What is?

What is the purpose of life? All life has purpose from the tiniest tear of a baby to the mightiest tree in the forest. Yet, that purpose has seemed to elude people throughout the generations. Our world, with all its diversities, has truly only two classes of people - those who believe and know God and those who do not believe and continue the query.

Pete Seeger wrote a song in 1966 called Turn, Turn, Turn. "To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die…" The verses continue with all the reasons for everything and in time, those purposes are fulfilled. That song was based on the Book of Ecclesiastes in the Bible's Old Testament.

God shows us part of the answer to "What is the purpose of life" in Ecclesiastes. However, the question is still asked by the group who does not believe in God. Believers know that God has a plan and a purpose for all people. He provides cycles of life with a design for each person - the first purpose being to personally know and have a relationship with Him.

In Ephesians 1:11-14 we are told that God chooses us, offers us an inheritance of eternal life with Him; we are "predestinated according to the purpose of Him" and that by believing, we are "sealed with that Holy Spirit of promise" thereby saved for all eternity. We must only discover, accept, and appreciate God's perfect purpose and timing for each life.

Those who are in the class of unbelievers are often lacking any lasting joy or hope in their lives. It cannot be found in money, position and fame, or temporary pleasures. Without joy and hope people are in danger of doubt, feeling lack of worth and despair. Eventually societies see a declined value for life which leads to abortions, euthanasia, and suicide, or genocide. Without God, there is no purpose, nor permanent solutions to life's problems.

But God, through his grace, shows His intent: "According to his eternal purpose which he accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord. In him and through faith in him we may approach God with freedom and confidence" (Ephesians 3:11-12). In exercising faith in God, we will know His love, and be filled with His fullness. He is "able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us (Ephesians 3:20).

Its time to move on. No matter what took place months back or years back shouldn't stop you from moving forward. Its only in moving forward and getting on that you get out from where you were.

And so 3 weeks have past and I'm heading back to Sunny Singapore. It definitely has been a good stay over here in Melbourne. Saw many fabulous things, Done quite a number of things I have not done before and most importantly, whining down after a hard time last year. God has been watching over me every single minute that I was here and I thank him for always being the loving Father that he has always been. :)

Mass at the St Patrick's Cathedral Was just SO SO SO good. The choir was superb. Even the Archbishop could sing in tune and sing so lovely. It was really an awesome experience. The celebration felt so grand and I felt it was a privilage and honour to be able to partake in this Eucharistic Celebration. Something which I have not felt in a long while/before. Like my cousin said " I never felt so Holy." Indeed.

I LOVE ALIEN!! :)

Today, as I'm sitting in front of my laptop listening to praise and worship songs and reading through some of my old mails, it suddenly dawn on me that blessings by God is given in the most subtle way ever most of the time. It takes quite some time to figure out (for me at least). It is in times like this where I am reassured that I have an awesome God. :)

It's in this kind of time where I wish I was alone, far away from everyone and everything with just You to accompany me. Thought i'm not phsically there(which i think would be worse), I'm already started to feel the jitty jetty here thousands of miles away. My mind just can't seem to stop thinking about it. I know today is the day where i will have to really start planning and deciding which is best, to come to a conclusion soon on what to do. It feels like a crossroad again. So many arrows pointing in different directions. Nothing seems clear and everything is in a blur right now. If only there isn't free will eh?

So many decisions to be made. How would I know what is the right one. Just hope tmr will give me a clearer view of where I'm heading. I hate being in this state yet at the same time, I wish time would stop. I really do.

I can't have the best of both world, can I? I love the weather since its cooler than Singapore, I love the change of scenary and I kind of like the fact that things slowed down alittle. All of a sudden, I'm free from all responsibilities and duties. All of a sudden, I have so much time on my hands. However, I somehow miss a couple of people from Singapore. It will be nice if I'm able to transport them to where I am right now. hahaha. But i know that being away from everyone and everything is what I have always wanted since last year. What a contridiction and paradox. Friday is approaching and I dont know what is going to happen but i'll keep my fingers crossed. Fingers crossed not for excellent results but something else.

And so its confirmed that results is out this friday. I cant help but wonder about how i will feel over at the other side of the world. Though I kind of expected certain results, I'm still a little nervous and unprepared for the truth. It may be a good thing that I'm not there at all to witness all the tears and joys of my other accquaintance when the results are being announced. I know this coming friday is a day where I will be tested again. Test of faith and trust and also a test of my sanity. Its easy to say now that through all the mental preparation I've given myself, I will be perfectly fine on friday but deep down, i know I will still face some emotional turmoil. Till that day comes, I will have to remind myself to stay strong and believe that things may not turn out as bad as they may seem to be..
