Today can be rated as 8/10 =) it was quite fun. Yesterday, I went to the library with Fazlina. I borrowed this Child's story bible. Because the bible is too hard to be understood, well not really. But I think I will understand God better with the story bible :D ok, so I was almost late today for school, I read my bible. Adam and Eve actually betrayed God because of Satan. Haiiz, what if they didn't sin? hmmmm, maybe we will live forever. But nevermind, as long as God is there and I know he is ^^. So , went back to class, and actually went to tech hub 2 (: went back to class , played with handphone, and helped mrs lim did some things :D went for recess, nuggets. went back class, played with phone again, fire drill exercise =) oh yeah, saw taek hyeong, he look more mature and umm, good looking now!

Here's a little something from the child's story bible yeah =)

Adam and Eve disobey God

Adam and Eve were happier than anyone else has ever been in the whole wide world. Why were they happier? They were happier because they were good. They loved God, and they loved each other, and they never wanted to do anything wrong.
There is something in my heart, and in yours, that makes us want to do wrong, because we have bad, sinful hearts. But when God made Adam and Eve, he gave them hearts that wanted to be good.
They were never sick. They were never tired. When God made them, He gave them bodies that were always perfectly healthy and well. They never had to work hard, as we do now. All they have to do was to take care of the beautiful garden.
God also promised them a wonderful gift. He promised that if they obeyed his command not to eat of the fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, they would never die.
God made the first man and the first woman perfectly good, and perfectly strong and healthy. But think how much wickedness there is now in the world, and how much pain and suffering there is, and, worst of all, death! How did this sad change come about?
The wicked devil was once and angel in heaven. But he did not stay good and pure, as the other angels are. He became wicked, and God put him out of heaven as a punishment for his wickedness. The devil, being very wicked, hated God, and tried to fight against Him.
When he saw the beautiful new word that God had made, and Adam and Eve happy because they loved God, the devil wanted to spoil God's beautiful world, and make Adam and Eve wicked like himself. He knew that if Adam and Eve disobeyed God, they could not live in the beautiful garden, and walk and talk with God. Satan wanted man and the woman to be as unhappy as he was himself.
So the devil disguised himself as a snake. The snake was the cleverest of all animals God had made. Satan, hiding hgimself in the snake, came and talk to Eve.
"Did God really say you must not eat the fruits of any tree in the garden?" he asked
Eve answered, "No, we may eat all the fruits in the garden, except for the fruit of Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. God says if we eat the fruit of that tree, or touch it, we shall surely die."
Then the devil in the snake's body told Eve a wicked lie. He said, "You shall not surely die. God knows that the day that you eat the fruit of that tree you eyes shall be opened, and you shall be like God, knowing good and evil."
Would Eve believe Satan, or would she believe God? This was a test of whether she really loved and trusted God.
Eve went and looked at the tree. It was a beautiful tree. She thought the fruit would tast very good. She would like to be as wise as God, knowing both good and evil. She knew God had commanded them not to eat the fruit, or even to touch it. Butshe disobeyed God. She picked some of the fruit and ate it. She gave some of it to Adam. He disobeyed God too, and ate the fruit.
Now a horrible change came. No longer did the man and woman want to be good. No longer did they love God and want to please Him! No longer did they love each other! Now they had angry and selfish feelings in their hearts. They began to do wicked things.
It was indeed true the fruit of the tree would make them wise to know evil as well as good. Before this they knew only what it was to have good thoughts, and to do good things. Now at once they knew what it was to have wicked thoughts, and to do wicked things.
Now that they had eaten the forbidden fruit, they began to be ashamed that they were naked. Before this they had never thought of being ashamed. They took fig leaves and fastened them together. In this way they made themselves clothes so that they would not be naked.
