to my family in Christ...

i cant slp.
prob due to the caffeine- the milk tea i had with my sis.
i had lots of late nights recently.
either assignment, projects or with people.
mainly 3 people in my life currently- my sis, t, f.

well, each, i believe need someone at this pt in their life, whose reasons should be kept confidential so i won't be explaining it here.

i'm glad to avail myself to them as well. as they choose to share their lives and struggles with me, i grow too, for being so helpless with their struggles... and trusting God all the more for them to live a happy and meaningful life.

sth i thought interesting: i learnt in dover park hospice that everyone has a spiritual component in their lives but not everyone is religous. spirituality is to be in harmony with God, themselves and people ard them... thats what most researchers define. To me, that is: to be in a RELATIONSHIP with GOD, our creator and friend. He is the reason of my existence and everyone's and everything's else existed bcos of him.

Genesis
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
2 Now the earth was [a] formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.
... ... ...
27 So God created man in his own image,
in the image of God he created him;
male and female he created them.

anw, back to my life. 3 things (bolded)-
1) pls pray with me acc to Col. 3:23 “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men.”- i'm struggling. VERY unmotivated to study... may God be my motivation.

2) pls pray with me acc to 1 cor 9:24 "Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last; but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. Therefore I do not run like a man running aimlessly; I do not fight like a man beating the air. No, I beat my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize."- i'm struggling being discipline with God's word and being in fellowship with God's family.

thanks bro/sis for praying! =)

Hebrews
23Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. 24And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds.

my own reminders (you can ignore):

-val, kids p. team

Stay close to God =)

Relationship with God...
starts with proximity (asking Jesus to cleanse us from sins, inviting Him in your life),
grows with communication (prayer),
stretches with knowing and understanding (bible reading, christian friends, church),
progresses with trust which translate into faith acted out in obedience (worship)
and
always abound in love.
God is love.
Love never fails.

Relationship with people...
starts with proximity (collaugues/classmates/finding out the best time to bump into that someone at a certain place, etc.),
grows with communication (talk via msn/fb/phone/meetups),
stretches with knowing and understanding (read that someone's blog, ask friends abt that someone, be with that someone when he/she's with her friends/family),
progresses with trust or stagnated with mistrust.
and
abound in love or end with hurts.
God is love.
Love never fails.
Thus, people need God.
