True Worship

Verse of the day:

Romans 12:1-2

1 Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God - this is true worship.

2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is - his good, pleasing and perfect will.

As I just ponder upon this verse, I notice that we will not be able to test and approve God's will, no matter how good, pleasing and perfect it is...until we are transformed by the renewing of our minds.

Living a life by offering my body as a living sacrifice..to give up all that comes natural to me in order to please God as an act of true worship..it is indeed the toughest thing to do.

But I am learning..and am still learning with a lot of help.
From mentors like Gordon and soon Ps. Reynold for spiritual leadership mentoring..I think it will really help..I hope.

Anyway, it's really tempting when you get something you least expect.
You feel like jumping on the bandwagon but you have to hold yourself back and examine the situation before proceeding...

Well, I'm at that situation now.
It's really tempting..but I have this inner me telling me to hold on and examine.
Well, once again I can only submit it to Him.

He is after all my source of strength and wisdom and everything that is within me.

Ok lah, just felt like venting out some of my inner feelings.
Never too good to keep them in too long:)

Till the time comes again for me to update this blog, nites!

Thoughts:)

It's been awhile since I updated my blog..like really awhile.
Well, nowadays I've got nothing much to write about.
Or I have tons and I don't know how to simplify it and put it in words.

Despite my previous emo post, I believe that now I'm a bit better.
I think it's a combination of work + less awkward moments + good company.
But I'm superbly tired though.:S

Sometimes I wonder if I will ever get back on track.
If I will ever be successful in life even if I really wanted to.
If I will ever be able to get out of the rut I'm stuck in.

I just can't see the end of the line. I know I'm not supposed to.
But all I can really do is to commit it all unto Him.
The sovereign God.

I'm glad that He has provided many things for me.
Despite my moments of weakness, He provides me with His grace.

I'm just hoping that by this year, I would be able to progress then degress in my walk.
That I would be able to do the things that I know I have to do.
And to overcome the weaknesses that have been bugging me.

Hmm..:)
And I think until I'm done with it, I can never really move on.
Be it into a relationship or in other aspects of my life.

Well, no point rambling on and on.
Time to put it into action:)

I Love You, Man was really funny and I didn't particularly fancy Angels and Demons.
Looking forward for Terminator Salvation and Transformers 2 though. Anyone up for it?:)

Good night world.

Moody post.

So I thought it wouldn't happen.
And so I thought I wouldn't do anything.
I thought the world was a happier place with simple rules to live by and simplicity guiding it.

I don't know who I am anymore.
I don't even know if it's worth being so simple minded and so honest anymore.
Nice shouldn't even be part of the question.
I can't even be naive anymore.

I don't even know why I'm acting the way I do.
So many questions.
So few answers.

The fear of rejection is something I definitely need to handle.
Work place, social place, relationships..all the crap.

My reflection of life is .... there's so much to do and so little time.
So many things to repair and improve.
So many things to experience but limited exposure.

I think I am utterly afraid of abandonement.
And it's definitely an issue I have to deal with.

I don't know la.
I wish all these thoughts would just die. :(

Anyway, Star Trek was awesome!
Recommended to watch for the awesome sound and visual effects plus the story.
