Then i went recording for sum stuffs.Recording was quite fun la..nervous though but still got thru it smoothly thank God,then zhong xian went to fetch li yi cos li yi was there..den actually say wanna send me to nearest mrt de..but in the end,they say if nv jam den send me home.but it jammed n they still send me home..cos for awhile i recognise the roads that wasnt gonna go to any station so i checked with them where was the road leading to n li yi said ohh..we bring u go sell .haaa feel so bad..they tmr still need to work leh..n they stay so far from me.

eagle..

today's another beautiful day that God hath made.I sat by the window to do my Qt...shortly after my prayer i saw an eagle..soaring..it was a beautiful sight.We all know that eagles are known to be manificant birds that are known for its high abilities to catch its prey so accurately and to soar so high in the sky..it's like the"king"of all birds.In the bible it says,
"Even youths grow tired and weary,and young men stumble and fall;but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.They will soar on wings like eagles;they will walk and not be faint.Isaiah 40:30-31"

God promises us that those who hope in him will renew their strength and soar like eagles..it's such a precious promise to bring us thru gd and bad times.We must constantly remind ourselves to hope in the Lord in every area of our lives even in gd times.

Too often we only lift up our worries when we feel that we can't handle it anymore,but God is actually soverign over every single thing that we do or face everyday.Even the ability to wake up alive in the morning.Unless God intervenes in every part of our life and blesses us,every single thing we do with our own abilities would be in vain.

"Consider what God has done:who can straighten what he has made crooked?When times are good,be happy;but when times are bad,consider:God has made the one as well as the other.Therefore a man cannot discover anything about his future.Ecclesiates 7:13-14"

Let us learn to count every single blessing big or small=) HAve a great week ahead=)

news...

Just read somewhere...
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - The Rev. Ted Haggard was dismissed Saturday as leader of the megachurch he founded after a board determined the influential evangelist had committed "sexually immoral conduct," the church said Saturday.
Rev. Ted Haggard said Friday he bought drugs and received a massage from a male prostitute but denied having sex with him.
The prostitue exclaimed:"It made me angry that here's someone preaching about gay marriage and going behind the scenes having gay sex." so sad after i read this....the rev had a family and wife...but what insecurity in this marriage had made him go look for another guy?aiyo......

Another day of grace..

Yest was my last assignment submission for this yr,yeah after my exams then i finish yr 2 le.haa.so fast.I woke up quite late cos was chatting with my sis as usual b4 we went to bed..and woke up at 11plus.Then i took a break today and simply just rest,sleep,chat,surf ard,and read up purpose driven life again and purpose driven youth ministry haa.why all purpose driven?cos without a God there won't be purpose for living and without purpose for living,life will be meaningless,without this meaning,there won't be hope or any significance in whatever you do.And with a clear purpose,your mind is set to do things that are purposeful,cos u're focused.
I'm half way thru the purpose driven youth ministry le,those who wanna borrow i can leave at the glowing library after i finish reading haa.=) My sista is not back from her party yet!haa her first time going to pub i think,besides those who knew about her alleybar incident(of jus walking in n telling the waiter b4 he asked that she was looking for a fren,n then exited the plc)haaaa i hope they enjoyed themselves hee.Today is another day of grace,a history formed from yest,a day closer to eternity.Jiayou ah those A'level students!!!!last lap!!

Obedience

Read a book these few days entitled"A prayer that moves heavens" by Ron Mehl

It talks about King Jehoshaphat in the old testimony,who has to face a sudden invasion upon Jerusalem,without any warning,no defense and no plan,and how he seeked God despite these sudden invasion.It also teaches us how to pray in obedience when the storms roar in from out of nowhere.

There's a phrase inside that says: You can build an ark,but only God can bring the great flood.
You can march around the walls of Jericho,but only God can bring them down.You can have people sit in groups of fifty,but only God can feed five thousand from a tiny sack lunch.You can take steps of obedience in your marriage,but only God can bring the restoration and blessings.

It's really true,often we grab alot of things very tightly eg.Our family,our studies,our health,our career,our interest,our relationships,our wealth,that we forgot that actually everything that we have all belonged to God and he could take it away anytime he wants to.Imagine if one day,God were to take all these away from you like you suddenly get a kind of illness that doctors cant cure,or take the person you love away from you,or worse,take everything away from you and you're left with nothing in the world,can you still go back to church and worship or serve him?Too often we answer "we can"too quickly like Peter,But when things happen how ready are we?To still have that act of obedience and trust Him to bring us thru...it's really not easy,the young or the old have to learn...no one can escape ...
The young have their studies ,etc to worry,the working people have their own worries,the old retired people have their stress too,the singles have their own troubles,insecurity,the married have their worries too,eg.will my spouse leave me from illness,or will my child be healthy or abnormal?Alot of uncertainties,and we cant always wait for these uncertainties to happen before we go back and seek the Lord.We must always be on guard and alert,to prepare ourselves for deep crisis.We can't know in advance what a day will bring,but we can live with the assurance that God does.we've gotta constantly reflect and remind ourselves...that God is solely the one we're living for,if all other things r taken away,we still didnt lose that purpose.What is the one thing or things that we are grabbing tightly now which is not our sole purpose for living???
