no rest like in the presence of God :)

To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it careful round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket---safe, dark, motionless, airless---it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable...The only place outside Heaven where you can be perfectly safe from all the dangers...of love is Hell. (C.S Lewis, The Four Loves)

for the 1st time in the year 2010, i decided to write an entry to my blog and hope that randomly people will still drop by and see this :)
still holidaying...which means i've got a lot of time to do what i want to do...
been on a disney cartoon movie craze ever since i saw that youtube has all these disney shows a few days ago... :)
watched beauty and the beast this afternoon and realise that it's more than just a pretty girl and a hideous beast...it's about looking beyond the appearances and finding beauty from within... :)
there was the beast with a hideous face, so hideous that belle was shocked when she saw him...but he was gentle and understanding...
another guy by the name of gaston...he had a pretty face and a strong physique that made the entire province look up to him, but he was pushy, arrogant and inconsiderate...
guess who belle chose? she fell in love with the beast despite his physical appearance...
everyone hopes for a prince charming...but belle knew she wanted more than just a pretty face...cool character! :)

random tot...change from someone who steals to someone who doesn't...obviously, that is change for the worse...how abt subtle change?...like change from having no opinions most of the time to having more opinions most of the time...how can one determine if this is change for the better or for the worse?...

the same song...listen to it on the bus with your eyes opened, free to be distracted by the many things that you may see as you gaze of the window...the song may be no more than a background music...listen to it when you're in your room where it's quiet, with nothing on your mind except to listen intently to the song...the song can minister to you...watch the live worship session on youtube intently...with the song playing and the image of the stage ministers worshipping God with their voices, their hands, their playing of instruments...the song can minister to you even more and can even draw your attention to God...was watching the video for "with everything" on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rSCE8uLuTJY...super ministered by it coz the musicians and singers really demonstrated how much they understand the song and that every line that they sing, they understand and sang it with all sincerity; and every note, every string plucked is done with so much meaning...i thought it had something to do with the arrangement of the song...but i realise that the arrangement is totally the same as the mp3, the mp3 that i had listened to on my way home but fell asleep listening to it...visual and audio...that's the power of stage ministry in its role of drawing people to the place of worship and to worship God...such a privilege...:)God, i really pray that You will use me to minister
