYours are
And You alone keep the universe
From crumbling into dust
You are God
and though we would not have understood You
There You were
Hanging blameless on a cross
You would rather die than leave us in the dark
Every moment, every planned coincidence
Just all makes sense
With Your last breath
You were there, You were there
During history's darkest hour
You were there, You were there always
You were the Victor and the King
You were the power in David's swing
You were the calm in Abraham
You are the God who understands
You are the strength when we have none
You are the living,
Holy one
You were, You are
and You will always be
the Risen Lamb of God
You were,
You are
and You will always be
The Risen Lamb of God
AMEN~
[cont] oh anyways... yinjia's worship was.. hmms.. she has somewhat a theme! and she called me her bestest friend! haha dearest BIMBO! love you dear! ((: ohh! joyce became my loverrrr! haha.yinjia shared about having fellowship with the church peeps and really worshipping God as ONE body! and i do agree that the church peeps are really awesome awesome friends that you can be with! (: and that we must really treasure the ppl here...
i guess God was speaking to me then... because recently, ive not been THAT close to church peeps as last time.. and i find myself not quite the same too... if u guys know abt it..im still feeling awkward in church and i used to have the thinking that it wldnt be so bad because we only go church twice in a week... which is SUCH a wrong mentality come to think of it... can you believe that i ever thought abt leaving church even? man... i do agree tt church has many great ppl!! TP, serena, anna.....
and i guess this period of awkwardness.. weirdness.. lost.. confusion.. ive fd ppl that i can really depend on when i need someone to confide to... and im SO glad that through this, my friendship and trust with them has been closer! esp serena and joyce ((: seriously, friends are the best! they're simply God-given.
SERENA.. thanks for your ear.. and u dont know how good it is to have someone to share to and get advice in return!
and JARED! im surprised! ure a love guru?? hha. stop listening to cradle of filth! ure really turning satanic. *violence. jared stabs*
thanks for reminding me to SMILE for im CHUCKLES. *(:
oh and i gave gareth back his shirt... that is probably the last thing that i took from him. (took, notice, not the given ones) felt like i was throwing back my love for him. haha. wells... frankly speaking.. i have a weird thing for inanimate things.. and i didnt want to give back that shirt seriously.. but he also told me that we have to let go.. so i told myself.. elena, you must let go and live on! ((: so i grabbed the shirt n went to iron it... and tt's it! i hope its for the better...
ohh... and im not watching da vinci with them too... (ohh!! teck's talk today abt da vinci OWNED! he was DAMN good! and history does rock after all) hahas. so ya... i feel weird watching mov with them now... then i'll just keep comparing abt how it will change from the past.. the way we seat and all.. and i dont want to invite myself into this thinking.. so i'll rather aviod it.. so i guess it's justified with my own idea of it. hope its the right one.
Actually, when teck was sharing and jess was controlling the ppt... i was just thinking abt both of them... and i really really admire jess! she LED teck to church.. inspired him to be a christian.. jess can just be his role model of a christian.. and how he became a christian and is now fighting for his faith and empowering even more christians.. WOW. i mean that's wad real influence we must have on others.. and this is now our faith should go! jess and teck! you guys are strong. i know God is with u guys.. (:
oh anyways, after church was with my bro.. and he's such a genius! (: then.. had lunch with family.. and dad said that we such buy home to eat.. becuase its not everyday that elena goes home for lunch! i was equally touched and sad... i mean.. they're happy that i was there!! and i will try my very best to always go home for lunches now when chem tuition is postponed! ((: and elena promises to visit grandma and grandpa once they move house.(:
