Throwing away
Have been doing lotsa cleaning up and packing these past 2 days. However, i've yet to clear and pack everything. I guess with the amount of stuff I've collected these years, it will probably take numerous days.
Usually when i set my mind to pack and throw things away, i will only end up packing and making things look neater.
That's because I often have these mindset:
"Although I don't need it now, I may need it in the future"
"These are expensive, I can't bear it"
"I know I won't use it, but I just can't bear to throw it"
"These bring back lots of memories"
But most importantly, it boils down to me being a sentimental person...
Finally this time round, i've rid the act!!
I reckoned that if I don't start throwing things away, I will end up having even more. Hence, i threw as much as I could.
Throwing things really made me reminsce of friends, happy and sad times, events etc... It also makes me feel happy because i no longer have to worry over space.
However, it dawns upon me that throwing things is just like throwing away our past and hurts. Often we'll just refuse to throw them away but never did we realise that if we don't throw them away, it will end up been bagged up in us. As time passes by, it will only increase even more and it will be so heavy that it will bog us. Yet, if we start to throw them all away by giving to the Lord and ask Him to restore us, we can finally breathe and begin a new life journey afresh. There are times where the issues in us will bring hurts and affect people who loves us. So by taking this step, you're not only helping yourself but also making other people's live easier. This journey will be even more exciting than before and it helps us to create and maintain better relationships with people around us.
A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit saps a person's strength

I love surprises!!
I love surprises and am often very touched by acts of services.
Thanks so much!!
Your surprises came at the right moment and they are the desires of my heart. Now, i no longer have to listen through the site but have my own mp3 version. :)
Nevertheless, I would like to thank you for being such a great friend who stood by me in dark times. Sometimes it's because you were observant, yet times it's a spiritual intervention.
You've never failed to make me smile. It's your smileys that brightens me. That explains why i will say that the sunflower best describes you.
You will reap what you've sowed in my life. I'm really grateful for all that you've done. I will pray that God willl bless you abundantly.

Just like a star
Actually, especially after a talk with someone yesterday i began to feel a bit sad. That's because, he's my true and closest friend and even to an extent of being my best friend. However, now things have took a turn. We've both moved to another stage of our life.
No doubt i do treasure the frenship and want us to be as close as ever. In fact, our frenship have indeed soared to a place where we feel comfortable with each other through these years. But now circumstances just do not allow us to keep things as it is. Moreover, i personally wanted the boundaries so that it will be healthy and i can be protected right now.
So all i could ask is that he will be able to understand. (Actually i know he does.) I also believe that he will do anything to protect me and let me be happy. Just like him, i also do all these because i care for him and i want him to be happy.
Well, i believe that a true friend is like a star. Sometimes you see it, sometimes you don't. Yet you know that the star is there.
Words from my heart to him:
Just like a star, i'm always there for you! But i'll only be behind the clouds for the time being.
You're the result of the choice i've made in my life and you'll always be close to my heart.
