Hello Spring !

Such a long time since the last post ... half a month? Wonder if anyone still reads this. Everyone seems so busy these days ... and sick too :( if not sick, then tired ... wonder if it's the time of year or something. Ive been pretty weak lately myself, not sure what it is but the past couple of days ive been physically and mentally unable to do stuff. It's been pretty bad, esp with the ulcer and stuff. This year, i seem to need "stop" days every now and then, days in which i stay home all day, get out of bed some time in the afternoon cos i can't do anything else.

Everything seems to be pass, everything transitory ... beauty fades, friendships grow distant ... these days, sometimes i feel like everything that i do or relationships that are formed, and how i feel about things, they'll all pass with time. Like say you're hurt, it'll pass ... "get over it and move on" seems to be the key to all problems, push on, doing the best you can. Feels like everything is meaningless. But then again i know that God is eternal and He is sovereign over all. It is apart from Him that all things are meaningless ... life lived under the Lordship of Jesus Christ is filled with meaning, purpose and value :)

Got a job at a females' fitness centre in Epping! We'll see how it goes, especially given how we only have 24 hrs a day. Such a nice, warm, positive, purple environment! And the people are all so wonderful ... the place just makes you want to bubble ^^ hehe and i rather like their strength machines. Hehe got my % body fat tested by this medical/scientific machine yesterday arvo (apparently it's much more accurate than skinfolds). Hmmm if you round up my reading, it's 11% ... which i reckon is like ... impossible!! My (future) employer seemed to believe it, and got a bit worried ... will definitely test it out again next time ... i mean what kinda scientist trusts results based on only one reading :P

Ohhh getting late, might go have a look at this cardio sculpt aerobics tape ... hehe. Good morning Spring :)

Update: Ohhh just read up on taking body fat using a machine ... and i dont think that reading of 11% was very accurate considering how i drank some water within 4 hours of testing and moved around ... so im afraid it's higher than 11% eeeek. Ah well, at least im not fulfilling one of the criteria for anorexia then :) Must get it tested again sooon!

Silly act number err ... hmmm

Grrr glasses for a week!! Don't know why but this year has been filling up with many silly (literally silly) injuries for me ... finger still has a few more months to go, redid my ankle a bit recently, plus a couple of others ... and now my eye. Hehe they're injuries ive had to go see the doctor with too!! Such stoopidity ... so embarassing too! In case anyone's wondering what happened to my eye, i punched it. Accidentally. Was lifting this heavy cardboard box yesterday morning, and cos there were no holes or handles and we were in a hurry to get the ambo onto the road, i was stoopid enough to lift it with full strength by the flaps. The flaps ripped off and the knuckle flew upwards and *smack* onto my eye. And that's the reason for the blood clot, and that's why im wearing glasses for the time being :P Hehe was so embarassing how one St John person was treating another aiiii.

Lost !

One thing i've noticed. If i'm going to meet up with some people, say bowling at Top Ryde, and i'm running unexpectedly late, and and i suddenly call someone who's there at the meeting place already, the phone conversation will go like this:

Friend: Hey vincy
me: Hallo! How's it going?
Friend: Good!
me: Hey, are you at (meeting place) yet?
Friend: Yep. Where are you?
me: I'm lost :( *boo hoo*
Friend: Cool...where are you now?
me: Don't really know. *tries to describe location*
Friend: *gives directions*
etc.

This is usually followed by a second call pretty much along the same lines ... or if the Friend is lucky, i'll show up a little later. I guess im not known as Dory for nothing after all !!

So, being quite lost as i usually am, what Jesus said to His disciples at the Passover Feast is especially comforting.

"Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going." (John 14:1-4)

We can become quite lost living in this world, andnot just cause it's round and therefore we can go round and round and round and round without really knowing it. We may feel stuck in a certain situation or issue or in a certain state of mind or certain state of heart. But we don't have to be troubled when we trust in God. Jesus is the way. We have been invited to know the way, and we don't have to be lost. Yippee :)
