What is life?: June 2005

Miss, my heart does.

His words reduced me to tears. DO NOT covet. Yet, miss, my heart does.

"I've been in love before... ..."

"I've been in love before. I've been in love before... ..."

So says the lyrics...

Tiredness almost overcoming me. But,

Thinking... pensive.

Of almost nothing. But felt that I shld be doing something. What, I'm not sure. Perhaps jus not willing to go to bed... yet...

Listening... LUSH.

Feeling... like going with the flow... for now...

God, I thank You for everything. Thank you for being here, all these while. Loving me, and us -- my spiritual family. I've always spent lovely moments with them. God, I pray that as I grow in You, I'd gain wisdom in my choices, in things to say and do. Lord, I pray that my parents will be saved. (No more bingeing!) I pray that I could have the passion and love sufficient for the lost to chase after them. I die to my nature -- so that I'd not be doing the things I know I shldn't do, and doing the things the Spirit yearns. Thank You, for interceding, for praying, and making up for my loss of words... Lord, I ask that I'd be providing worthy guidance to the youths I come in contact with. And that I'd be singing to you, forever and forever. Let that never change, and no temptations shall overcome me. I pray protection over my sister, Junkang,

I shall remember to call Daniel Goh tmr...
Hmm. Supposed to email SA... er... email her wat ah... *thinks thinks *blank blank**

my Dad, my Mum, my grandma, grandpa, Richard, Lixia, Junqi (Lixia's son -- to meet peeps under Dan Goh)

I pray for warm relations at work. (Lots of shiny, positive ppl!) That procedures and processes will be smooth-flowing. That I shall learn in my environment, more skills, not easier job. And trust in Dad's provisions. As I tithe.

New beginnings, how true.

BE a LIGHT-BEARER. And a warrior. For You, Daddy.

Cheers.

What price? Happiness?

Ecclesiastes 2:26
To the man who pleases him, God gives wisdom, knowledge and happiness, but to the sinner he gives the task of gathering and storing up wealth to hand it over to the one who pleases God. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.

Ecclesiastes 2:25-27 (in Context)

25for without him, who can eat or find enjoyment?

26To the man who pleases him, God gives wisdom, knowledge and happiness, but to the sinner he gives the task of gathering and storing up wealth to hand it over to the one who pleases God. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.

Matthew 25:21
"His master replied, 'Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness!'

Matthew 25:20-22 (in Context)

20The man who had received the five talents brought the other five. 'Master,' he said, 'you entrusted me with five talents. See, I have gained five more.'

21"His master replied, 'Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness!'

22"The man with the two talents also came. 'Master,' he said, 'you entrusted me with two talents; see, I have gained two more.'


Matthew 25:23"
His master replied, 'Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness!'

Matthew 25:22-24 (In context)

22"The man with the two talents also came. 'Master,' he said, 'you entrusted me with two talents; see, I have gained two more.'

23"His master replied, 'Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness!'

24"Then the man who had received the one talent came. 'Master,' he said, 'I knew that you are a hard man, harvesting where you have not sown and gathering where you have not scattered seed.

I actually loved him. Let go. Let it go.

Am starting work tmr... er, haahha -- later today.

So kewl. Working SC. HEE. Near my house somemore. :D Wat more can I ask for?

A bit tentative tho, but Lord will lead me thru... I give u praise, Lord.

Have been sharing the Gospel with Lixi...

Ephesians 4:29
Let no unwholesome word proceed from your mouth, but only such a word as is good for edification according to the need of the moment, that it may give grace to those who hear.

-- Words that come out of one's mouth must be worthy enuff.

Proverbs 28: 13
He who conceals his sins does not prosper,
but whoever confesses and renounces them finds mercy.

-- As a leader, it shows a lot when yr self-worth and confidence comes from something deeper than knowing or thinking that you're always right, and you are able to apologise for your mistakes.

Proverbs 26: 13-16

13 The sluggard says, "There is a lion in the road,
a fierce lion roaming the streets!"
14 As a door turns on its hinges,
so a sluggard turns on his bed.
15 The sluggard buries his hand in the dish;
he is too lazy to bring it back to his mouth.
16 The sluggard is wiser in his own eyes
than seven men who answer discreetly.

-- If a person is not willing to work, he can find endless excuses to avoid it. But laziness is more dangerous than a prowling lion. The less you do, the less you want to do, and the more useless you become. To overcome laziness, take a few small steps toward change. Set a concrete, realistic goal. Figure out the steps needed to reach it, and follow those steps. Pray for strength and persistence. To keep your excuses from making you useless, stop making useless excuses.

Proverbs 27:6
Wounds from a friend can be trusted, but an enemy multiplies kisses.

-- Who would prefer a friend's cut to an enemy's kiss? Anyone who considers the source. A friend who has your best interest at heart may have to give you unpleasant advice at times, but you know it is for your own good. An enemy, by contrast, may whisper sweet words and happily send you on your way to ruin. We tend to hear what we want to hear, weven if an enemy is the one one who will say it. A friend's advice, no matter how painful, is much better.



As I came back from Lix's... heard this song on the taxi. Lovely song... as the chorus replayed in my head, and as the words formed in my mouth, and the tune in my throat... a strong feeling of nostalgia, and a realisation HIT me. It wasn't even our song, or anything.

He isn't even mine. evil. of. me.

Melody
歌手:陶吉吉 | 作曲:陶吉吉
填詞:陶吉吉, 娃娃 | 編曲:陶吉吉


終於明白你已變成回憶 
沒有言語能夠說明當別人問起
譜了一段旋律沒有句點 也無法再繼續

像埋伏在街頭的某種氣息
無意間經過把往日笑與淚勾起
忽然心痛的無法再壓抑 原來從未忘記

Melody 腦海中的旋律轉個不停 
愛過你 有太多話忘了要告訴你
Melody 無數動人音符在我生命 
愛過你 失去你我才知道要珍惜

當時無法為你寫的那首歌 
卻是我永遠的遺憾 當愛逝去
如果所有的錯重來一次 能否改變結局

終於落下休止符的那首歌 
我聽著每一個音符流過的回憶
為什麼在那麼多年以後 還不能說再見

Melody 腦海中的旋律如此熟悉 
愛過你 在我心裡只能輕輕嘆息
Melody 無數動人音符在我生命 
愛過你 失去你我才知道要珍惜

Melody oh Melody 我永遠不能忘記
你是多麼的美麗 讓這音樂一直不停響起
Melody oh Melody 我捨不得去忘記
我們快樂的過去 請別讓我從這夢境清醒

Melody 腦海中的旋律如此熟悉 愛著你 
求你聽我唱完這一段旋律 請不要離去

Melody 你是在我腦海不停的旋律 
愛過你 我的心裡只能無言嘆息
Melody 無數動人音符在生命裡 
愛過你 失去後我才知道要珍惜你

Let go. Let it go.

Proverbs 29: 1
A man who remains stiff-necked after many rebukes will suddenly be destroyed—without remedy.

-- Making the same mistake over and over is an invitation to disaster. Eventually people have to face the consequences of refusing to learn. If their mistake is refusing God's invitations or rejecting His Commands, the consequences will be especially serious. God may have to turn them away. Make sure you are not hardening your heart.
