IN or OUT?
That is indeed the ultimate question in our lives today.
Are we living a life for Christ?
Are we living a life like Christ?
Are we living in God's kingdom?
Nowadays we are so caught up in our own daily lives, going about our businesses, that we actually forget who we are living for. Oh, i have fallen short of His glory.
To be IN and enjoying the fullest of His blessings, we need to
1) be scripture filled
the key themes being
a. love and forgiveness
b. purity
c. authority
2) be spirit filled
3) be serving
The message today has hit me hard.
Yes...I choose today to live my life for Christ, like Christ, in God's kingdom.
Just like what my blog heading says: "I have decided to follow Jesus, no turning back, no turning back"
Amazing lyrics of a song. Let me believe in it with all my heart.

No excuse
Reality has dawned on me that I am not handling all that I have been given these few weeks. Job attachment, score writing, musical practices, SATs, homework etc. are all piling up, giving me the huge task of trying to manage my time properly. Maybe its because I have been doing this on my own strength, living my life each day so blindly. I only turn to You at night when I reflect on the day, and I realised how much I have failed in living each day for You. I need to come back to my first love. Recalling the june holidays reminded me of how much I have drifted. I know being busy is no excuse, and is even a good reason for turning to You even more. Lord, please revive my hardened heart.
Psalms 1:
1Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
2But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night

Finally over...
Boy am I glad that bio olym is over, at least for now. Solid 3 hours and 30 mins of mcq, 200 mcqs in all.
As i was going through each paper, the song Surrender kept playing over and over again in my head. "And I surrender all to You, all to You... I'm giving You my heart...I'm giving You my dreams."
It meant so much that I was giving it all to Him as I did the papers, for I knew He was right there. At various points where I was about the give up, a voice kept telling me to just give my best. Really tired, but He kept me going at it.
"I lay it all down for the sake of You my King..." It is already a miracle that I even got into through the 1st selection test for bio olym, let alone taking the actual papers. Absolutely amazing how He has worked in my life.
Now, I know truely that even when we encounter failures along the way, His compassion and mercies will hold us up, and He will never let us fall.
Through the Lord's mercies we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. —Lamentations 3:22

Sums it all up!
1 John 2:15-16
"Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world."
