Being established

What do people meant by being love? How does one be rooted or established? What good can come out of this? What's love really all about?

So much of this questions have been bothering me when I started going thru God's Word more and more everyday. I still m wanting to give my first period of time to God in the morning, even after my final exams have ended. During that time when I just started reading Corinthians 1. I actually learn about things that I have never knew about, questions that were still deep within myself. Probably I might have asked a few times, but being no avai to answers, I put it aside. Never believing that one day will come where I get to access those answers in God's own personal Words from the Bible.

Asking God, how do u love someone? something? It's never been easy, getting into arguments and conflicts when it doesn't need to go there. His word spoke to me what love was all about and one thing really hit me was about longsuffering a.k.a patience. That seem to be one thing I may lacked. People say I don't lack patience, but I lacked it so badly when it comes to petty response or even anything that just come about from my own family.

Love is sacrificial. Not out of emotion. It sure is possible that it starts to buds out of emotion, but what make it really last is the nature of it in the lifestyle that we live in. Putting others first, something that the world will never do. It has always been "ME FIRST" no matter how subtle it may have been. But my God said to be the first is to be the last. So to love meaning putting urself last in line, when it comes to giving and sometimes receiving. All this could just depend on the situation we may put ourselves in.

Today, as I attend Kingdom City at PJ, the sermon was about CONNECT. I was hooked to the word when the Scriptures were out. It was being rooted and established in love. What seem to be the benefit out of this? To be honest, I don't know.

Turns out it ended with "that we may have power "

When they place the word "power" it starts to get me thinking. Having the ability to be powerful, to be in power to bring about blessing and benefit to this broken and hurting world by just having a simple connection with God. By just being "connected"

We are made to connect with one another.

I have yet to figure out more of the word "Love".

p.s. its definitely not romance, what I am looking for but a way to serve His people with love and respect :)

Exam Syndrome

It's a vicious cycle of business to boredom..

It has always been like that ever since I set foot at UNITEN. Being an engineering student always have a very heavy downside when you are going thru that particular period of a student, be it the time of assessments, assignments, exams etc or even just taking a rest from the semester.

Can't say I looked forward to the aftermath of exams either. Well, there's much planning going on after finals but after going thru that much experience of boredom over and over and over again. I think I rather just appreciate where I am right now. At least I get to experience it with a good attitude and embrace the value of the days I have ahead of me.

Having my first paper in a week doesn't help me stay cool about my situation. At least the sense of urgency is already there. Just have to pick up the pace in my studying style and technique.

One obvious method that I just had the courage to pick up is making my computer go 'proof' while I revised my work. It was never easy staying away from my computer but when u r in the a midst of working, the wonders of being really into it just keep you going on and on provided there's nothing else in your mind that wants to take a rest ;)

Trial of endurance have to be overcome and excel in for the next 2 and half weeks. I am sure I can do it with God's help. Much more will be coming into the timeline up ahead after this finals. Wishing all my friends who are also in this period of examination ALL THE BEST.

Right now back to the books after seem to be a long time of being on the computer... To be exact an hour have passed since I hogged in this baby of mine :D
