dusk

i just love when it's dusk and the light hits everything just perfectly. everything just seems to be brighter and clearer and glad that the day has finally ended.

jumping, flying, falling.

sometimes life throws at you giant leaps which you must conquer in order to move ahead. sometimes you just need to close your eyes and jump, and pray to God that he'll catch you when you fall, or to push you when you won't budge.

breathe deeply, eyes closed tightly, knees bent, and feet leave the ground. suspended mid-air. i hope my feet touch the ground again soon.

the modern family

i just finished watching the first three episodes of the new mockumentary "the modern family". i loved it, thought it was hillarious. but, the more i think about it, the more it saddens me. we live in a world that is so broken, that even something as pure and good as family can be broken and hurting and dysfunctional.

it just brings me to realise how much the world needs the love of an everlasting Father, one who'll never leave us or forsake us, one who'll never re-marry somebody else.

just a thought.

i'll be by your side forevermore.. that's what friends are for

isn't it just wonderful to have friends who you just click with? like even though you haven't seen them in AGES, once you see each other again its like no time has ever passed between you? isn't it great to know you'll always have people there thinking about you and praying for you?

last night was fun :)

thanks Ho twins for making me laugh and smile so much!

Adri, you should've been there! it was epic.

Lady Gaga

i used to think lady gaga was a terrible, tacky, straight to the top and then straight to the bottom popstar who didn't know a shred about music and who just sung things which her agents/producers/music directors tell her to. i thought she was only famous because of her bizzarre wardrobe and crazy video clips. or maybe it was the rumours about her being a haemophiliac which catapulted her straight to the top, but recently (very recently) i have come to recognize and respect her as a musician in her own right as i stumbled across some pretty amazing videos on youtube. lady gaga is not only an amazing singer, she is also an amazing pianist! she is such a fresh, new, bright creative mind. i guess she's a bit like picasso, who everybody thought was strange, and who nobody respected as an "artist". but thats just because he was more genius than anybody could understand. so, here is my evidence for all you hesitant or lady gaga haters.

this week the trend

as christians, our job is to share Jesus' love, not to judge the world like the pharisees did, that's God's job. how do we remain connected to this world, yet don't step over to become too sinful and worldly and liberal? how do we remain in Jesus without becoming too distant and self-righteous and disconnected from this world? how do we bring the love of Christ into broken lives when we ourselves are clouded by our judgements of others? how do we break the stereotype of being a "conservative christian" into being one who can approach this world with godly principles? i cannot draw the line right now. i can't tell anymore if i'm becoming too much like the pharisees who Jesus used to get so frustrated with. Jesus himself hung out with prostitutes and sinners, how can i become more like him? how can i reach a lost generation when they feel like they have to be somebody else to be a christian?

too many questions, too little brain space to process it all.

blog post #2 for today.
