If there is one thing that I ask for in life, I would like to be more courageous.

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
WHen the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit
Rest if you must, but don't you quite.
Life is queer with its twists and its turns,
As every one o us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about
When they might have won, had they stuck it out.
Don't give up though the pace seems slow,
You may succeed with another blow.
OFten the struggler has given up
When he might have captured the victor's cup;
And he learned too late when the night came down,
How close he was to the golden crown.
Success is failure turned inside out
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far;
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit,
It's when things seem worst that you musn't quit.

Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, I will try again tomorrow.

I don't like to be taken for granted.

Psalms 143:7-8
Answer me quickly, O LORD;
my spirit fails.
Do not hide your face from me
or I will be like those who go down to the pit.

Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love,
for I have put my trust in you.
Show me the way I should go,
for to you I lift up my soul.


A day feels like eternity, with moments of glaring into nothingness, hopes of acquiring things that offer instant yet temporal gratification. I have come to realize that there is a time for everything to take place. A time to associate and a time to dissociate. A time to fall in love and a time for shattered hearts. A time to bear the thunderstorms and a time to rejoice at the sight of the rainbow. He has made everything beautiful in its time. Time however eludes our grasp with tarnished dreams, skewed visions, broken hearts. It seems impossible to justify the promises lay down by the Son of Man. Our efforts sowed does not commensurate with the rewards reaped. But as I looked at the cross, I began to comprehend. That all the world's a stage. And we are living for the audience of one. This I started the realization, that nothing else really matters, for it is my relationship with God that truly counts.

Today's discipleship bible studies was truly mind-blowing. It left me thinking about how I view life and people. From now onwards, you shall be the potter and I shall be the clay. I shall be moulded and tested and refined and cooled till I become like you. I ask God for everything to enjoy life, but God answered "no", I shall give you life to enjoy everything. How apt is it!

She's just not that into you.
