Ever got the feeling,
when u think sth is impossible & your heart accepts the fact,
that it is never more possible than it ever is?

grace!

i believe, in an awesome god. not like what they say he is, but more.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

and i love hearing zj talk ohmansss.

he never fails to show me sth abt god and make me feel "god is real".

...


god is always breaking the rules.

to do something for someone. jesus was never religious.

...

a kid asked zj (cuz ps was preaching on making god e centre of yr life, instead of making him something u 'use' to get something else eg. gd grades),
"how do i make god the centre of my studies, when i'm doing that so that i can do better in my studies?" sth to tt extent. e kid said some really profound stuff hurhur.

fr the fun of it zj went to ask the kid's cgl who was passing by (and they gave the usual regurgitation kinda answer.)
then the kid was like "walao might as well dont say"

anyw zj said.

how do u 'make' someone the centre of yr life? if u have a really cute, awesome bf who also is in love with you, yr thoughts will pretty much centre around him right. what diff does it make to yr studies? i was like 'if i need help i'll call him' haha.

same with god.

(then i thought to myself...if i had a bf tt was like that i wont be studying so hard alr HAHA. i mean. hello i got some1 to take care of me why be so stressed! then zj mentioned sth abt doing stuff 'for his glory'. that's food for thought too.)

anyway, i just love zj's revelations about how with god it is always about the relationship, (in his own words, not even e relationship, but about Jesus himself.)....

it is so different from the main thoughts of ... what do u call that.


And yeah even today's sermon which was supposedly abt wisdom. essentially pastor concluded his series on wisdom with ONE thing, if u catch it- wisdom is not wat u seek, but jesus is, and when u find him, wisdom comes naturally or sth...


its only about ONE thing. looking for jesus :D


actually btw, i realised zj is not the only 'deviant'...

i realised ps pri nce himself was also quite a deviant HAHA. i mean look, right now his thoughts are considered mainstream, but look at him, there where he was reading books on church growth and they were telling him all the steps, to preach on contemporary issues, to preach series, yada. and he decided he was so sick of it and went to read the bible where he found jesus instead, and god asked him, will u preach that?

he seriously believed that if he did the church will shrink LOL. but he went ahead anyway.

ps p rince is a deviant himself omGADD.


OMGADD. ps prin ce is my friend.


there are alot of unreal ppl in church.

(oh charles if u read this, zj said yr a gd guy to be with... and me and jofid were like O_o! HAHA. he said cuz yr not flaky ;) hehehh. U SHD GO TALK TO HIM.)




anyway where was i.

i was talking abt jesus breaking rules.

zj raised so many examples but i cant rmb. i only rmb the one where this guy went to raise someone from the dead, it was considered unclean to go and touch a dead body in that 'religion', but the dead guy was raised anyway..

got some more but I CANT RMB lol cuz this was e only 1 i was like eh?

sth abt david eating the religious showbread by bluffing that he was a priest and etc. hahaha. so funny lah.


:)

god just wants to be with u.



then i complained to zj that why is everyone like that.

and the thing he said stunned me too.

he said, but even when people are doing all these "steps" to get blessings, god still blesses them because he just wants to. (i am still so judgemental. and god's grace is so big.)


awesome huh!

that's the kind of god i used to know! someone who broke rules for you :) someone who's so ... free omg.


but then if what you're seeking is a real rship with god, all these steps just wouldnt cut it for u.


yay deviations ftw, dont be afraid to think not like the mainstream, its btwn you and god!


and sth from zj's blog: the bible is a collection of stories of people's friendships with god.
if u realise wat tt means- no 2 stories are the same. god does diff things for diff ppl :)

he's a personal god.


and zj is awesome! wtfreak, god if zj talks to me everyday, i'll never drift away from u luh. LOL.

and it doesnt even take long... i've known 5 min conversations which had me glowing with happiness for the next few days by just 1 statement.

today's conversation lasted all but the length of a taxi ride.

:)

like the stories of people in the bible..
your life.
zj isnt jus abt e things he says. its abt what he believes.

and those beliefs, impact me. i want to believe them too. zj shd talk to me more *cough* GOD U HEAR ME. LOL. talk AT me. whatever. jus talk. HAHA.

yeah deviant :b

but god was nv about a fixed set of formulas and outcomes anyway :p
