Don't Waste Your Life

Life's a journey - don't forget to unpack.

Where it all meets

Perhaps then, it is at the cross of Christ that we find what we crave for most deeply in this world. Love and sacrifice, justice and mercy, faithfulness and grace. It is at the cross of Christ that all these meet, and if we dig deep enough into the core of our being, we will find that these are the things we will live and die for. - Me

To you, my reader. :)

There, look on me, so that you may not praise me beyond what I am; there, believe me, not others, about myself; there, attend to me and see what I have been in myself, through myself. - St Augustine

Looking at that elephant, was poignantly reminded of that difficult time last sem when all seemed down and wrong, and i didn't know how to cope. I remember the confusion, the pain and the almost-knock-head-on-the-wall frustration, often breaking down at night in my room, going about not knowing what was going on in my life.

Yet i remember you were there to comfort, to share and to sms with me. Just to tell me to take care. in fact, i think i still have one of those sms-es.. it talked about asking me to drink more water.. and that too much coffee is dehydrating..

Yet, not only you, it caused me to think about all those people who were so significant in my life. I won't forget how Jeremy weeped as the monday BS group was praying for me, or how edgar patiently walked me through difficult and painful choices, how JeeLee was always there when i needed someone to pray with in PGP in the middle of the night, or how julia smsed me to say that the Monday BS group loves me.

I can't forget how u, XZ were always there in difficult times. U'd call all e way from melbourne, or i'd call all the way there and we'd chat for a while. short, yet deeply satisfying conversations. conversations that always left me knowing that i had a friend who cared, and a friend who didn't judge.

And u, WL. How i saw the Lord revive our friendship. Not after 2 years of pruning my heart to make me un-bitter though. I treasure it and I wanna hold on to it. Yesterday's meeting up showed me how precious our friendship is to me

Nor u, my dear buddy. How I could always turn to u for a shoulder to cry (yes, by now all of u my blog readers shuld noe i DO cry, and pretty often too, and i'm not ashamed of it). I think u're the only person i've called up to cry to, and i think it might be the same on ur side too besides perhaps betty.

And yes, MYJQ. now that u're VP of ChEss, fulfill ur responsibilities, and i'm sure u will cos u've been such a faithful friend to me. early morning jogs, sauna nights as well as in the pool chats. we've done it all.

we've done it all, indeed.
