Time Of My Life..


The world is coming to an end on 2012. That's what NASA predicted. You buying that story? Many does though, fear stricken at the thought of dying. However, we all know that the world will come to an end one day, don't we? That's when our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ makes his 2nd coming to create a new earth. You buying this story? I think many people would choose to believe in the 1st story and hoped on the MARS exploration to succeed, so we can all move there and stay happily ever after, or so it seems.


Many people choose not to believe in salvation offer by grace and think earning merits will give them a better next life, or even land them in heaven. Well, I don't wish to start a debateable topic here so I shall not go off from here. What I am trying to say is this, HOW YOU THINK DECIDES WHAT YOU SEE. In other words, perception. It's something in us, part of us and of us. Hard to be changed but not impossible. All problems start from how you view things. If you are with a heart of thankfulness then yes, everything will be well. However, life is never a bed of roses. There will tend to be thorns here and there, cutting you now and then. Yea, so you will indulge in all the anger, misunderstanding or even hatred. Good? You decide yourself. It's very important for us to put on the right specstacles. The moment you decided to stamp some1 with something, that's it. Like it or not, it's never easy to change how you think. Therefore God's word is important in providing with the wisdom to discern.


I just have another random thought earlier, the world's influence on us is so much larger compare to God's hey? Perhaps we are so part of this world that we slowly get conformed by it. The scale of good and bad lies in your perceptions. Nothing is 100 % good or 100 % bad in this world. It's only a matter of boundaries, whether or not you are going overboard with whatever you are doing. Jit has always reminded me that if what I am doing is a stumbling stone or at any point, raises question about myself and other people then don't do it. I believe that's important so as to win people over. It's about how we are different from them that matters, not how same we are I guess.


As Yosh has said, prayer is a powerful thing and throughout this week, I must admit it's really true. Let's pray our way out of all these. No more hurt, no more pain. This is the time...


Just a song by David Cook which certainly inspires me alot:


Time of My Life


(verse 1)

I've been waiting for my dreams

To turn into something

I could believe in

And looking for that

Magic rainbow

On the horizon

I couldn't see it

Until I let go

Gave into love and watched all the bitterness burn

Now I'm coming alive

Body and soul

And feelin' my world start to turn


(chorus)

And I'll taste every moment

And live it out loud

I know this is the time,

This is the time

To be more than a name

Or a face in the crowd

I know this is the time

This is the time of my life

Time of my life


(verse 2)

Holding onto things that vanished

Into the air

Left me in pieces

But now I'm rising from the ashes

Finding my wings

And all that I needed

Was there all along

Within my reach

As close as the beat of my heart


(chorus)

So I'll taste every moment

And live it out loud

I know this is the time,

This is the time to be

More than a name

Or a face in the crowd

I know this is the time

This is the time of my life

Time of my life


(bridge)

And I'm out on the edge of forever

Ready to run

I'm keeping my feet on the ground

My arms open wide

My face to the sun


(chorus)

I'll taste every moment

And live it out loud

I know this is the time

,This is the time to be

More than a name

Or a face in the crowd

I know this is the time

This is the time of my life

Time of my life

More than a name

Or a face in the crowd

I know

This is the time

This is the time of my life.

This is the time of my life.
