goodbye bed, goodbye fridge, goodbye toilet, goodbye computer, goodbye my sofa and tv, goodbye my squeaky fan, goodbye my walls, goodbye my closet, goodbye my lovely table and room. goodbye house. GOODBYE.
ay.. last few hours before i'm ship off to my hostel! infact.. just 4 more hrs.. it's like 2.47am now.. just done packin and there's the motherload to bring over.. haha.. haven't even packed in my "wang-wang" biscuit and my canister.. and water bottle. gosh. ay.. left my huge bag at the hostel and forgot to take it back.. ayyaya. oh.. gonna miss my home oh so much. gonna miss the keyboard that i'm typing on.. and the floor my toes are on.. haha.. ay. will go roll on the floor later.. man. u guys have no idea.. miss my home already. so.. STOP TAKING YR HOUSES FOR GRANTED.
was reading angie aka bazhang's blog in the day.. and am so encouraged. she's really like.. definitely a Joshua. how she'll meditate on a verse thro the day or thro the week and so on and so forth.. how she really just put the Lord FIRST in EVERYTHING.. and i do mean, everything. angie, thank God for placing u in my life.. definitely.
was meditating on this verse thro' the day.. Romans 5:3-5 "Not only so, but we rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us."
just felt so happy.. so blessed. can't explain it.. how having hope in the Lord will not disappoint us... and to rejoice in our sufferings. everything has been going oh so smooth.. since last week.. and just so thankful for everything. received an sms from my cell member asking bout my day.. and another on msn too.. so blessed. so very blessed. all i can say.. is that God will NEVER shortchange us.. never.
i've come this far.. and i say that the above verses has been so very true in my life. so humbled by everything.. and feel so filled once more. God is good. yes, He is. note: it's not in past tense. because he will always be so, good.
goonna go off and be abandoned to Him now.
-smile, God loves you-
Please don't bluff.
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose. -Romans 8:28

HALLELUJAH!!!!!! just wanted to let the world know that.. MY MOTHER RECEIVED CHRIST on sunday!! so happy like the great grandmother load of mothers! found that out only yesterday morning while i was packin my stuff to go to the hostel...and i chanced upon two books for new converts.. then i remembered on sunday she attended this play at the Victory Family Centre opp my house.. amazed. really.. just so amazed that the Lord just did it. amen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so happy so happy.. so now.. i'm keepin my dad in prayer.. just thank God that my parents are pretty open about religion and stuff.. so.. ya.. must help my mum in getting started.. grin.
attended NUS cell last nite.. learnt the difference between persistence and perseverance. Luke 11.. changed my attitude towards prayer.. after so long u noe.. realized how to pray. and chun lek sharing with us his testimony.. so encouraging i tell u. and it's so true.. we really have gotta start praying.. i mean, speedlight lacks prayer.. and very glad that we're getting down to it.. gonna rally my cell on and gather to pray..
it's so true.. if u don't even have a prayer life with God.. how can u possibly get together and pray corporately? so.. well.. ay. food of thought.

anyhow.. tis week.. very eventful!! lectures.. classes.. hostel.. mummy.. family day.. holy ghost meeting.. MS.. cell.. can't wait to see them.. life.. cousins.. sister.. and the list goes on! so much to do.. and not forgetting... to pray.
i'll leave u with this verse.. "Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance;perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us." Romans 5:3-5

-For those out there: i'm fine. going by God's grace and will do my best in readin up those forsaken physics notes! ha. no worries.
a friend said tis to me.. "so long if u've resolved it within yourself.. then go for it. don't go into something that u'll be bitter about and as time goes by.. the regret will just keep adding up. make the best most possible choice at that time and TRUST God". haha.. amen!
other than that.. my life.. seems to be picking up. thank God. cell is going so well.. inviting emily for this week's outreach.. i pray that sunday will be THE day for her. it's gonna be her 2nd time or is it.. 3rd time in church.. *fingers crossed* and must pray.

"... but He wants you to recognize the disposition you were showing- the disposition of your right to yourself. The moment you are willing that God should alter your disposition, His re-creating forces will begin to work. The moment you realize God's purpose, which is to get you rightly related to Himself and then to yur fellow men, He will tax the last limit of the universe to help you take the right road."- Oswald Chambers
