A Father's Love
This video was played in church tonight when Karen preached on 'Everybody Needs A Father'. I was moved by this video and the testimonies these young people shared regarding their father. It was an emotional night...but I'm glad many took a step of faith in allowing God to show them what a true father's heart is.
This video has touched lives...Hope it touches yours too...

: footprints in the sand :
When I was younger, I used to think life was a bed of roses. I never had to do anything to please anyone or even make decisions that I know will drive me crazy.I've never had to deal with hypocrites,never had to deal with stress or never have I ever had to deal with any crap from anyone. I was young and free...Life was SIMPLE. I used to wake up every morning with breakfast well prepared at the table, dad drove my sis and I to watch sunrise before school started and my parents had never laid a finger on us or punished us before. Sis and I were blessed...very BLESSED....now, still the same.
As years gone by,we're all grown up..There are so many things that need to be put aside to move on with our journey in life.This time there are lots of decisions to be made..work, studies...relationships with friends and close ones.Never have I thought I'd come to this point in life where things are so complicated and it gets me all emotional at certain times.Totally hate this feeling..but I guess this is a phase we all have to get through. ( but I do hope it doesn't come around again)
I was just asking Yennee why does everyone have to leave?I asked cos I've never thought friends would leave and also because I've lost many friends in the past..moving here and there and all around. S.U.C.K.S! Friends to me are gold..I cannot afford to see them go. I had a few really close friends back in the States whom I share practically my life with.. but at the end of the day, with just ONE decision..I lost them. I decided to come back to Malaysia for good and since then, I've never seen again.I doubt I ever will.Its sad though... :( It is easy finding new friends but its not easy having REAL ones. It was months ago when I thought I found a bunch of good friends whom I shared good times with, chillin` out at wee hours..doin` silly things. But unfortunately, with ONE decision I had to make between me and my other half killed it. It took my 'friends' away...But after a while, I realised its all good...If they stay...they are True...if not..I don't see any point having them around. But...GOD IS GOOD..HE's blessed me with one...One that stood by me all along, encouraging me throughout all difficulties. Few days ago, he left.... but one thing I'm glad of is that I know I'll see him again...SOON!.... :)
Was just yesterday that Bernz (my honey lemonade) told me she's gonna be leaving too! ITs sad that everyone's leaving. But by the grace of God, its for the best~ Bernz' a childhood friend...but we've never got so close til recently. She's an amazing friend! Love you much Bernzzzz....And Im SO GONNA MISS U!!
Talking about relationships....Since young, I have a strong relationship with my family. That is why whenever someone tells me anything regarding broken families, I get really depressed and down because throughout my entire life, I've never felt the way these people feel... My times with my family are always HAPPPY....period~ Its sad to know about abusive parents, and parents who just neglect their children because all they look to is $$$... Some of my friends totally despise their parents to the point of wanting them dead. Its hurtful, I understand.
I once had this friend who hated his dad because of his own silly little mistake. He hated his dadsince... He ran away from home and didnt' want anything that has got to do with his dad...Always told me he wanted his dad, dead. *sigh* Afterall...its still his daddy... I just thought he'd learn to forgive . Probably after all that, my friend's wishes did came true. His dad passed on.. and all he had were regrets... I don't know how long will these regrets last...but..I'm sure it will until it all comes to his senses...
Its funny that I'm blogging about all these and if you realised...from the beginning of my post til this point, THEY ARE NOT ALL RELATED! *laughs*
Anyways...what I'm trying to say is that...In our daily lives...people walk by....some people stay, some leave...People who stay are the ones weare to treasure...people who leave are the once we take as experiences. Our family are supposedly our priority. Without them, we're nothing in this world. We're here because both mom and dad decided that we are to come into this world for something good. Parents are parents...sometimes they nag...they grumble and mumble..but know that its for the best~ Some people complain about how their parents can be such 'ass-es' and how their family's all messed up..Think again...Be THANKFUL that you have a family...some don't.
When we look back, people that are gone gave us a reason to smile and know that we have crossed paths at some point in our lives..But people who STAY are the ones we should treasure from now on. Time waits for no man and life's way too short to waste anymore time holding grudges against anyone. Let life be...Life is FREE... We are free to LOVE...

