"Today Tammy asked a good question. How do you know what are the things to
chase for in life? Straight black and white, we all can know. But how about
things that are not so clear-cut? Seriously I don't know... or maybe I don't
want to think... or do I?"

haha.. interesting.. it's fun to think about such stuff really.. really, consider the simple things and questions in life that can probably be solved through simple common sense and by referring to God's word.. the first serious question i asked myself in this way, as far as i can remember is what erm, one of the deacons brought up today at the beginnign of service >.<"" sorry! cnt remember ur name~

yea.. basically, the question is.. God promised us,

"Rev 21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away."

so the question was, there are so many people i care for.. i hate to think of it, but somehow the painful truth seems to be, as i explore this huge world that God has made, i'll only get to know and love more people.. and so many won't accept Him, may not receive Him.. how can i then be without tears in heaven? i fear i must weep for my lost friends for eternity.. and that was my "jeremiah stage", christened for God's weeping prophet.. lol.. for the guys who knew about it..

it's interesting to think about such stuff out step by step, and even more so out loud, so that as one tries to evaluate and learn from what he already knows, he also teaches.. haha.. so philo, aren't i.. but i'm flouting a lot of supposed philosophy regulations, if my philo teacher were to come here, he would probably be scandalised..

so let me try.. "How do we know what are the things in life the be chased for? Those things that are simple and straightforward, dictacted by God's laws and love, as well as the good sense He has put in us, it's not a problem deciding.. but how about the things that are not so clear cut? how are we to decide?" hmm.. if i interprete accurately, i think that's what you're trying to say, riight..? well.. let's see.. well, the most common answer would probably be, always pray and ask God, then do what we do know that we should, and through His people around us, and His presence, He will guide us through somehow.. it's a matter of faith, really.. hahhaa..

okae.. but sometimes, we always feel, have to do something more.. hmm.. i guess, there are other things, that aren't really riight or wrong.. right? haha.. it's more of like, what's God's will for me? what am i supposed to chase, to desire, to reach out to attain, to achieve in my short life here? finding out God's will.. who knows..? i think some people in church can tell us something about that.. i think already have.. >.<"" erm, but what i think is.. with what we have in mind, with the desires of our childhood, accompanied with what we know is God's will already, somehow we'll get by..

well, finding God's will.. it's really not possible for anyone to tell you what it is, i think.. 'cept if God made it such that they are to show you the way, and that's not quite telling exactly, hmm? hmm.. yea, i guess, if only we can open up a bit, not to everyone, of course.. in this way, everyone can lend a noodle, and bump our heads together and see if anything will come of it.. with a bunch of friends and God's blessing, you can do quite anything this world can throw at you, really.. furthermore, like this, everyone can help one another, then more ppl's problems can be solved too! hoho~

hmm.. is there more..? let's see.. hm i guess there is one more category.. hwo about somethings that seems that God has given us a choice, straight out? is that another category..? hmm.. like say, such things as celibacy, haha.. and joining full time, and what to study in college, and stuff.. are they classified under, God's will also? hmm.. dunno >.<""

haiz.. a lot of things really, all it takes is faith, and straightforward honesty, and a clear conscience to solve.. that's what i believe, as of now =) as broEdmund said.. we're always learning and growing in Christ, if we only choose to, every moment of our lives.. haha.. and so our beliefs can only get better, riight?

okaee.

well, i finally got round to finish reaing the "little woman" trilogy, and i do declare, it's my absolute favourite non-fiction story in the world.. haha.. loads of little lessons in the funny stories they tell.. much to learn =) if anything, i've learned about chastising in love. that's something you can't really learn from the present society's situation.

as soon as i manage to find a little part time job that i can keep up, shall celebrate by buying a proper hard back version of these three books, little women, good wives and little men.. hoho..

so cheers, hope something pops up soon, by God's grace.. hoho.. tally ho~
