so i found out i get to go to japan for free in the sep/oct holidays... some government scholarship that our skool won...and 8 of us are going over there, im so bad at japanese but luckily i still got offered to go...which is sweet. they'll be visiting here first sometime in july so that'll be cool too.. hasn't suck in yet really.
got home on friday arvo with a sense of unfulfilment, or like i had wasted my week away. pretty true i think. going to do something about it.
relationship topic at youth, was interesting. nothing overly shocking and good stuff to take on board... wish itd been a little more biblical based tho
won football again today... wow it feels weird to win so often =]
so what about stuff that matters...kingdom news..
well one thing I've been taking account of recently is perspective...or lack of perspective.
the worlds are pretty messed up place but i definitely don't live like I'm fighting for it half the time..more than half... a lot of the time. i mean, if u guys watch the news or read the paper... or maybe seen INJUSTICE (theres too much of it) first hand, u know theres people out there who'd dream for a life we have but we live a lifestyle thats an insult to their creation
yet we wah about school..exams..homework, not taking in to account ppl who'd do anything for the opportunities....
we sook about relationships (oh man all the time), we go out and drink... have sex and talk about such stupid stuff, making use of what we think the world has to offer... where other ppl value and cling on to life not knowing their future...yet still not idiotic enough to jeopardize their health and dignity for that matter :S
btw i hate alcohol. im sick of seeing ppl around me go down the wrong path..way too many. hurts doesn it.
so lets live life with perspective ey? not life with a one eye-d naive 1 dimensional
view that makes no impact or doesn't takes any course of action which actually means something for the future..or maybe eternity? make a difference...be different but humble.. God blesses the humble for they'll be exalted....the exalted will be humbled.
in Christ
Friend, it's getting late, we should be going
We have sat here beneath these flickering neons for hours.
While I am cracking their code, you are deciphering me
For I am a mystery, I am a locked room in a tall tower.
Oh can you feel the gravity falling, calling us home?
Oh did you see the stars colliding? Shining just to show,
We belong.
We belong.
Your telescope eyes see everything clearly
My vision is blurred but I know what I herd
Echoing all around.
Well I am telling you and you are deciphering me.
Not such a mystery, not such a faint and far away sound.
Its love, its love that holds us
We will be alright
Its truth, its truth that shows us
As we walk in this life.
