just an update

I finished 2 books out of the three =)
The third one hasn't arrive yet..I thought it would have arrived last Monday
but somehow......no news from the shop.

Yesterday, got another 7 books out of the uni library, preparing for the assignment on challenges of inclusive education...I finished this book in a few hours, it's called "Retarded isn't stupid, Mom!" Laugh and cried with the author when I was reading it...if anyone is interested in this area, it's a good book!

Anyways,
juz thought of sharing...
For the past week or so, we are meditating on the book of Ruth.
When I read it, I admire Ruth's faith towards God and submissive towards her mother-in-law. She is an amazing lady, she went and lie under the feet of Boaz after listening to her mother-in-law. But I think God was in this, or else, nothing would have startled Boaz to wake up and find a lady under her feet. He would have slept through the night, and Ruth's name would be ruined, and probably be killed at that time to be found with a man.
And the story of Ruth went to lie at Boaz's feet is similar to Adam's and Eve's story too...where God lead the woman to the man, and then God starts to dwell in both of the man that He intended them to be together. I am thinking, God probably does like matchmaking a lot =P

After reading this, I'm sure God will bring me to my "Jacob" just like what He did to Ruth and Eve...or probably 'he' will come to me.. lol

Tomorrow and the whole next week, I will be reading the remaining 6 books T_T
It was supposed to be a holiday (Queen's birthday).....sigh

God is so good!

Tonite, after prayer meeting. Got a text from Mindy asking if I can play for her at next Wednesday's prayer meeting coz she will be outstationed.
I was a bit reluctant, coz have an assignment to hand in on Sunday, and it's about designing an advertisement on how to promote a childcare centre, esp. with the topics of quality environments....anyways, I said 'yes' because I'm missing the serving life even though I only haven't been playing for 2 weeks, and I miss playing the piano. Then, I texted her back and tell her she has to pray for me to have thoughts coming in for the advert. assignment.

After that, I went and check my email, and got a mail from the lecturer saying that it's postponed to next Wednesday!!!!!!!!!!!! Coz she has totally forgotten about that assignment, and she has been away. I'm like.........whoa!!!!!!! Praise God!!!!!!!!!!!

Like what I've written last year in March after an incident in prayer meeting (in my diary), when we are with God, we're like in a big theme park of God, we get adrenalin pumps and excitement and everything; we don't know what next step will be, and where we will be, but then, we will landed safe in the hands of God. He's just amazing~~~

I'm just fascinated by Him!
and thoroughly in love with Him!!!!!!!!

Need to be alert

It's funny how sometimes
when we handed in everything to God
we'll be tempted straightaway!

And how the spiritual warfare is so real and is happening
just around you and your friends every minute and every second.

Be alert people!
no matter what the world says,
it is what God said that is powerful.
When everything seems to be going down the wrong path,
remember these verse:
For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD,
"plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. (Jeremiah 29:11)

Even we are faithless
God is faithful

The road of faith (2)

I realised,
the road of faith is really difficult to walk
if my eyes are not on Him
but on this earthly things
I will fall.
And it doesn't mean that after listening to a sermon
I will suddenly become a person with a lot of faith.

He is a good God
during my meditation time this morning
He gave me the verses in Psalms 81:1-4

Sing for joy to God our strength;
Shout aloud to the God of Jacob!
Begin the music, strike the tambourine, play the melodious harp and lyre.
Sound the horn at the New Moon, and when the moon is full, on the day of our Feast;
this is a decree for Israel, an ordinance of the God of Jacob. (Psalms 81:1-4)

I find this hard
but God said that's a decree and an ordinance
even during the hard times.
Then He reminded me of King Jehosaphat (2 Chronicles 20)
who seek the will of God
and set up the worship team back then
to sing and praise God
during the fighting of God's army and the army of Moabites, Ammonites and some Meunites.
When they sing and praise, the God set ambushes against the enemy.

Teach me Father, to praise You
and to trust You
All the time!
Because of who You are.
In Jesus' name,
Amen!
