Praising in the Storm
Who among you has friends?
Everyone has. At least two friends or so. Eventually, your classmates or colleagues are your friends in a way or another.
.
.Who among you has close friends?
Everyone has. It is not easy to have friends who know you in and out. If we do,how much do we allow them to know us? There is an extent to it and we in our human nature tend to cover up as Adam and Eve did years, years ago. They covered themselves with leaves and hid from God. That probably explains why the people tend to cover up skilfully. No lessons needed and definitely from our own inner self .
.
.Who among you has friends who are submissive to God in times of trouble?
We may have some who praise God when they are happy and joyful. God is all whom they want to shout their gratitude to. When it comes to troubles, we probably have none in this stage. However, I have one whom I remember vividly. She is one strong girl. Her fervency for the Lord just amazes me. And that stirs me to write this post.
.
.Dear friends, always remember God is seeing you through in every stage of your life. He saw you even before you were born.
“And I’ll praise you in this storm
and I will lift my hands
for You are who You are
no matter where I am
and every tear I’ve cried
You hold in your hand
You never left my side
and though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm”
.
Praise Him in the storm. Choose to be under His mighty wings. There’s no greater joy than being with Him. His love and promises endure forever…
Checked Out?
And so, the second post of the year seems pretty long since it is already the third month of the year. Wanted to post something what my course is… IS really about. Due to the slow connection which my college has to offer, I couldn’t upload any pictures so I can’t do anything much for the moment.
And wait, if you’re thinking I am coming back to the…
WORDS + PICTURES = BLOG!
No,it is not. I want to show you the white-hair engineers and the aircrafts there.
Back to what I wanted to share initially. As I was in the toilet doing my laundry, my neighbour came in and we talked. I must tell you that the ’semangat kejiranan’ here is the same as in KL. People told me KL-ians don’t talk with their neighbours. They leave for work early in the morning and reach home late at night. How true can this be?
I see this neighbour and pass by him almost every day and yet we can only smile and nod at each other.
We started off our conversation smiling and nodding at each other again…
Surprised!
.My expression was exactly the same as the monkey above, the wide open jaw and eyes. Just that I have more hair and obviously better looking!
That’s basically what we talked about for like….5minutes? Why neighbour you may ask. Simple. I don’t know his name. We were neighbours since I was in the 2nd semester.

Oh yeah, this is my 3rd semester and April will be the last month of it.
*Edited on the rag. I lent the rag to him because the cops came and took fingerprints on his door and cupboard. There was a break-in in his room the other day. It was the 2nd time this happened. My room was no exception but it did not happen to my room that day because I was in the room all day. So, we kind of knew each other out of a tragedy. Pretty sad eh this ’semangat kejiranan’ the Government is trying to instil in all the teenagers. *
