When In Doubt

"Are you the Coming One, or do we look for another?"
Matt. 11:3
John the Baptist was languishing in prison and questioning his faith. He may well have wondered: Is Jesus the Messiah? Is His word true? Have I believed and laboured in vain for my master? Is this dark place my final reward for answering God's call?
Perhaps countless questions make their way through your mind as well: Is Jesus really the Savior? Have my sins been forgiven? Can I trust the Bible? Will I be raised from the dead? Does heaven lie ahead? Is all that I believe a cruel illusion?
Most of us ask questions like these from time to time. I do - especially on those dark days when circumstances bring sorrow and bitter disappointment, when it seems there's no storybook ending to our lives...
These questionings are not failures of faith but test of faith and can be answered in John the Baptist's way: We must take our doubts to Jesus. In His time and in His own wise way He will restore the confidence our hearts desire.
Jesus didn't abandon John to his doubt. He sent word of the miracles He performed and the hope He preached (Matt. 11:4-6). As George MacDonald said of God's faithfulness: "You might as well say that a mother would go away from her little child lying moaning in the dark."
--David Roper
But in the dark my heart is strangely blest;
Yea, in the gloom my soul obtains its rest;
For, spite of night, I find that God on high
Is near the anguished soul, wher'er it lie
--H. Frost
Never doubt in the dark
what God has shown you in the light

Last Friday...

So last Friday me and agnes were stuck at eastwood for 5 hours because we agreed to help with the RIT graduation on saturday....
And since most of the time there was spent doing absolutely NOTHING, we were so bored that we started taking random pics of ourselves.....see for yourself:





we were really really bored...... 5 hours can seem like an eternity in eastwood where there's NOTHING to do....

"On Trial"

'If you were suddenly transported into the presence of God and you heard a prosecuting attorney listing all the reasons you should be sent to hell, how would you plead? Guilty or not guilty?

The apostle Paul said, "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Rom. 3:23). That makes us guilty as charged.

What is the penalty for our sin? "The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord" (Rom. 6:23).

What could we say in our defense? "God demonstrates His own love towards us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us" (Rom. 5:8)

Because Jesus became our substitute, the penalty has been paid. But we must accept His forgiveness as a gift. The only requirement is that we recognize our need and accept His offer.

If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus
and believe in your heart that God
has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved....
For "whoever calls on the name of
the Lord shall be saved"
(Rom. 10:9,13)

If you haven't done so before, tell Jesus that you believe He died as your substitue and accept the free and undeserved gift of forgiveness. That's the only way to be right about your wrong, to be accepted by God, and to be sure of heaven.'

michelle's recent post

Okay, so i just read michelle's loooong post about how she's trusting that He will guide her through everything, and i just have to say, i TOTALLY agree...
Switching to A-levels for me was even more suddent than it was for michelle...i actually had no idea that she was planning to apply, so when mdm rajwant recommended me to apply as well, i was just like, "huh? i dunno.."
so i thought about it and thought about it.....i remember that afternoon so well: it was wednesday, the 7th of May and it was the last period of the day:chem lab...
I was completely torn... i didn't know what to do or where to go and i consulted yee fatt about it...that helped a bit...i wasn't so upset after that...
so i went home and talked to daddy about it..and that was when i decided..
eventhough i was really sad to have to say goodbye to all my friends in rrss, i was eager to leave the school i've come to dislike so much...
i see now that it probably was Him who made my decision for me..everything happens in His time, and i trust Him and all His decisions he makes for me... and i feel comforted by the fact that half the people in my class are fellow Christians...
So evethough i miss elie and yee fatt and mei na so so so much, i realise it's not the end of the world...and He will show me the way.

Bio lab...

@.@ oooh.... Bio today was really fun!!
we disected pig hearts!
we split into 2 groups and were each given a pig heart...Audrey and Michelle went crazy...they practically tore the heart apart and audrey hosted her own cooking show while michelle filmed it...omg, so hilarious!!
anyway, the other group [wes, amanda, jasmine and agnes] were more delicate with their heart and i eventually wandered over to watch their dissection...it was actually more interesting...we could see all the different chambers and the tendons and cardiac muscle...it was really cool!!
so here are some of the pics we took during the dissection (thanks to wes for the pics! ^^)

before dissection....

erm....left ventricle & artrium....I think....

this is the......erm......okay, I'm lost....
I think this is the right side of the heart...

those white things are tendons (a.k.a heart strings)...
they pull the valves to let blood through...

we soon gave up and just sliced all the way down the middle.... -.-"

If I Want I Surely Can!!!

haha....wondering why i chose this phrase as my blog address?
i chose it because of it's irony....anyone who knows me would know how much i've come to hate RRSS over the past couple of years and the certain 'people' in charge, so what better address for my blog?
[actually i chose it because i couldn't think of anything else.... -____-'''....shhh]

yikes....

exams coming soon.......NEXT WEEK!!!!
i really hope i do well.... I've been having trouble with Chemistry and Physics..... If i don't do well these exams, Daddy will be very unhappy...and i don't want to disappoint him...so i've been studying REALLY really hard, especially in my weaker subjects..
wow....time flies so fast....it's been 2 months since i started A-levels...it's kinda scary..... It's like, suddenly, 'whoa...exams already? Where did the time go?'
so yeah....it's time to pull myself together and stop lazing around... Studying's really hard.. When i AM studying, i feel so tired after an hour or so....so i take a break..but then i don't feel like ending my break and continuing studying...so i just leave it for later..... but later never seems to come, and then i end up feeling really guilty because there's still so much i haven't revised....argh!!
anyway, wish me luck, pray for me....i REALLY hope i do well...apparantly it's really hard to get A's...

emo time!

I've been feeling really distant with a few certain people....people i used to be so close to, but now hardly ever see.....
sometimes i wonder if i made the right choice going for A-levels...it has its up's and down's i suppose...the upside is i get to finish my education here and head to UK for uni..the downside is leaving all my old friends behind...
i've been told that this is LIFE...i have to learn to LET GO of the past and MOVE ON, and believe me, i've tried....it's just that.....i miss them so much!! I CANNOT seem to be able to let go... i try going back and visiting as often as possible, but it doesn't help....i feel like a stranger in a place i'm not supposed to be.... i feel like my friends who used to be so close to me are all drifting away...i feel like i'm losing them...and it scares the hell out of me....

live band perfornance

wow.....so so so excited about friday.....
The live band will be performing at the appreciation dinner at Imperial...
I'm really really nervous too...I've never sung on stage before, let alone sing in a band.. At first, I was like, omigosh, omigosh, omigosh, *stress* *fret* *worry*....but now that michelle will be singing with me i don't feel so nervous...so relieved!! at least i won't be alone!! ^^
I've never really thought i could sing very well, so i don't really know what people will think....I hope i'm okay...i don't want to sound horrible...horrible to a point people will be like, "oh my god, get off the stage!"
so yeah, kinda worried, but excited at the same time....hope i do well!!

oh no....i hope i don't get a sore throat or anything....
