still awake + relationship seminar Still (wide?) awake. Not really wide. Haha....just awake. The weather is unbearable. There's 2 fans blowing at me in the study room. Can't wait to step into my bedroom really. Completed my online application to SPRING Singapore internship...praying hard that they will consider me. But meanwhile I'll have to source for other companies that I can work as intern in as well. I'm most probably not going overseas during the mid-year anymore for summer programme, and I was previously upset partly because of that. The other part of me was upset - more of feeling vexed - because I know I must not waste my 3 months of hols. The good thing however is that i've now got many options about what I wanna do. Definitely working, hopefully as an intern. Most probably not taking up local special term. But which means I gotta source and apply for positions. That takes some time and effort. And I'm feeling so packed cos of school already. And therefore I was vexed. Need the strength of God!!! I also have to take care of my health especially now that the weather's so hot, need to consume more water and sleep more. Feeling guilty now hahaha. :\ Anyway, I was very blessed by Pst Kong's preaching on relationship for the past 2 services. I feel that his sharing is accurately pin-pointing the real marriage and relationship issues faced by couples today. Isn't it better to learn about relationship matters in church? :) Despite some awkwardness...er...heh heh. But I know what Pst Kong mentioned so far is nothing but the truth and because God and Pst Kong loves us, they will not hide the truth from us. :) I was particularly convicted when Pst Kong mentioned about dressing well even at home. I remember him saying, "why dress well only when you are outside? Dressing well only when you are outside working - so are you dressing for your boss or your husband?" All these while I thought that it's really cool to just let my hair down at home, even when I've got a husband and kids. I mean just the heck-care attitude, feeling comfy in baggy clothes that tend to be a bit aunty looking. Just relax at home in that way. That's the way I am now at home! But now I must realize that there are ways to dress comfortably but not uglyly. More often than not, it's because I don't bother to think about that possibility. Sigh. I feel like an obasan in-the-making. Gotta get rid of that mindset!!! Pastor also mentioned about cosmetic surgery. I agree with his stand, which is also Rick Warren's stand, the author of Purpose Driven Life. Our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. If it is broken down, you got to fix it. Some people are born with certain deficiencies or deformities. When necessary, I really feel (this was my view even before pastor mentioned about this issue) that cosmetic or corrective surgery should be done. It doesn't mean that we lose our holiness or spirituality when we alter certain parts of our body. If it really affects the individual, or if it affects the relationship between you and your spouse, you should consider cosmetic surgery. But take calculated risks. And do evaluate the cost-benefits of your decision. I don't believe in being anti-plastic surgery. I just don't believe in overdoing it. I don't believe in overdoing anything in this world....anything that is extreme is not healthy. Alrights. That's all for now. Catching up on my sleep. Goodnight...:) Labels: contemplative, daily rantings, revelation 1:24 AM
