Genesis

Been reading Genesis over the past week. Hoping to keep it up-trying to read the Bible beginning to end.
Some thoughts on Genesis so far:
1. God must've been really really angry (understatement) when Adam, Eve and the generations after sinned against Him.
2. What would it be like if I was in Noah's position? Having to watch the whole earth wiped over by a flood. I really admire Noah's faithfulness- God tells you to do something, don't hesitate, just do it. Don't even question his intentions, just believe.
3. Really seeing how amazing God's grace is. He could've unleashed his wrath on us you know? He can, right here, right now, choose to wipe out earth again. But nope. He chose to be merciful sent His son to die for us on the cross as the ultimate sacrifice and save us from condemnation. He did this while we were still sinners too! Gosh, God is amazing.
4.  So, after Noah gets out of the ark, he presents a sacrifice. Can't help but notice that it said "pleasing aroma". But, God doesn't delight in physical sacrifice...but then again, Noah was a very faithful servant who had his heart fixed on God.
5. Genesis 13: Another promise of God- given to Abram; that as been fulfilled! (Yep, God is definitely true to His word. Very reassuring.) And also,

A "short" update

By Annie
Huh, it's been quite a while since I've posted here. Trials are creeping closer and closer, and you can't say I'm not stressed. But at the same time I haven't been the most productive person...in fact, I must say I'm very lazy. Less than 2 weeks til trials and I'm sitting here writing a blog. Here's how I've been going. All the drama's died down since last time, thankfully. I'm learning to let it go and not let it bother me as much. At the moment it seems that my parents are keeping a close watch on my sister, and God willing, it won't happen again. In terms of Barney, I can't say I don't have feelings towards him anymore, but it has been better. I guess I'm able to be comfortable around him again. My pain has returned, but what can I do. My menstrual cycle is currently terrible- I think I've bled for almost a month now. The pain is as usual, a pain- especially to manage because my meds haven't been of use lately....

Apparently not stressed enough.

Why don't my parents do the HSC if they think it's so easy? So, basically, I got my report last night and when my dad saw it, he just kept repeating the fact that my marks were crap and that I'm doing horribly. "You should be the top of the school" My mum wasn't any better, saying that I didn't do well and I need to work harder. Why do they only look at extension maths? I KNOW I FAILED IT. As if I don't feel crappy already. Don't cry. You can't cry.  You're not allowed to cry.

ANNOYING LIFE. I was in quite a good mood this morning...i was happy to be able to see a certain someone for 2hrs. i was happy to be around friends. bible study was fun too. even the afternoon was awesomee. yumcha, fbing,msning. BUT... during piano lessons, the teacher angry at me for not practicing when i had already tried my best. my mum started saying things that i don't like to hear. and my dad lectured me. that really turned my mood off. during the WHOLE car trip i was staring out th window thinking and feeling sad. i really wanted to back-chat to them, but i knew i couldn't. so i was just ignoring it...i was thinking to myself: why do my parents have to set high standards for me? why do they think i can't do things when i can if i try. why do they keep pressuring me? they just don't know that the more pressure they put on me, the earlier i will give up something. even if it's something i like to do. i think being around friends is the happiest moment fo...
