I thank god for a wonderful event today. Everybody kinda of enjoys themselves at the lunch and they got into the frenzy mood today that they kept taking photos. It is good that everyone tries to mingle with each other.
I keep thanking god that i have such wonderful collegues and i realise they are a whole lot bunch of fun people to hang out with. we are able to have the same interest on off days and most important we can hang out on off days.Thank god for such wonderful gift.
It was a hectic day. We have fun exchanging our clothes and after that i went out and meet hoon and the rest of them . have fun listening to weiling's story. Well i reallie appreciate my every enounter i have with my friends in my life.
Back home after all the adrenaline rush, I can finally pause and reflect for the day. I like it,i like medidating on the word. I miss having some quiet time with the lord and i cannot wait to talk to him about my life.Lord i pray that you will continue to bless me with a wonderful life which is fulfillinf and happy and healthy

The requirements of waiting
The Requirements of Waiting
Psalm 27:1-14
Waiting on the Lord is a basic principle in the Christian life. The problem is that doing so runs counter to our human nature. We want to take action and grasp what we desire, but the Spirit says to sit still before God and receive from Him. To counter what “self” tells us, God’s Spirit will help us grow in four areas.
Faith. On his own, man can make little sense of the command to pause before the Lord. Human logic says, “Surely God expects us
to reason things out;” however, only when we regard life from a faith perspective will the benefits of stillness become clear. During times of uncertainty or great stress, we find comfort as we are quiet in His presence. The more we develop a strong belief system, the better we will become at practicing this discipline.
Humility. To counter our natural inclinations, we must be convinced that we need God and that we cannot live without His guidance. Only then are we willing to submit our lives and ourselves to His way and His timing.
Patience. This characteristic is essential if we are to remain in our present situation and refrain from taking action until God directs us otherwise.
Courage. When people second-guess our motives or pressure us to make a decision, godly courage is required. Through our practice of quiet dependence on the Lord, we will be able to stand firm.
Waiting on the Lord is not a waste of time; it is a declaration that God is in charge. Furthermore, it demonstrates a significant investment in kingdom work. Why not invest your time in this wise way?

SO important to uplift you
You have not been feeling too well lately,you told me about your low spirits and it just came to me that i rather have you feeling confident and high about yourself. When you feel like eveything is possible and there is nothing much to worry.whatever is able to handle.
I will cheer u up when you are down .No doubts about that. I am worried for you .I feel really happy when you are in high spiritts and suddenly,i told myself that i ahve to be upbeat in order to bring joy to you.
I will pray for you as i want to submit all these to the lord. I know the lord will bring my husband to greater height and allow him to submit to him.
It is so important to be quiet and restful. The external circumstances will be harsh but we must learn how to maintain an inner peace which will not be swayed by anything. tough work but we can start practising him.
In my heart, you are a very talented guy, good social skills and very well like and respected by everyone. No use trying to get into good books coz u can naturally do that. You need to break that barrier of low self confidence and also your low self image. You are made in the image of god and god will not allow his children to feel low about them.
I will pray very hard for you. i hope i can be a solace and comfort to you whenever you have any problems,build a house where you can rest and relax in
Listening Hard for God
"Where there is no vision, the people perish" (Prov. 19:18).Waiting upon God is necessary in order to see Him, to have a vision of Him. The time element in vision is essential. Our hearts are like a sensitive photographer's plate; and in order to have God revealed there, we must sit at His feet a long time. The troubled surface of a lake will not reflect an object.
Our lives must be quiet and restful if we would see God. There is power in the sight of some things to affect one's life. A quiet sunset will bring peace to a troubled heart. Thus the vision of God always transforms human life.Jacob saw God at Jabbok's ford, and became Israel. The vision of God transformed Gideon from a coward into a valiant soldier. The vision of Christ changed Thomas from a doubting follower into a loyal, devout disciple.
But men have had visions of God since Bible times. William Carey saw God, and left his shoemaker's bench and went to India. David Livingstone saw God, and left all to follow Him through the jungles of dark Africa. Scores and hundreds have had visions of God, and are today in the uttermost parts of the earth working for the speedy evangelization of the heathen. --Dr. PardingtonThere is hardly ever a complete silence in the soul. God is whispering to us well-nigh incessantly. Whenever the sounds of the world die out in the soul, or sink low, then we hear the whisperings of God. He is always whispering to us, only we do not hear, because of the noise, hurry, and distraction which life causes as it rushes on. --F. W. Faber
"Speak, Lord, in the stillness,While I wait on Thee;Hushed my heart to listenIn expectancy."Speak, O blessed Master,In this quiet hour;Let me see Thy face, Lord,Feet Thy touch of power.
"For the words Thou speakest,'They are life,' indeed;Living bread from Heaven,Now my spirit feed!"Speak, Thy servant heareth!Be not silent, Lord;Waits my soul upon TheeFor the quickening word!"
I will cheer u up when you are down .No doubts about that. I am worried for you .I feel really happy when you are in high spiritts and suddenly,i told myself that i ahve to be upbeat in order to bring joy to you.
I will pray for you as i want to submit all these to the lord. I know the lord will bring my husband to greater height and allow him to submit to him.

