The Lord is my shepherd =)

Hi Everyone =)

Okay I have decided to blog today as recently I have been truly humbled by god and his love for everyone. Truly, even in my life or the people around me I truly see god’s presence in the tiny things of life. Let me start of by saying, my faith journey for the couple of weeks haven’t been at a high point but more likely the lowest it could be. I did something about 2 weeks back and thereafter I felt that the usual feeling I have, the sense of security and the presence of god around me missing, my body felt emptiness never felt before and my heart ached. There were days I would just lie in bed wondering if god will ever love me. True enough in my emptiness I have learnt many things.

Throughout my 2 weeks I have had god guiding me in a different way, not the usual presence and security I would feel but just different. It was through people, people whom I love & even those who I don’t really love. The people gods sent me this year for my faith journey are people who I have never expected to be close with. I have had interesting walks home after school where I truly see god’s presence when I think about it now, the conversations and the motivation god was giving me through that friend. I also had very difficult moments where the devil tempted me not to sin but to just give up on god, just give up on my faith and as my friend would say ” fall for the things of the world” And yeah , it was extremely painful and agonizing at times. But throughout all this I realize not so long ago that my emptiness and that insecurity was just a way god wanted me to be filled and to just surrender.

I haven’t been filled yet but I am learning to surrender. I am saying I learning to surrender because I know it am not 100% yet but I am getting there and I know it. I have sinned in the 2 weeks for sure but recently I have controlled and I have declined the devil but this was only possible because of god’s true grace. On Ascension I went to church earlier to go for ado and I did. During ado, I prayed and I pleaded god to be that shepherd of my life, to be that person who will be that guiding hand. And now, whenever I am tempted by sin, I make sure I will not fall because of my desire for god. However, I know in time to come I will be bound to fall but the great thing is that now even if I fall my desire for god will only increase and not decrease. I believe that god carried me this far and that is why I felt that sense of security and that feeling of fullness but now god has this rope around me and he is holding on to that rope as tight as he possibly can and he is running in front with it wanting me to chase him and in that way to yearn and to desire for him and truly go deeper.

Lastly, before I end my post I just want to say never give up hope especially at your driest points of your spiritual journey because at the end there is always a reward. I will just end of with the verse which is very relevant to me now.

The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not want.

He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside quiet waters.

Psalm 23.1

Mid Week ...stress

2009-04-15T08:03:00.000-07:00

Yo, Wat a week I am having...This week has been the most depressing and upsetting weeks. My heart feels so heavy and my head feels so jumbled. “When love is lost, do not bow your head in sadness; instead keep your head up high and gaze at the stars for that is where your broken heart has been sent to heal!” that a quote I think applies to me a lot. I should not bow my head in sadness and in sorrow but gaze up high looking and knowing that my heart will heal......my sorrows and misery will finally have an end and radical change. The value you love is greater than none other... that was how my day was at the start till the afternoon. In the afternoon it became worst and the situation grew bigger...I thought I will lose friendship I will not want to lose and I knew if I lose that valuable friendship I wouldn’t be able to bear the sharp pains piercing through my hearts...Life is a experience and sadness...happiness...excitement are just to make life more tasteful.... experienced that today. I realize friendship is really the key... and friends are never to ight for stupid things. This post may sound emo but it is in a way but not fully because it really made me appreciate many things in my life again.

Hello,
Okay I haven't been posting/blogging for a period of time due to lack of time>I have been extremely busy with school and stuff.>I had a great holy week. Maundy Thursday was great. It was actually a great help as I could pray well’s thought I actually connected with god quite well. Good Friday was great and Holy Saturday was a great touch with the Easter vigil. Really rocked. Then Easter Sunday and tithe family gathering was supeerb. Holy week has been a great experience that has allowed me to learn a lot and understand myself better. Now after the long weekend that I looked so much for is about to end in a few minutes...I get back on with my busy life aagain. Hiaz

Hi guys,
Okay, so I had quite a good day accept that I was kind of sick in the afternoon. After SLC duty when our SLC recess I ate too fast and I was swallowing everything trying to rush back to class and due to that I had a really bad head ache and vomiting but after I puked like 4 to 5 times and drank water it was better. Anyways today also changed my e z link card to the new one and I was really angry with the school because they put my primary school photo and that photo was taken when I was sick so it’s a really ugly picture but yeah. So btw then the best high light for today was my Nafa 2.4 when I actually got achieved the timing of 11 minutes 35 seconds and I was extremely happy that I have improved and at least it was a good part. The motivation was there today when I ran and I ran with Wayne and Aaron and I think we did a pretty good job so yeah. Then that’s about it ....I am very excited for tommmrow because it a new day, a very special day and most of all it’s a new month. I guess you will know why it is special when I blog tomro. Rock on guys

Greg. :)

Monday Blues

2009-03-30T06:42:00.000-07:00

Hello...
Hiaz today I am really upset and depressed because I had some problems today not big or anything. Firstly I think Monday blues of waking up an just feeling lazy and then to get straight to the point...it was recess and I was doing SLC duty and my friends were beside me and then they were kinda like disturbing me and then like someone who is important in my CCA walks past and then they shouted a stupid comment " eh Greg....wat did you say abt (important person) " and I stare blank and speechless at them. I am like oh shit and he definitely heard it and I was like I definitely am gonna get screwed for some reason' and yeah ...it was already bad enough and then I get scolded by a senior in SLC for not doing my duty which I wasn't because I was pissed and then my day continued as normal smoothly ...so yeah it was not that bad I would say. I am extremely for all my band friends who worked so hard for SYF and it really paid off...Band = Gold which is just great. Congratulation guys and you rock :)

Hello :)
Okay ... I am really extremely happy today. My happiness is due to many things today. First and for most today has been a very good day for me because of my friends and the people who I respect.

