Really thank God for a very good week... He has indeed blessed me with many good things for the past week... and I really thank Him for His help...
The sermons these weeks have been very encouraging... and I thank God for the sermon application times... I can see that God is starting to answer our prayers and He is working in His time and in His people...
I can see quite a few people picking up... and I continue to pray for our fellowship that we will grow together and please God more.
"Him we proclaim, warning everyone and teaching everyone with all wisdom, that(BU) we may present everyone(BV) mature in Christ." Colossians 1:28
Today's sermon again reminded us not to treat fellowship as a social gathering... It is a distinction from the social clubs of this world... And that distinction is God and the spiritual aspect of it...
Let us continue to teach, admonish, rebuke, and encourage one another with the motivation of love and with the intent of presenting everyone mature in Christ.
Let's continue to strive for the more important things in life... on our relationships with people and not merely focusing on our career, our studies, and etc. albeit its relative importance in this world.
Although the revival camp might be postponed... I hope that God will continue to answer our prayers for many individual revivals throughout our fellowship... :)
Have a great week ahead everyone... Let us strive to get that balance of spending time with God and with brothers and sisters in Christ. see you all on wednesday

"Like a lawyer, the human brain wants victory, not truth; and, like a lawyer, it is sometimes more admirable for skill than virtue." - Robert Wright, author and journalist
hmmm... i dunno what to make of this... comments anyone? hahs.. it sounds like a very sad statement to me...
"32Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." John 8:32

Thank you Lord for the short talk with Wei En...
My life is screwed up... Satan totally used my school work to get the better of me...
Alas, I haven't found the right balance still...
Going to go back to God...
Once again I strayed away from you Lord...
Please forgive me for such disobedience...
Pray for a more focused heart....

I am increasingly finding it difficult to understand myself.
I am currently involved in planning a Community Service Project in which we want to actually impart certain inter-personal skills. One of which is to let the beneficiaries know more about themselves.
How do you define knowing yourself? How much can you ever know? What defines you ? The things you do? The principles you have? Your looks? Your character? Your learning style? Your thinking style?
What? What constitutes you knowing yourself? Can we ever be fully known by ourselves? Do we know how we will react when certain situations arise?
I am getting more and more confused... and I do not have the luxury of time to ponder about it deeper...
Help me Lord...

Recently had been feeling quite down at school... sometimes feel quite dumb... very humbled... and feel very powerless... and useless... don't feel the kinda confidence that I had back in JC period...
This quote was quite a good encouragement... Ailing printed it for me... it was mentioned in the movie " Aquilla and the Bee"
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?
Actually... who are you not to be?
We were born to manifest the glory of God that is within us.
And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to
do the same. " Quoted from Marianne Williamson

I hope that I am able to blog about my QT at least twice per week...(gone down from thrice) haha...
"Spiritual Myopia" Myopia is not that we cannot see at all, it's just that we are able to receive information through our eyes, but unable to find the right focus.
Similarly, we tend to lose focus easily... especially when we focus on our problems and issues and so on... It's easy to identify issues in your personal walk, in your relationships, in your fellowship, in your family and so on... but it's not easy to maintain the focus that God provides and He is the God Almighty, El Shaddai.
"Don't be afraid," the prophet answered. "Those who are with us are more than those who are with them." 2 Kings 6:16
Elisha reminded his servant to be able to have the right focus... His servant could only focus on the enemies... (6:15) but Elisha prayed to God to open his eyes to the horses and chariots of fire who were sent by God to protect them...
What is within us, is greater than what is outside of us...
We do not say, "God, I have a big problem," but rather we say, "Problem, I have a big God." That's quite a cliche saying, but it's a timely reminder for me.
Yes, there are many issues in life, but God will provide and He will guide. His plans for us are the best, and I pray to Him to continue to give us this focus to go back to Him...
Take care, my brothers and sisters...
