God's favour is unlimited, unexpected and unmerited.
takeaways from today. i'll keep those in mind. you would think that going for a friend's baptism service won't do yourself that much good in terms of personal growth, but surprises are abound. hence unexpected =)
i really haven't been doing enough to develop a personal relationship with Him yet..in retrospect i'm rather guilty about that. but don't worry, i will take steps to change that. and i'm also still learning alot about dealing with unpleasant emotions...yea, that's that.

hmm. my birthday's in a week. i'm not sure what to expect. just something to note, in case any dear reader happens to have intentions to do something:
-i relish long heartfelt personal messages, so if you're going to write me something, yea this would be appreciated.
-wishlist includes:

new bag (sling type)
shirts (collared preferably)
belts (something that can be worn to school as well?)
coolio A4 box file that is big enough but not too big! sometime the size of my current one, if you need a gauge.
i'll love handmade gifts too! no matter what because that's way too sincere.

oh and, i doubt i'll find things like food, or even new wallets/water bottles or everyday accessories appealing as gifts. probably cause i already have a decent one now that i won't be replacing anytime too soon.
and i don't care about brands, so as long as it's a quality product it'll do.

most of all actually, i think a strong friendship is the best gift you can give me. one can shower another with tons of material gifts but come way short when it comes to the emotional and spiritual connection. how superficial that makes it.

it's not about what you live for, but who you live for.
