‘You Christians look after a document containing enough dynamite to blow all civilization to pieces, turn the world upside down, and bring peace to a battle-torn planet. But you treat it as though it is nothing more than a piece of literature.’
Mahatma Gandhi, via What Direction?

It's not just about credence, it's about confidence.
It's not just a moment of faith, but a journey of faith.

I absolutely love going to church weekly. I never fail to be inspired, encouraged, refreshed just soaking in God's word. And it's been great this past few weeks as Ps Jonathan has been speaking about how we always have a moment of great faith in God's presence, when we're in that moment communing with Him, but when we go on with life, on to Monday, Tues, Wed... how hard it is to keep the faith. It's so easy to lose sight of the fact that though our circumstances haven't changed, God is with us every step of the way, just giving us that extra push, extra grace, extra strength to keep running the race. And we know it, we just have to put it into practice! I'm so ready to face week 9, warts and all!

Through it all, I know without a doubt that my God is with me, just giving me that gentle strength and that whisper of comfort to keep running, and I WILL keep running, and when all is said and done, I want to be able to say I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, and I have kept the faith. For my God is awesome!

Had a truly awesome night listening to a cabaret choir, of which Tina and Adil was in. I'm glad Chloe decided to book a table, or else I probably wouldn't have gone. I absolutely LOVE choirs, especially if they're singing really happyfying songs and jazz! Yesterday's songs totally made me smile and lifted my spirits I just wanted to sing along! "I love coffee I love tea...It's the Java Jive!!" hahahahha oooh and you gotta check out the "love is the seventh heaven" music video by Sting! Apparently it's the craziest MV the choir director has ever seen. I'm gonna check it out right after this.

Headed to Chloe's place to spend the night after. Jean, Chloe and I ended up sharing girly stories, and it was so so awesome just having a good LOUD laugh over our boy stories, and how they just exist to complicate life! LOL! Looking back on my secondary school days now, I can't help rolling my eyes and laughing at myself sometimes! Boy how I've grown! And how I've moved on from chicken pox! hahahhahahha...

And then it was so fun to witness first-hand the women's wrestling sessions Jean and Chloe have just before bed nightly. Crazy stuff la those two. And oh so funnnnnyyyy!! So lovely to see housemates who are also best friends and who stick notes of encouragement for each other everywhere in the house!

More girly nights to come woohoo! This time at MY place! Or at Tina's, with her awesomely HUGE plasma screen tv and an endless stretch of DVDs! Can't waitttt!!
