"Has it ever occured that while we're waiting for God, God's actually waiting for us?"

you know,
ive tried to do a post like 5 times now...
and i think for now ill just drop 3 things

first up's something i learnt from Monash CF devotion the other day...
(who says people dont remember devotions i prove you wrong)

this big guy was talking about his unofficial missionary work aroun places and how he had to go (and is currently studying in) BCM. Good guy, very honest.
know what i thinks the most attractive atribute a person can display? comfortability with ones self. a person who knows and accepts who he is can be miles more attractive then an insecure person. but i digress.

well, i thought this was very interesting because its so very well constructed and relevant:

4 Problems We Face:

- Primal pain of the Heart
- Cynicism of the Mind
- Paralysis of the Will
- Over-crowding of the Soul

Akhir skali,

and i found this piece of paper with Michaels writing on it (anyone could tell it was Michael's writting)
There was a song written on it and it was from AIM times...
(see, how old the junk i keep in my room)

i had no idea how the song went till i began to read it... then the tune sorta followed...

"It's crowded in worship today
As she slips in
Trying to fade into the faces
The girls' teasing laughter is carrying farther than they know
Farther than they know

A traveler is far away from home
He sheds his coat
And quietly sinks into the back row
The weight of their judgmental glances tells him that his chances
Are better off on the road"

Sounds familiar? Man, AIM days... great stories there ;)
oh, i can SO imagine Kat singing this...

"Jesus paid much too high a price
For us to pick and choose who should come
We are the Body of Christ" - Casting Crowns

I needed this, maybe you do too...

Nehemiah 8:10
This day is sacred to our Lord. Do not grieve, for the joy of the LORD is your strength."

Psalm 73:26
My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

La vie est délicat

how dyou find what cannot be seen,
where dyou buy what cannot be bought;
how dyou go to places you cant,
to win the battles you once fought.
-
dyou do what your heart tells you,
how dyou refuse what you really want;
how dyou still start after so many stops,
to still stride when you're the last one.
-
how dyou give up giving up,
how dyou resolve to not end;
how dyou ascending a descending escalator,
when dyou stop being just man.
-
how dyou break life at your own hands,
with not a drop of blood seen later;
how dyou stare down a knife's brink,
how dyou tear a tissue paper.
-
how dyou give birth to ingenuity,
how dyou set growth into motion;
how dyou move the waves when you sing,
how dyou prosper a barren ocean.

I plucked this out of some facebook group page...
This stuff is HILARIOUS
made my day, a few days ago...

I Appreciate Christian Pick-Up Lines

(i know, y so many long ones...)

Finally, i think this the best part la (from the description section):

"It's crazy that so many ppl have joined, hopefully the lines are spreading far and wide.
Few quick admin matters.

1) If someone suggests the speaking in tongues pick up line once more i will personally come round to their house and get all Old Testament on them.

2) Don't post anything about these lines not working. 60% of the time they work everytime."

Any favorites? (i think no.44 is the best out of the list...)
haha or maybe a top5 list? send to comments part...

Eh disclaimer bout the verses yeah (for non-Christians and Christians alike..):
most are taken out of context. So dont take them literally...
