Hm. Sunday was someone's last service. So a bit sad. Been 2 weeks since I've been to church, and the returning was a sad one. Joel was needed at the other side, so YanJun and James joined me. Had Holy Communion again, but with Pastor Steven gone, I can't go up anymore. Because I know only baptised people can receive the things, but I'm not. Pastor Steven would normally just pray for me, but other pastors gave us the things nevertheless. So I never went up=(
After service was supposed to be some rehearsal, but was called off. So we did a bit of things for Magnified. It's coming really soon, but I hope it doesn't end too soon. Haiz. Irony in life. I'm losing time to even blog, which explains the quality of recent entries. I'm enjoying the presence and the harmony, so let's hope time pauses there?
Dear Heavenly Father,
I sincerely commit myself in your hands. Father, I want to let you be the in charge of my life, so please take away whatever pain and agony I'm going through. Father, I know that you understand how I feel because like Logan said, you are close with your Son too, but you gave Him to us. On that day Jesus died on the cross for us, we were saved. Father, I just want to thank you for whatever happened and is happening, and Father, I also want to thank you for being merciful and giving us countless chances to keep trying no matter how many times we fail. Father Lord, I pray for a guidance, to tell me which way to go. Father Lord, I pray for you to take over all my emotions, and remind me that whenever I'm in trouble and whenever I try to do things on my own will, remind me that I've already committed myself in your hands. Father, I sincerely apologise for whatever sins I've committed; for whatever trust I've denied you; for simply neglecting you and trying to take all things into my own hands. Father, I'm praying all this and hoping that you will grant them to me. Not according to my own will, but yours.
In Christ, Amen.
But time continued to advance. Did a bit of stuff in the room, trying to figure out how to make the stand, and I'm wondering how's it coming now. I will miss you... When other things were placed above me, I felf unfair. Then I look up into the sky, and realise the reason for me to thank. To find out the instant remedy of God's creation, to find the relief to even the greatest pain. The soothing white of the above which used to guide the people in the day. Widified the pupil became, and I was looking at the far far away. Somewhere distant and somewhere indescribable. Then perhaps I will feel your presence; that I'm not alone. Marvel at the marvels- who created the stars and know them by name; who created me and know me by faith. Who created the sky and recognise me by pain? Yes, Father. Thank you so much.
After that went out with Jocylyn and Lydia to Daniel and James' house. A journey neither long nor short, but definitely talked a lot. At least that managed to push something back. Finally we were there, and they were watching some weird shows. Hm... In the end got invited by the girls to Daniel's room for ladies' chat? Intimidating to be in a room full of girls arh. So the intro game was SSM? Does anyone know what's that? Quite novel to me. Then played Who-what-huh, Chucky Chucky Bang Bang, and animal concentration. Hm... Except the second one, the rest were fun. I like animal concentration! Penguin is fun, especially when so many people cannot do it=) Thanks girls for the fun!
After that went to Tampinese Mall to scour for that top I've been looking for, but to no avail. But manage to get a farewell pressie at least. That's that bah. That must have been the longest afternoon that I've ever had. Somehow, that afternoon was fun and enjoyable but yet doesn't fly. Thank God for that bah. At least He sees that I'm in great need of some soothings...
