| 6 September 2001 Wow, I've never actually written twice in one day. But I guess cause I've only got one class on Thursday, this could be considered my free-est day:) Anyway, it's Rekha's birthday today. SO happy 19th to her!! :) Besides that, I've basically updated the page adding a few more people who actually took the trouble to fill up the Questionaire. I actually just took my laundry out of the dryer and it's now the most difficult part of the process-the folding. I used to get backaches from folding the clothes. Anyway, I think I'm physically falling apart. For instance, my knees start to hurt after playing tennis for more than 2 hours. I guess it has to do with the way I hit the forehand, to much of my weight is balanced on one foot thus exerting a bit too much pressure on one knee. Not that you guys needed to know that:) Besides that there's a corn on my foot that hasn't healed for the past month. It's getting to be quite icky, but if you wanna to see a picture of it, I'm sure that would be possible for a low fee of only $5.95. That way, I can afford to get myself a corn plaster:) Oh yeah, there's also this blister on my right hand.... The song I'm listening to right now is "All in all" and it is really having some profound impact on me at this moment. I'm sure some of you church going ppl are familiar with it. The line that really stands out for me personally is "when I fall down You pick me up, when I am dry you fill my cup, You are my all in all..." God has really been so good to me and as much as I detest being here in US, I know God has a purpose for me. I read that God will hear your prayer when there is brokeness or in other words, a sense that you need something more than this world can offer. When you come to that realization that there's got to be more to life than just our usual routines in life, then you know that perhaps, there's more to God than just church on Sunday. The reason I brought up that line from the song is because He really has picked me up when I was down. Goodness knows how many times I was down when I first came to US about 12 months ago. I think it's safe to say that those first few months were one of the worst in my life. I really needed someone to turn to and I honestly didn't know if anyone could really understand my situation. I wanted someone I could cry out to, someone I could just let out all my pent up frustrations and in the midst of all this, I found God in a way I've never viewed Him before. The comfort I found by praying and just letting him know how I felt was truly undescribable. I just pray that all of you will one day be touched by His love and peace. I'm not trying to shove the gospel down your throats. I'm just sharing my experiences with you guys because I know that we each have grown through our share of hurts, rejections and low times. God loves you and He wants you to put aside all your preconceived ideas about Him. Just give Him a chance. Please. On that note, I think I'll stop thinking out loud for today. And also, I've got a class in 30 minutes and I need to 'mandi kerbau' as Angie calls it:) You know, I would love to hear from you guys whenever you're free. So just drop me a line by email, even one line is fine:) Least I know you're still around and haven't eloped off to some weird country:) |
