I have been reading alot lately, and my reading materials span is extreme varieties. I'm just reading stufff... Reading some stuff is really a waste of time, but I'm feeling like a massive information absorbing machine of some sort, and just reading on and on random stuff, whether they are seriously beneficial or not.

On a good note, I did read useful stuff too, that is thought-provoking and makes me react with my "ahhhh-ing". I can say, the christian articles I have read can be really convicting yet I have allowed them to just brush off. It's just a "argh" moment then I move on doing what I am doing.

2 really GOOD websites for christian articles/forums/etc

The Rebelution

Heard about the rebelution website from Grace and checked it out, and it's really good! And I totally agree with whatever they are writing about on the site, regarding how teenagers nowadays are falling way short of what they can do, and that we have treated "adolescence" as a vacation from responsibilities. The Rebelution is basically about teenagers rebelling against low expectations. In their own words, "rebelling against rebellion", which I think is really cool. Their vision is also to encourage teenagers everywhere "to do hard things", which thinking about it, is really great, yet, HARD! (yes that's the whole point, doing hard things) It's about challenging ourselves and going against society's low expectations for youths.

It's crazy. I think we all have a rooted mentality that you know we'll all gonna be this great person doing great things especially for God when we grow up. And well, I do dream alot, but I'm 19! And I'm considered grown up, considering I have a part-time job, am attending university and have an IC. I'm grown up enough...

Honestly, I do feel indignant somehow, because the people that started this website are the same age as me! Reading what they are doing and what I am doing... It's like ?!?!?! I'm not saying that I want to go preach to crowds of thousands or hold conferences like them, that is totally beyond me, but yes, I can do more than what I am doing right now. I shall be "provoked to good works" and be provoked more.

Guilty of being a sloth, seriously addicted to media, and a lack of self-discipline, my number one HARD thing is being a good manager of time. ok, and that is SERIOUSLY HARD... to begin with, the hard thing to do today shall be to go to bed when I reach home. (it's ridiculous why I'm even struggling with this, I knoww...)

If you haven't check out the website, fyi, it's started by the twin brothers of Joshua Harris, the guy who wrote "I Kiss Dating Goodbye". They are 19 and have written the book "Do Hard Things" (if I'm not wrong that's their first book and they have another book coming up), they have held conferences and go on radio stations for interviews or some sort of morning talk show. And that is all so cool!


Ninety and Nine

I chanced upon this website while googling. It's more of a weekly online newsletter, has some really good articles and it's also apostolic! It's really really cool I think to read and see names of people you know coming up. It makes me go, "AH I KNOW THIS PERSON!" They recently had an interview with Bro John Wolfram, one of our preacher for LTD 07, who was also an US Navy SEAL.

They also welcome submissions of articles, so all those who love to write and have a story/testimony to tell, go submit your article!


I'm not a fantastic writer, in fact I tend to ramble more on incoherent thoughts that run through my mind, so this is my small attempt at writing properly. There is more things to write about, but I shall stop for now and return to my textbooks!


God bless.
