day number four.

Today was an awesome day filled with many spiritual encounters with God.

But above all, I want to thank God that just into 3 days of praying that my parents will not have to relocate their shop elsewhere, it really happened! The owner agreed to allow my parents to keep a part of their shop and pay lower rent! Wheee, God is good, I never actually expected it, but it did happened. XD

I think God is really cool, like He knows everything, and He has total control of whom, how and when He wants to reveal to us this nature of His and allow that person to minister to us. I really do hope that one day I can move in the gifts of the Holy Spirit so powerfully too, so much so that people I minister to can have their lives changed and love God even more. I mean, it's such a joy to see people's lives touched when you begin to exercise the gifts of the Holy Spirit. As much as i love to be ministered to, I want to minister others as well and be a blessing to them, just like how someone else had blessed me.

Darren is really a great BS teacher. Though practicals are scary, but they are really helpful to allow us to get to exercise these gifts, and he also teaches us how these gifts will be very important when we become leaders. I've never absorbed that much from a bible study before seriously. I pray that God heals his fingers soon.

Whee, I'm enjoying these few days of spiritual journey and I've never experienced God this real in my life before(perhaps last time I never took time to notice). The end shall be better than it's beginning, I'm excited( it's alrd that good when it's only day 4. think about day 21. WOW). All the fasting and praying will pay off eventually, I want to know God more, walk closer with Him, and be used by Him in a greater way than ever before, always being kingdom-minded and kingdom-motivated.

I love You.

the ultimate evilness

omgosh, i think the internet is evil. When I stay at home and have free time to be on the computer, the internet has to bombard me with so many things. Last night, I spent the time helping john to find online sprees for men while I was looking for pretty clothes. Today, I spent the day looking for cameras! Gosh, I think I need to fast from electronics soon. ABSTAIN!

I want this, fisheye camera! The effect is really cool. like this.

Or, i totally wouldn't mind owning a holga. Which I can purchase the fisheye lens afterward.

The disadvantage of these cameras it's that they run on FILM. and I deduce that after spending a hundred bucks on the camera itself. it'd cost me a bomb to develop the photos. gee, I think I should start considering buying an SLR instead, at least it's digital. SNORT.

I bought eyemasks online. It's DARN cheap. Like 60 cents each! Uber cool, and the eyemasks were recommended on some taiwan show before. Wahahaha.

Going for ministry later!

faith

western wall, jerusalem

He said to them, Because of the littleness of your faith [that is, your lack of firmly relying trust]. For truly I say to you, if you have faith [that is living] like a grain of mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, Move from here to yonder place, and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you. But this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.
Matthew 17:20-21(Amp)

Faith is such a important part of this Christian faith. Without faith, it is impossible to please God. Believing is a lighter burden than doubting. (:

I'm sitting at my desk blogging now. I studied a little earlier on and did my assignment. Haha, i'm still contemplating if i should go for the dinner thingy with the drama mamas later. I need money, cannot be such a spendthrift. LOLx.

I think it's so cool that kexin can share with me her experiences in SOT, I come to know God even more through her spiritual encounters with God and it births within me a desire to experience it for myself. I want to be in SOT.

21 days of prayer and fasting

21 days of encounters, 21 opportunities to know Him more, 21 days of sacrifice, 21 days of adventure.

Boy, I am excited.

nice and clean!

I feel really really good after packing my room! Yesterday , I was still feeling all grumpy as a result of the horrible horrible mess in my room. After the trip to IKEA, things changed! haha, I bought boxes that were uber cheap to pack my room, and also got a new chair, it's red. The boxes are red, my table legs are red. I LOVE RED. I also threw away all the old and irrelevant stuff that made me feel so good after everything.Oh gosh, I so want a lomocamera! this is so cute right? and it's like only $32. The spree is closed luh, but I hope this person still have instocks! *prays hard*

Hmm, i'm so into James Frey's new book-Bright Shiny Morning. Awesome. Like really. GO READ IT TOO!

taking time to enjoy life before all the studying begins.

roomie!

I think God is such a wonderful Father, always so faithful, and has a great plan for my life. I just enjoy every bit of His presence and the goosebumpy feeling I get. XD

I think my room is really very messy and dirty. I need to start packing it and getting some new storage spaces. They never seem to be enough. Actually I wanted to take a photo of the mess, but haha, decided not too just in case ppl get a shock by what they see. I also want to get some beads and wires and make some new jewellery this holidays.

yes, what is impossible to me is possible with God, if I believe.
