Where, O death, is your victory?

it's 4 am :X sigh.. interrupted sleep tonight means more of a sleep debt to repay, and possible a zombie me at work tmr. then again, as Dot says, the kids will perk me up... they are soOoOoooO adorable :D

And so the long ('holy') weekend has come and gone by..technically speaking, Good Friday and Resurrection (Easter) Sunday should be THE most significant days of a year for us Christians... the day that Jesus willingly died for All Mankind (read: YOU/me), so that our sins are forgiven us, and we can have a relationship with God again... and then the day that Jesus rose from the dead and conquered death. which justifies our faith:

And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith.
- 1 Corinthians 15:14

i think i'm ready for water baptism this year... :) i know my relationship with God is like.. 忽冷忽热... inconsistent.. unsteady.. more often than not i'm drifting away.. so not the exemplary Christian's lifestyle.. but as th lyrics go,

Oh how many times have I broken Your heart
But still You forgive
If only I ask
And how many times have You heard me pray
Draw near to me

All for a love a Saviour prayed
Abba Father have Your way
Though they know not what they do
Let the Cross draw man to You

still learning, to love Him more, fear Him more, pray more, glorify Him in all i do, trust Him more, and to have my identity firmly grounded in Him. So help me, Lord.

it's been an eventful 1 week.. 1st children's play, 3rd Prom, hanging out with cell group friends, lunch and shopping with Dot,, and having to MUG NEWSPAPERS. feels like i am mugging for GP again... lol. it's nice to read the papers actually, to get in touch with good English, and see different perspectives, catch up with recent happenings/issues... but it's very time-consuming. i only JUST started through 1 whole pile. :X
