Today's devotion in school was encouraging.
It talks about nice problems. Sounds like an
oxymoron huh.
To many of us, problems are definitely not what we
define as nice. In fact, problems wear you down and
discourage you. So why nice problems?
It is the way you view problems. It is your perspective, your
point of view. One of the examples mentioned by the
teacher was homework. Students dread having homework.
However, we can view homework in another perspective.
Having homework means having an education.
How fortunate we are as compared to children in poorer
countries. We have the opportunity to be educated.
It is by God's grace.(:
Very often, we whine and groan when we face
problems. Thus, we fail to see how fortunate we are.
We fail to see what God has done and provided for us.
Take a min to think about the problems you have now.
How can you change your perspective?
Remember that it is by God's grace to live
so comfortably.(:
So start counting God's blessings instead of frowning upon
them unknowingly!
I read from a book which talks about spiritual dryness.
We do not experience spiritual dryness for nothing.
It is God's way of teaching us to persevere in the walk
with Him and to have faith. Through this period
of dryness, one would grow more spiritually mature with
perseverance.
So if you happen to experience dryness of any kinds, do not
despair! Cus God is always with you, bring you through this
tough time!
He who brings you to it will pull you through it!(:
All we need to do is to follow God faithfully.
When He brings out His own sheep, He goes before them;
and the sheep follow him.--- John 10:4
He knows the way to green pasture and good water; all
we have to do is to follow--- ODB, 21 Oct.
hmmm i kinda side tracked from nice problems huh.:P
I have this sudden urge to share about perseverance!!
I can feel that God is telling me to persevere!:D
Gonna persevere as i journey with our Father(:

It's been awhile since i last post! Gonna share about last sunday!
We had a celebration for Yanhui's birthday at the esplanade.
Before that, we went to catch "The Sister's keeper".
Even though it's not as good as the book, i think the movie
is worth watching!! It's a touching show and will move you
to tears! Most probably gonna borrow that book form
yh!:P
But only after i finish the 4 books i have with me now!:p
hahaha!
Recently i've been having amazing moments.
i feel that God has been teaching about the right attitude
towards serving and what does it really means to grow deep
in Christ.
The sermons, Bible study, sunday school have definitely
humbled me.
I was struck by the realisation that i have never
comprehend what does serving mean and
what exactly is the right attitude.Furthermore, having embraced
God's love, yet i fail to show love to all the
people around me. Sometimes, i even fall into the danger
of having unhealthy thoughts. So, i'm so thankful
that God has spoke through so many people!
Really grateful for each opportunity to serve and i pray that
my actions and thoughts will be pleasing to our Father!:D

WEDNESDAY!!
Went back to school in the morning for meetings
and jq told me its 14 days to OP, 12 days to WR submission
and 4 more days to I&R submission! I can feel the the increase in
stress level!
ANYWAY we're going to bake at Jo's house!!!:D
OREO CHEESECAKE!:D:D
Then off to David's place!
the initially plan was to go jogging but it was changed to
teaching me tennis!:D
i was feeling excited about it though i guess my face failed
to show it huh. :O
Was learning the basic UNTIL it started drizzling:(
It was only FIFTEEN minutes!:(
BUT ANYWAY, we had maggie for lunch!
It was delicious and most probably because
of the fact that 3 of us were hungry.
Just realised we should have taken a photo
of the big pot of maggie!:O
No maggie photo but there's this photo:
Looks like a kid!:D
Gonna do my reading now!:D
Byebye!:D

500 days of summer is not that bad i guess BUT the
ending is corny. Went to catch that movie with David
and we got hk a table tennis bat! Too bad i cant get to
see his expression. HAHA! After that, we went back to
BB and tuition-ed Rena and Nicholas! They are ADORABLE!
Sent them back and saw Farica in pyjamas! So CUTE!:D
After so many days of suspension, it was a great relief
to hear your decision! Peanut butter with jam tmr!:D
I feel like talking about today's ODB entry. Indeed God has not
promised to keep us from life's storms, but He will keep us through
them (ODB)! When the situation seems stark, very often we
fail to be thankful. Maybe we should be thanking God
for giving us the strength as we persevere, thanking Him
for the lessons He has planned to impart to us.
A quote form ODB
"Giving thanks in difficult circumstances is a small detail that
makes a difference". I find it really true as this is when we
will truly grow spiritually!:D

I'm blogging again! hopefully i'll be posting diligently!
after reading so many people's blogs, i have the urge to blog again.
However posts will be different from before.
Leaving behind the past and embarking on a new journey with God as the focus(:
today's sermon was thought-provoking for me. Uncle Peter's few questions
really struck me thinking and i guess that will be something for me to reflect
upon this week. Am i really ready to obey God without hesitation and really rely
on Him? AND ppl! SELECTIVE HEARING is bad for health!:D
SWIMMING!! went swimming with yanhui!:D
It was so cold and the pool is so crowded. Well, at least we
get to swim so thank God!(:
