begin to see the lack of depth.

Okay forget what I wrote a week back about it being homey and all having food at home. I am a glutton, especially at this time of the month because I eat, and eat, and ate non-stop. There’s currently alot of high sugar level foods like ICE CREAM THE KILLER, cheesecake, left over dinner, SNACKS THE SUCKER, etc. No, I never do want food at home anymore. No snacks. No food. Zilch.

However a remedy to all that binge eating is also known as Greg the Humanoid. He tells me of working out, and having the determination while I was whining about my dislike of running like a dog chasing after its own tail round after round, and guess what – I did EXACTLY just that.

There are seasons I thrive, and there are seasons I wilt. Times when I do extremely well, and times I want to hole up somewhere. Gaining strength, growing strength.

Hokay Law and Project Management tomorrow, let’s be proactive while hoping for the best.

You’re Enough.

July 27, 2008 denise Leave a comment

One thing that hits me again and again – God’s love for me is far and above what I can and cannot do.

I can’t comprehend that and I still cannot because I don’t see any logical reason in that. Yeah I may have all the explanations and analogies in the world, but I am still pretty much incredulous that His love is constant, even through the ups and downs. They say change is the only constant, but I think, i know! Christ’s love far supersedes that. (Oh, what an understatement. Will an exclamation mark prove my point further?)

Do you not get it – it is constant. Not changing, never. Always the same, even through your bitterest moments, through the down-est time in your life. Tell me, how can that be. I’m sorry, but I think I need a whole lifetime and beyond to grasp this concept.

As for right now, Lord what can I say. From the bottom of my heart, thanks, and thanks again for Your faithfulness when I’ve failed to reciprocate.

UPDATE.

July 24, 2008 denise 1 comment

Ah yeah, an update: I did go for the Biennale meeting yesterday. It was a little nerve wrecking, but I guess everything settled itself. I guess also that there’s the perceived commitment now. Hopefully there are not many mistakes to be made, and I’d be just able to enjoy the experience.

Also, I figured out why the brownie was so cakey. I used cocoa powder instead of melted chocolate! Ahh.. maybe another time – a few months down the road?

And, a very happy birthday Xue Ting! You’re 13 now, and I hope you enjoy your day very, very, very much! You are indeed a very treasured asset in the caregroup. I look forward to seeing you soon! And, when’s shepherding ah? :)

Something More (than squatting ducks).

Do not hope. Do something. Success comes only if you take the step forward towards your dream. Hoping simply means you wait and see.

- Tan Peng Kwee

I was wondering whether to proceed on with tomorrow’s Biennale meeting, but when I saw this comment I knew I couldn’t be wishy-washy anymore. As of right now – yes I am going for it.

So many of us have dreams. Ambitions. But I always think that it’d land into my waiting lap. I know it won’t, but subconsciously I was always willing to take on a wait-and-see approach.

Turning 18, this kind of life cannot continue. If I want to move on and make an impact.

treats!

Sunday was spent baking and slacking in at home. It was good, because I hardly do that. The banana bread was moist, like muffin but the brownie was too cakey, not brownie-ish. That’s rather sad because the display was really pretty..

I always have this mentality that kitchen equates food, and good food at that.  Think of sweet desserts on dinner table! Yet for a long time now, there are only raw food in its state and well I’m glad that’s meditated now.
