Questions and Answers

I was having so many questions today..but then i read the psalms 37..n I was greatly comforted..esp by the first few verses. I didnt even plan on reading Psalm 37.. I came across it, while cross-referencing from another verse. so I really wan to thank God for speaking to me through e bible again n for answering my questions so directly!

Psalm 37
1 Do not fret because of evil men or be envious of those who do wrong;
2 for like the grass they will soon wither, like green plants they will soon die away.
3 Trust in the LORD and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.
4 Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart.
5 Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will do this:
6 He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn, the justice of your cause like the
noonday sun.
7 Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him; do not fret when men succeed in their
ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes.
8 Refrain from anger and turn from wrath; do not fret—it leads only to evil.
9 For evil men will be cut off, but those who hope in the LORD will inherit the land.

I jus went for Global Leadership summit!! n it answered so many of my questions on my future job. I have decided that I really wan to do sth tt im passionate abt.. sth that is my strength..sth that will be able to make a difference in the lives of other people.. n nt have money as my main motivation. n i wan to be able to direct my career according to God's call..I really wan to answer the specific call of God in my life cos I know that it'll lead to the most joy, peace and fulfilment. But first, I'll have to figure out what God's call is, for me in my life..

Why???

It's so hard to 'enjoy the search, and trust in the divine' in all aspects of my life..

I've been feeling a bit lonely at school, now that all my seniors are gone, esp Huiling!! my best buddy in school in the past..hahaha are u honoured Huiling??hahaha but she's still my best buddy. Its just difficult to meet up with people nowadays, now that everybody is in different electives and modules..so I jus ve lunch with different people all the time..but I enjoy all my lunch sessions with them still:)

I guess I've been feeling lonely ever since I lost my best friend..miss having somebody to speak to every night. It's a really good form of release for me. So now, I practise talking to God every night instead.:)

I decided to revive my blog cos i decided that I need a space to remember my journey with God and all His promises and faithfulness to me! Its okay..since i spend so much time on the internet anyway..jus wont spend time uploading photos though..no timeeeeee

I can't concentrate with the intense heat! --updated on monday 19 November

Anyways, I went to glenelg with Shi wei, Chastine, Joanne, Jenifer to sun-tan n chill out..haha had a fun time takin photos n posing..We all watch too much America's next top model already. Went to a photoshoot with shiwei on Wednesday too. ITs a complimentary photoshoot, where they do all your hair n make-up by professionals for free, the photographer is professional too..they had all the props n background that u could pose with, took abt 35 shots i think..It was so fun n the photographer was so nice, that I feel so bad not buying any photos..going to look at how the photos turned out on Wednesday.BUT I must resist the temptation to buy any photos cos 1 photo cost 200 bucks..n its only a normal sized photo.

We went to Yorke Peninsular on Friday, nothing much there though but thank you for driving us there though, Jia Ching! neva see somebody so willing to drive us around..normal people would complain if they had to do it all e time.

I went crabbing in the night with my cell, it was really fun though we didnt catch much crabs, but the beach and company was really good..haha really enjoyed myself..The grp b4 us caught many crabs though cos they went there during high tide..We only reached there at 10 sth, so the tide had gone down already..

No matter how hard i try, things just don't feel the same anymore

It's so sad to see my friends in adelaide go home cos i may not be seeing them again..I have formed so manyclose friendships here that its hard to part with them..We get along so well mans..Shi Wei went off on Sat morning already to go home to attend her sister's wedding, the rest will be going home this week too..I'm gonna miss them v much!

I have to go back to studyin now, gonna meet my cell leader later for lunch for the last time..sobs..We are going to have Japanese food.. the last time we met for dinner we had Thai food at Cafe Michael 2 on Rundle Street, the food was really good n i ate twice the amount that i ate the previous day that i was there.. must try the green curry and the crispy chicken..one of the best Thai food that i have eaten in a long time! quite reasonable too!

I'm so glad that God has been using me in ways I neva thot possible
Thank You God!
And continue to help me grow my prayer ministry
And grant me the disclipline and perserverance to pray for others

Memory verse of the day for me:
1 John 2:27
And as for you, the annointing which you received from Him abides in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you; but as HIS ANNOINTING TEACHES YOU ABOUT ALL THINGS, and is true and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, YOU ABIDE IN HIM.

Cacing, me and my housemate, su ping went to handorf recently..it was quite some time back though..haha but didnt have time to blog until now..Cacing volunteered to take me around adelaide cos i will be gg home soon..so we decided to go handorf..its this small german village, which is rather quaint and quiet..We had german sausages there..yummy. i asked for sour cream to go with it..cos ii love sour cream despite of all the fats involved! the food reminded me of 'the village' in singapore. This was the fudge shop, which sold many different kinds of chocolates, sweets and fudge..i bought rum and rasin fudge and chocolate fudge from heretts the 3 of us:)I bought rum and raisin ice-cream from here..its the authentic kind of rum and raisin ice-cream..the base colour is light brown with raisins in it..homemade ice-cream yummy!The GardenI love the teapots in this garden..you can grow plants in them and place them in your garden..they are really huge n uniquethe baskets of flowers are so lovely and beautifulYellow rosestts me and cacing (cell leader) haha we managed to get him to pose for us behind all these cardboards..he actually doesnt like takin photos..but he had no choice..it was hilarious man..and he had to pose twice for each cardboard, cos my housemate wanted to take a photo with each of the cardboards too..n he was the only male around..haha

the candle shop, the candles here are all pieces of art, all handmade i think

God speaks!

God has been speaking to me so much recently
And in a really direct way
Like the previous sunday: He spoke to me almost immediately and so directly! cos I was feeling really alone that Sunday and I felt that God was not there with me and I was asking and praying during worship, 'Where are you God, have You forgotten abt me?' It was during the last song. And immediately after the last song, the pastor read out a verse that started with' I have not forgotten you.. and sth abt how He will give strength to the weak.. which I thot was really amazing cos it shows that God is a living God.. I responded to the altar call tt day too,cos the presence of the Lord was too strong to be ignored..and it was the first time that I had responded to an altar call in a year

And recently, I have been thinking about what im gg to do after graduation, whether i'm gg to work in australia/ move to australia..Daryl probably wants to work in aussie after he graduates..and I've been thinking abt various plans..how to get PR..whether to work in Sydney first and stuff.. but I'm worried abt what kind of ministry i can have in australia..still trying to figure out how God fits into everything..and God gave me this verse from
Proverbs 19: 20-21

20 Listen to advice and accept instruction, and in the end you will be wise.
21 Many are the plans in a man's heart, but it is the LORD's purpose that prevails.

Amen, I know God! and i want your purpose to be done in my Life.. so please let it be done cos i wan to serve You all of my life
I want to be a blessing to others! :D

Anw, God speaks and I guess I have to listen..maybe that's why i have to do that lengthy essay on listening
