looking back
through time
through you.
i want a boy so ordinary, he doesn't exist

Friday, July 28, 2006 8:53 PM

glass bottle,
lost and alone,
lying unwanted on the sand.
battered by waves,
attacked by crabs.
never a moment of peace.
between high tide and low,
it cried out it's fear,
but no one really heard.

yet it was not always so.

it had been sent on a mission,
a noble one at that.
never mind that many had
been sent this perilous way.
big or small,
round or square,
nothing really mattered.
the crux of this whole play,
was the curl of
blue-tinged, lavendar scented, slightly transparent, flower-embossed, 5-by-2 centimetre paper
fitted snugly into the glass bottle.

nothing really mattered.
it didn't.

the one who had sent it
was not bothered
by the fate of her glass bottles.
shattered or cracked
or simply left alone,
who cared?

as long as her curl of
blue-tinged, lavendar scented, slightly transparent, flower-embossed, 5-by2 cemtimetre paper

and the words it carried
were safe,
that was all that mattered.

but the glass bottle was never to know.

i did a split accidentally. it started out as a fall. but somehow became a split. it's a bittersweet feeling, learning what you've already mastered but forgot, gaining what you've lost. but maybe, through this, i can be whole again.

Tuesday, July 25, 2006 9:39 PM

it's really interesting how God makes things occur. as in, events in your life. the way they come and go. it's really, really interesting. and it just struck me again.

today, pastor just preached on the 'foolishness of God', taken from 1 Corinthians 1:18-25. you might wonder, what sane person would preach about the foolishness of God. like, hello? hahas. but! just this very evening, as i'm typing my entry, i'm talking to a fellow vjcian, who questions the origin of religion, and how we christians know that God exists. after all, none of us has seen Him, nor heard His voice, even though we speak to Him, and He speaks to us. we can't record His voice down, nor is it audible in the usual conversations humans hold. but how do we know He exists?

simply because we believe in Him, all that He has done, all that He is doing, and all that He will continue to do! personally, though, God has done miracles in my family, time and again, blessed us, protected us. just this recent incident goes to show of His love and care! and perhaps, that is why i don't question His existence, though i did once or twice when i was a little girl. very young.

1 Corinthians 1:18-25
'18For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 19For it is written:"I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent." 20Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? 21For since, in the wisdom of God, the world through wisdom did know God, it pleased God through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe. 22For the Jews request a sign, and Greeks seek after wisdom; 23but we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling block and to the Greeks foolishness, 24 but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. 25Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.'

many now might ask who God is and how we know He exists because we have never seen Him. they might ask for evidence, recordings of conversations with God, or simply, how do we know that He created the world [refer to the Big Bang theory which i really think that without any particles there wouldn't be anything to big bang with. and hence the question: who created the particles? haha]. and to this, i marvel, simply because, "it pleased God through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe". even till today, from the time that the Bible was written, in the Old Testament to the New, people are still looking for "signs" and "wisdom". yes, human nature never changes, despite all our technological advances. and to this, today's message said that the Jews requested a sign, yet they rejected the cross - the sign given to them by God.

and throughout all of these, i still marvel. yes, how great and mighty is the Lord our God!

my sister wrote tt. how true! praise Him!(:

laughter descends
but leaves almost
immediately

they could not stay
not now
now, when the topics could not stray

though only for a while
she felt heartened
with encouragement

and plenty of bears
so what if
they were only printed?

book in hand
she read
waves of music washed

over
refreshing, rejuvenating and replenishing
of faith

things settled into
perspective
maybe...

she shook her head
and banished IT
into a corner

yet IT crept back
steathily
and she knew

there was no escaping
not when things were so
clear

:you never did care, did you?

when you pass through the waters I will be with you
when you pass through the rivers they will not sweep over you
when you walk through the fire you will not be burnt
when you walk through the flames they will not consume you


do not fear for I am with you
do not fear I have redeemed you
do not fear for I have called you by name
and you are Mine


when you walk through the shadows I will be with you
when you walk in the darkness I will bring the light of day
when you fall to your knees I will lift you up
when you feel all alone I'll be there to love you


do not fear for I am with you
do not fear I have redeemed you
do not fear for I have called you by name
and you are Mine


do not fear for I am with you
do not fear I have redeemed you
do not fear for I have called you by name
and you are Mine


do not fear for I have called you by name
and you are Mine


____________________





when shadows fall and the night covers all
there are things that my eyes cannot see
i'll never fear for my Saviour is near
He drives all fear away


how can i can fear? Jesus is near
He ever watches over me
worries all cease, He gives me peace
how can i fear with Jesus?


when i'm alone and i face the unknown
and i fear what the future may be
i can depend on the strength of my Friend
He walks along with me


how can i fear? Jesus is near
He ever watches over me
worries all cease, He gives me peace
how can i fear with Jesus?
