HOW I GOT MY NAME?

How did i get my name? This girl...Cheryl Teigs. How did u get yours? Heehee...

SOMETHING EVEN MY PARENTS DUNNO

Okay, I have a confession to make.

*take a deep deep breath*

I am proud to announce that...........................I AM A KOREAN-DRAMA-SERIES ADDICT................and noone is going to stop me. YEAH!!!!......here are some of my accomplishments.

If you wanna be a successful korean-drama-series addict, i recommend "My Lovely Sam-Soon". I am a living testimony. Haahaa............

"Jenny and Juno"....veri cute drama that i just finished watching last nite. If you don't want heaps of crying, then watch it. And dun u think he is cute....actually both of them are cute!!

An as a self-acclaimed korean-drama-series addict, one of my goal is to watch "Full House" which has been much talked about by the 'media'. Heehee....apparently, this movie can actually change your sexual orientation (applicable to guys only). Some guys who watched it actually are beginning to discover their feminity. According to one such true man, he said "it actually makes me feel gay". So there u have it. A muz watch.

Anyway, there are others that i've watched along my career...but yeah. I hope that i have influenced you in a positive way. Go, try and sit in front of your tv, dedicate a few hours (more like 24hrs) and see the rewards it brings. Heehee....i can't believe i'm posting this as an entry. Man.........am i that bored?? Heehee....have fun!

SLEEPLESS NITES IN SCORESBY

THe last couple of nights has been really frustrating but yet worth it. I've been trying to sleep latest 1am becoz uni has finally begun. But i can't. Sleeping @ 5am/6am. Its crazy...

Anyway, one night i couldn't sleep and so i decided to read "Footprints". A cool book which talks about the reason behind that famous poem. ANyway, i was reading and something pop out from the book. This lead to other things popping out from the bible too.....(sorry trying to make this short n sweet). So here is a summary of the things that 'popped out'. Heeeheee.

"Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord; trust in Him and He will do this:He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn, the justice of your cause like the noonday sun." ~Psalm 37:4-6

"If the Lord delights in a man's way, he makes his steps firm, though he stumbles, he will not fall, for the Lord upholds him with His hand." ~ Psalm 37: 23-24

"Wiat for the Lord and keep His way. He will exalt you to inherit the land..." ~ Psalm 37:34

Such are the promises of God and personally they really spoke straight into my heart. Hope you guys are blessed with these promises. Follow your heart's desires, making sure that you put God first, trusting Him and He will guide you. Do not be afraid to make he wrong decision becoz if it was wrong, he will not allow you to fall. So do life in faith and dream big.

Peace out,
Cheryl

CHRISTIANS n EXPECTATIONS

So here is a though...is it wrong to expect certain standards from christians? Lately this has been bugging me a bit.

We as a body of Christ are in ministry for one reason, to please God, loving Him and loving His people. Simple right! So you would think that we as a ministry would help each other out and build each other up to achieve a common purpose. But why do i get the vibe that i have to try so hard to try and break this tension? At first i thought i was being too sensitive. But i realised that it wasn't just me who felt this way.

Shouldn't we, as a ministry, work together to make each other feel comfortable around one another and support each other as best as we can, so as to bring this ministry to where God wants us to be? Shouldn't we, as a ministry, be able to easily chat with one another without being afraid of being judge by others and treated differently just because we are not 'one-of-your-type' that you'd normally hangout with?

Its sad to hear from people making comments like "why should i try to make an effort to make you feel welcome when you don't even try to make an effort yourself?" or "why should i try to make an effort to make you feel comfortable when you don't do the same when i'm feeling unwelcome?" Its just so immature and stupid. Gosh, when was it all about us?? It was never about us. In fact, the act of living was never about us.

That's just a errmmmm....thought. Maybe you guys might want to think about it and let me know how u feel coz i am starting to feel that maybe we as Christians are no different from the rest of the world. Maybe we shouldn't expect anything from anyone. Call me idealistic but i still want to believe that we as Christians are different.

SEMIs 'N' FINALs...

So we are into the second week of Wimbledon 2006 Championships. And yes...this young lady is into the semis facing compatriot Clijsters. May the best lady win. *DUH* Its got to be JHH. The match with Sharapova n Mauresmo would be an interesting one too...good stuff tonight.

I'm actually relief that there is no soccer tonight. Give me a break. Can sleep a little bit earlier tonight...yup i haven't had any sleep for the last 53hrs 42min 29sec. Quite amazing huh!! I know, i didn't know i was capable of doing this. Holidays mate, what do you expect! Once in a while i get to listen to Benny Hinn n Joyce Myer too...haahaa!

Anyway as for the World Cup...well, not very happy that Italy got through. But it almost seem deja vu...(australia vs japan match...scoring in the last 7min). France got through...would have liked portugal to get through...becoz of Figo...ten times Figo over Zidane come on man! I guess i'll have to cheer 4 Italy just becoz Australia was so close to winning Italy. So yeah!

