back from camp.wanted to write a memorial incident for self remembrance before camp but no time (who am i kidding. i took hrs to complete a simple proposal)

was talking to a friend one night and requested him to give some personal testimonial. and so he told me those "not-so-private" encounters like praying and asking God a qn which he gets an answer in return the next day. and,according to him, the way God responded to his qn seems very small, to me. it was through conversations with friends. i respect him a lot in the way he says it's a response from God and not coincidental.

personally speaking, when i have an "inner-self" qn, i do get a solution through these things too. but i nvr wanted to think it's from God as doh. it's just a coincidence that it's like that. i didnt want to give in to God because..haha i dont know why. i'm so strong minded in my self belief that I could handle my own life. so anyway, i thought that since my friend could think that way of situations happening in his life, why not give a shot at it? it wldnt hurt trying to live a "God-centred" day for 24 hrs. so yup. it happened to be a sunday and woo. it felt great :) i saw things more openly. when something 'coincidentally' happens, i took it from the Godly perspective. there were a few pointers i'd like to raise

1) "A promise kept is a relationship treasured."
That was on the front pg of the church bulletin. impactful. the week before, i made a convenant with God to abstain from something for a week. it was difficult and there was one time i was really tempted to indulge in it again. i was in such a challenging state. i talked to my sis about it (she's just to listen, not do anything else, and make me feel impt xp) the amazing thing was that my sister replied in the midst of her attention grabbing drama show. she reminded me that a promise made with God is far more impt than that matter. shes only p6. so in the end, with much hesitation, i restricted my actions. really glad God brought me through it and reminded me that worldly posessions are nth compared to the heavenly treasures he has in stored for me.
2) Psalms 8
i dont really rmb what this chpt is abt. during sermon on sun, teacher wendy made us recite it twice. first, straight from the bible. second time, putting our names in it and change the he to she where (and who) applicable. i wasn't really reading the 2nd time cos i wasn't as fast in changing the text and reading it off so quickly. guess my brain WASn't(past tense) functioning as well. just felt a sense of inner peace :)
3) Isaiah 40:26
can't rmb what it was abt. more like i chanced upon it but have yet to read it .
4) A dream my mum had
my family has been having this huge family problem that we've been struggling with, or rather, my siblings and i. more so my parents. aiyah. pray for me lah. my parents thought of separating quite a few times. and before i left for camp, the situation actually got worse and every other day my mum wld tell me her fantasies and how she wld lead her life. she seemed happier when she talks abt it so i just let her lah =/ i'm a bad daughter. i dont give gd advice. i dont whine and ask mummy to stay home. i dont shed tears, to warm their hearts, when these stuff happen. i shut up and watch my sister coax my parents when they quarrel. i just dont know what to do when my parents fight. i cant find the right words to say.my mum even called my maid, who was at home, and burst into great jubilance as my sister, check this out, got into the SEMI FINALS for interhouse bball. why? cos i was 'not as happy' to her expectations when she told me abt it. lol. i guess it's cos my mum 'coached' the team and put in a lot of effort to correct their skills. OKOK side tracked. so anyway the night before that sunday, she had a glimspe of how her life wld be without us, in the form of a dream. it cant be by chance that you'll have a dream like that right? right. on the way to church, my mum was talking abt her dream and how much she'll miss me. aww :P i could just feel the presence of God (i dont know what it's like but that's how i wld describe it)
i wanted to whip out a camera and set it rolling.
i wanted a recorder that wld record every emotion n word that came from her
i wanted to burst my phone and transcribed the flow of words. i was so relieved and happy for her. esp my family. the way she described her dream seemed very real. the setting was at a condo she'd love to stay at which the rest of my family doesn't. (i hate that place)
all in all, i wanted to capture every little detail in that scene
5) God will make a way
heard this song when i went up to the century(whatever the spelling) to look for my mum after my youth ministry service. the crowd, or rather my fellow matured brothersandsisters in christ were singing so beautifully. it has been long since i heard it n sometimes pondering on the lyrics, of any song actually, makes you think a lot. sometimes i feel as if God is speaking to me through these songs/

ooh. i just read an entry on why you shld not compare your life with others. how meaningful. if the person ever comes here, nice assertion. funny how God talks to each of us differently. hmm
