HAH,but yeah,here’s the gist of it, I know y’all are gon love me for keeping it short.lol.

This also goes out t GY8 for the sweet sweet seranade- and for the peeps who blew holes in their pocs for dinner at swens with me on tues night. thaaaaaanks.
Hah there’s like so many people to thank-

1) Perl, yamatai’s SC/GL for picking jon,gerald and aku out to dance for yamatai- was a great honour to,and i can safely say all of us dancers had an awesome time rocking the house to the glory of Yamatai! lol!
2) it aint the easiest thing t pick up any genre of dance and perfect it in 2 days, but hey- this was where all the GLs/Scs/SBs/Scos came in, and y’all are bout the awesomest people for all that time and effort spent to work with us on our dance and throw out pointers for improvement t make it look so ass-kicking la! hahah!
3) all of yamatai’s dancers, jon,gerald,samuel,zhanyi,guoping and the gals- hey,we made best dance- :D

i don’t have all the pictures in yet- for your viewing pleasure,these are bits and pieces i got from the dancers- post BAOC 2007- Ba’s freshies.enjoy.

the lord keeps bringing me back to this verse in romans 8:28

‘and we know that in all things god works for the good of those who love him,and have been called according to his purpose’

it always serves as an apt reminder that everything and everyone can be working against you, but if we anchor ourselves in the love of god, we can be ‘hard-pressed on every side,but not crushed;perplexed,but not in dispair; persecuted but not abandoned;struck down but not destroyed’

the thing about this phrase ‘his purpose’ is tht we tend t confuse it with ‘our purpose’,and the reason why is pretty simple actually. cus we fear what god reveals to us about what he wants in our lives.cus we dont see how what god wants could ever fit in, and we think we could steer our lives in a better direction.

and for that reason we fabricate another purpose altogether,one that makes more sense;to us that is.and we spend all our efforts in a fruitless pursuit, the end of which leaves you just as empty as you were.put an end to these futile pursuits today,they lead you to everywhere but the place your soul desires to be the most-where you can meet god. and the world instigates these outwardly pursuits so that we look everywhere for god in this world but ourselves.

the kingdom of god isnt really as far as we think it to be, do not be decieved! Within each of us the holy spirit has deposited seeds of faith,and should we tap into the right source,from this seed will spring forth fruits that bring restoration, redeem you from the stains of your past,and free you from living as a slave to fleeting pleasures and in its place will immeasurable joy take root in your heart-because you love the lord, he stands with you,and because he stands with you, nothing can stand against you.

STORMcity!;
