the weekend is finally here! =)its quite amazing how weekends pass so very fast but weekdays pass so so slowly when you are in school. this week we only had three days of school but it seemed like one full week. and the two days of Cny hoildays seem kind of distant although it was only three days ago.
but still, I have many things to thank God for this week =) And the greatest of these is Love =) 3:54 PM

One thing that I have gained this week....EYEBAGS =(
haha on a more serious note, school has been really tough although its only the first week..Every day in school seems so long and tiring ,and its really a struggle to spend more time with God amidst my busy schedule.
But God has been really faithful, speaking to me through several Bible verses that were a great source of encouragement. =) and I know that all I need to do is to commit everything to Him, do my best and He will do the rest.
Psalm 46: 10
"Be still, and know that I am God. " And the greatest of these is Love =) 3:41 PM

I guess this is the year that I am the most unprepared for school..usually before school starts I will buy new shoes, new bag, new file etc etc, but this time round I didn bother to buy anything. Shows just how excited I am for school right? haha.Not to mention the pile of hw left undone. but oh well, I will try my best to do as much as I can. =)
Enough about school. My prayer for this week would be that I will put God first no matter how busy I am, and to constantly rmb that worship is a lifestyle, and worship is not just confined within church or during quiet time or even cell. I want to worship God no matter where I am.
And on top of this,
I want the water to spill out from my sponge... And the greatest of these is Love =) 3:43 PM

God is good, all the time! =)I think last year's November/December holidays were the best I ever had.Although there were tons of homework, it was just such a fruitful time, what with youth camp, mission trip, and many outings with frens.
And I am glad I am spending more time on God's word! Indeed, it is the Living Word..It's quite amazing how you are just reading and reading, and suddenly a verse or two just jumps out at you, and you just know that God is speaking directly to you. I remembered in the past when I read the Bible, it was purely an everyday routine. Nothing much got into my head at all, cause my mind was more on the homework and tests that I had to study for. But I pray that will never be the case again, no matter how busy I am.
And although I am not exactly excited about school starting again, with alevels and all, I believe that God would never put us in a place where we can't cope. He has His reasons for putting us right where we are, and although we may not understand what God is doing in our lives, all we need to do is to trust in Him. Agree? =)
All to Jesus I surrender~ And the greatest of these is Love =) 1:36 PM

the start of a brand new year...1 Corinthians 15:58
"Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain."
hmmm, thank goodness school starts on 12th jan and not tmr..otherwise I think I will be feeling really moody today haha. ytd's watchnight servive was really good,and I am so glad that I went. I actually had a headache in the afternoon, and I wouldn have gone if Evelyn had not asked me to bring some stuff for her..so thank God! =)
we watched this "end of spear" documentary about five missionaries who lost their lives tragically,and what really spoke to me was when one of the missionary's son asked his dad "would you use your gun if they attacked?" His father actually replied
"They are not ready for heaven. We are."
just seven simple words, but they seem so thought-provoking...
Overall, it was a truly inspiring story, and I am going to try to get my hands on the book =)
oh, and happy new year everyone!!
The Prayer
I pray you'll be our eyes,
and watch us where we go.
And help us to be wise
in times when we don't know.
Let this be our prayer,
when we lose our way.
Lead us to a place,
guide us with your grace,
To a place where we'll be safe.
And the greatest of these is Love =) 10:49 AM
