heys all, this post is dedicated to all those who are awaiting the results tmr. cos i know how anxious and nerve-wrecked you all are. =)

1 For everything there is a season,and a time for every matter under heaven: 2 a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted; 3 a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; 4 a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; 5 a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; 6 a time to seek, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; 7 a time to tear, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; 8 a time to love, and a time to hate; a time for war, and a time for peace.Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

this verse stood out the most when i first came to sydney. cos i was questioning His divine intervention; why did He have to come and pluck me out of singapore? why me? why did i hurt so much? yeah. i was in a pretty horrible state. but this verse really took a lot of the pain away, cos HE knows. like, He foresaw all this happening before the idea even entered my parents' minds to migrate. and He knows what is to come in my life. the only thing i can do now is to pray that i do His will and live out the life that He has planned out in front of me. and even if it seems all bleak and stuff. remember this verse.

11For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:11

the best part is the last part. "a future and a hope". this verse i remember very clearly, was shared to me from ben, on a last minute call on the 1 of jan 2004 around 2-3am. heh =P he wanted to say goodbye to me and encourage me on the way. and i really truly thank you for that ben =). this verse has seen me through quite a few bad patches in 2004. especially when i felt that the world was just going to crash down on my head. yeah. and i do hope that these few verses will help you to cope with the pressure as it did for me. =)and i truly thank God for such wonderful, awesome, encouraging and gorgeous babes and guys that i have as friends. cos they are like the only people who understand me. and i love them to bits! =3!
