Megalife service was awesome! We started a new series on growing up, speaker Ernie, whose parents were attending megalife, which was kind of weird. Anyway, he preached to us about independance. The ability to make your own choice is a God-given ability and at a certain age, everybody will want to make their own choices in life.
Many people may think that your decisions shape your world.
They are wrong!
Your world shapes your decision.
The environment that you grow up in, the school you grow to, the friends you have are all important factors that affect your decision. If the ability to make your own choices is a God-given ability, does that mean that I can do anything that I want to do?
NO
"If you create an act, you create a habit. If you create a habit, you create character. If you create a character, you create a destiny."
Making decisions are very important. Just a slip in your mind and you may end up in a place that you don't want to be. That will be quite terrible. Won't it?
Firstly, in order to make the right decisions, we need to honour and respect the authorities above us. That includes the government and teachers, church leaders and parents. Ernie gave us some very good examples, like remembering your leader's birthday and stuff.
I remembered Pastor Joyce's and Ming's. YAY! Jo rocks!!! You know how I remember? Pastor Joyce's birthday was the day that I got baptized so like, I sort of remembered. Novemember 18th. See? You have such a wonderful megalifer! LOL
I still remembered that on that day, we sort of barged into the staff room and sang Happy Birthday song to her. She was like stunned and..... I love Pastor Joyce!!! :)
We should also respect our friends even if they are not true. I firmly believe that not one of my friends are true. Even I am not a true friend, sad to say. I am working on it okay?
"The righteous should choose his friends carefully, for the way of the wicked leads them astray." Proverbs 12:26
A true friend is a friend to my destiny. A true friend is a friend that is Godly. I want a Godly friend, besides God. God is a fantastic friend, but i want somebody else, who can walk with me and talk with me wherever I go. God is wonderful, and I thank him for that.
For some weird reason, I have been skipping cells since the start of this month. I don't know the reason. Yesterday, so many cell members have asked me if I was staying for cell. I was really not in the mood, sorry. Sorry tiziana, heather, jae, sherwyn, shawn, samuel, dorethea and many more whom I have forgotten. I want to go cell, I feel that the Lord has been calling me back to cell. Yay, in cell, I feel loved.
There are only two places where I feel real Godly love. One is in church, either service or cell. The other is when I am spending time with God, be it praying or doing quiet time. Thanks God!
I am in a state where I am not looking forward to tomorrow. I sense that it will be a bad day, with bad things happening. I have a feeling that I will see Ahem tomorrow and I don't wish to. Oh dear, is that what the devil is doing?
Lord, hear my cry.

Ok, I just read ming's post on being happy even when you are not happy. I wasn't really blog hopping but I was visiting the cell's blog to gain inspirations and then i just felt like reading his blog.
Cool right?
You must be happy and laugh even when you are not. It will make you happy. It sounds like shit but I am really going to try it. Been feeling down these past few days. Ahem is angry with me. That was not my assumption. I can sense it somehow.
I shall try laughing everytime when a sad thing occurs. People may think that I am crazy, but I know that I am not. Like, I discovered that I am the only trying to find a solution to the Chinese acting thing, instead of groaning like I normally will, I am laughing.
It helps you know?
You should really try it.
People change when time change. I was stupid to think that people will stay the same way forever. Now I know my mistake. I have been down for the past few days because of this reason. After reading MEGAMING's post, I have decided not to brood over it and be happy. Happiness makes me happy!!!
Lots of people do not know why Ahem is angry with me. Actually, I lied the whole time. She may not be angry with me, but I am certainly angry with Ahem. It is a reason that I do not wish to share with anybody, least of all blog about it.
I did not see Ahem on Thursday, yea!!! Maybe it was because I prayed about it???
Am on the verge of recovering from a series of weird illness. Have to miss sports day because of it. Joanna must recover!!
When I wake up in the morning, I feel down, thinking about Ahem. Now, I am happy!!!
Thanks Wei Ming!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
The day is over

Good Friday service was fun yesterday, very fun! The theme was eternity, but I still think that the megalife theme is nicer. Our theme is Stolen!!! Even Ms Ling also agrees that our theme is nicer. Saw Ms Ling yesterday and got a bit shock. It was quite unexpected. I was like standing with daddy and Vina to wait for the worship centre to open, then suddenly Ms Ling was standing right in front of me.
I was like, er...... hi Ms Ling. Then she was like having a broad grin on her face, facial expression like: I told you I will spot you. The day before, we were chatting on msn and then Ms Ling was like saying she sure will spot me, then I a bit uncertain because in the atrium, there were lots of people, but she still managed to spot me in the end. She was wearing spectacles, she look kind of cute with it, like more intelligent, haha.
Then she went to the riverside resource and got engrossed reading a very thick book. I was like watching the rock fish shown on the television screen in riverside resource and they were like doing funny actions that are even worse than hi 5 so I laughed like crazy outside the book cum gift stall but Ms Ling, being too engrossed, did not hear me!!!!
Then we went up to the worship centre and pastor Joseph gave a welcome speech. The worship was a bit slow but ok. The drama was super nice! Geraldine acted like super good and cute! I really pity Lisa and now want Ms Ling to come online to chat with her about that, but she never.
I realised that whenever I want Ms Ling to be online, or like I want to find her, then she cannot be found. Then when I dun want to, then I will like bump into her on the corridor or something. It is a bit irritating. Anyway, pastor Vincent was preaching on the easter message and his message was exactly the same as last's year.
Even the God and men diagram also the same, the picture of the men also the same. Then he gave the lame example of Wei Ming and Wei Shi doing the I love daddy act again. I heard it like thousands of times. Anyway, thanks God for sending Jesus to die on the cross for me. I love you!
Forget to say, I love Ms Ling too!!!

This whole week has been ok, with just a few depressing stuff. Got full marks for the history colonialism source based and that sort of cheered my day up. Had a short talk with Ms Ling on the way to the HOD room. Her last sentence was," if you have anything you want to tell me, feel free to come and talk to me."
I took advantage of her last sentence and like kept passing by the HOD room yesterday during kaleidoscope. I think she a bit pissed off by us. Choir concert was ok, only felt very sad at the end when Ms Tham scolded us, almost cried out lound lah, nobody had any idea how much effort I had put into the concert, revising my scores DAILY the past few weeks you know!!!
Instead of like getting praised or something, I got scolded. Still got choir auditions which will be like job interview, sian lor!
Sherlyn can come for easter! I am so happy! But all she remembered like for last year's easter was the chocolate fondue. Diao! Must refresh her memories this easter! When I told Ms Ling that Sherlyn cannot stay for cell, then she was like," Cell only makan what, nothing one. Don't pressurised her first, let her go for service."
Erm, cell got lots of things besides makan ok? I think Ms Ling got a bit jealous of our chocolate fondue thing. A priviledged to megalifers. Some people from our church came to our school on thursday to film a short part of easter video. Sherlyn wanted Ms Ling to act. Lame right?
Cell chalet yesterday, did not go. Went to library to borrow books for the holidays. Failed my LA test so must study in the holidays. Maybe going for cycling trip in the holidays to excercise my legs. Yay! Ms Ling lent us the history book, can read! I love Singapore History!!!!!
Today got megalife again! Lokking forward to it. Prayer chain like got a bit of problem because Bridget never sms me but nevermind. We can start all over again.
Post till here and bye............... Joanna
