i'm back here for another testimony. haha. seems like God is really blessing me a lot these days. in fact much much more than i myself realised. i even had to be reminded of how blessed i am through others *guilt striken* hahaha.
anyway here goes.... i was feeling really stressed yesterday as i was asking everyone online and collating the results to my project work survey. long due for about 3 weeks? however, due to the inefficiency of my group,we didn't get things done. i had a target and a goal to go towards and had to reach it no matter what. that is to get 100 people to do my survey within a period of 3 days. all by myself... its horrible but by God's grace I DID IT!!!
but one thing, i felt horrible. i felt stressed. as i had a lot of homework untouched for the whole weekend due to my commitments to my project work. i had a maths paper/worksheet to complete by yesterday. a chinese compo. Literature test, chemistry test. which i haven't touched any of it AT ALL. and by the time i finished my project work. it was about 1130. i told myself i was finished. *bad bad*. until one of my friend from another church msn-ed me and started talking to me. he asked how was i. i told him i was stressed and everything blurted out.
i have to admit his life to christianity was one of the most amazing ones i've actually witnessed. He was once an
ah-beng, had lots of girlfriends...etc. but now he is one of the strongest christians i've known. He told me many things i never thought of myself. i told him i needed more time...24 hours isn't enough for me to finish all my work. and he called me up anyway. telling me. his was no better but he believed he could go on. by then i was crying out of stress. den he asked me a question which surprised me,"are you working by God's strength or your own strength?"
that caught me by surprise, i've never thought about that before. i said i don't know. den he said. if i don't know. it means i'm working all this by my own strength. i should have faith in God that he will give me the strength to go through all this. he study from 8-4pm den 5-7pm he host his poly's prayer meeting. den 730pm-9? he had to work. by the time he reached home he had to start on his projects and only get to sleep 3 hours a day. yet everyday is so refreshing to him cause he is moving by God's strength. God can expand our capabilities, allowing us to do more than what we ourselves can expect.
I can do all things through him who gives me strength. Philippians 4:13i felt so much better. and was reminded that if God brings me through all this, he will bring me out of it. with a reason for bringing me through it.everything has its reasons.
today i woke up realising that i haven't really gone through my chemistry for the test today. sat for it. surprisingly. i think i was able to smog through it! hahaha. not good but at least i went through it. the maths teacher was ok with my work. the chinese teacher didn't come so we didn't nid to hand in the compo. literature test was posponed to thursday. SEE? haha. its a lesson learnt within a day.
P.S cyrus, i'm still studying that verse you asked me to read about. haha. matthew 3:11. I CAN DO IT! at least i know its not baptism of the FORK. haha

Here are some verses the Lord has spoken to me through recently, from the book of Amos, chapter 5. Would like to share them with you guys.
4 This is what the LORD says to the house of Israel: "Seek me and live;
5 do not seek Bethel, do not go to Gilgal, do not journey to Beersheba. For Gilgal will surely go into exile, and Bethel will be reduced to nothing."
6 Seek the LORD and live, or he will sweep through the house of Joseph like a fire; it will devour, and Bethel will have no one to quench it.
14 Seek good, not evil, that you may live. Then the LORD God Almighty will be with you, just as you say he is.
We need to move beyond just 'doing' Quiet Time, or just 'reading' the Bible, if that has been the case for us. We need to 'seek the Lord', and one way to do this would be to spend quality time talking to Him in prayer. We also need to 'seek to do what is good' all the time. Amen? =)

to zhuang mao's little qns....
hmmm... i pondered awhile on tat... "What do you do when parents wants you to do something that is not right?"
we are suppose to obey our parents aren't we.... but then.... since i know tat it's something not right, i guess i would not do it cos i can choose not to commit wat is not right.... but but..... a small part still wonders if i would do as it's wat my parents want me to do for example....
so hard to answer....
*
okie....
now let me just update you guys on my life through our bloggie....
i've left my previous job at CPF cos my contract ended....
(here's a pic taken with some of my colleagues.... nice ppl....)
and it's time for me to move on.... cos i've started my first perm job at another company.... new environment... new colleagues.... new rules.... new industry....
it's kinda tough i would say.... the training.... getting use to the whole new concept of express service.... a whole new working environment.... everything is so fast pace..... no time to wait for you to ponder.... you've to be real independent to learn on your own... cos the company's pretty shorthanded... so there's no proper trainer.... and tat results to a tired me.... especially when i'm sick the whole of last week... still am.... so keep me in prayer ya.... having cough and flu/cold now...