Oooohhh...before i forget le Tour de France 2006 is also on. *sigh* no Lance Armstrong this time round. So if i have to pick someone...it has to be Robbie Mc Ewen. Go Aussie! Keep the green jersey dream alive!

All right...as you can read...i'm not veri enthusiastic abt blogging becoz i'm so tired. Stay tune though...more bias update from me with regards to Wimbledon. Heeheee...Peace out dudes n duttees.

FITTING IN OR NOT

Right after that prayer made...I kinda set myself down and started reading His Word. In my journal I wrote down a few things that i wanted answers and never thought that what i'll be mentioning was an issue that needs to be dealt with immediately. I didn't think it was important but i guess God did. He suprised me!

In summary this was what He said to me:

I know you want to be accepted by others, but you were not made to fit in. You, my princess, were created to stand out. Not to draw attention to yourself, but to live the kind of life that leads others to Me. Remember, it's your choices that will pave your path to life. I will not force you to do anything. I have given you a free will to walk with Me or to walk away from Me. I want you to know that you can put on your crown at any time and let people know that you belong to Me. You have a royal call on your life. I want you to remember tou wear the crown of everlasting life, and through you I will do abundantly more than you would ever dare to dream.

And this verse stood out - Galations 1:10
"Am I now trying to win the approval of men or of God? Or am I trying to please men? If i were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ."

HOW I LOVE YOU

Two more weeks before uni starts. Hmmm..so fast. So i think i better do something productive this last two weeks before my life gets busy again.

Dear God,

Here i stand my heart is still. Wanting just to be with you. Waiting here long for your voice to speak. Touch me now its your face i seek. How my soul longs for you, to be with you,adore you.

nothing more i want to do, than to sing to you. Jesus i'm in love with you. Speak to me, whisper you words of truth. Take my heart won't you make me new. Jesus, how i love you how i love you.

On my knees before you i lay my life. Giving all a living sacrifice. Take my life and all that i long to be. Set apart only for you my king. How my soul longs for you, to be with you, adore you. Nothing more i want to do, than to sing to you. Jesus im in love with you, speak to me whisper your words of truth. Take my heart won't you make me new. Jesus, how i love you how i love you. Amen.

I just realise something...neva mind. Maybe i'll leave it for the next entry. Peace out!

PAYING THE PRICE

Don't you just hate it when that happens! That...when you are so angry with God and just when you want to give up on life and say "Where the heck are you when i need you God?" he comes through for you. Well this year has been a lot of does moments for me where i just feel like giving up but He comes through for me, giving me a reason to continue running the race despite my lack of enthusiasm and increasing fatigue.

In the last few days, after receiving a call from Aunty Anna (not just a pastor's wife, but a princess warrior) i really had to think about what i'm going to do with myself after i graduate this year. Most of you who have been reading my blog would know that this has been an issue that i am trying to avoid right now...becoz there is just so many things to consider. So it has been mentally exhausting for me. And just this afternoon i kinda waved the white flag to God. But then this evening's message by Lynn reminded me of one thing: Are you willing to pay for what you want?

And i thought about what i want... I want so many things in life. I want to have the most intimate relationship with God. I want to lead a life that will impact and influence lives. I want to see miracles happening, blessings flowing through me to others. But the question is, am i ready to pay for what i want? That includes the simple things such as reading His word daily, watching what i listen, read and watch from the media etc. And honestly, i don't think i'm doing all i can. Maybe that is why i'm not seeing things happen yet.

Maybe you have to ask yourself: Are you willing to pay the price to get what you want?

SPORTZ FEVER 2

So i'm glad that Justine has easily gone pass Meng Yuan in the first, Bychkova in the second and Chakvetadze in the thrid. She faces Hantochova in the fourth, which should be an interesting match. Although, i personally think that Hantochova stands no chance. So yeah... Go Justine!

As for Soccer...since the soccerooz got booted out on tuesday i am thinking of cheering on for Germany. And what an exciting match it was between Germany and Argentina, pushing the match to a penalty shoot-out and the Germans were flawless with their penalties. Cool stuff! So i say Go Germany!!

And this is for the die-hard socceroo fans...here is a little treat for you. Really like these pictures. Heehee...well that is what one does when she is on a holiday and has heaps of time to look through the few hundred photos...and choose the best 3.

How cute is Cahill...man can't believe he is married. But he looks soooooo young!

And this is a bitter-sweet picture of the soccerooz thanking the fans. Oh my gosh, that wave from Aloisi was to me.....he is such a legend.

Lastly, a great picture of euphoria from the man of the match, Neil..despite giving Italy the pentalty kick. Neil, your a champion dude!
