ReligiousEmphasisWeek

It comes to the time of the year again... Holy week before Easter, and its 'religious emphasis week'
or REW in short
-
a bunch of us from FireAC sort of 'prepared' a message in the school pond by arranging white rocks to spell out "†GOD loves YOU"(the rocks initially had been used to advertise for some S.C. campaigning.) Ha Ha if you were wondering who the jokers were.
-
So "God Loves you", what does it mean...
-
Love itself is quite a issue on its own... ... see XL's post on love in his blog,
the limitations of the English language simply broadly generalised all the kinds of love(Agape, platonic love, sexual love, infatuations) in to 1 term itself... by itself is rather vague
-
the Bible tells us that God is Love(agape)(1 John 4:16), it also tells us that nothing can ever seperate us from God's love (Romans 8:38-39)
-
How does God show his love to us? By sending his son to die on the cross for our sins(John 3:16)
-
lets link it back to the REW speaker's Glen's testimony
how did God show his love to him.
A rebellious child .... life was in a mess yet..... God still loved him, enough to see him through and bring him back to Himself. The light sentence he received, his marriage and other aspects of his life all seemed to flow in God's plan... ... surely that cant be a coincidence or sheer luck...
-
I believe its all part of God's plan...
-
Even for my life , I can see how God has worked in my life... coming to accept Him in p6 not really knowing what it meant... Him closing the door for y3/4 IP to allow me to grow stronger in my faith without the testing and doubt that comes with learning PoD(part of the curriculum dealing with theory of knowledge) and opening the door for me stay on and serve in the ministry of FireAC.
-
Besides that, also other things that He has done for me... the other time when my teacher(Shue) wanted to send me to Dr Ong(which would have meant an expulsion) he was busy in a meeting so basically just got a scolding from the bursar(read this post: The struggles of life (and a prayer))
-
I just need to trust him for the other problems I'm going through now... the whole XL & BGR Amanda thing... that really... well... sickening why cant I let go my emotions yet?

Quote(Michelle Y.)
Didn't know guitars had fine tuners
(Referring to the black ebony guitar pegs)
Lol... Yan Han then proceeded to pretend to twist the guitar pegs as if fine tuning the guitar and compared the other part to a violin(pick guard became the F-Hole, the base of the guitar became the chin rest...
-
Quote(Maye Y.)
Your guitar has a nice smell, smells like my violin
(the mahogany wood does have a nice smell no doubt)
seeing John Tay sniffing at my guitar after that was quite amusing...

S.C. elections campaign forum was a waste of time... sitting down there for 1+ hour listening to the same cliche statements
Random Quote

Anyway Joshua Cao coming up and asking his ridiculous questions was the only thing that made it worth listening to.
