Heya peeps! Hope ur enjoying school! Nearly holidays! yay! Well I just wanted to remind you and myself how blessed we are. The fact that we have a ever so faithful and loving God already makes us more than blessed- agreed? Well I reckon thats true. Did u know God even considers the poor more than blessed? - well thats cause they have that gift of Christ too.... anyway, there are so many things I could thank God for; a house, a school, a loving family, awesome friends, a great church.... the list goes on.
That really does leave us no good reason to complain about anything I guess..... Just be thankful for what we have, and life will be much happier for yourself, and others. :)
Today was an awesome day at school, where God really reminded me that he was in control of everything that happens in my life.
Well this is what happened; the usual school issues.... =.=
This sounds the same every time, its the same scenarios, but it shows how loving and faithful God really is.
I din do my hw..... again!! and there; teacher extended it AgaIN!! Today I was also feeling rather tired, so soccer training was canceled! yay! And my most feared part of the week; swimming tomorow for pe..... Its also canceled! yay!! God is great! I din even pray for him to walk with me, but he did anyway! Thankyou lord for your unfailing love that is never ending!
God is real, believe it.

Worship =)
Hi peeps! Yesterday at the fungus/101 meeting we explored worship in more depth. It was pretty awesome message and I reckon it was a breakthrough in many of our lives, as we worshiped God with more meaning and with sincerity. There are 3 ways that we can worship:
Firstly, we can worship God in words, like singing songs to him.
We can also worship God in the things that we do, by glorifying him and living our lives for him. I think this is the most challenging and best way to worship God, by actions, not only words.
And lastly, which is a rare occasion, when God appears before us and we worship because he is there with us. I mean he actually comes in a visible form or you may hear a voice that is actually real. Here we kinda have no choice but to worship him. He exposes himself to us, quite obviously, and changes our lives forever by securing our faith in him.
Long weekend!! yay! The queen is now cool because of that! ^^
Bye all! God bless!

Hi!
Hey peeps! Today i will blog about something that you can benefit from! I gonna try to quit facebooking... it consumes time surprisingly fast! gah! Stuff u facebook! lol...
As more mature Christians, we may sometimes think that the Ten Commandments which we learnt way back when we were little kids may no longer be relevant, but it is. I picked up a book I saw in my room that was for like 5 year olds and decided to flick through it. i was surprised how much i learnt from it lol. Lemme note some points I noticed:
1st Commandment: You shall have no Gods other than me:
Some of you may think literally bowing down and worshiping Buddha for example is breaking this rule. Well yes it is, but there is much more to it. I used to think it was a narrow limitation but it really includes playing too much computer or facebooking too much, and ur practically asleep when ur reading the bible and praying, then that is no good. It is putting other 'gods' before him and therefore breaking the first commandment. Seems weird eh? Well its easy to sin and it takes discipline to resist the temptation to do so.
2nd Commandment: You can't have any idols:
THis is kinda simmilar to the first commandment, putting things before God, rather than giving him your praise and the glory he deserves. Eg as before: Playing too much facebook.
3rd Commandment: Don't use God's name in vain
This is kinda straight foward, dont say 'oh my god'. Its amazing how many CHristians say that when they are pissed or as a reaction when they scared. Get out of that habit say something else, because you would be disrespecting God.
4th COmmandment: Remember the sabbath day and keep it holy:
MAny may think it means simply dont do work on the Sabbath, which I unfortunately do. Homework lah! But I think that that is ok, cause the word says not to do unnecessary work. Sunday should be a day where we honour the Lord and spend time with him. I really think i should try not to play games on that day....
5th Commandment: Honour your father and mother:
I think this may be a little struggle for some of you to honour your parents. Did you know honouring your parents is not only just being polite to them? It is more than that; it is obeying them and sincerely caring about them. Eg, you could honour your parents by offering them to wash the dishes. Obedience also slips into this category. Obedience is an extremely important thing. If you don't think so, now you know it is. Eg: Your mum says to sleep by 10. You only sleep at maybe 10.05. Don't hide it, tell your mum and confess. I am sure God will reward you for your obedience and your mum will just let it go.
6th Commandment: Thou Shalt not kill:
DOn't kill. It doesn;t only mean murder. Did you know bagging someone or racism is kinda considered killing? It kills them emotionally, not necessarily physically. \
7th commandment: DOnt commit adultery:
It refers to marriage and also other things. Don't marry and divorce your spouse for another man/woman. DOn't watch porn.
8th Commandment: DOn't steal
Stealing is many things. Not only is it maybe stealing money from someone, but cheating in a test is stealing. It steals their knowledge that you never had, undeserved marks for yourself.
Or maybe you get paid yo do chores around the house. You may be tired and cbs doing a good jon so u just rush it and take the cash= stealing.
9th commandment: DOn't lie
Telling lies range from many things. THose of you who believe 'white lies' are ok, well the bible says they are not. It is a lie nevertheless. Do you make commitments to God and forget about them and not keep them? Do you make excuses for things that you did that you try to escape from? These are lies even they may not seem like them.
10th commandment: DOn't want something someone else has.
I personally don't exactly understand it much myself, but i will try to explain what i think it is.
It means don't want skills someone else has, or a new ipod thta you friend just got. Focus on all the blessings God has given you and develop your life without comparing yourself to others.
These 10 commandments can be practically summarized into 2 commandments:
Love the lord with all your heart
The reason why this is one of the two most important commandments is because if you truly live God with all your heart, you would follow the other ten commandments. Eg: Dont lie, dont steal etc....
Love your neighbour as much as yourself:
THis is simmilar to the first one. If you loved your neighbour sincerely, you wouldnt steal from them, nor would u lie to them.
So then why should we follow these commandments?
SImply because God will reward us with various blessings if we remain faithful to him.
Long blog eh? Its surprising how many of these rules we break in our daily lives. Live for God and worship him in everything that you do! God bless!
