just like children.

Dear readers (i hope there are),
I'm so sorry for not updating this humble bloggie of mine. I am utterly upset that I am not able to blog on my birthday (that is 9th Oct) and the special 10.10.10. Those are important dates to mean and i can't blog. Anyways, I can't blog because I have things that are WAY more important than blogging to do, and there are many reasons behind them, which I would not like to list them down because it will cause waste of precious space.
Yours truly,
Joyce
Okay. I know the above (err.. what should I call it? err..) NOTE is kindda lame, and unmistakably CHILDISH, but that's the whole point of this post, becoming like a kid, relive childhood for sometime.
Well, what actually brought me to this topis is something that happened in school today, which was just simply fun, fun, FUN!! Seriously, though there were funny/awesome/great things that had happened throughout this year (Form 4) so far, but never had there been something that was so fun. Playfully fun. Kiddishly fun. Awesomely fun.
Enough with the intro, I shall just get into my story. Today started like ANY other day. Perhimpunan, then class (tries to keep quiet but failed badly at it), then (err... *laughs awkwardly) ponteng, then recess, as usual we makan-ed, chatted, jalan-jalan-ed, then had an inofficial gathering in front of the oh-so-small koperasi eating ice cream, BM period at the library, slept in between the book racks under the fan blowing right at me, went back, and there was the cool breeze. "Oh no," I thought, "how am I ever going to walk back in this weather? Oh God, please don't let it rain..." Then we started our way back to class. And this special day, we had (besides BM, of course) we had relief period all the way until the school ends, so we just chatted and laughed while the moniter tried to control our volumes. Haha. Before long, it started to rain. I randomly walked out to the balcony corridor (my classroom is on the first floor of the block, facing the field), looked at the rain and was asking if someone had brought a phone. Then, a crazy girl (Haha..) splashed some rain water on me. And after that everything started.
I started splashing her back, and she ran back into her classroom, which is next to mine, and some other dudes join in. And me, whose "hyper mode button" was accidentally turned on, filled my cupped hands with rain water and splash them on a dude's back. Which causes more "chaos". Soon enough, almost the whole upstairs of form 4 students, or specifically 16-year-olds were playing rain water like children. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention this. The guys actually took their bottles (minimum 500 ml, maximum 1.5 litre) and filled them with rain water to the brim, and poured/splashed on each other. We bodies were literally totally wet. Really. Our school uniforms are soaking with water. Dripping like crazy. Haha. And that was fun. Sheer FUN!! Haha.
This whole thing lasted for i'm-not-sure-how-long, maybe around 30 - 45 minutes, until the teacher next class came out to the corridor and we quickly went into classrooms. RANDOM classroom but the teacher's. Haha. It had been a long, long time since I had fun with them, and that was really good, just like when we were form 2. Happy days, I call them. Really.
Aren't playing like children happy? Don't we just enjoy ourselves when we stay pure hearted and not think so much about being ugly, not being so self-conscious? Well, I do. I am happy. I, in fact, feel younger. I feel not so stressed. I do not feel the suppressed.
Matthew 18:1-5 9 (New King James Version)
1 At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, "Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?"
2 Then Jesus called a little child to Him, set him in the midst of them,
3 and said, "Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven."
4 "Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven."
5 "Whoever receives one little child like this in My name receives Me."
Well, when Jesus said that "become as little children", it doesn't mean that we are to act stupid like a kid, but rather as a kid trust his father. So we are the kid, and God be the Father.
John 1:12
But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name.
Isn't it wonderful? As long as we believe in Him, He gave us the right to become His children! What would be better than becoming God's beloved child? Pamped by Him, loved by Him, blessed by Him, and so many more! And the best thing is, He wants to give us the best of everything and give us to the fullest. Just like any daddy would do to his children. He provides them EVERYTHING. ALL. Not a thing less, even their so called "own money" is provided by the dad. If an earthly dad would give his children this much, how much more would our HEAVENLY CREATOR FATHER GOD give us? Immeasurable right? Totally.
So let's be like children, pure hearted. And did you ever realise that every children has a kind of special glow in their faces? That's what God wants to give us. You know why? I think la.. Because we look good with it. Hahaha..
Before ending this post, I give you these verses that I just found. Actually I wanna type it earlier one, but I cannot find. Haha.
Luke 18:16-17
16 But Jesus calle dthem to Him and said, "Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for such is the the kingdom of God.
17 "Assuredly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will by no means enter it."
How great is our God. Amen? :)
