a flower a day keeps the sads at bay :)
















I would love to hold a camera everywhere I go, and capture all the moments of my life. The exciting occasion, the lovely flower, the beaming child, the boring moment - all these are to be treasured. :) to be able to keep all these in my memory, under lock and key of images captured. How nice it would be. I do not want to forget anything, not even the most mundane, for I can see, how a few months down the road I will look back and try to remember what life was like once. Just like how I can't really remember what school life used to be like. Finding my way around in misty cloudy pictures of loneliness, not remembering the strangers' faces I used to see along the walkways or corridors - the odd Science student, surprised to see a Humanities student out of her Humanities shell.
I am not a very good example of a Christian. I get angry at people easily, I don't love all the people I know, I'm not very patient with those who get on my nerves, profanities spill out when I'm not careful. Please don't judge my God for who I am. It's precisely because I am a sinner, that I need a Sinless God to come and redeem me. Although I am not perfect, please give me time. Like what yHope always likes to say, we are all still 'work in progress'. Reading my blog will tell you that I am far from being the perfect person I was meant to be. I am still discovering what it means to be a perfect person, to be a perfect daughter to the perfect Father. But I do know that God = Love, and this is why I am still believing in Him. He gives the most wholesome, perfect, selfless, patient, forgiving, graceful love.

forgiveness

thank God for the timely timely reminder of forgiveness. even though before this i was tempted to really just end everything for once and for all - all the pain that it ever caused, all erased. But yes thank God.

what i learnt at service yesterday:
1) forgiveness for another is challenging especially when you can't find it within yourself to forgive. But its precisely God's forgiveness and grace that makes it possible for one to forgive another. not because i can, but because my heart is over-flowing from God's grace :)
2) Forgiveness is exactly that. given, a gift. forgiveness is never deserved. just like how God offers His forgiveness regardless of how much we sin.

amazing grace, how sweet the sound
that saved a wretch like me,
i once was lost,
but now am found
was bound, but now am free
