mid week(sorta!) joys.

endured a painful day at school struggling to stay awake but failing every single time, handed studio in,cleaned my sty of a room and here i am now blogging, a routine that had set in almost subconsciously. if only i were that diligent when i comes to reading the bible daily.

but as i allow my thoughts to linger on, i am stopped short in my tracks by a nagging thought-- when, why, and how did reading the bible become one of those 'to do' items in my never ending lists? when, why and how did it become (even though i hate to admit it) a duty i had to fulfill as a christian?

how easy we forget, the significance of the bible and the word.

for, without it, can we possibly even dream of a relationship with God? and if the latter never existed, chances of even understanding the bible is zilch--why even the talk about how reading it might be a burden anyway?

off to put my thoughts into action--one down(thank God!) and another to go! (:

it's strange how you know the holidays are here when most of your friends start disappearing. perhaps having had the burden of meeting datelines removed, it's that sudden increase in spare time that makes that wistfulness well up in you even more.

something my friend said today that struck me. "well, it's good for us as christians, cos at least we know that God has already prepared that special someone for us." such faith that sometimes i simply dont have the courage to have. maybe if i knew for sure that say at 21 im going to get a guy that loves me for who i am and with whom im hopelessly in love with, maybe i would have been more confident of what to expect, of who i am, and of my faith. but thinking again, then that probably isnt faith anymore. surprisingly i came across this statement today. "faith is one that hands everything to God, confident in his character and purposes rather than our answers." how apt. faith is more than believing that every story will have a fairy tale ending, rather it's believing in the writer of the story that he will give each story a well ended conclusion.

a song, any song.

cruel to be kind - letters to cleo one of those songs that still dont make sense to me even though i read the lyrics a million times over. but i love it nonetheless, perhaps because of the smile that creeps onto my face everytime i think of the sweet scene between patrick verona and kat stratford in 10 things i hate about you . there's just something about romantic shows that always seem to get me, no matter how cheesy these moments might seem on hindsight.
