biking with the wind blowing me...

yeah, hoping that my mind makes some sense in writing. my sense of black and white in matters relating to life and thoughts are becoming blurred - i hope not by the influence of new age but rather by the influence and my human understanding of the grace of God. i want these recordings to become a reminder of God's faithfulness in my golden days.
So, welcome my friend, let's learn together. I beckon you.

Happy Birthday Amazing-Gracey! =)

I stand amazed
Captured by Your grace
Let me sing Your praise
And stand in awe of You

It's been exactly a year since I started blogging at Blogspot. I have seen so many changes, changes in the way I express my thoughts, changes in my walk with God, the growth I have journeyed in this past 1 year, things I learnt about friendship and most importantly, my growth as a person.

It is amazing what 365 days can do to a person. Depth is what I am becoming more each day, yet some of my friends keep me simple by reminding me to act my age which I find most hard very often. Cheekiness is still in my dictionary (thank God!), but only with those whom I am comfortable showing this carefree side of me. Living up to people's expectations is tiring, but that is all I know all my life - live to please people.

But hey, no complains. I am grateful for that long walk I had with God the last one year. Things were bleak, hopes were crushed and yet God is good. How bad can life get when God watches over me? Friends departed from my life, and yet there were new friendships blossoming at the other side of life. Really, how bad can life get when God is on my side?

I can't help but be disappointed,
Can't help but be hurt,
And I can't help but wonder.

I can't help but be reflective,
Can't help but be friendly and warm,
Can't help but express my thoughts,
Can't help but love,
Can't help but listen,
Can't help but forgive,
Can't help but grow,
Can't help but give,
Can't help but hope,
Can't help but melt at the sight of cute guys ;),
Can't help but feel appreciated for who I am,
Can't help but praise Him who made me,
Can't help but give thanks and glory to Him,
Can't help but grow in the delight of His word,
Can't help but be loved by my Creator,
And can't help but blossom.

Today I am thankful because I am still breathing, something that many stopped doing because of the absense of life. Live life to the full I will, as I become more and more the person that God made me for.


same yet different,
gracey

Hey Mike, I hope my blog rubs off some positive stuff on you. I am only made holy by the One who took my place in death. The Lord bless you too, as you think about life, and your place in it. =)

God will bless only to those that really trust in Him and i'm not the one.Your blog made to thought about life..Erm actually many brother and sister in church is really care about me and want to see me more holy and sanctified. but i know i'm not that type that can made it...

Seem like even god cannot change me ..my perception towards god ...hehehe is not grumble or complain towards god.

I just know god's commanded us to love others and i think that enough to be a HUMAN .It's not importance that we talk that much about christian and non christian .

Everybody perceived to be on their own religion and i choose to be a free thinker .I belief everything is from a person heart .It might not right because i'm from a christian family..

Hmmm said to much liao to you...anyways thanks for your reply...

Mike, you make me sound like a perfect and holier-than-thou person. Who says Jesus came to save perfect people? Far from it! And who says He doesn't love you? Come on, I can't make myself holy and sanctified. Even if I try hard I can't go by a day without sinning! So what makes me better than you? Really, nothing!

God doesn't impose change on anyone. If you don't want to change, then that's your choice. But of course we will be the ones who suffer the consequences at the end of the day right?

Our hearts are deceitful above all else. We can see it by the inconsistencies that apply in our lives. So there's no way we should compare ourselves to each other, because we all have fallen short of God's glory. That's why ONLY Jesus can save us, and help us see light at the end of the tunnel. =)

A belief is religious if it is labeled as religion by those who believe it. Or 'A belief is religious if it deals with spiritual matters'.

At this point I began questioning myself on why did I even bother creating such a hassle for myself by venturing into field I clearly wasn't fully certain about. I cannot say for sure that I have fulfilled my objective on finding out what religion is but as of now, religion to me is what you perceive it to be. I strongly do believe that we all do belong to a certain religion.

Erm back to myself ...I'm admitted that i'm not a faithful believers of christianity and somekind i'm just don't know what i believe anymore .

Church is like a school to me,i'm always still like the kids that always skip class and not read the book.Hmmm u know what i mean .I always take a break from church .I know a little break can become a life-long habit.It is there is something else that i would rather be doing, then taking the place of God in my heart every sunday..

It's make me tiring because from a christian family .In other way to said i don't want every sunday it's must comes people drag me to go church...I don't want to act so religious...

Just my thought only....
