going old style?
i’ve been wanting a polaroid for a while. i didn’t know that there are digital polaroid cameras now. i guess that’s the kind of generation we live in today.
came across lomography as well.
there’s so many options out there. don’t know which one i want!
need to think about the cost of the films too. maybe it isn’t a bad idea to go digital.
hmm maybe i’ll wait til my bday to buy one for myself hehe.
Merry Christmas!
i spent most of today at home, cooking/baking & eating… hehe
how did you celebrate the birth of your Savior?? 🙂
the kind of peace we should desire
“I find that, too often, I want a satanic peace, the kind that comes with Christlessness. I just want tranquility, to be left alone with the path in which I want to go. That’s the kind of peace that comes with slavery, and it’s attractive (Gal. 4:9). After all, peace with Pharaoh simply means making more stray bricks. Peace with the flesh simply means watching out for your own tribal loyalties. Peace with Satan simply means marching in rhythm with your desires toward a bloody grave (Eph. 2:1-3).
You can have a Christless pseudo-peace, for a little while.
But true shalom doesn’t leave us alone, as though we were orphans (Heb. 12:8). Christful peace prompts us to struggle (Heb. 12:4), to scream out for deliverance (Rom. 8:15), to be nailed down in execution (Mt. 10:38).
Only in that kind of disturbance do we find the “peace that passes all understanding” (Phil. 4:7). In the gospel that uproots the powers of this age (including our own tranquil egos), we find “peace with God” (Rom. 5:1), as our consciences are cleansed before him. We find peace with one another as we find our identity in Christ who is our peace, and the old dividing walls implode (Eph. 2:14-17).
That’s a sword-rattling kind of peace, and it’s anything but calm, anything but quiet.”

I think I’ve been pursuing the “christless” kind of peace so much with my family. Always chickening out to be bold and share the Truth, scared to disappoint them, scared to face persecution and hurt again.
Gotta change.
Gonna make baby steps.
why is home food the BEST!?
i regret not taking pix of what i’ve been eating everyday since i’ve been back.
here’s a pic of my dinner tonight with my mom and grandma. thankful for awesome family that pampers me!
God is good!
Back to blogging… I don’t know why. Maybe because one of my friends at church reminded me of this blog haha.
Anyways, been back home for almost a week. I was reminded yesterday at church that God-worshipper are everywhere!
Thanks to all who sincerely listened about my anxiety regarding future stuff. Mad thankful for the spiritual fam at home.
Still working on Lordship and learning what it means to surrender EVERYTHING.
My daily prayer: “may the things of earth become strangely dim in the light of His glory and grace”
