Romans 12

"Therefore,I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God - this is your spiritual act of worship."

In seeking God's righteousness and His kingdom, we have to offer our bodies as living sacrifices, that is, to give our lives completely to Him. This is not an easy thing to do, I can guarantee. Becoming a Christian is an ongoing relationship that has to be maintained. In so doing, we have to make many sacrifices such as abandoning our sinful activities, forsaking our self-centeredness and obsession in worldly issue, etc. I'm sure that each and every one of us has in our personal life testified to this difficulty in carrying out a Christian life. But rest assured that God has promised not to give us crosses that are to heavy to carry and that his peace flows through us as we suffer. It's a worthy cause, an experience that can transform your very life. In becoming what God has created us to be, we can find fulfillment and satisfaction, regadless of the costs.

Remember that we are taught, in the book of Matthew, to "seek the kindgom of God and his righteousness first, before all other things may be added unto us." At times, we can lose focus in life, and forget that we have as Christians a higher purpose in being God's followers. Pray, that we may be able to concentrate on that purpose and always remember to put God as first in our hearts.

Romans 12 also teaches us not to follow the ways of the world, but be "transformed by the renewing of our mind", as we strive to do God's will.

Lord, school has been busy and very tiring at times. In these moments, I admit I have neglected you and forgotten my place in this world. I ask for pardon and I pray that you bless me with the gifts you have equipped me with and help me to use them well in carrying out your will. Help me not to shift my gaze on you, and strengthen me, O Lord, that I may have the energy and spirit to obey your commands and be a living example of your love for us. We all have our own problems, Lord, I ask that you may help us to solve them accordingly. Help us to always remember that You are the Lord our God who never fails. Amen.

Hey guys! Yup that is my QT done after a longgg break. March hols went by quickly with house camp and ODAC camp. Both camps were great and fulfilling. New friends were made and it's just amazing how God place different people into our lives. I really hope that I'm able to make a small difference for the people around me.

Anywaysss, I'm really lagging behind for my studies and I've been sleeping alot during lectures and even tutorials. It's really bad. And tomorrow is ODAC JTS ( Junior Treat Senior) at New York2 !! YAY LOL. No, it's not exciting at all with the prospect of having a huge hole in our wallets at the end of the day! On top of that, there's still ODAC chalet + bbq on Friday and phoenix cheer JTS on Sunday. Hallelujah. LOL. But it's alright, it's gonna be a great time. Okay, I really need rest. Pray for me yea? Nights!

Hey people (:

It's been ages yea?
Hmm, school's been really hectic and tiring, seriously. Currently, I'm trying to juggle badminton, odac, house comm (and cheers) and my studies altogether. And now, I'm rushing through my stupid bio project. Haha, oh well. VOG is next friday! So that means I'll reach home at 10pm+ everyday from tomorrow onwards! Yay!

Right. On a lighter note, new friends are made everyday, and I've got the chance to grow closer with my classmates and other people.

Been sleeping in lectures all the time man. And I havent taken communion for 2 consecutive weeks! Omg. Coz I've been going for rites for confirmation and I didnt go for the second mass to take communion. Alright, I've to go for confession.

Sigh, my march hols are burned also. ODAC camp, house camp, and my badminton teacher is planning to get me to go for training in between the two camps (coz there's a badminton camp in between also). Great. Thank you, Miss Lee! Or whatever your name is, I forgot, sorry! Haha.

Chow!

Give me strength, Lord.
