Here's a poem written by Lena Lathrop, entitled " A Woman's Question". It chills me as if the poem is talking to me, or for me. It shows me to be the immature boy that I am, stopping me in my tracks and daring to be man enough to treat a woman right.
Do you know you have asked for the costliest thing
Ever made by the Hand above?
A woman's heart, and a woman's life -
And a woman's wonderful love.
Do you know you have asked for this priceless thing
As a child might ask for a toy?
Demanding what others have died to win,
With the reckless dash of a boy.
You have written my lesson of duty out,
Manlike, you have questioned me.
Now stand at the bars of my woman's soul
Untill I shall question thee.
You require your mutton shall always be hot,
Your socks and your shirt be whole;
I require your heart be true as God's stars
And as pure as His heaven your soul.
You require a cook for your mutton and beef,
I require a far greater thing;
A seamstress you're wanting for socks and shirts -
I look for a man and a king.
A king for the beautiful realm called Home,
And a man that his Maker, God.
Shall look upon as He did on the first
And say:" It is very good."
I am fair and young, but rose may fade
From this soft yound cheek one day;
Will you love me then 'mid the falling leaves,
As you did 'mong the blossoms of May?
Is your heart an ocean so strong and true,
I may launch my all on its tide?
A loving woman finds heaven or hell
On the day she is made a bride.
I require all things that are grand and true,
All things that a man should be,
If you give this all, I would stake my life
TO be all you demand of me.
If you cannot be this, a laundress and cook
You can hire and little to pay;
But a woman's heart and a woman's life
Are not to be worn that way.
YEah, the poem wording might be a bit old-fashioned, but the message is timeless... So man enough to answer????

Talking about perseverence, it often relates to DOTA items of which heroes used as a tool for battle.... It gives a HP and mana regeneration, so that when the enemy attacks one heroe, hp and mana regeneration also builds up..... It was always the first thing that most DOTA gamers buy for their heroes, if not a priority to buy it. It was really joyful to play DOTA with friends.
Today, I start my 1st post-christmas day with a little quiet time reading my bible, and this verse caught my attention, it says:
" Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of faith develops perseverance. Perseverence must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him."
James 1: 4-5
Yeah, many things happen to me and the loved ones around me. No matter how hard I try to help,things are not going too good, it goes even uglier. I pray for miracles to happen that the day will turn bright; I pray for wisdom for me to handle trials; I pray for happiness for ppl around me. Well, thanks to this verse, my thirst for an answer is quenched by the Word of God. Thank God...
"It takes love to stop ur love ones to do the wrong things; but it takes an even greater love to allow ur love ones to do the wrong things so that they would learn and be mature."
Amen...

Would I believe you when you would say
Your hand will guide my every way
Will I receive the words You say
Every moment of every day
(chorus)
Well I will walk by faith
Even when I cannot see
Well because this broken road
Prepares Your will for me
Help me to win my endless fears
You've been so faithful for all my years
With one breath You make me new
Your grace covers all I do
yeah, yeah , yeah, yeah, yeah, ya
(chorus)
Well I'm broken, but I still see Your face
Well You've spoken, pouring Your words of grace
(chorus x2)
Well hallelujah, hallelu
(I will walk by faith)
Well hallelujah, hallelu
(I will walk by faith)
I will walk, I will walk, I will walk by faith
I will, I will, I will walk by faith

King Kong... Who's in disguise?
Posted at » 7:38 AM
Once upon a time, King Kong came to this Muddy Land without friends nor family to be with to learn how to be a good Shaman King Kong... King Kong was so talkative and crappy with the new founded friends, yet insensible and insensitive with what words spoken up... Words that unintenttionally hurt ppl, words that are too crappy.. There goes fate of King Kong when friends isolate King Kong when they left to the higher grounds... King Kong broke down and cried, King Kong wants to reverse time to change his attitudes, not to be crappy, not to brighten ppl up when things go wrong... That was the deepest night ever for King Kong, with no family to care, no friends to share.... There, through the darkest nights, there was the star of hope, the brightest star that he ever seen... It guides its way through the darkest nights, a companion through the wilderness... And here, King Kong persevere on and move on well... (cont...)

When you get caught in the rain
With nowhere to run
When you’re distraught and in pain
Without anyone
We keep prayin’ to saved
But nobody comes
And you feel so far away
That you just can’t
Find your way home
You can get there alone
It’s okay
What you say
I can make it through the rain
I can stand up once again
On my own and I know
That I’m strong enough to mend
And every time I feel afraid
I hold tighter to my faith
And I live one more day
And I make it through the rain
And if you keep falling down
Don’t you dare give in
You will arise safe and sound
So keep pressing on
Step fastly
And you’ll find what you need
To prepare
What you say
I can make it through the rain
I can stand up once again
On my own and I know
That I’m strong enough to mend
And every time I feel afraid
I hold tighter to my faith
And I live one more day
And I make it through the rain
And when the wind moves
And shadows grow close
Don’t be afraid
There’s nothing you can’t face
And sure they tell you
You’ll never pull through
Don’t hesitate
Stay calm and sane

Today was suppose to be a happy day.... Had great time have lunch with Shan Ming, James, Wei Ming, and Patrick...... It was even awesome when we guys played basketball for 2 hrs in IMU.... THings somehow got out of control, the situation turns sweet to sour, a very sour sour one... I'm sad that every actions have consequences, and they are good or bad...... For this, one of my buddy got mad of ur action.. Very very mad... :<, I just dun wanna put this situation down too clearly.... Just wanna say all of us are not perfect, and because of this, we accidentally hurt someone we care.... So, I just pray for God's wisdom for me to see for solutions, and not the problem... Things like these will and always come, but I pray I got enough wisdom and set my eyes on the solutions , not the problem....
