DOing Law Lor!

OK! thats prob what most people heard from me the past week. I just finished My law journal and STILL have a law test to study for..how lawful can i get..loL!

Soon i'll have to start on my 2500 words LAW research assignment. 50% siah...ahhhhhhhhhh! just needed to shout for a bit. I shall try to enjoy doing it. Uni has been a great experience so far. No more nice poly lecturers that i can go look for at anytime. Now, i've to make an appointment if i wanna see the lecturer and most of the time, it has to be made a few days before lol..can u believe it?? All the lecturers are either PHD holders or degree holders working on a masters! with all that studying and researching how can one not go crazy???

I know the JC ppl are not having an easy time either..all the PW's and the countless tests. Lets all Jia you together!! I'll be praying that the Lord grant us perseverance and joy as we do it!

The days are getting shorter now..winter is approaching and the sky gets dark at like 6pm. so sad...i love the SUN!! The weather is getting colder too BUT dun scared i have an electric blanket!! and no i won't get electrocuted by it..prayerfully..loL!

Good friday...Easter!!! So?

Good Friday can just come and go every year and i'll just do the routine , go church for service hear Christ's Journey to the cross over and over again. then maybe cry, tear..
I took up the courage to watch Passion of the christ , i was too afraid previously because of all the gore and pain. But i eventually did..Went through looking at all the whipping and nailing..teared again..
The Lord brought to mind things similar responses from me, after service, TEAR, after watching how christ died, TEAR again. He then questioned me , so what happens after all these?Do i just get extra grateful and appreciative during Good friday and easter?
After that i still live my life the same way?
If we have been united with him like this in his death, we will certainly also be united with him in his resurrection. For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body of sin might be done away with,that we should no longer be slaves to sin because anyone who has died has been freed from sin.
(Romans 6:5-7)
As i thought about these verses, what does it mean to be united in his death? I learnt that it means our sin cannot be suppressed , restrained or counteracted, BUT instead it must be crucified. Many times we sin and then say Lord Forgive me..and after a while when it cannot be suppressed any longer we let it surface and sin again and Ask God to forgive AGAin. ARen't we taking him for granted? A decision must be made to let sin die in us!
As we are united in his death, we are too united in his ressurrection!
The proof that we've been crucified with Christ is when we have a definite likeness to him!
and IF we say we are united in his ressurrection, this ressurrection will exhibit itself through holiness, in every area of our life. I find myself lacking in this aspect
i can put in a lot of effort in studying the bible but not the same amount of effort is put in to my school work. Why the contradiction?
In the same way we can be holy in our behaviour in front of others, but how bout our attitude towards parents and teachers and the way we do our school work? Does it show that Christ likeness?
As we make an effort to live holy lives with God's help, let us do it also with joy!
Eg. When Paul and Silas were called upon to suffer, they sang praises to God and everyone around them could hear their joy, despite their discouraging circumstances (Acts 16:25).
It means that even in the midst of difficulty and adversity we are still happy because we know we're in a RIGHT relationship with God. Despite our stupidity and sinfulness and unworthiness the Lord in his mercy has saved us! Isn't that worth being Happy about??
For me it is great to know the truth! PRaise the Lord!
How bout u?
