Organising I-Life

Hey Guys,

Well, this year, i was approached by Rosie and she asked me if i want to help organize I-Life events. Well, is been two events already and I am finding it a little bit tough because I have been lazy and a little unorganized which is generally not in my character to be unorganized.

I really hate doing things last minute and im feeling like not getting support from my life-group. But at the end of the day, when i really think about it, I know that it is my fault for not bringing the ideas and organizing things earlier in advance. But I think all this is just to help me learn to be better in time management and to be more organized.

i really thank God for Rosie for giving me an opportunity to grow to be more organized and better management. But i guess in the end of the day, I should really Praise God for giving me this opportunity to do this cause I find it difficult to reach out to my friends who do not know God and is throught i-life events is where i can generally get my friends to come.

I don’t care if they don’t believe in God or not but the one thing I care for my friends is that I want them to be with the right people or making good friends,friends that are good influence. I-life events i think is the most important event for our life-group because is generally where this places are where non-christian will enjoy and also feeling comfortable cause we won’t scared them with things like Praise and Worship or praying in tongue. Also i-life events is where doors are open, if you think about it, most of your friends who u invite to church would have went to an i-life event because they might find something interesting about this group.

Oh well, share something you guys, I have a dream one night, i don’t know if is funny or weird but i saw my life-group one day having a i-life event at UQ and they were having a picnic. I was like ok, arriving there early as usual cos i always love to come early for meeting if possible soon when all my life-group member starting to arrive, i saw them bringing friends to the picnic but it wasn’t just one or two friends but i saw that it was a huge group of friends is like the whole course has come. And seing the great court fulling up with people. I was amazed with the amount of people. And that was my dream. Weird hey?..haha

Oh well, Im off now, got a whole day tomorrow…Going fishing so so excited

UNI

Hey Guys,

I have one more week till my second year starts and i got to say, i am quite excited and scared at the same time. Well, I pray that this year will be different than last year.

This year is a different year because i am majoring into Chemical Engineering. I am a little afraid that Chemical Engineering is not for me so this year is very important or this semester is really important for me. This year I have to start all over again. why?

Reason is I wont be seeing most of my friends that I hang out with them during uni last year. I don’t know if this is a good thing or bad thing. To me, I think it is a good thing in a way, sorry if i offend my friends but i do kind of like it to be a little away from them cause they did kind of distracted me last year and cause me to be a lazy and not feeling to study. I mean they will still be my friends and is just that I wont be hanging out with them a lot. As there is a saying “You will become like your group, do things the same, pretty much u will look like them because you hang out with them”, that is why is a good advice is to hang out with a better group that you think you wont go away from God or affecting your life in a way.

That is why I really thank God for my life-group. I think that it is one of the best decision to hang out with them, spent time with them every friday and sunday. Just doing life together, having someone to talk to and knowing that there is a group that is running the same race with you. I am not saying that the group i hang out in Uni is bad, is just that sometimes, we must have a control over ourselves when we hang out with them,knowing your own limits and boundary.

I am not scared about uni, about failing again or even my life. I really believe that God will be with me because in Proverbs 3:5-6 it says
“Trust in the LORD with all your hear and lean not on your own understanding;in all your ways acknowlege HIM, and He will make your path straight.”

So i am going to trust God for everything I do, for my uni, for my life. I give God control over my life. I will not worry because I believe this year God will change me. My uni life might be different but God is the same the past,present and forever, God is never changing. I know God will be with me no matter what cause Joshua 1:5 says
“So i will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you”

So yea I believe more this year from God.

Arugments

Hey,

Two nights ago, my mother decided to have a long chat(when i meant by chat, usually she will kind of like lecture me) with me till like 3am in the morning. Well,it wasn’t just my mother talking, i was talking as well..well,it got pretty ugly and we ended up having a argument but not a loudly argument.

Sometimes, the topics my mum bring up, i disagree sometimes but somehow it really hits hard in my heart and it always makes me think about it. I never knew i have a issue of being selfish and not really care for others. The fact that I take people for granted. That really pisses me off because I am that sought of this person. A person would love to take people for granted.

She says that I take my whole family for granted and that I care more about friends than family. She says i rather wake up early to do things for my friends but somehow cannot manage to wake up early to help my parents with their stuff. Why am I that kind of person? putting friends before family. Taking my family for granted. Am i not caring for them enough or maybe im just a person who is selfish?

Well,then i guess i better start learning not to be selfish and concern for others more especially my family and not to take them for granted and thinking that im leaving in a hotel.

From my heart
