never take friendship personal

Short post alert! In the mid of SPM trials now, so this is my escape haha.




I miss jamming with the guys. Sighh..

Once a skeptic, now the critic.

Look around for the closest to blame.

a lament and call to repentance

One day, one of the guys in the P&W forum I joined popped this question up. What is your favorite verse in the Bible in terms of worship? One that was mentioned a lot was Amos 5:21-24.


21 “I hate, I despise your religious festivals;
    your assemblies are a stench to me.
22 Even though you bring me burnt offerings and grain offerings,
    I will not accept them.
Though you bring choice fellowship offerings,
    I will have no regard for them.
23 Away with the noise of your songs!
    I will not listen to the music of your harps.
24 But let justice roll on like a river,
    righteousness like a never-failing stream!


Wow. Like a big, fat, slap.

Really straightforward isn't it? We can be the best musician, singer or whatever it is in the whole universe. But if our heart is not right, if our eyes are not set on God, if we are caught in sin, He will not listen to us. Our assemblies are a stench to Him. Ouch!

So, check yo self before you wreck yo self.

EPL RETURNS.

Finally, after what seems like a decade, the English Premier League returns to action today! Looking forward to seeing how Moyes will do in his first season. Though in all honesty, I foresee the noisy neighbors picking up the title.

First competitive match, first silverware. Too easy.

This coming season looks to be one of the most interesting ones yet. The battle for Top 4 will be intense. With Suarez staying, Liverpool have a slim chance. And if Bale stays too, I'm confident that Arsenal could get pipped to 4th by Tottenham. My Top 4 predictions are City, Chelsea, United, and Tottenham, in that order.

Alas, it looks like a painful year ahead for Newcastle. May be dragged into a relegation battle, again. But I'm pretty sure they'll survive, by the skin of their teeth. I predict all 3 promoted teams to be relegated.

First manager to be sacked? Mark Hughes. After a disaster at QPR, you'd think who in their right mind would hire him.

Here's to a great season! Glory glory Man United!

What would you like to do if money were no object?
You do that.

stay and wait

Hai guys. This is an update on my life. Everybody loves life stories, right? Hah.

So, I've had this certain feeling for a few months now. I felt like I wasn't meant to be in a certain place. To cut the story short, I wanted to move to another church. I felt like I was doing nothing to benefit myself, or anyone in the church. I actually thought God was calling me to move. *facepalm*

Then, Pastor Larry Kreider shared this on the following Sunday.
- Stay where you are, and sow seeds there. That is where the blessings will be.
- Serve, pray, worship and do everything with passion!

So here I will stay, and here I will sow! This is what Satan does. If he considers you a threat, he will do his very best to discourage you and break your spirit. And so..


Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.

1 Corinthians 15:58

To further encourage you:

Who loved me through my rebel way
Who chose to carry all my shame
Who breaths in me with endless life
The king of glory Jesus Christ

love is here

Could've been a better day. Felt so down. Then this song came up.



Love is here. 
Love is now. 
Love is pouring from His hands, from His brow. 
Love is near, it satisfies. 
Streams of mercy flowing from His side. 


Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
Matthew 11:28
