Sayonara 2010 ...

As every year comes to a close, you would hear comments such as "This year passed so quickly!" and "Time went by so fast!" ...

And its a time of reflection ... of the year that just ... whizzes by. What were the good things that happened? What were the bad things that happened?

It would usually be only the good and the bad highlights of the year that stays in our minds.. i mean, who remembers the mediocre stuff right? haha

But always remember, to praise God for the good stuff!! And to give thanks for all He provided.

As for all the bad stuff, reflect and think on how God has brought you through it, what you've learnt and all the help that you've received from others...

"When the oceans rise and thunders roar, I will soar with You above the storm. Father, You are King over the flood. I will be still, and know You are God." (by Hillsong)

The Meaning of Christmas

new news on NEWS!!

just a few hours after i posted old news on NEWS ...

we have new news on NEWS!!! well, not exactly the group per se, but one of the members a.k.a. Tegoshi Yuya (my sis fav)

Offical news!!!
Tegoshi Yuya will be starring in an upcoming drama scheduled for release in Jan 2011!!!

Drama Title: Deka Wanko (taken from a manga series by Morimoto Kozukeko, author of the famous Gokusen)

Genre: Comedy detective drama

Cast:
Tegoshi Yuya as Kirishima
Mikako Tabe as Ichiko Hanamori
Sawamura Ikki as Yanagi? (not very sure yet)

Synopsis:
Ichiko Hanamori plays a detective who wears lolli-type outfits and solves cases with her amazing sense of smell (whats with the plot??). Kirishima is her co-partner who, from my google-ing, is a hot-headed but super cool person (who maybe plays her love interest?). Yanagi is apparently Ichiko's senior who is a genius.

Can't wait!! *bounce bounce*

and most importantly ... can't wait for Tego to chop off those permed curly locks of his and have a new kakkoi hairstyle!!! XDDDDDD i'm sure lotsa fans agree with me haha

Heavenly Wisdom

i don't know what to do ... really need wisdom from above ...

Lord, please give me wisdom! As you said in Your word that those who lack wisdom should ask and You would give freely...

i resolved today to really just put in my best before i go. so things went better in today's meeting. i learnt, absorbed and understood better. praise God.

and He made it seem not so hard nor complicated. thank You Lord! but it is still really too much to do. can't take it. i have a headache today ...

anyway, back on track to the meaning of Christmas!
Number 2: The 2nd meaning of Christmas is dispelling the darkness!! Ever realise that the atmosphere around Christmas is so kira kira (sparkling) and a joyous occasion? The spiritual atmosphere is very important, as it's the time of giving and a time of joy!

So lets all join in to dispel the darkness!! *shoo! shoo! shoo!!* *stomp stomp*

High above my circumstances, I will bless You Lord ...

Psalms 119 sums up how i feel right now ...

107 I have suffered much;
preserve my life, LORD, according to your word.

114 You are my refuge and my shield;
I have put my hope in your word.

116 Sustain me, my God, according to your promise, and I will live;
do not let my hopes be dashed.
117 Uphold me, and I will be delivered;
I will always have regard for your decrees.

121 I have done what is righteous and just;
do not leave me to my oppressors.
122 Ensure your servant’s well-being;
do not let the arrogant oppress me.
123 My eyes fail, looking for your salvation,
looking for your righteous promise.
124 Deal with your servant according to your love
and teach me your decrees.
125 I am your servant; give me discernment
that I may understand your statutes.

126 It is time for you to act, LORD;
your law is being broken.

132 Turn to me and have mercy on me,
as you always do to those who love your name.

134 Redeem me from human oppression,
that I may obey your precepts.
135 Make your face shine on your servant
and teach me your decrees.
136 Streams of tears flow from my eyes,
for your law is not obeyed.

139 My zeal wears me out,
for my enemies ignore your words.
140 Your promises have been thoroughly tested,
and your servant loves them.
141 Though I am lowly and despised,
I do not forget your precepts.

143 Trouble and distress have come upon me,
but your commands give me delight.
144 Your statutes are always righteous;
give me understanding that I may live.

145 I call with all my heart; answer me, LORD,
and I will obey your decrees.
146 I call out to you; save me
and I will keep your statutes.
147 I rise before dawn and cry for help;
I have put my hope in your word.
148 My eyes stay open through the watches of the night,
that I may meditate on your promises.

153 Look on my suffering and deliver me,
for I have not forgotten your law.
154 Defend my cause and redeem me;
preserve my life according to your promise.

156 Your compassion, LORD, is great;
preserve my life according to your laws.

166 I wait for your salvation, LORD,
and I follow your commands.

169 May my cry come before you, LORD;
give me understanding according to your word.
170 May my supplication come before you;
deliver me according to your promise.
171 May my lips overflow with praise,
for you teach me your decrees.
172 May my tongue sing of your word,
for all your commands are righteous.
173 May your hand be ready to help me,
for I have chosen your precepts.
