Rachel wants to be the best Rachel that Rachel can be...

Cornerstone's been having a lot of great preachers recently...all of which really thought me more about God and encouraged me to pursue Him. I wanna know more about the God i serve. Cause He's a Great God and He's my Heavenly Father.

Been crying a lot the past few weeks during the sermons at church. Yesterday, the preacher (Ps Mario) shared this very touching story about a guy named Young and how he managed to achieve what people thought and said that he could never do. And when Ps Mario asked him what his goal was, he replied: Young wants to be the best Young that Young can be."

I was in tears approaching the end of the sermon cause to me, this is what life is all about. And this should be the way we ought to live. True victory does not emerge when you're competing against another. Cause there'll always be someone better than you. But true victory is derived from overcoming oneself...to be the best that one can be. :D

Jan just flew by and since then, my schedule's been hectic. Really treasure those times when i could just slack in front of the TV without a care in the world. But i thank God that my time is spent more fruitfully, or rather, so it seems.

Recently, I learnt the importance of boundaries and why they should not be crossed.

The difference between what's right and what's wrong is only a fine line and all the more one will tend to compromise. And that's just all it takes for one to cross that line. So I guess i'm just gonna stick to certain things rigidly. Especially my principals and values. Doesn't matter what you say.

I've decided to go for NIE this year. While attending the talk on Sat, I realised that my decision will more or less secure the next 8 years of my life. 4 years studying in NIE and 4 years serving the bond as a teacher. It's a scary decision to make but I love children. They are my passion. Oh...did you know that the Greek word for passion is pathos, which means suffering? Something i learnt yesterday at church. It's true though. You'll have to pay a price for what you're passionate about... :)

Endurance, Perserverance and Persistance.

Clean-up needs to be done.
Lessons need to be learnt.

Entrusting myself to the Potter.

I learnt something valuable today.

That there's nothing to fear, or be intimidated about.
