I guess this phrase is rather easy to say, but is one most difficult thing to do. It seems like all the time, we are always trying too hard(some not at all) just to "satisfy" our "needs" which are usually our wants and what we think as "needs".

I just find it really amusing to see myself getting stuck up with all these things too, always getting blessed by the service, giving myself a prayer commitment, surrendering unto God and all the cycle.. and when it comes the next day or week it all boils down back to the same old routine.. it is as if i have travelled to heaven to meet God and come back down to earth again..

Things i always do(and by order too):
-Complain
-Sleep
-Eat
-Say grace
-Study
-Talk to friends about some crap/jokes/teachers/each other?
-Get angry?
-Come back home, stay in front of the TV/Computer
-Nap
-Use the computer again
-Mother nags(tell you more later)
-Gets frustrated
-Quarrels(i will shout back..NOT A GOOD THING K?)
-Cold war
-Start studying/ doing up homework
-Sleep


I mean that really my mundane life, my REAL life at home. I got to admit i haven been doing my Quiet Time or even bother to just pray a little. Well, i have so called "quarreled" with God.. and can't seem to just speak to Him, face Him or even surrender..

Its kind of weird actually, over these past weeks.. He has really shown me how to self-control, see things more clearly and to even learn how to Give Thanks(one thing i TOO don't really do or understand)

He has clearly shown me through the happenings in other's life, taught me to encourage(one thing i'm really weak at) to even Give thanks for them.. for my own..

Its really funny, i get to see all these things happening on myself MUCH clearer now.. such things as i used to view my mom.. SHE REALLY NAGS AND SCOLDS sometimes just KILLING ME with words.. but.. now i see she cares, she hopes for the better, she is HELPING ME TO BE FOCUS TO STUDY.. to just even get away from this computer haha.=P i really give thanks for such a supporting family i have..the family that is uniquely created JUST FOR ME.. thats how SPECIAL i am to God!


And in school, many of you know i have LOADS and TONNES of COMPLAINS and faults to find with my teachers/ sometimes friends... But now.. what i see is a Hope.. a big Hope that would set these Zhenghua Students and Teachers in their eyes.. that they would remember for this Hope forever at the little corner of their hearts, whelther they want to accept it or not.. n that Hope is Jesus..

I was so blessed by my classmates making fun of me being God/Jesus/Priest/Pastor.. Not that i want to be those but.. its just show how much they want to know the Truth.. the Love that they just can't buy or find from anyway.. =) thank you 4E4=)

My teachers.. suddenly giving their best wishes for us.. to work hard.. saying sometimes we have Just Do It! Instead of stoneing away, planning or giving up..

One thing that i agree with my teachers, that is we SINGAPOREANs.. we like to COMPLAIN.. and we like to 'want this, want that..' so we end up being busy with that and have neglected for what is more IMPORTANT..

Had my O'level english oral on wednesday.. didnt really did what i had expected and planned during the REAL practice in the examination hall.. but i really give thanks.. (wana know more ask me..)

Also had my POA test, and Social Studies test today.. it was ok.. but.. i guess i sometimes forget to give thanks for the EXAMINATIONS helping us to be more CLEAR after all the "lectures"

Finally, i haven done this before.. give thanks for ALL my teachers..and even friends..


Let us learn to give thanks ya? =)


David's Psalm of Thanks
1 Chronicles 16:7-36

7 That day David first committed to Asaph and his associates this psalm of thanks to the LORD :

8 Give thanks to the LORD, call on his name; make known among the nations what he has done.
9 Sing to him, sing praise to him; tell of all his wonderful acts.
10 Glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice.
11 Look to the LORD and his strength; seek his face always.
12 Remember the wonders he has done, his miracles, and the judgments he pronounced,
13 O descendants of Israel his servant, O sons of Jacob, his chosen ones.
14 He is the LORD our God; his judgments are in all the earth.
15 He remembers [b] his covenant forever, the word he commanded, for a thousand generations,
16 the covenant he made with Abraham, the oath he swore to Isaac.
17 He confirmed it to Jacob as a decree, to Israel as an everlasting covenant:
18 "To you I will give the land of Canaan as the portion you will inherit."
19 When they were but few in number, few indeed, and strangers in it,
20 they [c] wandered from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another.
21 He allowed no man to oppress them; for their sake he rebuked kings:
22 "Do not touch my anointed ones; do my prophets no harm."
23 Sing to the LORD, all the earth; proclaim his salvation day after day.
24 Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous deeds among all peoples.
25 For great is the LORD and most worthy of praise; he is to be feared above all gods.
26 For all the gods of the nations are idols, but the LORD made the heavens.
27 Splendor and majesty are before him; strength and joy in his dwelling place.
28 Ascribe to the LORD, O families of nations, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength,
29 ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name. Bring an offering and come before him; worship the LORD in the splendor of his [d] holiness.
30 Tremble before him, all the earth! The world is firmly established; it cannot be moved.
31 Let the heavens rejoice, let the earth be glad; let them say among the nations, "The LORD reigns!"
32 Let the sea resound, and all that is in it; let the fields be jubilant, and everything in them!
33 Then the trees of the forest will sing, they will sing for joy before the LORD, for he comes to judge the earth.
34 Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever.
35 Cry out, "Save us, O God our Savior; gather us and deliver us from the nations, that we may give thanks to your holy name, that we may glory in your praise."
36 Praise be to the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. Then all the people said "Amen" and "Praise the LORD."