Firstly,

God: Thank you lord, for providing me with such good friends who stood by me and good seniors who motivate me and I pray that you bless them with abundance :) Amen.

Aaron: Hey, i am really happy that I have you as my friend. I am really grateful to god for providing me a friend like you...When I was upset and depressed you motivated and supported me and I mean seriously it was really a great help. Today, honestly have never tried to do my frills till the standard I did today...it may not be perfect but it definitely had my 110% effort and determination. My legs are aching now yes....but the happiness just overcomes the aching. Again, Thanks man and hope our friendship never ends :) May god bless you abundantly :)

Hello, okay this person probably doesn't know my blog URL so he can't be reading this but it is really important that I write this even though he is not going to read it. When you first took charge seemed really weak in my drills and probably was the most blur block you have ever met...haha and i know you would have probably gotten irritated ,annoyed and angry when i always repeated my mistakes again and again and still sucked.you nver gave up on me and recently i realised that my negative attitude of thinking that i am always making the same mistakes and giving up hope on myself was the worst thing but yeah when i tried to improve myself folling your instructions which you gave me ages ago its acctually turning out to work.I am probably not the best or not up to very good standard or anything yet but my achievement today may not have been very great either but i know today with putting in my heart and soul this the best i have ever done and so yes i am proud of myself.When you acctually appreciated me it acctually made my day and i guess that appreciation will give me the will power to improve & press on more and will prove it to the people who look down at me.Anyway,Thanks again for all your support,coperation and kindness.May god bless you abundently... :)
Greg :)

Okay

This is to all the random people who by a small or big way made my day today ....THANK YOU AND MAY GOD BLESS YOU ABUNDENTLY.

SYF is near and this affirmation goes out to my friends who are participating in it. I am writing this now because I might forget it.

Marc : Dear Marc....I consider you one of my good friends and I wish you all the very best in playing the Saxophone and I hope that your hard work and effort will definitely pay off with the Gold with Honors for band. :)

Gabriel : Hey Gabriel.... thanks for being there whenever I need help in case...I know it has been really stressful for you to manage your studies and preparation for SYF but your hard work will pay off too. Don't worry and Good Luck and all the best in getting Gold with honors. :)
Sarvin & Paul ...Good Luck to you too for the SYF. Take care and rock on :)

And also ...Well done Greg :) hahahaha thats for myself :)

Okay ciao,
Greg :)

The day went on with 2 periods of Chemistry where Mrs. Jean Koh was trying her level best to teach but she had to control Audy and Bastian and all and ha-ha yeah she had a pretty difficult time but actually their actions actually give the class some spirit actually so yeah and then we had POA where Ms Zab Chua came in and went through question 2 and she was like it’s the 1st day so I am going very slow and all that and we were like yeah okay :). We had physics after that and then Mr. Ng when he told us we just have 6 weeks to study and revise and its exams in the 7th week I realize that we are only having 28 days of school minus today and good Friday and my 28 days are just Monday to Fridays so yeah and I realize that we have to like really work hard.... oh serious sia then after that we had MS Toh who was so funny ...her actions in class made me laugh like a crazy idiot and yeah Hashanah .....then it was recess where I had to do canteen duty and my table no is 23 btw and So Yong was standing beside me with Edgar and we were like talking all the crap while doing duty and it was fun and then had SLC recess and after that me, Aaron, Joey we like ran up to the 4th storey and realize that there was no point in running already so we just walked to class and we had math’s where we watched a short videos which connected physics and similar triangles so yeah we had watched it and ten had Math’s lesson and it was okay then had SS after that. Today was like the best SS lesson ever because our SS test is postponed to next week and then we went com lab to do some research and fill up worksheet thing which was better than just sitting in the class and stoning and then Jacky kinda played Dancing queen and everyone was laughing at least I was ha-ha and then had mother tongue ....MT is just ordinary so yeah but the event happen then was the worst part of the day......... Ms ong come to Tamil class " May I speak to Gregory please " and I am like oh god wat did I do and go out and she is smiling at me saying " Gregory where is the content page I lent you that day " and I am like ermmmm ??? Ermmmmm?? I will pass it to you and then she is like okay but I actually lost it and I had not a clue how or wat I was gonna do and when I decided to go to class and check guess wat she was in class and I was like oh god and I walked away and then Ashiqq forced me to go back in and I was like no and I kinda stoned outside then doom doom doom ...Ms Ong walked out and walked passed me and I guess she already knew "Gregory!!! I am disappointed in you? I think I cannot trust you already" and I am like erm Ms Ong and trying to justify myself when I was in pure fault so yeah...hiaz that was really saddening...going to apologize to her tomro though again ...hiaz anyway came back home and finished all my work till now when I am finally blogging my whole day’s events and yes this was how my first day of term 2 was.
