Blessings of single-hood:

Yupz, I'm glad I'm single especially during exam time. I have a friend in biochem who's currently in a huge fight with his gf and it's been super draining on them both. Everytime I see his drooping face...I'm reminded of Jay-Z's lyrics: "I've got 99 problems but the.....ain't one, if you got girl problems I feel bad for you son."
Go singlehood. Booyah!

Anywho, I've also realized that my blog postings have been consistently super duper shallow...if you get my drift. Perhaps it's a side of me that wants to entertain, then perhaps again I'm just a shallow guy. But I just wanna share something that I learned recently and it's given me new perspective.

[Jeremiah 18:1-6]
"This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD : "Go down to the potter's house, and there I will give you my message." So I went down to the potter's house, and I saw him working at the wheel. But the pot he was shaping from the clay was marred in his hands; so the potter formed it into another pot, shaping it as seemed best to him. Then the word of the LORD came to me: "O house of Israel, can I not do with you as this potter does?" declares the LORD. "Like clay in the hand of the potter, so are you in my hand, O house of Israel."


Just because we've screwed up in the past, it does not mean God cannot use us anymore. God can use any situation (even our failures) for His glory. That's something that I've been struggling with. Cause in the past I've screwed up many times in terms of sexual temptations (and still do at times). I've been in a relationship that was dishonouring to God and as well having an impure mind and heart. But I think slowly and surely God's teaching me that I will carry my sins no more as He is faithful to forgive. However, the scars of my sins will still be there to remind me of my failures, but it's also there to remind me of His great faithfulness. No matter how many times I fall and disobey, He's the faithful Father with His arms wide open.

Sometimes I feel really unworthy to serve...and I think that may be partly why I've been hesistant lately to be a leader/servant at fellowship/church/softball. And because of past mistakes, I don't wanna risk being in a relationship to repeat it again. Anyways, I thought that it'd be good if I started being more transparent on my blog...cause if people can still accept one another with their warts and all, beauty =)


[Ephesians 5:8-13]
"For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth) and find out what pleases the Lord. Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. For it is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret. But everything exposed by the light becomes visible..."
