kindda weird that i'm still up at this weird timing.. i mean.. exams are over.. hmm.. oh.. Happy April Fool's day.. that is if you need it..
well..after blogging earlier on.. i was chatting with my teacher who is in aussie land now.. and she just love teasing me.. she must be so sad to be away in aussie.. Thank God for the internet.. haha.. oh well..
watched true courage earlier on.. and i must say Samuel Chong.. he is such a brave boy.. given the situation to me.. i probably shut myself of the world completely.. being called one arm boy.. being teased.. being looked at.. the struggles to face.. all for a boy aged 7.. how much can he take.. the fact that he had bone cancer.. the fact that chemo did not work.. the fact that his arm can no long bend.. the fact that he got to amputate it.. the fact that he got to learn to live with one arm.. the fact that he got teased.. the fact that he got looked at.. all these.. are just too much for a 7 year old child to take it.. but Samuel went through these trials.. went through this big hurdle in his life.. i would say.. even though he is 13 now.. i totally admire him.. he aint a hero to everyone.. but he is a hero to his family and to himself..
i wonder.. is true courage produced by a christian.. i mean.. pardon me for talking in jargon.. but.. it seems as though all these true courage episode are there to show how much faith these people have in God.. and how much God has answered their prayers.. i would say though samuel's faith in keeping his arm alive was dashed.. but God made him a stronger person.. and Samuel is now able to encourage people.. putting aside christianity.. i would still say that there's a higher being within Samuel's spirit giving him the courage to move on.. the courage to be who he is now.. i am amazed.. marvelled.. and i seriously think that all of us ought to learn from this small boy the courage he have in facing trials in his life.. i mean.. who wont have trials in their life..
few days back.. i was chatting with ter.. and as usual we will touch on the topic on religion.. ter is a very nice guy to chat with.. and he actually help to sitmulate your brain cells.. haha.. well.. i read something on his comments on christianity.. he said he refuse to jump and hop during the church worship services becauseif he needed a work out.. he can jolly well do it in a gym.. he also made comments on how young the kids were worshipping God.. and he feels that its dangerous for they do not know what they are entering into.. he made so much comments that i just wanted to shoot back but dont know where to start.. is God so unreal? acknowleging the existence of a higher being aint good enough.. it really aint good enough.. jumping and hopping so to say in the church service during worship.. its an act of worship.. you dance and jump for joy.. expressing your joy and happiness for God.. you lift your hands to surrender everything to God.. but of cause.. you NEED NOT do it.. it depends on how you want to express your emotions.. you are FREE to do anything.. even sitting down if you feel that's the best way to worship God..
why do we worship God.. because you are created in the first place for fellowship.. but men has got to break this bond when we fall into sin.. you would say.. but Adam sin.. so well.. blame your ancestor-> Adam.. but all was salvaged when God sent his son to die on the cross for us.. why would God sent his own son to die.. because God still love us.. and the only way we can ever join him ever is when we are washed off our sins from someone who is righteous.. and that is God's son->Jesus.. i aint sure how to explain this part.. but from what my cell leader once told us.. we the people are God's gift to Jesus.. and since we have fallen.. its up to Jesus to salvage this.. *shrugs* it might sound weird.. it might sound impossible.. but its true.. why the gruesome death? This was a trick to SATAN that he won.. but in actual fact.. SATAN LOST because Jesus was risen from the dead.. what does this show.. this show our God is a living God..
then you might ask.. if so.. why din God stop diasters from happening.. do you know that these diaster though it took away lots of lives.. but.. it too open doors to missionaries to be able to spread the gospel to the people.. it too act as a living testimony for the survivals on how God was faithful.. in this life.. its no longer about why.. but just believe.. if he bring you to it he will bring you THROUGH it..
i'm at a loss as to what to type.. i'm sorry if some of you feel weird reading this entry.. i'm sorry if i sound over-zealous over my religion.. but.. correction.. it aint a religion.. its my relationship with God.. and he has shown me how real how powerful he is.. that is why i love him.. if you do not understand.. you are no one to judge.. you can have questions.. but DONT JUDGE.. you have not enter into such a divine relationship.. and so you do not understand.. but one day.. i believe you will be touched by the holy spirit.. i believe..
i better sleep.. meeting corrin edwin and joel at 9 for breakfast and its close to 4.. b-e-a-utiful..
