Sorry for the long hiatus :P Hope all of you are having a good holiday!
Y'know, recently, I was just thinking about how I want to spend this holiday. I never planned how I wanted to spend my holidays, because I always have so much on/going overseas, plus I always was so flexible with whatever I wanted to do, I didn't bother. But before the holidays, I really thought about how I wanted to spend the holidays. I wanted to finish my homework (urghhh) ASAP, preferably by the 2nd week of the holidays, and PLAY ALL THE WAY :D Okay, so it isn't coming along as well as I thought, because of the huge amount of homework to do, and the lack of motivation to hurry finish them all, but yeah.
I kinda thought of what William said, that we should take this holiday to do something for God. It doesn't have to be like, running around screaming I LOVE JESUS, but it can be something like, spending more time with God. For me, it's becoming closer with God, being more personal with Him. Nowadays, my devotions are not just 'politically correct answers', but more of my feelings, and how I can apply the verse to my life/situation. And I think I want to spend even more time with God, beyond just during devotion time. Once, in the morning, I just sat on my bed and started worshipping God (not for long though; I didn't want to wake my sister up :S). But you get the point.
Do something for God this holiday. Go out of your comfort zone. Forget Hannah Montana and natm2. Wait upon God in the silence and hear what He wants you to do, and do it. It takes courage to follow God's will, but it's ever so satisfying after that :)
I also want to encourage all of you to continue praying for the school, for our nation. I know it seems like all we do is pray, but we don't really see any results. THAT IS WHAT THE DEVIL WANTS YOU TO THINK. But our God not just works on stage; He works backstage as well. He's definitely doing something, just that we cannot see.
see! GOD WILL BE DOING SOMETHING AMAZING. I got totally excited when I saw this verse. I was like, oh YES, God is gunnah do something, uh-huh~ I have to be honest- my relationship with God hasn't been extremely good recently, and I never thought I would get so excited, BUT I AM. And I believe it's the Holy Spirit touching me, reminding of all the promises that God has made, that He would never leave us, nor forsake us, AND HE WILL DO GREAT AND WONDROUS THINGS. (i don't know if I spelt wondrous correctly, but that's not the point)"Look at the nations and watch—
and be utterly amazed.
