The Christian life that I experienced in the Liverpool Christian disciple church is like an enthralling journey. 5 months… had made me realized that although I am a life long Christian, my knowledge towards the words of God was so scarce and vague, and yet I proclaimed that I knew exactly what bible is. The depth of the bible teaching that I had in this church overwhelms me, and I started to see the bible in a different and new angle.

But sometimes, just sometimes, I wished I could experience the spiritual joyfulness when I worshipping Him again. Of course the words of God are powerful and soul touching, but sometimes, I do need to feel the presence of the God. I want to dance and sing whole heartly when I worship Him, I want to cried and touched by Holy spirit during singspiration, and to be truth, I wished i could stand on the altar, leading the church to experience the spiritual revival through singspiration.

When challenged about the proper place for worship, Jesus replied that there was coming a time of new worship; and yet, that time is right now. What is this new worship? It's the worship where "the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth" (John 4:23). Jesus makes His point even stronger by saying; "those who worship Him MUST worship in spirit and truth" (John 4:24).

Is our worship spiritual and true? We should note that the words worship and worth come from the same root meaning. Worship then becomes acknowledging God's worth by acknowledging who He truly is; "Your word is truth" (John 17:17). We only know who God is by how He has revealed Himself in His Word.

But worship is more than simply a mental exercise. Study is important, but only as a beginning not as an end. Worship is entering into the presence of God and being in love with Who He is, with the overflow of our heart; "In Your presence is fullness of joy" (Psalm 16:11). This is how we must worship (or it is not truly worship) - and this worship is not determined by location or time, but by the condition of our heart.

I miss singing and dancing in the house of God.

The ODDS that makes me EVEN

Today is not a fine day for me.

first i got an ulser in my mouth, which sort of gave me a bulge at my lower jaw. i have no one to blame except myself, i'm having too much chocolate bars and chocolate drinks lately. Wait, i can blame the free hot drinks vent in Marks and Spencer staff cafeteria, its simply sinful to pass the thick, creamy, yummy chocolate drink without a sip!!

Secondly, i lost my marks and spencer swipe card today, i only discovered it when i reached library after the job. first i went panicked, how on earth i'm gonna enter marks and spencer tomorrow 6 in the morning??? then i went all the way back to the city centre to find the card, but to my dissapoinment, some old brats must have taken it when they saw the card lying on the road. so i went back to the management office of the M&S store and asking for the card to be replaced, and they charged me £2 for it!!!!! *sob sob* i can buy a subway marinated meatball sandwich with that amount of money.


my swipecard

thirdly, i sprained my fingers while swipping the floor today, i swear i didnt curse, but i knew my facial expression had betrayed me, Dork. i wonder would it leads to arthritis???

but i do get some great things happened as well...

firstly, i get my grant proposal done today. Professor Collin is quite satisfied with it and asking me to go ahead prepare for the presentation. yuhuuuuu! well, my research topic is the x ray crystallization of a non mammalian protein called retinol binding protein. i'm supposed to investigate on the ligand binding ability of the protein at low temperature. sounds dry right... well, thats what research work spell for: B-O-R-I-N-G.

secondly,i might be accepted for a ECG pyscology testing on next tuesday which entitled me a £10 amazon voucher in return, spledid! i'm planning to buy an mp3 player or a motorolla mobile phone with that. Finger cross.

thirdly, its stop snowing today!!! never thought that i will felt happy because of that, but the cold breeze and the wetness of the snow really pissed me off for the past two weeks. today, while bathing under the shower of the sunshine, GOsh... i'm just felt fresh, feeling rotten for the past two weeks.

i guess God is a fair God, He gaves me suffering (if what i encountered today is considered as suffering), He gaves me joyfulness, this is how He keep my feet on the ground.

a new insight i learnt today, He gives me ODDS to makes me EVEN.

The March snow

Never expect that it will still be snowing when the spring is just around the corner, in fact this is not the typical snow that we get during the winter. It poured like rain, along with the freezing cold wind that gives chill to the bone. Moreover, the snow flooded the whole street until you cant even see the boundaries between the street and the road clearly.

Actually a small incident happened on last heavy snowing Sunday, I’m risking my life tried to shoot some photo while nearly being blown away by the strong wind. I guess I’m too concentrated in snapping the picture while walking on the road, and suddenly I heard a loud hone from behind, and without realizing I was walking more and more towards the centre of the road…

This is how the road looks like…

My housemates will sure nagged me till i'm deaf for not being careful while walking on the road if they were with me during that moment. Anyway, thank God that I’m still able to breath soundly now…

Snowing is fun, but walking in the snow on 530 in the morning is a torture, it feels like skating on the ice, but certainly not in an enjoyable mood cuz the road was so slippery. You might get your head over the heels anytime (but not because of guys) if you are not careful. Sigh, when will the March snow melt?

Freezing CoLdddddd!!!


snow fight!
