Good question. I have no idea where. I don't fit in any 'group'. I don't know why. Well, perhaps I do know why, but that is my own sweet secret to keep, no? ;-)
What disturbs me is that there are many people out there, attempting to replace Jesus with something else. People nowadays are busy finding things/activities/whatsoever to replace their 'emptiness' with some worldly thing.
Attempting to avenge others.. attempting to 'pay back'.. tis funny how people MUST pay back evil for evil, yet rarely pay back good for good.
Then again, there are others who just seem to enjoy sucking others dry, not caring for others at all, preferring to bother friends over family. Why? They know friends won't scold them back.. family will. They know friends will just keep it in them, family will let it go on them. Incredibly selfish, if you ask me.
Selfishness.. seems to haunt all of us, doesn't it? I must admit I am selfish sometimes too.. when I feel that I have been taken advantage of too much. Then again, the Bible tells us to love unconditionally. So I try my very best not to hold a grudge, to love unconditionally. God knew how to test me all right. He tested me in a span of 1 year. Guess He knew giving me a few months would be too easy for me(but maybe not for others), hardly a test at all. And boy, I nearly failed that test. I hardened my heart. *Sorry Lord, but I'm human after all.. I'm trying my very best* I may have failed it. The good thing about my Lord is that He never gives up! =D
*Thinks* Oh no Lord! PLEASE! Not another year! *Sigh* There will be a very very different test for the next 2 years. If I pull through the next 2 years my stand in Christ will be very very much stronger. Sometimes we need to throw ourselves into situations that forces us to depend entirely on the Lord, or failure will surely happen. The next 2 years will not be ENTIRELY depending on Him, but way more than my previous years of schooling. It's a small step, isn't it?
Next year I will have to see how strong my stand is. How much of water in the cup that can be polluted. I pray, none at all. Yes, indeed I pray. Stand firm the next 2 years and I'm ready. Ready to face the real nasty world. :-D
God bless

hah! don't 'fit in' huh? same here la, my friend.... (;
Nah, I'm not sad about that. Truth be said, I'm pretty comfortable with where I stand now. I get rather.. uncomfortable when people start to pay too close attention to me. Perhaps I have 'hidden' secrets? :-P Hahaha! Nah, I just don't like the.. little breathing space a group gives. I'm a thinker you see... when I need to think I separate myself from others.. and people don't like that. *shrugs* :-D
;D
