Emotion
Sometimes i just don't know. Like i just don't know why it's already 2:09am and i'm still up. Well, i feel justified cos i started baking an apple crumble pie, peanut butter-oatmeal-choc chip cookies, and a bannana cake at 11pm, so by the time i'm fully cleaned up 3 hours later, that's not bad.
Last night i took my new 'window writers' from Crayola and wrote notes and bible verses to my 3 housemates on our living room windows...that was done from 2-2:30am. Seems i'm rather pensive and reflective at this time of the morning.
Except i wish i could cry. I haven't cried since Angola. I have so much built-up emotion that i would say it's worth the cry. Normally i would cry quite wonderfully in the safety and comfort of my own room...but i'm not sure if what i'm currently going thru is worth the cry....yet.
This past week, i've listened and journeyed with a few close friends as they've shared about their lives...and i feel both priveledged and blessed that they'd share it with me. I think I've been given perspective this week. But along with perspective comes emotional response. I've been doing alot of "sigh-ing" this past few days. I'm definitely being pushed out of my comfort zone....this probably doesn't make sense, but that's ok, i'm being vague and cryptic on purpose.

hey shermeen..
amanda here. :) i don't know how many amanda's you know, but i'm the singaporean amanda. ;) i'm glad to see you're updating you blog regularly now...i'll be sure to check back often.
man i have those moments too - moments where i just don't know, and where i just ask all sorts of questions that beg no immediate answers. sometimes it's just a big mesh of emotions that just overwhelms me and i just cry, without knowing the specific reason for it. i guess we girls are just emotional that way. that's ok that you're vague, i get that way too...but i'm gonna try to remember to pray for you in this time. hang in there, sis...and i miss you. :)
much love,
amanda

hhaha...i miss ya shermeen! i have no idea what you are talking about but i hope this verse encourages you!
"Not that I have already obtained it or have already become perfect, but I press on so that I may lay hold of that for which also I was laid hold of by Christ Jesus. Brethren, I do not regard myself as having laid hold of it yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead,
I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus."
-Philippians 3:12-14
