worth fighting for

it's been a rough couple of days for me and things only started getting better yesterday. still i realized that life is really full of challenges and obstacles that may become so terrible, it causes you to fall flat on your face, in disappointment and pain. in other cases, such challenges will make you reconsider everything, the way it made me really wonder, am i doing the right thing? what should i do next? am i who i want to be? i questioned everything about me again, wondering am i a good person in life? so i learnt a very important lesson about anger this week. that anger truly blinds a person, as a much as it lures you to succumb to it, to start shouting back and fighting, we must step aside and see from a new perspective, a better perspective.

when you start to have doubts about yourself, look down into your hands and think hard about what your'e fighting for. then decide. half a heart is way worse that no heart. i realized we gotta know what it is we're fighting for in life then go for it full force if we think it's worth it. and there will come winds that try to blow you down, waves that try to swallow your spirit and thunder that tries to crush you completely. but you need to realize, the way i did, that you;re stronger than you think. within you lies untapped strength and courage that can do great things. born in the image of our Heavenly Father, wouldn't it be obvious that we are more than just robotic beings? we are more than incapable humans. we can stop wars and save lives and move these great gigantic mountains in life, because we are the children of God that are called to greater things. we think the mountains we have to move are like bringing world peace or abolishing slavery, but more abundant than those mountains, are the ones we face everyday. shame, anger, pain, revenge, hate, laziness, greed. these are the personal battles we must each face and fight, hard. what i'm saying is life isn't easy. it really isn't at all. But God's here for You if You'll let Him, and He's saying let me walk you through it.

hmm, so G8's gonna start our project! it was kinda a spontaneous idea by dianne for us to make videos of us in the orphanage and stuff for our moral video presentation. and we decided eh, why not? so far, there's been some disagreements that have been a total headache, but right now, it seems like most if not all of us are super duper excited. the idea has gone to a grander scale than we expected to do actually. on monday we will be visiting/volunteering at the spca then an orphanage in taman megah. it's so exciting! from tuesday to friday we will have a booth to sell stuff for fundraising, and excitingness of em all, our car wash next monday, 12 july from 1 to 5! :) also we're going for jog of hope this sunday, a few of us la. :) hopefully we can squeeze in a visit to the old folks home too. :D i'm so proud to be in g8 where everyone's excited too. at our meeting today, everyone was responsive and contributing ideas and i just truly thank God for blessing me with this incredible class. i hope everything turns out fine!!!!! please please please God!!!!

with love,
