Today was different from other days.. I feel a cozy and the warm love of family and friends, i don't really know how to describe how I feel right now, but this dream I had last night kinda expresses how I feel now. =]
The dream had a few random parts that seem senseless to me, like having only 4 periods in school on Friday then go home! Haha! But there is this one part in particular that I remember. Not sure if it's from God, but it has value, so I guess it could be from God, haha, here it goes! :
I saw my self walking down a tunnel-like walkway, ok maybe it is a tunnel. Anyway, as I was walking I saw a few people that never really had any significant impact on my life. People that I don't think about so much. When I saw them I started thanking them for being in my life. As I was walking I said to myself, if not for the people around me, I would want to kneel down here and cry. It was that intense feeling of love I cannot describe.
Well, No One, No One, Is Insignificant, even if they don't seem to have any significant impact on my life. Now when I look at it, the greatest impact anyone can have on our lives is being in our lives. I also come to realise recently that if I want to learn to love people, I first have to love God. It's like, a domino, you love God, you naturally will learn to love people. Then God would teach us more about love when we meet our life partners.
(I did not intend to write what i'm gonna write but it links with what I just wrote so i'll just write what i'm gonna write HAHA! write right? right!)
I recently read this article of this man who went to Cambodia and to make a long story short, he quitted his job as a Hollywood star to commit his life to helping kids living in the dumps. Such profound love for the people. What if one day God calls me to travel the world or maybe even to stay in a less fortunate country to be a blessing? When I read that article I felt a calling to go on mission trip again this year. People reading this, please keep me in prayer about this! Praying for a confirmation on whether God really wants me to go on mission trip or not.
Ok this is something else I didn't intend to write:
I haven't been hanging out with my old friends I used to spend time with last time. And I recently come to realise that I really miss these people, so i'm gonna hang out with them soon! =]
I really miss the going out, doing random stuff together, going to random places like outside SMU to jam, Haha! Don't get the wrong idea, I enjoy the people I hang out with today too! Argh, to sum it all, Everyone Out There I Enjoy The Good And Bad Times With You All And You Are Already Significant To Me Cos You Are A Part Of My Life! (hey this links with my first point in this post! Haha!)
"God I pray that You'd teach me to be disciplined in studying and also spend time with both church and school friends. Teach me to love everyone the same. To affirm and show love to the people around me. And also to love You more. Hey God, this kinda links with Your greatest commandment, Love You and people! Thank You for the people in my life and for helping me write this post with authenticity I never felt before. I also want to love my family more. Be a greater part of my life, God. In Jesus name, Amen. =]"

A beautiful evening at the beach.
Walking up the to shore,
The waves right in front of me
Gently climbs onto shore.
I feel You calling
One step further
Into the waters
So delirious it may seem
But I dedicate to You.
A step of Faith
A step of Surrender.
The things in my heart washed away
But the only thing that will be left shining
is Your Name.
Dad, Are You Free Now?
It was late in the night, a dad was at his working desk working on something on his laptop, while his eight year old son was at a table in front of him attempting some math questions. The little boy stumbled upon a math question he could not solve. He wanted to consult his father but he saw how busy his father was. Not wanting to distract his dad from his work, the little boy hid his face behind his math book, taking a peak at his father every minute, hoping his father would be done with his work on the laptop. It was pass 11pm and the dad was still working on his laptop.
"Son, is there something wrong?" The dad asked as he noticed his son constantly peaking at him.
In an innocent and curious voice, the little boy asked, "Will I be disturbing you if I ask you to help me with a math question?"
"Well, I certainly can make time for that! What's the question?" The dad answered as he shook his head twice to keep himself awake before he gave his son the "yes My Son?" face.
This was a scenario that came to my mind two days ago during a free period in class.
Similar to the father in this story, despite the many prayer phone calls God receives from all over the world 24/7, if we were to also come to him in prayer, he would turn his attention towards us and say, "yes My Son?"
