"..... Christ is all, and is in all" - Col 3:11
I like this particular verse somehow.. short yet impactful..
Another verse that I find rather thought-provoking: "For, as I have often told you before and now say again even with tears, many live as enemies of the cross of Christ. Their destiny is destruction, their god is their stomach, and their glory is in their shame. Their mind is on earthly things"-Phil 3:18-19 Somehow, it casts a dark shadow upon me.. "their destiny is destruction' = it sounds so scary and real... and "their glory is their shame" = is such a life worth living for...? I feel I'm one of those people, even though I trusted in God and believed in His existence... There can be true, loyal & obedient Christians who put God's words into actions, yet there can also be Christians who hears the word but do nothing... Hopefully, and I sincerely pray that I don't fall into the latter..

A Thankful & Blessed Day
Heh. Today was a day filled with many unexpected surprises. Firstly, I was v.thankful that the client did not show any signs of being angry/pissed off when I approached her, but instead, I thought that I caught a smile on her face somehow.. (hmm, weird? maybe I'm hallucinating? Haha. No idea =/ )
Secondly, today I had lunch with the new batch of intakes for my unit! I was only informed today that they will be in office today as they had orientation on Mon & Tue.. I was so excited abt meeting them! Haha. 6 of them were from Msia & 1 from SG (SMU), and guess what... ALL of them are females!!! haha. So cool right?
Finally after work, yepp, it's time for our weekly unit cg gathering! Today the rain was unexpectedly huge.. But it did not dampen my spirit in going for cg! Just the thought of being around my sisters & brothers overpowered every other things on my mind..
The paragraph that we revised today is Matthew 7. Personally, many verses strike me such as Matthew 7:1-2, 7-8, 12 and 21-23. The most compelling verse is Matthew 7:21: "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven". In my opinion, this means that even though we might be Christians, we praise & worship God and go for weekly church services, but if our hearts is not with God, or we do things that is against God or do not heed the WOG (bible), we will not be allowed to enter heaven.. How much sadder can it get if this is really the case for Christians.. (though Christians and yet are refused entry into heaven by God..)
It's time to really think & decide what I'm going to do with my life.. But one thing I'm very sure of is that, right now God is very real in me, and I want to keep continuing my faith in Him...
God bless all :)

Brand New Day
Today I arrived at client's place early :) (a good start?)
Abit apprehensive of what will happen today, after yesterday's incident..
Pray for the best..
As usual, my Mp3 accompanied me throughout my way to work, without it I'll just feel so empty.. Haha. I <3 P&W song! It really makes me think through life, and ponder over issues :)
Well, hope today will be a smooth-sailing day.
God bless all sis & bro.

Bad Day at Work
Today's work wasn't that well.. made a blunder due to carelessness.. Hope everything will be fine & pray that I won't make any careless mistake in future..
And today I went to ACTS bookstore in China Square. Somehow I just walked there without knowing it... And I saw this really nice name plaque... Only now then I know what my name stands for.. wasn't really what I expected.. but it sounds nice... I immediately bought it cos there's only one..

PS: Thank God for my Mp3.. I really don't know how I will survive each day without my Mp3..
God bless.

Word of God speaks
Today, I'm on the passage on 2 Corinthians.. Immediately, I was deeply engrossed in the reading... It started off with "The God of All Comfort" - 2 Corinthians 3-10. How true can this be.. Recently been trying to catch up with some of the sisters from nyc, and to understand more abt their life, studies etc.. Quite a number of them voice out they are experiencing difficulties with their sch work, and I felt 2 Corinthians is just like.. ' a god-sent'.. Indeed, God is our Comfort.. The Bible mentioned "Indeed, in our hearts we felt the sentence of death. But this happened that we might not rely on ourselves but on God, who raises the dead. He has delivered us from such a deadly peril, and he will deliver us". I totally believe & am v.certain that God will lift us up just when we feel we can't handle & hang on anymore to the stress & problems that are never-ending.. Let's just pray and seek for Him more, and He'll answer in a matter of time. Have absolute faith in Him!
Treasures in Jars of Clay
2 Corin 4:7-12: "But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed , but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned. We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body..."
2 Corin 4:16-18: "Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentarily troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is unseen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal"
Be it in studies, at work or doing anything, let's take time to ponder & cherish every single min spent on Earth... Stress, tiredness, depression, sickness etc never fails to strike anyone of us.. Living life with God is the best thing that can ever happen.. Don't feel alone for you are not, like what MM told me a few days ago "You might be lonely, but you will never be alone".. For there's always sisters & brothers, and God (Amen!) who will always be there for you... Have faith in God! Let's walk together with God, forever and ever...
Remember, don't lose hope & faith in God, and in everything that you do.. Everything you do is significant, be it how small or tiny it might appear to be..
God bless all :)

Distractions (grrr)
Distractions. It's the main issue why I'm so not diligent in reading the Bible. I'm just so easily distracted by other things around me... Even if the other things relatively seem unimportant.. I'll still insist on completing them before I open up the Bible and read.. (just for the sake of a peace of mind that I've completed what I need to do before I count it as the end of a day.. ) This wrong attitude has to, and must change...
*MIA* yep, to read :)
