a short(er) entry... :P
well.. another day of another week... meaning it'll be 2-3 weeks to the prelims!! man.... time realli flies.... n i haven't realli gotten down to studying when EVERYONE else is..... dis is bad.... veri veri bad...
niway todae waz a tiring day.... woke up veri tired AGAIN.... dunno watz wrong with me... izzit bcoz of the lack of exercise or izzit coz of the burden of waking up to another torturous week of sch.... i wouldn't know.... well... i guess all dat matters is dat God knows n all i haf to do is trust in Him...
well.. today's QT is again veri applicable not juz for today... but for the past few yrs of my life.... today's reading (editted: 24/8/04... salah siaz... dat dayz reading on something else... muz haf been too tired... :P) has been something dat i haf been trying to understand for a looong time... ok sure... strength in weakness.... it means dat God will provide strength when u haf reached ur finite physical/mental/spiritual limit or u haf some lack of aptitude dat u're workin on reeeal hard.... but wat does it REALLI mean to haf strength in weakness??
i'm not struggling with the fact dat God does give strength in weakness.... wat i dun understand is how can it be applied in my life.... itz like i dun realli see the reality of it.... ok.. perhaps being tired n getting thru the day is one form of it.... but i see dis strength dat the passage is talking abt as in REAL LASTING strength.... strength dat will allow me to overcome dis problem of tiredness n laziness n lethargy once n for all..... perhaps i'm not getting the point of dis passage but yeah... i'm still learning n i'm open to any enlightenment on dis matter.... juz thought i'll bring dis up in case some of u might haf the same thought as well... then we can start some discussion on it on the tagboard or something.. i dunno.. hehe... but if u can help enlighten me/us in anyway... juz leave a note on the flooble.... dat will be veri much appreciated.... ^^
anyway.... came across dis passage when me mum passed me one the devotionals she had yesterday..... n itz a veri encouraging passage... especially verses 2 and 4...in the midst of these "difficult times" -quote yh- verse 2 speaks of not being overcomed by difficulties along the way of life.... i guess i'll haf to deepen my trust in the Lord coz i reeeealli feel burdened n subdued by all the thingz i need to do in sch n in church.... which shldn't be the way....
verse 4 to me is veri special.... it feels gd to be told dat i'm "precious" in God's sight.... *thankfully not Smeagle's sight.. kekekeke...* n i am loved.... everyone needs to be loved but love frm a supreme being realli is..... special.... well... itz more than special but juz can't find the word now.. haha... i especially like the last part.... "therefore i will give men for you, and ppl for ur life"... itz a nice thought to know dat all the ppl who haf helped us in life n all the frenz who picked us up when we're realli down haf ALL been provided by God to help us thru dis tough journey of life....
well.. itz a relatively short entry but i guess itz better to haf a short meaningful entry than a loooong entry datz trying to "squeeze water out of a rock"... also juz thought dat i'll end dis entry on a happier note... ^^ well.. tho i'm tired going thru these verses again realli lifts the burdensome-ness(?) of the day frm the heart.... feel so motivated to do work again.. haha... thank God for dat... ^^ maybe i'll end with a poem frm the church anniversary bulletin... talks abt appreciating God in nature n the way thingz are... enjoy.. ^^

We Thank You
for the never-failing promise of the seed;
for the lush-laden offering of the fruit tree.
for the quiet simplicity of the prairie,
for the royal majesty of the mountain;
for the immeasureable space; unfathomable time.
For all these, O God, an inexpressible gratitude floods our being.
-Marvin J. and Madelyn Hartman
