saw a rainbow todayit was beautiful and it's only the 2nd time ive seen a rainbow with colours as clear and distinct as this one
and its arc, it stretched a curvy,sharp semi circle across the greyish-blue sky, from about ahneh's place to my uncle's.
that just reminded me of noah's own ark, how detailed it was, how obedient he was and most of all, how when the whole world was sinning, and perhaps he looked like the odd idiot out, but he stood his ground and committed everything to God and just had a really cool intimate relationship with God.
that was it really, God made me realise that He was God, the almighty, the one who holds the answers and solutions, to troubles in our lives, He holds the details to our own personal ark and He would give it to us because He loves us so much, but we or rather i dont get it sometimes cos we're flimsy in our relationship with God, or we look at the circumstances and we lose faith and confidence and become cynical and worldly and in the end we have no ark or a very distorted one that wldnt last in the rain.
anyway i didnt see the rainbow at first when ah neh just stood there and went "oh my God" and i looked around and went "huh? what? are you ohkay what happened?" and i had no idea it was there till i saw him looking up and there it was in all its magnificent splendour and glory, the rainbow's a symbol of God's promise, a seal to His word, a new hope, and just like many of God's promises i dont think ive seen and claimed most of them, ive just been walking by looking at the floor and shuffling my feet through life and God reminded me that I had to look up sometimes, to see the blessings and things that He had for me and not pass them by anymore.
As we walked to the bus stop, ah neh was like "superr.. rainbow on the first day of 2007!" and that just reminded me of 2006 it's been a year of growing and maturing for me, not only in the Lord, but in the world as well, ive been meeting new pple, ive made new friends, ive learnt many lessons in the way i interact with people, ive been a cell intern who hasnt done anything, ive been a worship leader who's been enthusiastic and gave his all into it but didnt do very well, ive tried helping people to experience the magnificence of God's love, ive been a really sweet and horrible son at the same time, ive been kicked out of my house, ive been going out more than i used to in the last 2 years combined and it orginally felt like this year really sucked, i didnt get much accomplished and im homeless now but ive learnt a lot through the times ive failed, and ive learnt to have great heart to heart talks face to face instead of just online, like my social life just doesnt consist of goingout in huge grps and shouting out dumb comments or something (not that that's not fun or it's wrong, its just rather sad if that's the only way i know how to talk to people), i really appreciate the times with my friends when there were just 3 or 4 of us and we just talked about serious stuff and joked around too, things like that and i really wanna thank all of you for making this year such a fond one =)
oh and the rainbow reminded me of the super nice layered colourful nonya kueh too YUMMYYY. :D
