GOd is GOOD! divine xmas card?today was a blessed day.
firstly,in the afternoon was a refreshing time of meeting God n intercession during shirls ulm. surprisingly we pray for 1hr 45 mins!
daryl was prohesying that one thing we need to do is to
ASK. and i remembered during northeast pm last fri, God spoke to me and for the unit as well this 3 letter word
ASK . if we dare to ask, he will dare to give! was once again convicted abt building 50 j1s generation. i am very very thrill when i think abt it!! yesh! God is gonna use us!
while praying for areas to repent and confess, as i take time to relfect, got to realise sum of the areas that i really need God to grow me in and change. thank God i am not God.haa..if not, the world will be in chaos. i agree w shirls. i cannot comprehen how come God can be so so patient w us (w me!) when sometimes i refuse to admit the sins i committed...when i stubbornly rebel against him-either w my actions or in my heart..etc.
purity of heart. pure motive...in all areas of my life. in my speech, in my actions, in my service to God
(oh.God, pls refine my every actions, my every thoughts n the motive behind them all)then went to shop for xmas cards! tell u, pple who receive my cards...haa..its a
divine xmas card! no la..cos its really God who save those cards for me. as i am pretty tied in my budget (am not working now..waiting for lifebook shop to accept me??!?!if not....) i need to spend wisely. haa..(really learnt wat is "save for rainy days ;/ ohh..oso reminded to be contented w what i have =) God indeed provides! the story goes:
went w pris,ruth,congsie n junhuang to mark n spencer to see cards. cannot. out of my budget. cos i wan presentable, cheap and alot of xmas cards. went to both watson shops in town, all sold out. ruth n i started to get worried. walking ard taka..still cant find any.
while ruth n i was making our way to orchard mrt, we passby wisma watson so we decided to try. true enough! ASK and it will be given to u. we ask the staff if there's any xmas cards, she showed us way the cards r displayed n exactly
two boxes were left! God save it for ruth and myself.
then we went toa payoh's watson to see. muhaa..they are selling 20 cards w envelops for
HALF PRICE! so ruth n i happily took 3 boxes in total. (1 box each n the other box, we split them equallY) all was within my budget. haa..very thankful to God.xie xie God! and
i know its GOD. its him who "planned" this all along =)
i badly wanna give smth to pple ard me during xmas but am very tied too. think God sees my heart. haaa. but really feel bad for not able to give gifts...hmm..(past yrs i think at least i can get sum gifts) but its the thought that counts !! haa..as i had said, if u receive my cards..they r
divine! haa..(opps...wrong doctrine)
next few days will be intense prayers for the non b,new b n fellow harvesters, writting of cards..and cards...and cards...i dun wan to repeat the same history of writting ALL the cards the day b4 svc. becos it will be super duper madness n unfair to the last person or the middle person who's card i gonna write. this time round i muz be discipline! haa..yesh. i will pple =)
