Bye Bye Self Pity

1 Corinthians 5:6-8
6 Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?
7 Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:
8 Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

Woo! Thank God for overseeing the whole kindergarten Concert! ahh.. All the K2s going Primary 1, it is my prayer that they will still come back to CF/JF and continue to grow in Christ!
Also thank God for the many helpers He sent, if not the teachers would have pulled all their hairs out by now.. Haha..

Just these two weeks working and pulling my own hair over the concert, had learnt so much from the teachers as well as principal. I know she is humble and when I said humble, i meant, REALLY humble. And i know she's always on the move, always helpful. But i didnt know she is THAT helpful, which stunted me a lot of times.

There were a few instances where I asked her if she knew where certain things was, she jumps up from her chair, and brings me exactly to where it is, or even search with me to look for the things. WAHHHH.. I mean, most of us would be like, "er I think its somewhere here or there lor" and just sit there and not move our butts. And it's EVERYTIME when i asked her for help.

The other times were when me and some teachers were discussing either on decorations or doing up head gears, so we needed some materials and stuff, she overheard, and quietly proceeds to find the materials for us.. WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH...
My jaw drop on the floor dont know how many times already.
So much to learn from her!

Also, for the past weeks, one thing that finally got through this thick head of mine was,
ENOUGH OF SELF PITY!! Just think of the amount of time i had wasted wallowing on my situations, my circumstances, my heartaches! Such a waste! I could have spent time glorifying God by saying how He has seen me through all these.

Now, i rather spend my heartaches for those who are sick.
Argh, cant believe it.. Takes me so long to realise or even come to realisation about that.
How diff am I from the pagans when I am acting exactly like them?
Paul says, REJOICE!! But i had been reacting so diff.

Just yesterday night, as i was talking to someone, suddenly i said this line,
"The devil only has a few same old tricks, and God has the same old solution. Just look to Him!"

And after saying that, i thought about all the stories in the bible, how Israelites from time to time, time after time, made God really so angry because of all the silly things they had done, which i know, right now at this very era, we as children of God are doing the exact same things!
If I can feel like vomitting blood after following Exodus through Deutronomy ar, i wonder how is God feeling towards me now?

One of my fave past time was wallowing in self pity, but seriously... How is that ever to glorify God at all?

Anyway, Rachel intro me to this write Mitch Albom. Bought "Tuesdays with Morrie" and "The five people you meet in heaven"

Am reading Tuesdays now.. So, just came across this part where inspired me to write about the above topic.

"So many people walk around with a meaningless life. They seem half asleep, even when they are doing things they think are important. This is because they are chasing the wrong things.. The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning."
