If you ever loved somebody put your hands up.
Now they’re gone and you wish you could give them everything.

A new phase

Okay, so it's been about 3 months since I've been here.
It's been a roller coaster ride of emotions.
Having to choose between so many things.
Having to make decisions that will affect relationships positively.
It's been trying, it's been tough.
However, thank God for the patience he's given me.
Always, I've been asked, "so who's better? Them or us?".
And I always have to avoid it.
Oh well.
Just when I was starting to get accepted in the 3/4 cliques, this had to happen.
God sees the bigger picture, of course.
I've learned to accept that I'm a part of 7/8 now, but being part of a new region doesn't necessarily mean that I have to throw away old relationships.
I'm still trying to learn to find the balance.
Hope God continues to grant me strength in this.
All seems to be going good at the moment.
7/8 is great, but it's definitely not home.
I'm still waiting for the day that I can finally go home (:

Officially Missing You

Going through all photos of 2009-2010,

it suddenly dawned on me.

I won't be spending time with the people who mean the world to me on days like Christmas, regional youth activities, dinners, lunches, suppers, hangouts.

It's all changed.

Haven't felt the full force of it till now.

Sighhh, I really miss all the times we had.

Now it's all far gone.

Confused

That's what this generation is.

Voices

So many voices in this world.
Some tell you where to go.
Some tell you who you should be.
Some tell you what they want you to be.
Confusion sets in.
Doubt creeps in.
Amidst all these voices, who should we all listen to?
The voice of truth, of course.
Just because someone tells you to be something you're not, and though it may feel like that person's right, though it may seem like the right thing to do, just ask yourself, "Is that what God wants me to do?"
Yes, friends, we shouldn't always trust the voices we hear everyday.
Instead we should be still, wait upon the Lord, to hear His voice, through the Word, by worshipping Him, and of course in prayer.

A simple man believes anything, but a prudent man gives thought to his steps. (Proverbs 14:15)

And of course, the devil has a voice too.
And trust me, his words are always so luring, so tempting.
We gotta be wise to be able to detect that it's the devil's voice speaking.
Of course, when a temptation to do something bad comes, even if it may seem small, stuff like disobeying parents, etc, we gotta stop and question ourselves, and if your conscience starts to stir up in you, you KNOW that you're not doing the right thing.

But I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent's cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ. (2 Corinthians 11:3)

1 Corinthians 13 : 4-7

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
