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

Dreams

I found my dream job... take a look!

You Need To Know


It's my dream job.. travelling everywhere and helping to save one or two childrens' lives..Like the World Vision job i told some of u guys about some time back.. bring them alternatives to the brothels and breaking bricks on the streets.. doing more than just giving food, blankets or bringing them out to play.. i still insist i wanna hug them.. cos hugs DO make a difference.. :) but first it requires me to go through DTS (Discipleship Training School), read 6 months residential program with 6weeks on overseas work focussed on personal character building.. and then this program will take me another 9months to complete.. i certainly can't do it now.. but if I take up my NCSS scholarship (if they offer it to me), I can't do this course when I graduate either..


Lord, Lord.. You called me to serve the poor.. Where will I go? Where will You send me?
