interrelational issues can get so tricky at times. when the problem involves two or more party, you gotta get everyone moving on, so that things can really get moving on. but i figured out that it's really hard to get two (or more) persons seeing eye to eye with each other even after voicing out their most sincere thoughts in the most amiable manner.


sometimes, we choose not to talk about it. but i guess, that's not equivalent to not doing anything about it. for me, i would choose not to talk about it, as in confrontational talks/one-on-one-focused-on-the-issue talks with whoevers that's involved sometimes because i believe it's a mistake, and we're all mature enough to identify our mistakes, and learn that we need to grow and change from it. until and unless the person refuses to see this particular pitfall in his/her life. probably, it'd den be time for a talk. lol, cuz i feel that friendship is all about giving love and showing grace to one another. when we grow closer to one another, they are bound to be exchanges, good or not, happy or unhappy. sometimes you pat me on the back, sometimes i slap you on the face. okay not literally. but if we were to one by one dig up issues and break down our motives and everything just to advance the friendship, it'll probably be too tedious and mechanical.

it's a two-way thing. this whole thing about showing grace and giving in to one another, and most importantly, not judging one another, accepting one another for who we really are. this is, i feel, friendship to me. i know sometimes, i may not have handled alot of issues very well, especially when a particular matter gets onto my nerve, that's when i really ask of your grace. yeah, and i know when something gets on your nerve, i should learn how to give more grace to you as well. im still learning how to do that better, praying that it comes more natural to me.


yupp, just like what pastor johannes mentioned in svc tdy. if blessings from God can go sucha long way, and sucha big round. what more a blessing of grace to me or from me to my friends. i've decided that i really wana grow in this area, which is really tough..... but i'll try w God anyways. and im dead decided that i should stop saying certain phrases in my life. okay not vulgarities lah ok, lol im not to that extent yet. yeah i should cur my habit of saying sc_ew you cuz its equally crude and stumbling. lol, okay i will. so slap me when u catch me saying that. btw, whenever i said tat in the past, it;s really purely out of natural instinct, so now i know. im gonna stop it! yes yes yes yes yes yes.


haha anyways what pastor johannes preached today was really good. it was a timely reminder for us to be rich towards God, not only towards ourselves, and guess what. it's really divine. this is what daily bread wrote today.

“Why do you spend money for what is not bread, and your wages for what does not satisfy? Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good, and let your soul delight itself in abundance” (Isa. 55:2).

i believe the abundance here does not restrict itself to wealth only. we'll have abundance in whatever we do :) abundance joy, abundance harvest. the 3 things that perople usually struggle with giving to God would be time, money and talent. i don't really struggle with a particular one, so i guess i need to start working on all 3 areas of my life. cuz the essence in giving is not about its regularity, it's more of the willingness and the joy you experienced when you give. knowing that whatever little i could offer can go aa long way in this kingdom of God motivates me to want to give more. so i pray against devil's attack towards me, i wana give more onto God! :)
