Hey..Guys(including girls who are reading).. i sure 'MOST' of us attented the Youth service today.. right? Anyway, i sure at least 70% of you all hate school.. why? Some may ask.. the reason why >>I<< think we school is because of HOMEWORK, PROJECTS, EXAMS, TEACHERS, WAKING UP IN THE MORNING and EVEN FRIENDS as well. Just want to share my personal testimony, i used to hate school because of ALL that reasons above ^^^^^^
Ya.. and for the past 2 years in secondary school(having that perspective of thinking) i really suffered. And all these burdens i have, even caused pains and hurts to everyone around me, well in church i ALWAYS tell Matthew how much i hate school life when i see him. And in school the attitude was way worst then i could describe, and i really suffered in such a way that people started hating me. And the way they treated me was really really painful..
So during the holidays(2004), many people had been telling me from time to time again that i should change my prospective of thinking.. Well.. as most of those who REALLY REALLY know me well, will know i am super stubborn against studies. But just through a song and a verse it really changed my thinkings.
Before i review what happen, how many of us love God? Truely? It talks about us laying down our lives to God.. then followed by someone saying that, "If you are going to hate studies, you are actually hating your life, and if you are hate your life, it means you HATE GOD!"..i asked myself at that point of time, "Do i love God, Lord, JESUS?" Should i continue to hate studies and HATE JESUS, after all He has done on the Cross for me. And if God has place you and me here in Singapore, this means that we (yes you!) have a mission that has to be accomplished!
And we are so fortunated to have studies in Singapore and with many advanced technology in Singapore, countries like India, Indonesia, Thailand and even China..these countries only allow a few children to study only! So let's give thanks for our lives in Singapore. And set a Christ-like example in school and let it be NOW! YES NOW! LETS NOT WAIT NOW ITS THE TIME!!! Also remember do your best and God will do the rest and also pray for yourselves to persevere and to give all your HOPES to Him and HIM ALONE!!! AMEN!!!
The first week of school.. not bad.. kind of weird actually.. I really just want to thank God for putting me in a class with the trouble makers.. when I first found out I was going to be with them, in my heart and mind saying," DIE LAO LA..." Why do I have such thinking. Because of the past two years with them.. problems always occur, but now I see that things change. The were just minding their own
business, this showed me that God can really change people like them. I mean I confess that I didn't really pray for them, and I even didn't even invite them for web.
I learn two things from this, one: God answers our prayer, so have Faith in Him. Two: I shouldn't judge others, and they are still God's children. Well pray for me in this kind of thing, also that I will be more patient, understanding, more loving to others and to forgive.
Ohya.. Just want to share something(Sorry Sarah), ok.. as most of you should know that Sarah came into my school, on the first day, she called to meet up with her to pray for the school, she also told me not to laugh at her. So I waited for somewhere in the school, and when I saw her, I laugh out loud (actually not loud..hehe..). Her face totally turn red(like tomatoes), the actually thing I was laughing is not her in the uniform.. I laugh at her cause she looked ok in the uniform but she said it was horrible.. (everybody must thinking LAME jan..) I know I'm lame..hehe..I mean I look worst in my uniform lo.. and with my stupid haircut I had..(my mom was there..)
I still can't believe that she is in my school..err.. never mind.. hmm.. I don't know why almost everybody in my school loves basketball, even Sarah.. when she chose my school..wah..
Also..I don't know whenever I see the
Passion of Christ it is always happening in my school, why am I shock.. the fact
I hate school I mean not now.. when I see the students in my school I felt like crying, because.. they have not know Jesus, and I felt so responsible.. for living
the un-Christ like life, lets just say God has put this
Hope in all schools, as we are the chosen ones to set a change in the world.. so guys..(girls too) lets start with our classmates, then with our schoolmates. Don't judge by who you should bring to web.. bring them all.. For God LOVES EVERYONE single ONE.. So let rise-up by doing all this things for God, I pray that you'll have FAITH, COURAGE and strength. Have A Blessed Week...
