taking some time off from the books. haven been really able to concentrate anyways.
in the mood for blogging so here i am. :)
Bear: This is for you! I hope it encourages you. :) i tried tagging. somehow i cant. :(
Krisy: i saw the blog entries! the pics were lovely!! :) go take pics of the new place. i want see! :) and i'll reply to the emails soooon. :)
hmm, i think blogs are really a essential part of me now. i update myself with what my gems in life are going through in life and they get my updates too. :) so people, please update the blogs!
sometimes i wonder if i am really busy or i just have too many things on hand. everyone that wants to meet me up says they have to book me in advance. and they have to hope that nothing else crops up to postpone or cancel our arranged meet-up. someone enlighten me on how i should feel about that? :(
anyways, Asia Conference was fantastic!! :) i don't think i will have the time to update everything. but if you want to know what happened, click HERE :) credits to city news! :)
hmmm, i'll just share on one thing. i was up super early for the morning prayer meeting on sunday. the last day of the conference. it was a personal prayer time instead of the corporate one. so i took some time to meditate on the word .
i was led to Acts 7. The story about Joseph. i was at first giving thanks for the year and as it draws to a close, i wanted wisdom and favor as 2009 approaches. from glory to glory. :)
if you look with me to Acts 7. it says that people were envious of Joseph (v.9). do you feel that sometimes too? not that we're being arrogant but really sometimes in life, one is more blessed than the other(we feel). even i sometimes get a little envious of others. BUT GOD WAS WITH HIM. :)
He delivered him out of trouble and gave him favor and wisdom in all his house. (v.10)
that was what i was praying for! amazing right? :)
then it went about saying about a famine and great trouble that came but Joseph had the wisdom to handle them. how the family was together when Jacob, Joseph's father passed on.
i was really encouraged by this (all the period of about 15 mins during the prayer time) and i hope it will for you too.
somehow ever since poly, for me personally, nothing seems to be consistent except change. it's filled with SO many changes, i get really frustrated.
but in the midst of all the frustrations, i thank God for always being with me. i would be lying if i said through all these i have never thought about just letting go everything, be selfish and heck about everything else. but God is faithful and gracious. He brings people in my paths to encourage me and walk with me. :)
i am doing everything that i am suppose to do. everything that is right. but is it something i really want in life? what's my calling? till i find out, i have to continue to perservere. :)
being anywhere, be it the marketplace or the church, there is something to learn and each has its own "problems".
will you take His hand and let Him take the lead? :)
i will end with a quote by Pastor AR Bernard. he shared during the conference.
"..Fishes can be in the ocean, but they're not salty.."
a very nice illustration about us in the marketplace. what you think? :) and i want to add, the salt in the ocean, keeps the fishes fresh. :) what do you think about that?
loads of food for thoughts.
shall head back to the notes...
pray for me.
my exams are on 1st & 2nd Dec at Singapore Expo at 3pm for both papers. :)
cheerios~ :)
