dare to dream. dare to get hurt. take the risk cause anything is better than wondering what if. cause maybe if you dared, you'd really reach further than you ever dreamed. like the saying goes, better to have loved and lost than never have loved at all.
being a friend is often taken for granted. alongside having people's respect or/and trust. we tend to forget that these things, have gotta be earned. and it is a privilege to be a part of someone's life rather than a burden.
i wonder what it'd be like if one day i just did all the things i wanted to do that i never had the guts to. and the stuff i always gave excuses for. like tell someone i don't know that God loves them. or randomly tell someone how awesome i think they are. stuff like that. wow. =)
i was watching america's got talent on tv with my dad and mum and realized there were many people with sad backgrounds hoping on that one dream. it's sad huh that only one will make it and the rest will just leave disappointed?
today i was telling my parent's bout goo's parents, dad's a doctor and mum just got her phd, and daddy went "wah, so highly educated. ur parents only have form 5 cert." and i really believed then it doesn't matter how much you have studied, my dad got to where he is and gave us this kind of life by his bare hands, and i told him so. =) i hope he knows that i'm really thankful for him and that i love him loads. =)
it's cool to see how in church there are so many different kinds of people. and some even like kinda scary looking people with that fierce face. or just so much of a variety. yet the love of God unites us all. and i remember shum telling me bout some people who do not change the way they look or crowds they hang out with after knowing Jesus, but stay the way they are with a new heart because they know that the people around them won't listen to a guy in a suit preaching, but will listen to one of their own kind. which makes me wonder, isn't that what Jesus did for us too, by becoming human? like WHOA right?
i slipped (and it hurt) like four times in two days.
i LOVE Beat!
i really like one of the stories rose shared at a leader's meeting about this white guy who left like everything to evangelize in some foregin land. i think to some natives or someones. and they wouldn't listen to him and cast him out and were mean la. but one day something terrible happened to him and he was really upset, i think someone he loved passed away. and he was crying somewhere. and one of the natives came, lifted up his head from the table gently, looked at his face and put it down gently again. then he ran outside and exclaimed that "the white man cries just like we do!" and from then, all the natives listened to what he had to say. i really really really like this story, i don't know why. just in wonder la and awe really.
i hate that lately i've been taking more than giving. especially from people like anna and pearls and chris and roxy who always have to put up with my million and one stories yet they never have any load to unload. so i feel really guilty for always just taking. i'm sorry, but thank you so much, especially to you four, who's really been there for me lately.
happy easter!
i love you for still reading this,
candice
