Unceasing Worship

We have comprised a total of 5 ccf members: Arnold, Tony, Chris, Gabrielle & Me =)

Asians for the winn

LOLs kidding, it's not really official, but it's just our own little prayer/share/discussion meeting!

We have an on campus fellowship that we go to (most people are coccasion), but we've decided to start meeting up together...as chinese/asians...to pray and support each other weekly. Destination: At Me and Tony's Res. Yup.

--//I've been reading a worship book lately, called "Unceasing Worship"

And today, I learned that..."Nobody does not worship".

"Everybody inhabiting this world today, is bowing down and serving someone or something. Could be an artifact, a person, an institution, and idea, a spirit, or God through Christ".

"Worship is the continuous outpouring of all that I am, all that I do, and all that I can ever become in light of a chosen, or choosing God".

Why Outpouring? Or...why "pouring"? Because you want to POUR out continually. You don't want drip. Dripping is not pouring. Dripping is discontinuous, drip by drip. By pouring, there is no room for anything else in between.

Worship, is not singing songs (if not known already). Singing songs and giving praise is a form of worship, but it is not the ONLY form of worship. Worship, does not stop. After you finish singing, or what we call today as "worship time" when we come together at church, that is NOT the end of worship. You don't worship 'some times'...and not, during other times. (I lost my idea here...maybe I will post it in the future)

Some examples of outpouring the book gives are: serving, relating, giving, befriending, revealing, fellowshipping , sacrificing, bearing up with, and more like it.

Some concepts are quite hard to understand for me...but I do get a lot out of it.

Sharing Care

I don't care for other people...yet I want people to care for me; how is that fair?

I really feel like I genuinely don't care sometimes...a LOT of times...ALL the time, probably.

I don't think 'care' is something that's not mutual. I mean, when people give you love, usually you'd wanna give it back. Or you're supposed to feel a tendency to show care back. When you're loved, you want to love back. It's almost a mutual thing.

"Do to others, as you would have them do to you" (Luke 6:31)

I don't know how that relates, directly. But, it seems like it does.

--//In past posts, it seems like I DO CARE a lot...but for the wrong reasons/things. I care about how ppl see me, my impression on people. I care about how the things I do affect people, or offend people, or affect an image of me. That's a different care. There's a difference between caring about people, and...caring about what people think, which translates to caring about yourself. So ones, caring about OTHERS really, and ones caring about YOURSELF. Hmm...

I'm sorry, if you hafta read this...it might annoying already, that I rant so much...so I apologize to those readers.

Me Eyes

If we didn't have eyes...I wonder if we'd sin as much. If we were blind, we would be free...I'd think, of a lot more temptations. Because most of the things that distract and attract me, are things that I can see.

Being able to see, could be a blessing. But it could also become a tool of temptation (most very very likely).

I mean, we can use the eyes we have to...read the Bible. Or, we could use it to...look at...other more attractive things.

Wisdom...

Teeth, that is.

It's now 5:03am, and...I can not sleep. The only difference between this night and other nights is...I took some drugs. Medical Drugs that is, that help me ease pain, prevent swollen-ness, and infection, due to my wisdom teeth surgery. I thank God I'm a tank (not in a cocky way, cuse, who says that? lol)...just for this time around. I took my wisdom teeth out today...and I was up and running, doing everything normal, today. I ate regularly, went to church...hardly needed any rest; when I hear that most people take a week or two to recover from wisdom teeth surgery. Praise the Lord haha.

Well, we don't KNOW if there;s any problems yet, but so far, it's been smooth.
