On A Friday...

wowhoo..its a rare day that i am spending a relaxing afternoon nw. hhaa. finally a day that i do not need to rush assignments or what (hha..well cycle will start again after this wk! so i better cherish..). so am here to blog down my recent learnings!

i was reading matthew 8-9:

Whenever there's a need in the people's lives, they see a need to have Jesus in them.
(e.g the sick, the crippled etc.)

isnt it true in our lives too?

- when we are rushing for sch, we pray for the bus to come quick--> need of God to bring the bus quick! HAHA.
- when we cant understanding what we are studying for the past 1 hr--> need of wisdom
- when we are tired--> need of strength
- when we are quick tempered--> need of self control
- when we feel hurt and discouraged --> need of God's love and comfort.
- when we are caught in situations when we do not noe what to do--> need of God's intervention.

and many many more..

it makes me realise, sometimes when i ask God why he allows certain situations or things to happen, its actually an opportunity that we see that there's a need in our lives & we need Him to be in control, to intervene. without lack, we dun see a need.

so next time when situation arise, see it as another time u can depend on God!

am oso reading Four Pillars of A Man's Heart and must say its an interesting book. i know u guys must be asking why i read a bk abt manhood. well, just feel ts always gd to understand abt how God wired the guys, esp am in JC Ministry too..and there are principles which can be applicable to females too! but seriously...when i am reading the bk, i feel like becoming a MAN! okokko...of cos, i appreciate my own "species" too. HAHA.

i liked this statement the author made:

“When I decided to follow Christ without reservation, I become a man."

what a simple but strong statement. let's be a people that follow christ without reservation.

(We had an interesting lunch together. haha we actually witness the sudden big crack of the window while we were eating! its so scray. we were all alarmed by the sound! anyway, it was a very expensive lunch :( we merely order like 12 plates in total..and it cost all the 4 of us, $10 each -_-" i will choose to go suki sushi next time! since the quality is not much diff i feel (99cents per plate) )

Chewing on gd stuff!

debster is a happy gal! cos she finds joy in chewing on the WOG. like what shirls mention on sat, we shld chew on the WOG more & more!

so glad that i can learn new things even though i read the passage b4.

i've created a folder named "personal learning". i've decided to archive all my learnings from books/bible/etc from nw on!

alright, shall share abit of my QT learnings:
(below are just my personal thoughts and learnings.)

Leviticus 5-6:
Guilt/sin offering.

- i was thinking so what is God trying to say abt all these offerings..so i came to this conclusion:

- Every sin committed, the people needs to give an offering (e.g dove, sheep etc)
- It reminds the people that they have sinned. By giving the offering, they will be forgiven.
- Every sin, there’s a price to pay.
- Someone has to pay the price.
- Likewise, now, jesus had paid the price for our sins.
- We should not take his forgiveness and grace for granted.

Matt 6
Giving to the Needy, Prayer & Fasting

- i see a similar msg that jesus is trying to drive. abt doing our deeds with the heart of pleasing God, not showing off. but why these 3 areas?
- so i came to this conclusion:

- These 3 areas are areas they most of the time, we do in the “dark” when people do not notice. E.g. How many times u pray, how much u give (be it in a measurable way or immeasurable ways esp), how many meals u fast.

-We need to guard our heart not to do it out to show off / letting the public to see.
-Do it because of our love for God.

I will blog abt the learnings i have while reading books from time to time too :D
haha learnt so much, i must oso keep in mind to apply them man...

frankly, i am not the "reader" kind. my first hobby will definitely not be reading! haha.but its important that we read and learn..there's so much things to learn in the world. attitude is key. it doesnt matter if u read slowly, pace yaself. so that next time u will want to read again. choose the correct book too! haha. like book with bigger word prints. HAAHA. but of cos, the content of the bk matter the most.

ok,previously,i had this theme-of-the-wk which i touch on L.O.V.E.(topics are according to fruit of the spirit). now i shall go back to it!so this wk's theme-of-the-week is---> JOY ;D

2 Corinthians 7:4
4I have great confidence in you; I take great pride in you. I am greatly encouraged; in all our troubles my joy knows no bounds.

2 Corinthians 8:2-3

2Out of the most severe trial, their overflowing joy and their extreme poverty welled up in rich generosity. 3For I testify that they gave as much as they were able, and even beyond their ability.....

happiness depends on happenings. Joy depends on God.
its really interesting to see how when times of testing and trials, how people in the bible still can have joy. well the ans is simple: their source of joy is God ;)


okok, b4 i go..here's some pics :
