Learnt

The first week of holidays really made me relax a lot. Besides the conference I went to, when I lie in bed at night, I thought about what I learnt. I shall list out what I learnt. I may not remember now but I will add in the list from time to time.

  • You don't have to marry just to follow the traditions or because everyone is doing so. From the Bible, God says that if you meet somebody, it is not wrong for you to get married. However, he said that it is better to stay single. That way, you can focus on seeking God's Kingdom 100%.

  • You learn to love from God. He shows His love through the Bible. Read Gen 1.


p/s : I went to Castle Hill yesterday. It was really fun and I will upload photos if I do get them before Wednesday. I will be going for a field trip and a church camp after that so I will be on hiatus after that. =)

but if u don marry - how can u keep the family tree going? yes, staying single is good to keep your faith strong, but that doesnt mean that when ppl marry, their faith isnt as strong as those that stay single.

be careful what ppl feed ur thoughts.

:)

hope u had fun at ur field trip! im gona go home now hehe, still in skool, was doing maths. byebyee

staying single means tat u can focus on God, and if u cannot control, den you are allowed to marry. go read on 1 corinthians 5:7
Humans are multiplying anyway so there are a lot of people in the world, i dun have to be one of those to keep it multiplied. I think i will blog one post on this soon when i have the time.

Did Jesus said it's better to stay single? Haha, i'm not trying to argue, just wanted to know which book, chapter and verse, coz i've never read it before..haha!

But God did say to Eve in the very first place to be fruitful and multiply :P

1 Corinthians 5:7, I had the same thought as you until I read the chapter in Bible and changed my mind about things. I have quite a bit of fears about these things until i read the verse and now i am not scared anymore. now more people are questioning me.

but we aren't arguing in the sense that u are right or wrong. like u said, everyone is entitled to our own opinions, which was why i said what i said, it wasn't to negate your views.

i just dont agree with the fact that if u stay single u can focus more on God, i did ponder about it for a while and i actually think that your faith can grow stronger no matter if u are married or not. im not anti-single, in fact thinking abt marraige scares me at this age (duh! ;P) and i don even want to think abt it actually. i love being single :D but my point is that i dont entirely agree that marraige is a hindrance to our focus on God. actually, marraige has nothing to do with strengthening or lessening our faith. whether you choose to marry or not should not affect your faith - marraige is hmm... like lottery. you don't know if u will get it or not. err. i think my analogy sucks. gah.

erm. yea. what was i talking abt? oh yea. like lynnxjie said as well, that if can't fnd the *dramatic voice* -one true love- *normal voice* then no need to marry. im not disagreeing by saying, U HAVE TO MARRY. right? get me? :) cool. hahhaa

ta. gona do chemy now. tc

yea, i get u, okla.. but rite.. if u're single, you dun have a lot of responsibilities and u can focus on God. And what i meant focus on God is serve for him, work in the church. anyway, i cannot see myself doing this for the rest of my life. =) I am just saying anyway.
haha, with ur one true love, have u been watching Enchanted more than one time?
