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.

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.
'
and i guess, as you grow older and become more aware of the people that you want to cherish around you, you become more afraid of dying all of a sudden. and you stop taking rollercoaster rides, you stop walking through dark alleys where no one might know or be able to save you if anything happens, you start eliminating ideas of being away from your loved ones for too long, you start avoiding all these possibilities because you're genuinely scared you'll leave something/someone behind.'
from a friend's blog entry.
Well i guess that explains how fear builds up as you age. i.e., afraid of failing, falling, breaking.
i just took a run last night (and am suffering the consequences of suddenly taking a run after not doing so for the longest time ever) around tampines. haha. such a rare chance for me to run and rachel managed to catch me in action. running is detoxifying mentally, haha. it makes you feel 4 times healthier when you're done. then u start eating nonsense after that. hahaha. its bad. haha.
htht-ed with corine last night over some doubts she had about me. haha. and then i realised something about myself, and i dont know if its good or bad. i realised, i don't really have someone that im truly accountable to. its like if i have 100 things happening in my life to tell people about. it would probably be spread out like 40% to someone, 20% to someone else anda 20% to another. no one would get 100%. i dont know if thats good. but it does sound like i have a lack of trust for people. but then again, its al subconscious. so my best friends, dont get hurt when i dont tell u something, cos i guess its just me :)
