Welcome to my new bLog!

haha... actually, i don't like to write blogs. i've always resisted the idea of having one. It's so super duper sian to keep typing everything on a computer. haha. and i don't really like computers too. But i've come to a realisation that in this modern era, the youths of today are increasingly using the internet as a tool to communicate or perhaps as something to 'kill time'. Thus, i concluded that blogs are a good avenue to share our lives with others. and so, i decided to start one. haha.

Perhaps another reason why i wasn't into the idea of writing blogs is cos i don't want everyone to know everything about me. Even people whom i consider my closest closest friends don't know everything about me. That's because ever since primary school days, i've been choosing to hide my real self. I chose to do that because of somethings that happened and it made it hard for me to trust people. But these past 2 years, God has been revealing the past hurts in my life and has been healing me from them all. =) And that is why i now have the courage to share my life with others. I believe that as I share, the Holy Spirit will use me to encourage the people who read my blog too! haha.

Anyway, if u're wondering since when was my name 'isabelle', i shall share with u now. haha. When i was very young, in kindergarden times, my mom gave me the name 'isabelle'. She chose the name because of the character 'Belle' in beauty and the beast. I used to like reading books when i was young, just like her, so my mother decided to put part of her name in my Christian name. But i always felt weird to ask people to call me by my Christian name. haha. Only my piano teacher called me by that name man. haha. It was only when I was in JC1 when The Lord restored my relationship with my parents did i start to learn to embrace my Christian name. Also, i found out that the meaning of the name "Isabelle" is "consecrated unto God"! So cool rite. Consecration = obedience to God. wow. and i want to live that out. i want to be an obedient child of God who chooses to walk in His ways all the days of my life. *grinz*
