Date : Friday, June 29, 2012 what is favour? I prompt you to check the dictionary. it's exactly as it says.
the first week of school just ended, and along with it many issues have occurred. about CHC,I have a lot of things to say. although most of you would know that I'm actually from NCC and not CHC, I'd like to say a word of defense for them to the public as well as fellow Christians. For the public and the media, I'd like to pose a question: If the church donates whole-heartedly and willingly with no complaint to CHC knowing that their money could be used by the leaders to do anything, what business is it of yours to care about us Christians? Are you indignant for them, because you feel like they have wasted their money, or are you jealous because their church is so prosperous to the extent that you wish to destroy the pastors? 50 million, or so I heard, is not a small amount. However, why do you even care? it is the church's money after all, and they decide what they do with their money. not you. Also, if you have the intentions of branding all mega-churches as shams that suck money, don't bother. Well, if you aren't Christian, this is for you. No one is asking you to care about us Christians. Go live your happy life out there in the world, we absolutely do not care about you unless you actually are interested in following Jesus. You really do not need to be so caring as to feel indignant for us members who sow our money to our churches. go live your life. don't poke your nose into the church if you aren't willing to follow Jesus. and it's their money. CHC members' money. not yours. the 5o mil, if it actually exists, belongs to THEM. run along, they do not need you to feel sorry for them, because it is us who should be sorry for those who have nothing better to do. For fellow Christians, I wish to say this: you should be ashamed of yourselves should you be happy that their pastors are in trouble. I recognise that CHC has a bad reputation and many people from their do not bear good testimonies of themselves. I admit, before this I personally did not approve much of them. But I wonder, how much do we actually know about them? do you attend their church? do you know each and every one's story personally? If you don't, know one thing: don't even try to judge them. because no one is perfect, everyone has sin. Including me and YOU. and sin is sin. there is no such thing as "his sin is worse than mine". sin is sin and you are equally full of sin. Secondly, as Christians we should not condemn our fellow brothers and sisters in Christ. remember this: God loves his children. and we are all His children. so we should support each other in times of need such as now. not condemn them and say they deserve it. because if the pastors do get convicted, it's only gonna leave a bad name on Jesus and put more stains on our faces. it's simply RIDICULOUS that you even begin to condemn them. we should pray for them. Lastly, even if the pastors really did do something, why should we let them fall into the hands of man? GOD is the ruler. if anyone should punish them first HE should. not you nor I nor the world. remember the story of Jesus and the adulteress? he said: " Let anyone who is sinless cast the first stone." and no one did because no one is sinless except Jesus. So i urge you, pray for them to not fall into the hands of man. because the Church and JESUS should settle our own affairs. not the world. I hope this has let everyone know that CHC is not a perfect church but is still loved by GOD. and no one, including myself, has the right to pass negative judgement them at this very point of time. so please, think about it, and before you think of condemning them, ask yourself whether you'd like to be in their position.

Date : Saturday, June 16, 2012 Legacy camp just ended yesterday.
And as always, I feel as though I've been dreaming and I woke up with the biggest revelation ever. I will follow God, I will follow Jesus. Surely, because I'm not brave enough to say it to your face I will say it here. You probably will say I'm mean and all, but I don't want to be so close anymore. I'd still treat you as a friend, but nothing more. I'm only saying this because I'm very sure of it. As everybody knows, I don't have many friends. Why, you may ask. Because you won't understand. Please, I invite you to think of God as bad and how Jesus doesn't exist and everything. Because no matter what I tell you, you won't believe me. So don't try to convince me God doesn't exist either. Because I know he does and I follow him and I believe in him. Also, no one can convince you that you are beautiful if you yourself do not believe that you are. I have nothing else to say about your looks. But above all, please don't attempt to change how I think and feel. Because how I think is how I think and I really don't need anyone to tell me that I should be worried and what because I choose to confess and see good things so if you want to confess bad things over yourself and proclaim it to the world don't do it in front of me. Lastly, please, please please don't ever say that my problems are 'minuscule' COMPARED to yours. If you were truly a friend, you would never say that. and you would not compare me with you because we are sisters. Because, every one has problems. Every one hurts. And it's not as though my problems aren't legit. They actually are. They are just different. And at least, they matter to God as much as they matter to me. So if you are unwilling to be understanding and just hear me out because you beat me in every single way, then I have nothing to say. Just don't be surprised that I don't talk to you so much anymore. Unfortunately, I think that's just the way things are gonna be. And I don't think I'm afraid as I was last time because I'm not afraid of being alone anymore. I think even if I have no friends on Earth, I'd still be content. Even if i didn't receive any presents for my 16th birthday i think i couldn't care less anymore. because there's just no point in hanging on. Man will always disappoint. yeah so that's what i had to say for a very long time and I'm glad I finally got the courage to say it out.I know God will bless me though. I know HE has the power to change my life. even if everyone is taking polaroids without me in it, or if no one wants to take a picture with me or talk to me He will. and one day we will awaken. I think I received a lot of favour during camp though. I did actually get closer to some people. how do I say this, I don't actually feel alone but I feel that I'm not particularly close to anyone. like I don't really have a best girl friend. anyway all that aside it's true that I was really blessed in camp.Majority of my expectations came true. :) like it was really God-given. :) A butterfly landed.8:08 AM
Date : Sunday, June 10, 2012 To the people who actually read my blog, I salute you. Not many people actually do concern themselves with me.
Sometimes I feel like a deep, dark person. I don't think I'm that easily read. There are many things that I don't tell the world, for many reasons normal people won't even think of. People think they know many things about me, but what they know about me is only the tip of the iceberg, the surface. I wish to say this in the ironic hopes that people will understand me better, but not label me as 'predictable'. I do feel that in my everyday conversations, I speak colloquially to adapt to my environment and be on the same level of communication as my friends, but this is my real voice. I don't think I am the same. maybe it's my ego, or what, that causes me to feel that I am different. But the more I look at it, I just am. I do like things that other girls like, I do enjoy activities such as shopping too, after all, it's a thing most girls would do. But unlike them, beyond the surface I do think. And I don't just think about boys and girls and gossip. I think about other things. I used to be someone so different, it surprises me to think that now, the predicament I'm in can only involve God. I have to remind myself that Jesus is always the center of everything. I don't wish to complain about my parents. But I wish to tell every person that reads this to be grateful for their parents. Although your parents my imperfect and all, they have given me the best of what they could provide which is love. Although my parents make things difficult for me sometimes, I by Jesus' love understand that they do it out of my interest and not harm, even if they don't know they will still try. I don't want to be a loud and noisy girl. I want to be one with a gentle and quiet spirit, a woman of GOD. I want to stay by the LORD's side and forever be with him, and people will know that he loves me. And unfortunately that's exactly why I think not many people would concern themselves with me. But I think I'd rather be right with GOD than men. It's a long story. Secondly, I'm also a little sad that my songs didn't get through to LEGACY camp finale night. I was hoping it would, because I really like it, and I question whether it is truly because my songs are bad. But whatever happens I know that GOD has blessed me and he still loves me. I don't want to confess bad things. And if you think that what I'm saying is not true you may go and confess your failures yourself. Just don't pull me down with you. I'm thinking of leaving you. It's LEGACY camp tomorrow. :) I think I'm happy for many reasons. :) I want to encounter Jesus personally. I want to strengthen my soul, because I know that alone, I am weak and soft-hearted, but with the LORD I am strong and firm. I will hold on to Jesus no matter what. Amen. :) A butterfly landed.5:54 AM
