It's two days after Christmas...
It's two days after Christmas and there's lots to learn from this week already. Haha.
Well i was just thinking... Christmas is a time to be joyful and celebrate Jesus coming to our world. So it's kind of like celebrating Jesus' birthday. But somehow I've never really put my focus on Jesus, the birthday celebrant, in all my years of celebrating Christmas. I kinds feel bad about it. But oh well, I'll just have to try hard to get it right next year.
I went for the SMOTA charismatic group BBQ yesterday. It rained for i think about 40% of the time we were there. But I learnt a lesson there too. When it started to rain in the first part of the BBQ, I would have expected people to be sour and bitter at the weather, instead the group turned the situation into a joyous occasion. It was amazing. I realized that regardless of the situation we can still choose to be happy and praise the Lord... Even if things don't go our way. It was really a marvelous experience. The group were praising God in song in the rain and people were all smiles.
Oh and today wasn't really very eventful. It was fulfilling, enjoyable, and satisfying but not eventful. Sometimes the best things in life are the simple things right? Ya. I had my first taste of getting high from alcohol and it was GREAT! Haha. I want to do it again. Whee... Hmmm... then after a talk with a friend i finally realized that i had been too hard on myself since i was 9. Whoa. Haha. Ok so i'll try not to be too hard on myself.
It turns out that life seems to be more and more interesting and exciting to me as i knock down more and more of my psychological barriers... Whoo hoo!
