sundayyy!:)

the sermon for today, "wo suo3 xi3 yue1 de". essentially, God loves us still despite our disregarding/disobedient behaviour but also means that He dislikes the wrong behaviour. sermon also included the part about how one who thinks only for himself is less so than one who exercises a thought for others. *bad translation from chinese* thoughts suddenly lit up. suddenly it brought upon me that yes! i know that love is unconditional but i also know that it can be unpredictable, unexpected, uncontrollable, unbearable and well, strangely easy to be mistaken for loathing. no gifts, no demonstrations of devotion. nothing but knowing the other loves you. just the other's heart in exchange for yours. :) i know i've given and taken my heart to and from God many times. now! i want to present my heart wholeheartedly to Him. :):) thank you Lord for loving me!:)

"I often feel like i'm two steps behind
Somebody must have moved that finish line
There are a thousand reasons
Why I should give up
but i'm stubborn in the things i believe

The river runs and the river hides
Out to the ocean and under the sky
I promise you, the answer will come
Hold onto patience and watch for the sign

coz maybe there's another plan
One i still can't see
A little surprise, like your love in my life
Funny how time changes how see"
