Oh yeah..at last I got down to change my blogskin. Ahh.... I love it!!But I actually still like my old one lah..Thanks Cheng Yee=) But...something new is always good. A change. This is bright and...livley!hehe..The old one was..Dark and mysterious. Haha. Anyway, this...is good!!=D


Other than new skin, there's new smile!=) On sunday, during the Convent cg, we did Chapter 9 from the Purpose Driven Life book. It's basically about what we can do to make God smile. So one excercise Ko-ko Jit Pang made us to was to first tell everyone one thing you are not happy about yourself. Everyone did this pretty well.

Next, he made us say what we like about ourselves. This...most found hard to do.

Third, he shouted someone's name and anyone can shout out anything good/ positive/ nice about that person. This, i found..was very very encouraging!=D


What i realised from this is that, we often belittle ourselves and think negatively about how we are, how we look; thus comparing ourselves to other people and concluding that we are not much of good. We are so quick to think about the negative. It was so hard for most of us to say something good we find in ourselves. Why?? Why can't we think highly of ourselves yet be humble?? It's possible. Really.

God must be really sad to see that His children - His creations look at themselves and turn away in disgust. Yes, we are sinners but we do have good and valuable qualities in each and everyone of us that we can thank God for!

So, people...we should not always criticize ouselves and think lowly/ negatively about ourselves. Ok, I'm not saying that u should then be perasan and full of yourselves and bare your chest and think you're 'The Greatest' or 'The Muscularest' or 'The Bestest' or anything like that. It's just that we should be praising God and thanking Him for the good qualities we have in ourselves! Don't you think God would be so delighted to see His precious ones thanking Him for the Good in them??Think about it...

Another thing that can help us think better of ourselves is to help each other and encourage each other by saying good things and uplifting things to the other person...Not flattering words, but words that are true and encouraging. In Colossians 4:6 it says "Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt..." .Sometimes it take our pride to do that..but trust me, you'll feel much better after doing it.


Now, how about the 'not so good qualities'? Well, no one is perfect. Only God. So we should ask God to help us to be better persons and work on the rough edges in us. There's always room for improvement=) Yeah, some corrections may hurt and would probably involve some adjustment and change. But it's all for the better!!

So peeps, you know what to do now yeah?? ;)
