suffering

     Last weekend, I've learnt to thank God even for the good times because you never know when it's going to turn bad. It can be over the course of one day or even a moment.      Being a Christian doesn't mean that everything is easy. Jesus promised suffering. I've finally gotten to experience it. I'm hopeless and frustrated, and I feel the same now. I feel like I am in an elevator and waiting for the door to open. I ask God why but I know I shouldn't be...      Depending on God is tough and it's difficult but I know if I can continue to be HIS good and faithful servant, He will grant me peace.  ~ch I will listen to what God the Lord will say; He promises peace to his people, his saints. Psalm 85:8

the friendship that is my foundation

I have always been trying to describe how much my friends at church really impact my life. During a leadership retreat at @bluemountain, I've finally figured it out. The word is foundation . My church friends are my foundation, my second family, I will never question their friendship. I know that during my times of trouble, they are the ones I can talk to.      With other friendships, I've watched the high&lows but I know that no matter what happens, my sisters-in-Christ will always support me.     I guess one of the fears I personally have when I started to think about my future was the fact that in 2 years, we are all going to spread into many different places to pursue our post-sec. education. It isn't going to be like 'half of our grade @church is going to the same school.' With all of that, I am trying to live in the present and make most of the 'grade days' and 'moments' before it's all gone.    Thanks J.L, S.H., O.C., H.C., R.T., M.

'til death do us part

     My all-time favourite part in a wedding is listening and seeing love stories unfold because it gives me some sort of happiness and reassurance that there is still love in this world.        There is a beautiful story that I just feel like sharing. There was a couple who lived on the top of this mountain to isolate themselves from the city. Because his wife works in the village, the husband spent years and years making a staircase so that his wife could go to work everyday safely. As they grew old, the staircase did too, he would spend everyday repairing so that his love one won't get herself hurt. They lived there until he passed away. This historical site and love story has transformed into a testament of what it means to live 'til death do us part.'       Wedding vows are words but to put them into actions is difficult. One day after lunch, I was waiting to cross the traffic light when I saw an old couple walking on the other side of the street. The man was frail a
