After reading Li Ying's blog, I've been thinking. My life is so self-centred. I call myself a Christian, yet I just continue living my life without including God. I excuse myself saying that he never speaks to me anyway, so, I might as well just go on a path I want and hope its correct, but I realise that I haven't really been opening my ears. I barely glance at the Bible everyday, forget to half the time and the rest I tell myself that I'm too tired, and that I'd make up for it later...
How long is this going to go on for anyway? When am I actually gonna "make-up"?
I've been so obsessed with other things lately that God just doesn't seem to fit into the equation anymore. Sure, I need to have hobbies and interests and stuff, but God should always come first. I'm really glad in one way that I entered SA, their motto/saying "No one is here by chance" is really meaningful and it has also helped me to see that God has been with me through so many things in the past (including getting into SA, which would have been impossiblex100 with my prelim marks) but I barely seem to think twice about him. I know that it wasn't through my own efforts that I was able to tackle the Os. I know this but I'm so stubborn and I don't want to acknowledge it.
Well, from now on I shall set at the very least 20 minutes a day (10 in the morning, 10 at night) for God. If I can't even do this much for a God who is so kind, I shouldn't even be going to a JC.
(added later) Just read Zexun's blog! Everybody seems to be in a repent/resolution kinda mode!

And the only time,
The only time I ever saw Him run
Was when He ran to me,
took me in His arms
Held my head to his chest,
said my son's come home again
Lifted my face,
wiped the tears from my eyes
With forgiveness in His voice
He said son,
do you know I still love you?
It caught me by surprise,
When God ran
The day I left home,
I knew I had broken His heart
I wondered then
if things could ever be the same
Then one night,
I remembered His love for me
And down that dusty road
ahead I could see
It's the only time,
The only time I ever saw Him run
When He ran to me,
Took me in his arms
Held my head to his chest,
Said my son's come home again,
Lifted my face,
Wiped the tears from my eyes
With forgiveness in his voice,
He said son,
Do you know I still love you?
It caught me by surprise,
It brought me to my knees
When God ran
I saw Him run to me
And then I ran to Him
Holy One
Righteous Judge
He turned my way
Now I know
He's been waiting for this day
And then He ran to me,
Took me in his arms
Held my head to Hs chest,
Said my son's come home again,
Lifted my face,
Wiped the tears from my eyes,
With forgiveness in his voice,
I felt His love for me again
He ran to me
Took me in His arms
Held my head to His chest,
Said my son's come home again,
Lifted my face,
Wiped the tears from my eyes,
With forgiveness in his voice,
He said son,
He said son,
My son,
Do you know I still love you
Oh!
He ran to me
When God ran
