it's like so fast... in half a month the year will be ending... a new year is approaching. i'm aware of that but it just doesn't ring a bell in my head... haha
the band peeps got back from japan last wk... and some ppl told me that i shld have gone to enjoy the fun; that i should really go.... but deep down i noe that i won't enjoy myself.... my mum persuaded me to go coz initially i prayed abt it, was eager to go for this trip initially. (this is true) ... what changed my mind now was that i dun think i would really chill out and enjoy the trip..... i made that final decision even though there was sponsorship. if next time got chance , maybe i go but if not then nvm.... ppl were saying about disneyland, the weather, things that u cannot find in spore etc.... but i'm still not quite interested.... probably im just not a fun guy ...to me all these things - just last for a while - you want more of the fun but it will end somehow or rather... .so might as well stay in spore...haha... that's my personal feel
anyway, ytd's msg during service was about life as a marathon... life is a dash... is how u run.. and it really reflected to me coz ytd during devotion time i was reading about having faith and trusting God in no matter what circumstances, and it reflected that we should focus on God when we run this race.. with hope and perseverance(endurance)... sometimes i really want to avoid the cost of going through all these hardship, wanting to avoid responsibility given to me, the decisions i made leading to consequences that i would face in the future etc... , but i noe that God is with me throughout this race here...
so this week power encounter gonna be just a time of refreshing n renewal, preparing for the year ahead!
