Inevitable
"Do you hear that Mr. Anderson? That is the sound of inevitability.
~The Matrix
I totally should of been prepared for it. But I totally wasn't. If I realized I wasn't prepared for it, then I would of been prepared for it by admitting I'm not prepared for it, and turn to God.
How did life get so busy? What do I say no to?
As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him. She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet listening to what he said. But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, “Lord, don’t you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!”
“Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, but only one thing is needed. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.”
~Luke 10:38-42
"Never put evangelism above your worship."
~e.m. (paraphrased)
"When you make an unwise decision, it not only affects you. It affects everyone around you."
~j.r. (paraphrased)
"In its simplest form, the Christian’s priority list is:
Jesus
Spouse (if applicable)
Children (if applicable)
Ministry/Vocation"

Winter Conference [During]
I did pretty bad in terms of blogging my thoughts =P. I have a lot more thoughts than this that I want to share, but I'll post these up for now. And no, I'm not racist. I've just been in the Asian circle for too long >.<.

It’s been interesting. It feels a bit awkward, since I know less than like 5 people. It’s pretty different from the CCF environment. Maybe I’m too used to there being people who will ensure I’m doing okay? Haha guess I’m not frosh anymore =P. Or maybe cause there’s so many white people LOLZ.
I slept with a white dude last night. No lies. I was glad it was warm enough though, so that we didn’t have to lie down together to keep each other warm.
I think one thing about me is that there are not a lot of topics I’m interested in talking about outside of Christ. My standard out-of-context joking and Taylor Swift remarks are just not the most ideal topic starters. I unno – I should really take up a hobby or something that will change that. A catalyst that will lower my activation energy so that bonds are more readily formed.
Nothing big from the talks has hit me yet, but there were an interesting quote (paraphrased) – “You can either choose to live with your small plans, or to surrender to His big plans”.
I keep thinking back to fall retreat (that I didn’t go to). A big part of me that didn’t want to go to fall retreat was because I was kinda tired of doing things for my growth. Not saying growth is bad, but that I’m not really interested in sponging up things anymore. I guess in a way I’m disappointed right now, because winter conference is like another retreat. I’m hoping I’ll be more “alive” for the outreach sessions. Who knows? It’s better than sitting at home trying to find something to do.

I might have to take some words back lolz. I really enjoyed the seminars, although I won’t go into too much detail on them. The topics were fasting, reaching out to family, and building a men’s ministry.
I dunno if it’s just me, but everyone but me seems to be enjoying the talks. I kinda wish they were more bible-study like. I guess I’m not the type that needs to get pumped up with experiences? No idea. Or maybe they don’t speak as much to me as they would to other people. Who knows?
I realized just now that I need to watch my time. No more double-dinner dates for me >.<. I guess I’m not the most experienced in having too much on my plate (maybe I should talk to some accountants haha), but I have a feeling (ooo ooo) that I’ll have to start saying no a lot more next term. Or just sleep less =P. I have enough practice with that.
White people are awesome. I should meet more =D.
More to say, but not enough time =P.
