Mission Squirrissible
:)
Time is running out.
:)
As much as the future is unpredictable, I shall cherish the present.
Found a place but it’s not time to move on yet.. Well, at least I know it’s there when I have to.
Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. For life is more than food, and the body more than clothes.
Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds! Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to your life? Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest
Consider how the wild flowers grow. They do not labour or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendour was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much more will He clothe you—you of little faith!
And do not set your heart on what you will eat or drink; do not worry about it. For the pagan world runs after all such things, and your Father knows that you need them. But seek His kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well. Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom.
Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a treasure in heaven that will never fail, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

Too many thoughts for one night…
I wonder what God has prepared for me in the future…
I’m sure it’s something awesome :)
Run or stay?
Why do I feel that this is not it?
Something is missing and I cannot deny that I feel a little hollow within.
Lord, what is it that You want me to do? I’m getting so tired that I feel like running away..
Maybe I should.
Diploma Holders MY FOOT!
A close friend told me today that she was the only one in her class who refused to compromise to her classmates’ plan to cheat in their upcoming major internationally accredited examination. At the same time of being very proud of her, I was equally as shocked at the lack of integrity in the rest of them, and they are only in college.
Honestly, if you do not have the integrity to sit for a college examination truthfully, then what kind of people do you plan to be when you step into the real world? It disgusts me how people are willing to conform themselves to such a degrading level just to get what they want. You might think it’s alright to cheat since it benefits everyone in the class but at the end of the day, YOU DO NOT DESERVE good results because you DID NOT earn them. So are you going to cheat your way through life and live a big fat lie?
Personally, I’d rather fail than to cheat. If I fail because I did not prepare myself enough for the examination, then I deserve to fail. If I receive a distinction because I cheated, then I don’t deserve to be respected at all. How am I supposed to live a life pleasing unto God if I can’t even be truthful in an examination? How am I supposed to face myself even? I really don’t understand how this current society has made cheating such a norm. Well, I know I will not succumb to it and I pray that God will continue to give me the strength to do the right thing.
If I’m going to do badly in my exam, at least I’m getting what I deserve and not STEALING what I did not earn.
To those of you who plan to cheat, I may not know you, but SHAME ON YOU. I will not be surprised if the one who chooses to be truthful will achieve better results than all you cheaters.
Gah.
What is Education, really?
Just finished cramming a chapter from my Educational Psychology module - Education for Students with Special Needs. Somewhere in the middle of the chapter, my heart started aching through the pages. It was a rather peculiar mixture of love and pain reading through the labels and characteristics the Education System tries to put on some children..
Idiot? Imbecile? Moron? Are these the type of words children deserve to be defined with? It’s funny how part of the objectives of Special Education is to give ALL children the right to have equality in good quality education and yet we discriminate them with ridiculous labels. I’m not saying one should be in denial and not recognise a child who is different. I just think that it is far better off for the child to not know that they are ‘less normal’ than other kids. They certainly don’t deserve to be labeled with such pathetic choice of words.
All children ARE equal.. They just come in different beautiful packages, that’s all :).. The only labels that should define them are beautiful, precious, special, and important.
Aishah… My lil shining star :) How I wonder where you are… You will always have a special place in my heart and life… May God use you to shine for others… I love you.
