2) Sweets to destress...
3) A crappy call from "sister"
4) An e-mail from Yah Ting
5) A decent pass admist expecting the worst form my screw up test.
6) Full marks for Maths was an encouragement.
7) Smses/ messages from council friends

I need to learn to count my blessings =)
Celestine is fustrated and realised her tendency to blame GOD first when anything happens.
This week just doesnt seem to get better.
screwed up el test
Stressed up about assignment
stressed up for test
negative thoughts
busyness
and
God adds one more on my list.
wallet disappears in church.
Just when i was doing my membership interview.
Just when i replied i want to settle in covenant because it has a fabulous community.
then next thing i know i cant find that wallet that i brought in to the membership baptism interview room.
I cant help but to ponder what this tells me about that fabulous community i just commented on.
Fustruated at what GOD throws at me all at once.
A complaining heart blaming GOD non stop.
and it happens Just after i calmed down my week when i was worshipping
i reminded myself...crap happens but
"better is one day in your courts than thousand elsewhere"
God sustain please.
1) The unsent sms in my hp drafts.
2) My friends arent easy to meet up today and they mostly dont believe me today.
3) The essay and the test due on Monday
4) Maybe Edi was right when he said "birthdays are just another day" im starting to believe that special festives arent special, they're just another day in your calandar
5) Thinking which part of Singapore i can hide at to study.
6) Wondering why i cant even find someone to go out for dinner.
7) Baptism/Membership interview on Sunday when my heart isnt rested
depressing.... depressing...
stressed... stressed...
Certain things GOD surfaces that tugs your heart
that causes you to struggle inside...
how do most people react to it?
I realised the immediate reaction i had.. to run away from GOD.
He has been reminding me about certain things that i havent been quieting my heart to hear.
Having my first reaction to run away from GOD's plan.
I remember Kat's story of how letting GOD take control and surrending is to learn to surrender your own vision and die to self and let GOD totally take control. I think it's a reminder for me that indeed i may thought GOD was leading me that way but maybe He is teaching me to surrender my own vision to Him before He can work fully. Though now i'm stuck in a limbo of not really knowing what i can do or what i can do or what i should do, whats my role, whats my calling, with the initial reaction of just serving by going thru the motions or "running away" from His calling by just not doing anything or even the reluctance inside to serve because i dont know how...
but i just want to remind all of us and remind esp myself
to press on in His vision of leading..
not to have my own perspective or vision but His
to serve whole heartedly and not half heartedly
to just press on to love and encourage bros and sis
regardless of anything else..
God will reveal His calling in HIS TIME.
Reminded not to run from HIS purpose..
Run to GOD...
You call me to Your purpose
As angels understand
For Your glory, may You draw all men
As Your love and grace demand
And I will run to You
To Your words of truth
Not by might, not by power
But by the spirit of God
Yes I will run the race
'Till I see Your face
Oh let me live in the glory of Your grace
Therefore, two things i run to GOD to seek..
1) cg
2) practicum school
The song that chorale is learning...
i remember i was humming it to myself admist the busyness.
Really remindful lyrics.
Lead me Lord....
I cant really put a finger into this...
"Dont really feel the CNY mood.."
"Dont really feel the celebration"
never the less...
feeling quite happy =)
i think cny tidbits make me high =p

Life been happening at relatively quick pace.. =p

Here to give my thanksgiving and praise to LORD JESUS.
Finally it's results day!!!
GPA - 4.33 not too bad...
although was aiming a 4.5 so a bit disappointed...
but i give thanks and praise GOD. Because i recognise that it's from HIM.
and so.. the song that keeps playing thru my mind....
Jesus shall take the highest honour
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Lp_Z0oGy7k&feature=related
For all honour and blessing and power
Belongs to You, belongs to You
All honour and blessing and power
Belongs to You, belongs to You
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the living God
Belongs to HIM.
Thank GOD for all results.
