Trust and Obey

In a split second, almost seemingly,
everything precious that you tried to keep together
comes apart before your eyes,
like a knitted sweater with a minor catch that causes the whole thing to unravel,
leaving you disarrayed.

Then,His faithful,almighty hand came to rescue,
acting as a buttress,helping to gain balance.
Struggling to stand still,
amid the tempestuous waves,
and realised,
The only palliative,
comes from Him alone.

Grateful for the graceful results.

Finishing Well

Day1- Pride ( King Saul)

Not everyone who starts well ends well.

Obedience to God is better than Service for Him.

Six Steps of Obedience:

1) I hear
2) I understand
3) I remember
4) I decide
5) I do
6) I persist in doing

Value r/s with God more than honour before people.

Deal ruthlessly with pride before it hardens the heart.

Day2- Keeping out focus ( Solomon)

It is when we're at the weakest that we ask for the right thing.
Keep the main thing the main thing and stick to it.
We are nothing.
Beware of the danger of acquiring many things.

Day3- Standing strong despite rejection (Samuel)

A tall tree without a strong trunk will fall at the slightest storm.
Resist temptation to judge and blame others.
Dont become like them.
Let it pass and move on.

Day4 - Doubt( John the Baptist)

Know our focus, our story does not end on this life.
What we dont know, we leave it to the Lord.
Vengeance is not ours but the Lord's.

Day5- Failure( Peter)

Look not where you fall but where you trip.
We are forgiven by our God, so accept forgiveness.
Return to the Lord.
Learn from failures.

Day6- Finishing Well (Paul)

The end of a matter is better than its beginning and patience is better than pride.
Life mission in mind.
Clear conscience
Build lasting friendships

End of course

Durian tree @ NIE

The Gift Of Friends
by Karin Schaefer

There are days when
bubbling from us comes
the innocent child within,
who giggles at the little things
and wears a silly grin.

There are days when
melancholy comes to
visit for a while;
the mind feels tired, the body weak;
we have no strength to smile.

There are days when
joy abundant
grabs a hold of you and me;
wraps us up in all it's splendor,
lifts us up and sets us free.

There are days when
sorrow wraps us
in its cloak of grief and fear,
'till our hearts ache to the breaking,
'till our eyes can't shed a tear.

There are days when
love bestows us
with its wonderment and light;
with its beauty and most of all the precious gift of friends.

The short span of 3 months was really life-changing.
The course enriched me with a spectrum of "eye-openers" academically,also manifested in interpersonal relations.
Everyday was simply too fruitful.One of the most conspicuous recall was the knowledge that durian trees exist in nie and people actually fight over durians.
Other than that,we've learnt where the "papa,and mamas"of resources stem from.
I'll certainly miss the food, and not to forget the avoirdupois gained after consuming them.

Thank You for sustaining me throughout the whole course,
and for friends that added life into my years.
It wasnt a bit easy.

We speak to nations

Hear the sound
The sound of the nations calling
Hear the sound
The sound of the fathers crying

Who will go for us
Who will shout to the corners
Of the earth
That Christ is King

CHORUS
We speak to nations
Be open
We speak to nations
Fall on your knees
We speak to nations
The kingdom is coming near to you
Oh we speak to strongholds
Be broken
Power of darkness
You have to flee
We speak to nations
The kingdom is coming near to you
We speak to you
Be free be free

Hear the sound
The sound of the nations worshipping
Hear the sound
Of sons and daughters singing
We will go for you
We will shout to the corners of the earth
That Christ is King
