taking a step into the past...

Was looking through my archive the other day. It's been quite a journey. I started this blog almost three years ago and I guess I have grown a lot since then. The journey has been quite painful most of the time, but somehow through it all I can really see the grace of God on me.

Looking back and reading everything... I can now laugh at them. Those posts that were stupid, I can laugh at them. Those posts that were written when I felt defeated, I can laugh at the devil and tell him that he no longer binds me.

Well, here a rundown of some of my favourite posts as well as some posts that really mean a lot to me, those that have shaped me quite a bit.

The best food post
Rosti
This is the best food post thanks to people who actually tried the recipe and gave me feedback about it!

The most geeky post
Equations of love
This was my first mathematics post. It was truly inspired from above. Many people tell me they have problems seeing God in maths... well... they haven't spoken to me yet then.

The first journal post
101005
This is an honourable mention post. It came just before I entered a time of deep pain and if it had not, I would have lost my anchor in Christ. It also started a long process of reading the Bible everyday, and I can honestly say that I've read the Bible, at least one verse per day, everyday since that post. Even when I was in camp and when I was in USA. If you ask me if it was easy, I will say without hesitation that it was one of the most difficult things that I've done and am doing in my life; to read the Bible, at least one verse per day, everyday. The last such posts was recorded not too long ago and well... now I keep a hardcopy journal.

The mushy poem post
In His Time
Okay... I really wrote that poem; I was a pretty good literature student in lower sec. It was written when I was in a pretty bad emotional state, and the words there calmed me down quite a fair bit. Anyway, that is not the most mushy poem that I've written, the most emo and mushy one I've written is 25 verses long and was never and will never be published in it's entirety on this blog.

My most passionate post
Why jump?
This was my response to the "jumping" issue; it was an echo of my own journey when I was a younger musician. I would say that the story behind this post really made me very proud of One Voice for the maturity they showed in handling the whole issue. The tagboard posts that started it all can be found here:Jump?

The second most-emo post
Stop Dreaming
Well... this post... was a wake up call. Called me back to reality in some way.

The most-emo post by a long shot
WHY.
Well... it's the most emo post for very obvious reasons. It is actually a continuation of the above post. I would say that it was really one of the lowest points in my life; but through the whole experience God really displayed His grace and mercy towards me. I still read it with sadness, but at least now I can see it in a very different light and feel the joy that comes in the morning.
