no greater love than this

was taught a painful lesson today - never to stay up to study for something the very next day. that only results in a uselessly sleepy body being dragged around all day and a mind thats too groggy to concentrate from the lack of sleep. call it piggyness, but ive never really been able to do without enough sleep.

God's word amazes me - its possible to gain fresh insights every time - even when ive read that verse many times over.

thoughts have been shifted on random mode lately, and lots of strange thoughts jump into my mind out of the blue (at all the wrong times, like during math lessons) very bad to have a wandering mind at such times.

thinking back about the post-it note exercise during cg, i realise everyone can think about something thats an obvious blessing. do blessings really have to be something special, and out of the blue to qualify as that ? i guess not. its just that the blessings that we receive every day in our lives (like our parents) have become too mundane to be viewed as such.

if i started a list of 'I dont like the fongyee that _____', it'd probably be endless. perhaps visualising that list in your mind and acting to strike them off one by one would be more meaningful.

think you love the people around you very much ?
no you dont.
you dont until you show them God's love.

For as long as I shall live
I will testify to love
I'll be a witness in the silences when words are not enough
With every breath I take I will give thanks to God above
For as long as I shall live
I will testify to love

i'm waiting on Your promise.
