This week has me thinking of how much I have grown to love the present World and had totally no desire for that 'New Jerusalem' Christ had prepared for me.
Sometimes I wonder if I have become like one:
Pleasures I love more,
Pride I desire much,
Joy I seek not.
The second thought on my mind would be clutters in my life, people's life mentally, physically and spiritually. It's something I always remember as having shared in a Sunday school setting to my class for the first time- clearing up of spiritual clutters.
I will write in detail soon. So much for now.

I am the Church, 有一位神.
Great song to remember in light of what is happening.
I am the church. You are the church. We are the church together. All who follow Jesus, all around the world, yes, we’re the church together.
The church is not a building, the church is not a steeple, the church is not a resting place, the church is the people.
I am the church. You are the church. We are the church together. All who follow Jesus, all around the world, yes, we’re the church together.
We’re many kinds of people with many kinds of faces, all colours and all ages, from all times and places.
I am the church. You are the church. We are the church together. All who follow Jesus, all around the world, yes, we’re the church together.
And when the people gather, there’s singing and there’s praying, there’s laughing and there’s crying, all of it saying:
I am the church. You are the church. We are the church together. All who follow Jesus, all around the world, yes, we’re the church together.
I count if I am ninety, or nine or just a baby; there’s one thing I am sure about and I don’t mean maybe.
I am the church. You are the church. We are the church together. All who follow Jesus, all around the world, yes, we’re the church together!

I do hope to blog more
Peace unto you.
Shalom means peace, completeness.
Learning about
1. Peace with God
2. Peace with others
3. Peace with self
Rediscovering that collective testimony is equal, if not, more important than personal witness.
To glorify God means to live at peace, till people wants/desires the Peace in you.
Another topic of interest: God's will.
Knowing God's will, being in the center of God's will, and not in it.
How sure are you?
God's will and our will, what's the difference?
Of course there are guidelines.
Is the thing I am about to do wrong?
Does it glorify God?
Does it hinder service/ministry?
The list goes down with each more specific yet not as definitive as the precious.
Listened to a podcast on fellowship which sort of tied with the what is talked about today, peace, which bring forth unity, being one form of powerful witness to the world as a body in Christ. So a united Church is a Church that have people seeking peace with each other, setting aside differences, and lovingly settle and bring these differences to a right, by always examining self's faults. In real short summary that I have somewhat concluded.
Talking about God's will seems tricky to me. For it seems that it can be 'siamed' meaning avoided, like jonah, Abraham. Or submitted to, like Jesus.
Many like me sometimes find God's will 'unclear'.
Talking about future, it's hard to tell sometimes what you will be doing. Yet it is certain that every decision you made will always lead to the destiny.
It's the yes or no, this way or that way, doing or not doing, out of our free will, as God had sovereignly allowed.
God's will is that you glorify God as you. That's about the gist.
Not in flippant ignorance or indulgence in your fortè. Not also in over imitating of habits of others. To let God use each as a unique soul, fitting rightly where one should be.
That's about all. Can't believe all these months in army had causes me to almost lose the functionality of my brain. Can't seem to engage it in critical and quick succession nowadays.
The upcoming week and months gonna be busy. I guess I still have to dig a shellscrape next week, do route marches and all the really ARMY stuffs. Haha.
Hoping I can make it to youth camp this year. Heard I had to go for some dump(sounds like dumb) truck course this dec from 6-10th....
Oh well, God's will and God's soverign good again.
