so i finally figured out that you can't put images onto the template of the blog. but u can put some of them onto your blogs.. *sigh* i guess i'll have to live with that. haha, but it's pretty cool, cuz i learned how to do a lil html. (woo hoo! thanks jae! *muah*) so i guess it wasn't all a loss. hehe. and i'm supposed to be reading my book.. hee hee~ or at least coming up with my thesis for my ppr due next week. BOO! anyways..
today, while i was supposed to be getting my last minute cram for my midterm, i was reading through Romans.. and here's what i got:
Romans 5:3-5
"Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character , hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us."
this is actually one of sylvia's favorite verses, i think.. hehe~ but.. if you think about it, it sounds almost ridiculous... to rejoice in our sufferings.. xP how dumb, huh? but i don't know. i did get a lot of comfort from this verse today. especially as i was lookin at my incomplete notes with sleepy scratch marks everywhere... -__-;; that and the fact that i wasn't really able to concentrate. i've been doing a lot of thinking lately, and it's just come to make me realize how much i need to depend on God. and how our sufferings are a joyous thing because when we suffer, we cry out for help. and it's when we are fellowshiping with God that our souls and our hearts are the most content. as we learned in small group last week, prayer is the most intimate communion we can have with God. i know when i'm suffering, i'm down on my knees a whole lot more than when things are good, so i guess it is a great thing that i'm going through some stuff right now... God works in such mysterious ways.. and His ways are so great! hehe, even if it may not FEEL like it, i KNOW it! this is the air i breathe. you're Holy presence living in me. and i~ i'm desperate for You. and i~ i'm lost without You~ so hopefully through my sufferings, i am able to believe in the hope that You have poured out your love for me!
have a good night everyone~!
