X-RAYs..

it's 1.38am.. and i'm still awake.

im compelled to mark this moment of my life down... or rather.. the life of a friend with whom i've shared much of my college life with.

within our circle of friends, he was the one who didnt know Christ.

both his sisters, have, against the parents' wishes became christians.

one conversation we had was distinctly embedded in my mind..
y: i cant become a christian.
me: why do you say that?
y: cos both my sisters are..and my parents are counting on me to burn incense for them when they pass away. as the only son in the family, i must not forsake such practice of fillial piety.

Since the day he accepted the Lord...his entire perspective changed. One would have never imagine that, with the freedom he had while pursuing his ambition, came the freedom to embrace God as the one in control of his life.

Indeed, such a life-changing testimony is an encouragement to all. It's like the parable of the sower - the seed that has fallen on good soil. In due time, the harvest is reaped - the flower blooms ever more so beautifully.

He's a friend whom i have owed much to - my gratitude, and an apology - for not being a friend til the end.

I am truly sorry. Please. Forgive me.

World Religions..

world religions actually came in handy! *surprise *surprise..

bible study was on monday nite. Janice, one of my juniors, she attended it as well. she was telling me dat she's a Bahai. for those of you who have yet to know what bahaism is all about, i shall attempt to enlighten you..

Bahaism - a religion founded in Iran in 1863; emphasizes the spiritual unity of all humankind; incorporates Christian and Islamic tenets; many adherents live in the United States; "Bahaism has no public rituals or sacraments and praying is done in private"

We spent some time talking bout Bahai House of Worship and d centres located around the world. One should make full use of one's knowledge to strike up an intellectual conversation. :D oh well.. what can i say but..

thank you, Ms.Rajshree!

*subjected to change if i happen to fail WR -.-

Even a fool who keeps silent..is considered wise

have you ever said something and immediately want to take it back? or, maybe just a remark that you have never given a thought to, but it meant a lot to whom you were referring to.

The tongue has the power of life and death,
and those who love it will eat its fruit. - Proverbs 18:21 -

so when u realise the hurt you have caused.. the damage is done. one such rule states that: all that was released from your mouth cannot be taken back.

heard of the saying,

sticks and stones will break my bones, but words can never harm me?

that is so not true.

the bible says our words can be used to build each other up, or tear each other down. often than not, we do the latter, knowingly or unknowingly.

"Whoever restrains his words has knowledge, and he who has a cool spirit is a man of understanding. Even a fool who keeps silent is considered wise; when he closes his lips, he is deemed intelligent." - Proverbs 17:27-28 -

be wise with words.

You had my heart
and we'll never be world apart
Maybe in magazines
but you'll still be my star
Baby cause in the Dark
You can see shiny Cars
And that's when you need me there
With you I'll always share
Because



[CHORUS]
When the sun shines
We’ll shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be your friend
Took an oath
I'mma stick it out 'till the end
Now that it's raining more than ever
Know that we still have each other
You can stand under my Umbrella (2x)
Under my umbrella (3x)



[VERSE 2]
These fancy things,
will never come in between
You're part of my entity
Here for Infinity
When the war has took it's part
When the world has dealt it's cards
If the hand is hard

Together we'll mend your heart
Because ...

[CHORUS]
When the sun shines
We'll shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be your friend
Took an oath
I'mma stick it out 'till the end

Now that it's raining more than ever
Know that we still have each other
You can stand under my Umbrella (2x)
Under my umbrella (3x)

[BRIDGE]
You can run into my Arms
It's okay don't be alarmed
(Come into Me)
(There's no distance in between our love)
So Gonna let the rain pour
I'll be all you need and more
Yeah Read let's go look....
Because ...
