四天

还有四天。。

五天

忙碌的一天终于过了
今天忙着上课，忙着考口试，忙着把幼稚园活动办完
真的是把自己累坏了

再忙也忘不了那一天即将到来。。

还有五天。。

六天

又是一天

时间匆匆忙忙地过。。

我今天又吃了火锅，吃火锅让我想起昨天。
不想活在过去的我，不小心往后退了两步。

还有六天。。

七天

一群可爱小朋友的到访，让家里热闹许多。
平时安静的餐桌，也额外的吵闹。

鱼翅，辣椒螃蟹，火锅。。

这些食物不是每天都有的哦。。

看到大家都有说有笑，心情也特别的好。

下一次的聚会，会是在几时呢？在什么地方？吃些什么？
我真的非常期待。

期待下一次见面。
期待下一次聚会。
期待下一次的一切一切。

还有七天。。

八天

我有时候还真希望时间会停下来，因为美好的时光总是走得比别人快。
它会在你不知情的情况下偷偷的溜走。当你发现的时候，它也已经跑到远远的。

算了，四季循环。候鸟飞走了，迟早会回来。 美好的时光走了，会有另一个美好走来。

与其在这儿埋怨时间走得快，不如好好珍惜眼前的一切。

还有八天。。

岁月如流、光阴似箭

我知道你不能停下了来，你也不会停下来。

The Day

The average mass of an adult's heart is about 250-350g.
But mine weighed far more than that today..

The day was long and I was super awake..
Seated in between 2 ladies who were also waiting for smses..
I couldn't stop looking at my phone..
We were waiting for smses of the same thing..

200pm.. 230pm.. 245pm.. 300pm..

Smses came in one after another.. but my phone waited in dreaded silence..
"Have they replied??".. I shook my head..
My heart grew heavier as each minute passed..

First sms came.. not good..
Another came.. not very good..
Next came.. not good either..

My heart grew heavier as each minute passed..

I knew I was getting more tired.. mentally.. physically..
The heavier the heart, the more tired I was.. a direct proportionate relationship..

I took some time and spent it with the Lord. Thank God for His word.
I prayed for wisdom, I prayed for ideas, I prayed for everything my mind could generate..

The day was long and I became tired..

Passion for God, the act or the heart?

As the year starts with the youth group leaders wanting the youths in the group to have a passion for God. I wondered what does it really means to have passion for God. How do we know whether the youths have grown in their passion for the Lord? Is it based on their involvement in church? Or the way they sing during worship? Nobody would ever know for sure, only God knows. But as I was pondering over this issue, a hymn came into my mind. That is the hymn that I posted few days earlier, “A Passion for Thee”.

“Set my heart, O dear father, on Thee and Thee only”

“Lord, keep my focus on loving Thee wholly”

“Not just to serve, but to love Thee with all of my heart”

“Let love for Christ every motive inspire”

“Be Thou my joy and my soul’s one desire”

The above phrases are phrases that caused me to think about my own heart. Before I expect the youths in church to have passion for the Lord, do I myself have a heart after God? Do I desire to know God as much as I want myself to? Do I actually love God as much as I thought myself to be?

I disappoint myself many times when I reflect on my own actions, words and even my motivation of doing things. Those were the times when God shows how deceitful the heart can be. Do I love my youths in church or do I just love the responsibility of taking care of younger ones? Do I truly want to serve or do I just want to feel needed in certain places? Only God knows my heart.

But God has also been gracious to me. He has showed me my weaknesses through brothers and sisters in Christ. I don’t enjoy being questioned about my actions but it has always been a good opportunity for me to evaluate myself.

So what should we be concerned about? The act or the heart?

I think the important thing is to pray. Pray that God will continue to change the hearts of His people and that the change of hearts will lead to acts of worship(service).

Not just to serve, but to love Thee with all of my heart...

冷静

“好久没那么不冷静了”-- 诸葛孔明《赤壁》

今天在学校吃了午饭，我就在上课前，非常不冷静地说了两句话

回到家里，吃晚餐前，我又非常不冷静地说了好多句话

陈莉群，你必须冷静点。
先深呼吸，用用大脑，再说话。

A Passion For Thee

A Passion for Thee - The Wilds Music

Set my heart, O dear Father,
On Thee, and Thee only,
Give me a thirst for Thy presence divine.
Lord, keep my focus on loving Thee wholly,
Purge me from earth; Turn my heart after Thine.

A passion for Thee;
O Lord, set a fire in my soul, and a thirst for my God.
Hear Thou my prayer, Lord, Thy power impart.
Not just to serve, but to love Thee with all of my heart.

Father fill with Thy Spirit, and fit me for service,
Let love for Christ every motive inspire,
Teach me to follow in selfless submission,
Be Thou my joy and my soul's one desire.

久违的朋友

I met up with my primary school classmates yesterday at causeway point for a meal. It has been 8 years since we graduated from our primary school and I was quite surprised when one of my ex-classmates sent me an sms to ask me whether i would want to meet up for lunch. I think we had a fun time trying to recall who are the other classmates who were not there and talking about teachers an some other things that happened during our primary school years.

I thought about posting the funny things that happened during the outing. But after much delibration, i realised that if i ever try to put all of them down, it will not be funny anymore. Or at least my description of events would not do much justice to what exactly happened during the outing. (Jiaman, dont worry.. i'm going to announce to the world all the 'unique' things you said and did.. hee)

Anyway, the outing as a whole was really nice. I was really glad to be able to meet up with them. Hope that we'll meet up soon!!