Things turn out
WAY BETTER
Mr.Text Message...Thank you :)

Was at church after gym for Realmies' Night... an impressive night! Good job Realmies! :)
As usual..we were out at GoodAll Kopitiam for supper...Spent a generous amount of time with Yennee,Leonard and Mark just chatting... Fun times.. :)
As quiet as my cellphone can be for today..a message came in at a little past midnight...it beeped 3 times...and as soon as I looked at the cellphone..there were 3 long messages... It was funny cos I have no idea who this person was.. It wrote :

Dear Kerry
You don't know who I am but I attend most of your classes. I am not going to mention my name because I do not want you to know who I am. I just want to admire you from afar.You have been an inspiration to me for these past few months and I have been admiring you since the day I saw you on stage. You give a different perspective to dancing especially to girls. By the way I got your number from the poster for a dance competition last year.I hope one day I will be able to find guts to come up and talk to you and tell you how much I like and admire you.Don't worry, I am no pervert.I am sane and I know when something/someone captures my heart. You are one of them.Kerry,don't ever give up in dancing.I will always be your #1 fan!
Love, Mr.Student
*laughs*... THANK U Mr.Student..if you're reading this. It is really encouraging to have received your text message.I do hope one day you'd reveal yourself though.. :)
Anyhow...guess that was how my day ended... An encouraging yet hilarious text message... :)
Hitting the sack now...
Goodnight ...

Dear Raynard . . .
Sendin' my love all the way from Malaysia!
Ah-Nard..its been 2 days since you left..but I've not seen you since our lunch date at Kim Gary (supposedly our tanning session) *Sigh*...Its a shame that I wasn't able to send you off cos' I had a class later.. But I'm sure having your family around before your departure meant more than anything else.. :)
On Monday night I was browsing through the pictures we took since those times we got to know each other. Brings nothing but good memories...Our joyrides along this journey of life... We cry together, laugh together,dance together,make fun of ppl together,lunch/dinner together, tanning together, "guessing professions" together(winks)...All that are irreplaceable. Gawd..I miss you so much! We've talked about this before..that when you're not around..things won't be the same anymore. But we've made a pat that our friendship is always ongoing and strong unless one of us wants to kick the other out..I doubt it'll ever happen! This is cos' we've been through everything together..good or bad...The good made us happier..the bad made us that much stronger. So everything is falling in line, the way we want it to be!
Thank God you're in in Asia..not somewhere like Africa or Afghanistan or somethin'...then I'd be so worried..You're CLOSE..yet so FAR!but..but but...who knows..one day Cathay Pacific might fly to those areas..and you might even find a wifey! :P *kidding*
Anyways...I was delighted to get your call last night all the way from Hong Kong...Gosh..you don't know how happy I was...At first I was like.."what the heck..whats this person shouting about"...then I heard.."GIRLFRIEND!"...lol! I knew it was YOU! Silly boy! HEHEHE!!! And your text message this morning...Phew...Got the right number!! *laughs*..You're DEAD..I'm so gonna be invading your phone...Be careful...be VERY careful! hahah!!
Seriously...
After months of debating whether to take on this job offer or not...You've now decided! And I'm glad you did. Looking at you being all in a dillemma made me worried.Now that you've decided on this path...Don't look back and regret..instead, make full use of this opportunity to go out there and gain all the experiences you have to gain, meet the people you have to meet...see things that you've never seen before. BUT MAKE SURE TO TAKE PICS!!! You're a cam-whore I know..so I don't even have to tell you that!
Make sure you come back in one piece, cos there are dance performances for you to do.I NEED YOU! I need you to back me up, hun!
Dance group (if theres still one) welcomes you back ANYTIME.. :)
This post is getting a lil` long... I think I better stop for now..i said FOR NOW...wait for msgs on your phone! Take care aite? Miss you a bunch...Know that I'm just a phone call away if you need anything! Be safe....and... God Bless!!WUvvvv YOUU!!
Lotsa Love,
Kerry C
