“"But there must be a real giving up of the self. You must throw it away "blindly" so to speak. Christ will indeed give you a real personality: but you must not go to Him for the sake of that. As long as your own personality is what you are bothering about you are not going to Him at all. The very first step is to try to forget about the self -altogether. Your real, new self (which is Christ's and also yours, and yours just because it is His) will not come as long as you are looking for it. It will come when you are looking for Him. Does that sound strange? The same principle holds, you know, for more everyday matters. Even in social life, you will never make a good impression on other people until you stop thinking about what sort of impression you are making. Even in literature and art, no man who bothers about originality will ever be original: whereas if you simply try to tell the truth you will, nine time of out ten, become original without ever having noticed. The principle runs through all life from top to bottom. Give up your self, and you will find your real self. Lose your life and you will save it. Submit to death, death of your ambitions and favorite wishes every day and death of your whole body in the end: submit every fiber of your being and you will find eternal life. Keep back nothing. Nothing that you have not given away will ever be really yours. Nothing in you that has not died will ever be raised from the dead. Look for yourself, and you will find in the long run only hatred, loneliness, despair, rage, ruin, and decay. But look for Christ and you will find Him, and with Him everything else thrown in." -- C. S. Lewis

Read a testimony tonight which enclosed this very interesting quote. It's good. To me anyway. It's long, but very much worth the read.

Dear Kampung Humming Bird,

This is for you. :)


I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, ...and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together. -- Marilyn Monroe

She isn't exactly the healthiest influence, what with her shady view of life (to me i think), but this excerpt is a good one and I was hoping it could help shed some light on everything that's been going on and help lighten things just a little.

Surfing through Facebook, which is totally new to me. Looking through 3374 pages of thumbnails. (I adore those witty, smart ass one liners). Found some amusing stuff. I love the way I waste time like this. *beams






Some really nice ones too.




Good night. xD
