this sunday will mark the end of chinese new year. and down goes february as well. the year is passing by fairly fast, which means soon i would be moving house and later busy preparing for the big day

it is already five days into lent now – and thirty-five days more to go. this lent i’ve decided to sacrifice the dumb box *boo hoo hoo* so i would be missing my final episodes of sonria pasta, heroes, american idol, grey’s anatomy, desperate housewives, etceteras etceteras. besides this earthly vice, i’m also offering up my awful quick temper, impatience and witty sarcasms. so far i know i’ve done poorly. that’s why it is so much more important to pray more than anything during this difficult time of lent.

here are two very inspiring verses from the book of ephesians that called out to me last thursday.

“get rid of all bitterness, passion and anger. no more shouting or insults, no more hateful feelings of any sort. instead, be kind and tender hearted to one another, and forgive one another, as God has forgiven you through Christ”
Ephesians 4:31-32

“at all times carry faith as a shield; for with it you will be able to put out all the burning arrows shot by the evil one”
Ephesians 6:16

the second verse is such a comforting good news. so let’s have faith and pray. may the Lord God protect us all during this lenten season and shower us with His grace to overcome all temptations to sin against Him. amen