so many praises
praise the lord that frances got a new job at the top banks.god is so faithful to those who are righteousness.i feel so happy for her. that will eb a good testimony to share.
another thing to give thanks to the lord is that he hooked me up with a fantastic photographer-Nickgoh who is so sincere and patient in his services. He is so genuine and professional in his consultation.He is like a fren who offers me lots of advice even though this will be the first time we are meeting. I thank god for that.
I just spend my last three hour in the word...looking through some bible study notes which i got from the net that touches on JOB:How to suffer....awesome book of teaching which depicts that god never abandons one in the midst of suffering and that suffering is not necessarily due to personal sin of one suffering.i always feel so good when i spend some quiet time with him. sometimes i really wish i can indulge my whole day worshipping him....studying his word
lately,i hv been caught up with too many earthly worries and desires which has robbed my time away from him........is reallie hard when your schedule is rush and tight and somehow it seemed so difficult to squeezze some time for the word..because by the time you finish everything, you are usually tired...:P
anyway....just feel that is good to pause for a while and take a break....schdeule your tasks and timeline and of course keeping a check list that you always have the time for the word....That is very important.
I just made a prayer list(like carolyn) in order to make my prayers focus and not to miss out praying for anyone i love and care:
Monday:Ronald
Tuesday:Dad
Wednesday:Dallas
Thursday:Ronald'sDad and Mum
Friday:Ronald's sisters
Saturday:Extended Family
Sunday :Friends
I know god i have always so many desires and worries but i know lord...you said that we should cast all our cares upon you and not worry about tommorow. Ask and you shall receive. Recently, my heart is burning with these desires...i thought of pening them down:
-job in shichida;my calling in teacching
-missionary trip -3 weeks at the end of this year
-my rom
-my perfect wedding
-my classes
-my future studies
-my children's ministry:teaching in sunday's schools
They keep ringing in my head.
Sometimes i feel there are so many thoughts going through my head a day. I need to be less nervous the several tasks i need to to handle. i think i shall be firm on fixing a day for exercising....definitely good for the emotional and physical health.Many a times you will feel abit roller coaster in your emotion.Inevitable.....sometimes i wonder how come i hv so much energgy at work...in classes...and when comes back home i am dead like a pig...dun wish to think dun wish to do anything...
i thank god that he may have given me what he wants me to do but i will continue to pray for his gifts to be bestowed upon me..
my life each day lives with the principal of doing my very best of what is being assigned to me,be happy and positive and that is why i think time seemed to pass rather easily and yet quckly but yet there are times when my inner soul yearns for spiritual food and i begin to reflect..that's when human desires start to come in..you begin to start to feel discontented and yearn for more.Begin to ask " Why don't I,what if,maybe i can do these...?"Suddenly all the peace break out and i feel like just not reflecting...
I love to write ,i realise ,i love arts and music but yet i am not the very extreme kind...
I do not really know what this entry is about
just some random array of thoughts.....
i prayy that god will guide me to his will in my life
