i just finished re-reading Boy Meets Girl a few nights ago, and there's this part where the pastor told the guy, 'I think you desire marriage so much that it's become a mini god to you.' And just last night, i was drifting off to sleep when this thought flashed across my mind: 'don't let your studies become your god....'

haha, i was kinda confused. cos it's not like studying eats much into my quiet time (though admittedly, sometimes it makes me so sian that i dont feel like praying.) then i began to realise that it's far deeper than that. during exams, we tend to study so hard, lose so many hours of sleep and neglect our diets to the extent that we fall horribly ill. and worse, we start to neglect our relationships with those around us. but what does the Bible say? 'Your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit.' 'We who had sweet fellowship together walked in the house of God.' it really made me understand that more than just quiet time alone, if we shortchange God in these 2 areas, we've alr let our studies replace God's position as Lord of our lives...

haha. i'm gonna make it a personal goal not to be shortchanged in this area this sem (:
