Sacred Delight

**Have you been to the market place?**

Was woken up by my dad this morning at 9am, "what do you want for breakfast?", he asked.

Hehe. How lucky to be able to get breakfast of your choice without having to lift a finger, literally. Then it got me thinking again, life's going to be so empty again back in Singapore. Go back to school, come back from school, study, sleep... It's then i realise, it's not hardship i'm afraid of. It's emptiness, loneliness. As i'm falling deep into depression again i ask myself WHY?! i was just so hyped up for God yesterday! Then it's when i remembered, Satan will come for you especially when you have in you a passion for God. He hates it. AHHHH go away, i'm going to make life meaning-ful in Singapore. It's not going to be easy but i WILL fill up the emptiness. No matter what, i can do it because of Him. =)

Read the first part of the book joel gave me, the Applause of Heaven. It talks about sacred delight. A joy so great, a joy that can only be found in a child of God. It is the Joy of the Lord. It is what it is, it is Joyful regardless of circumstances. =) The key to eternal happiness : to have in you the ultimate joy, the sacred delight!! You don't have to work hard to for it! It is in you when you have Him in your heart. =)

Went for lunch at Coca's coz my brother had won a RM25 voucher in a lucky draw previously. Mmmm, pineapple fried rice, tom yam soup steamboat, ahh!! Blessed i am. At the end of the meal one of the waiters came with a large glass bowl with pieces of paper in it. Lucky draw again haha! My brother, now the lucky charm, picked one and guess what?! Another RM25 voucher to Coca's. HAHA! =P

Then went to church. Tears were flowing so freely during praise and worship. I still don't know why. But i felt something. Something strong, something sacred, something delightful. =) There were guest pastors, missionaries from the States. What are the attitudes that can change the world? Go to the market place of human needs! Pastor Joshua's birthday today. We had cake! =) Mmm, chocolate.

Dad came to pick me up and send me to school. Met lots of people again. Helped out a bit with the pbc performance and went out with Ming Shiu, Yee Wah and Siew Mun to yam cha. =) My JI MUIs haha (short of wan qian), how i miss you prople. I love you guys!!! We had girl talk for hours till Lup wai came.

Talked a little while longer till it was past midnight. It's so nice of lup wai to send me back home when his home is on the other side of the world. Thank you lup wai!!! Sure repay you when i drive wan =P Oh yeah, before that his engine couldn't start. I prayed. And God made the engine go again. Praise the Lord! =P We drove back to have a last look at CHS. How i miss the days... Nice songs were playing in his car, one song, "zhen xin ying xiong", was a song wan qian taught me. Brings back so many memories. I love all you guys, just wish you would experience what the love, the ultimate love God has given us...

Reached home before 1am. Not too bad an achievement =P

Time today not wasted. Praises to Him again =)
