I got a new skin today! I think it's much nicer- it has a clean look and my tagboard can be seen! Yay. What do you think? The theme of the skin can be seen in the edited version of the poem. It was what I wanted to use for last year, but I couldn't find the right skin. Now I have!
I lead worship today for youth, I think it went sort of okay... I'm not sure. Youth went quite well though, with Deqi leading my cell. The topic was controlling fear. To control it, we first have to identify it. Only then will we be able to control it, in a sense. I think it's worse to not know what your being afraid of, it's really scary. At least when you know it, you can deal with it. Know what I mean?
That was step one. Once your fear is identified, you should tell people close to you. Jesus did that when he went to Gethsemane to pray, he brought his disciples along to pray with him. (it's in the gospel of Luke, go find it) It's much easier to deal with your fear when you know that you have the support of friends and/ or family.
After that, choose the right way of dealing with your fear. If it means pushing it aside to do the right thing, then do it. The de vil likes to use fear to push us in the wrong direction, so beware and make the right choice. Evantually, a choice will have to be made, so to keep your mind at rest, make that choice the right one. Then we can use words like... courage.
Hah, that's what I learned today. After youth we went to the Hougang mall for lunch, and headed to Joshua's place. It was fun, though I got kind of tired after awhile. Some of them were playing a card game - "alert" fused with "truth or dare" - and Daniel had to play it. Then sissie and Cheryl started to bug him about his life. He should have known it was coming, I have no idea why he went to play it. It felt like a weird conspiracy because everyone tried to get him to lose so that he had to pick a truth or dare. Really weird, yet strangely amusing.
Anyway, me and sissie stayed till after dinner. Then we left for home with all of them. So here I am. Hah... I like Sundays, it's one of the more enjoyable days of the week for me. I'm going to stop here now. Good night.
