It's definately a great learning experience!
So, do go grab a form and sign up ok!
Esp if you have nothing better to do at home.
You know if you sit in front of the TV long enough you'd
end up a potato couch! ( yes i mean a potato couch!)
at Bukit Cahaya Skytrex
There's a whole website here
We're gonna be ding the big thrill:
There are 23 challenges with names like 'Bermuda Triangle', 'Happy Hopper', 'Wobble Trouble' and 'Wild Revenge' which you may find humourous, that is, until you stand before them. I kid you not, the trail will sure to serve you that fear factor
so keep your 5th sept free! its gonna be fun fun fun. more details coming up.
as for the Orphanage trip, you gotta bug Phebes cos she's in charge.
she's been busy but dont worry we'll make it happen for you girls ok?
and as far as i know, the IceSkating outing is still on 15th august09
ill keep you girls posted ok?
FASTING month starts tmr!!!!
what have you girls decided to fast on?
(nope, you cant fast from homework ok!)
we're suppose to fast from things we are just so used to doing everyday.
cos many times, we focus too much on our earthly routines that we sometimes loose our hunger for GOd.
example, when you're tired or annoyed or empty you could sometimes resolve to snacking and eating(basically just munching anything bcos it keeps you occupied) it may or may not be a conscious habit but you should know that only GOd can fill us spiritually la. so maybe there's where you need to fast from your habitual eating habits.
or it could be the internet, blogging, TV, PSP, facebooking ( many times we just look to these things to fill our emptiness without really knowing so. )
Bcos it's just soooo eay to click on the TV or log onto the internet and start chatting away on MSN when Im pissed off at something or sad or PMSing or annoyed and irritated.
Bcos it's so much easier to ignore God and just dwell in earthly habitual routines.
seriously, it's so easy to just ignore or forget God that
it's scary how much the world's distractions can do.
but that's where i wanna challenge you girls to take charge of your spiritual lives and begin to block out these distractions. (im not saying that facebooking or TV is bad or that you should stop doing all these things and become a monk!)
nope, there's a great difference when you are able to stop yourself and to be able to connect with God throughout the day; letting God fill up our empty souls instead of threading on in the world on emptiness.
cmon, I challenge you girls!!!
:)
maybe you'll fail the first few times you try. it doesnt matter. at the end of the day, what really matters is that you spent time praying and building on your relatonship with God!
Fasting is about making that connection with God out of your mundane lifestyle, and perhaps letting GOd change your lifestyle.
just so you know, i'll be fasting from food and my favourite TV series!
Gambatte!!!
you girls can do it with God's strength ok!!
love ya,
ggg
