Psalm 18:34 It is GOD that girded me with strength;
that made my way perfect
Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth
Would care to know my name
Would care to feel my hurt
Who am I, that the bright and morning Star
Would choose to light the way
For my ever wandering heart
Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are
I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours, I am Yours
Who Am I, that the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love
and watch me rise again
Who Am I, that the voice that calmed the sea
Would call out through the rain
And calm the storm in me
whom shall i fear
whom shall i fear
i am yours
Who Am I

im reading this book: The power of the positive teen
it rather impactful, i think it really applies to me and how i view the way i live and how to cope with my lifestyle. before reading this book, one of my personal m0ttos was already to stay positive and optimistic despite the circumstances..i think many people dont know that or cant tell from my actions, but being optimistic for the past few months has kept me happy and alive (i mean, yes kpop also contributed to me being happy- just listen to the SM Album songs)
but more than that, it about feeling happy with my strengths and to stop mulling over my own weaknesses.heres a short excerpt from the book:
-Be glad about our weaknesses: Because the reason why we are upset with ourselves is not beacuse the way God created us , but becuase of our own choices..We can replace our low self-esteem with CHRIST-esteem![how cool is that] Read Romans 5:3-11 for a better understanding
its time to get my bum off and start studying.
im feeling uneasy [but not depressed, im supposed to be a happy and positive teen remember?]due to 2 things: - the fact that im missing exco meetings AND CE just to study.is that a correct choice? i dont know,beacuse its really my own choice to make. sometimes i feel as if im letting the youths down and GOD down because i m really unable to serve as wholeheartedly and joyfully as before because of prelims and O levels
- i dont want to be critical of people who get emotional and all hyped up over small matters! i feel bad for judging those who are totally different from me in terms of emotional quota: okay i mean, it doesnt exactly irritate me, but sometimes i just feel like saying:'cmon just get over it, its no big deal'..its as if i feel that people who get so emotional and worked up easily are weak in nature, being unable to suppress their feelings and get on with the more pressing things/tasks ahead in the day or week. its really mean, i know..but thats how i feel. but maybe because they're different, me on the other hand, can get over things easily without having the suppress whatsover feelings intentionally
