Klutzy me.

Hmmmm..... went to catch Janice for lunch yesterday... she was playing badminton in Tampines. When I got there, they were not done yet... so I decided to play with them. hehehe 5 minutes into the game I jumped and landed badly on my right foot... ended up with a sprain. huhuhu

I got a pretty bruise on my leg now... feeling way better than yesterday... It looks horrible but it does not hurt as bad as it looks... I just walk kinda funny. ^_^

Thank you Lord for healing me and it's just a sprain... not dislocated as we feared yesterday. Since I can't move around much... am going to spend my "down" time catching up on work and practicing my violin. Perfect excuse not to go out and exercise. hahaha

^_^ I think my bruise is photogenic. hehehe

10 flights. wahahaha

Mark this day! I was able to climb 10 flights of stairs after my usual long walk from the office to the mrt station then towards home. Resulta... di ko alam. I'm so tired. I still have work to do but my brain is fried. Imbes bilbil ko ang mabawasan... parang utak ko ang nanunuyo. hahahahaha
Sa lagay na to... may energy pa ako magbuklat ng laptop at magpost dito. Wala lang. Gusto ko lang marecord dito.

Goodnight everyone. I will now sleep... gigising nalang maaga para matapos ang work.

Thank you Lord for this wonderful day. Amen.

What does "baptism" mean to me?

These are my personal views/understanding and probably not in line with any church’s view. Hahaha

Mat 28

16Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee , to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. 17When they saw him , they worshiped him; but some doubted. 18Then Jesus came to them and said , "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19Therefore go and make disciples of all nations , baptizing them in[a] the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit , 20and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always , to the very end of the age."

This is my understanding. Followers of Jesus… his closest disciples… people who were closest and the ones who understood the most went to Galilee because He told them too. They were ALL obedient, they ALL worshiped him but SOME doubted. Then Jesus told them… go and make disciples… he told ALL of them… even the disciples who had doubt in their hearts. His command was for everyone who worships him… with or without doubts… to baptize in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

Now… here is the tough part. What does baptizing them mean? Yes, you are right… it means immersion and you feel renewed afterwards… but to me… it does not literally mean immersion in water. To immerse means to be surrounded… so the verse to me means… “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, surrounding them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit”

When I first came to Singapore… I started to become surrounded with teachings and the word of God… slowly my time was consumed by church related activities that teaches, exercises and strengthens my faith and belief. My life was slowly but surely renewed because of this experience. Literally, my life is now surrounded by people who worship the Lord. More time (compared to nil before) is spent immersed in the word of God that even the music I listen to has changed. Though my faith is much stronger, I falter again and again and continue to struggle… so I guess I will have to work harder. ^_^
