you're a mystery yourself

9:20 PM

i've yet again been challenged by what i've heard and read over the past week.
Mark Sayers at lifegroup dinner challenged and brought about a wakeup call to who God is.
what 'the Sacred' means to each and every one of us.
Jesus is not meant to be our idol of worship. neither the cross of which we have symbolised so broadly to base our faith upon.
let's live out that relationship and the magnificence of Him.
letting Him be God and removing ourselves from the pedestal.
Christians have been on it for far too long. God's meant to take that place and work His way.
and yet the society and culture have made us box God up to the circumstances and ways he's previously come thru by and just limited by our thinking to what He could do.
i was really woken up to going back to when this thing all started.
to go back to that sacred place where i was WOW-ed by Him. amazed in His magnificence and just in awe of His wonder and grace.
and of it all... His love hung on the cross.
i want that whole new encounter all over again. chucking spiritual numbness to the far end of my mind and just experiencing God like i did when i first met Him.

the weeks have been passing well.
juggling between sch work and socials.. cutting back on sleep quite a bit.
been trying to work on my walk w Him as well. thus the above post.
not that i've been backsliding all the while and trying to keep up. but wanting to find new avenues and drawing closer to God as i should be.
it's been a good journey and God shown His faithfulness thru it nonetheless.
missing home now and then.
wondering how the folks are doing. caught up w mum and dad over the phone recently after quite a long while.
glad God's been taking care of them heaps.
looking forward to part of the extended family coming over next month too
hang out w the cousins! :)

till then .. it's less than a month to exams.
start of 1 month october madness.. =)
God is faithful no matter the times. AMEN!

&the beauty.
