embracing adulthood

There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under heaven:
a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,

a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,

a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,

a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain,

a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,

a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,

a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

Vanessa Miriam Chong

I love God.
I want to love His people,
His wonderful creation.

I live a victorious life everyday,
because my saviour has triumphed.

I want to tell the world of my story.
The story of how Jesus and His love has filled me

I will follow Him the rest of my life
And i will dwell in the House of the Lord forever.

yay! today went to bukit timah for the first time.. haha! went with renaia bit disappointed that not much pple turned up.. lol.. quite fun.. but tiring also.. haha.. and we stink man.. lol.. but seriously i really wonder how i made it to mount k.. haha.. i think i'm the sort who needs to be pushed to the limits one.. like tt time i go mt k i gusee the reason why i made it is because i have no choice but to move ahead, i cant turn back, and i cant just stay there and freeze to death or sthg.. haha.. oh and my first exp with bt timah hill was quite an intetresting one.. monkeys! hahaha.. so fierce man.. aggressive too.. snatched jingyu's bread away.. haha.. (oh man i'm blocked in the photo! haha)

yup. den had ballet at crown centre.. den right, as i was on my home on the mrt i made a bug realisation.. as i was sitting there on the mrt seat, pple from all walks of life strted swarming the train.. but what i realised was most of them were working people.. so slowly they got off the train.. den there was this group of 3 ladies sitting opp me.. it was not that they look weird, or glam or outstanding.. but its just that they were ordinary. too ordinary. u noe they look like those pple whose lives' are like this: go to work when needed, see weekends as a chance to catch up on their sleep. working for the sake of working, or maybe earning money and hence resulting in mediocre performances. checking out the cosmetic counters to see what new products can destroy the evidence of ageing on their faces. Then i thought to myself.. this is definitely not the kind of life i want.. its too ordinary.. i want something bigger than that.. brighter, fresher, vibrant.. and i wondered, when these pple were young, did they think about how their life would be? my point is.. shouldn't we worry for our future now? what we REALLY want to do? or do we want to like 'let nature take its course' and end up like that.. i mean if u actually like go and 'interview' them on why their lives are so boring, they'd most probably tell u 'i have no choice', or, 'didnt think my life would end up like that' .. hmm...

But den again, we really dunno what God has in store for us... :)
