I was telling God that i wanna get more wisdom! haa.. and what a better way to draw wisdom than from the Book of Proverbs. (not forgetting.. you can simply ask God for it too > James 1:5-6)Yeah, I'm now reading Genesis and going through the book of Proverbs. It has been really good! I also started journaling down what I learn and captured from reading the Bible. (whoooo.. I have NOT done that for quite a long time! yeah.. go ahead.. start WRITING down what you learn from the Bible! It's amazing!)Just want to list down 3 different kinds of statements... (there are more than these too!)-There are LAWS - these are commands that I'm always supposed to doeg. Deu 6 - Love the Lord your God with all your heart > yes! Everyone is to love God that way.- And there are PROMISES - this is a gurantee of what God will do or a guarantee of what will happen.eg. Rom 8 - Nothing can seperate us from the love of God. > Isn't this promise great?!- And then there are PROVERBS- A proverb is a catchy desciption about the way things generally are.eg. Prov 11:25 - A generous man will prosper. > A lot of times people can be quite generous and they may not prosper at all. They may be poor. Because proverbs are not guaranteed formulas for sucess, in finances, parenting or work. They are wise observations about kingdom living.Another feature of proverbs: Proverbs are designed to force us to have to think about them.Prov 1:7The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline.
wheeeeee (:

This is the prime of your life! You've been on a straight educational path since you learned to tie your shoes, and now suddenly you've got a diploma, enough energy to run the length of the globe, and all of the freedom in the world. So how are you going to spend the glorious days of your independent youth?
In a cubible, perhaps? Filing papers, or maybe crunching numbers? How about answering phones and scheduling meetings?
Wrong! Now is the time to do exactly what you want to do and fulfill your wildest dreams.
Don't be in such a rush to become boring! Let the early years be more unconventional and experimental. Try things you might never have the chance to do again. When else in life will you have such freedom? If you wait for retirement, the experience won't be nearly as cool.
haa.. i caught much of this from this pretty cool book - Delaying the Real World.
what is written up there.. is very much what i'm feeling right now.. whee.. What I have.. is TIME in my hands! I've gotta really know what to do with it mannnn..
yeah.. in fact.. i'm really excited to where God is leading me to.. I'm still following.. (:Friends.. I hope you all will find your purpose and dreams in life as well.. Don't rush into things.. and waste ya life away.. Seriously.. I pray you'll be able to find the best answer.. that is in knowing n following Jesus.
wheeeeee (:

They are becoming our next "ou xiang"! haaha..
Anyway.. Do tell yourself this... "I will never stop learning"
yes.. Don't just be an accidental learner.. Be a pro-active one! (:James 3:17"But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere."
wheeeeee (:

Do you know... of how the gift goes on?well, there is actually a christmas song on that.. I learnt something recently... There are some things that people(you) do for me, and I may not be able to pay back or do likewise back to you as a form of my gratitude. BUT.. I am able to do what you have done for me to others. And what I have done and given to others, they too can do likewise to many others.. And it goes on... I want to Thank all that You (and many others) have done for me... I will want to do likewise for others who are around me...And to those whom I have offered or bless you in one way or another.. Don't bother on how you can return it to me.. Just go on and do it unto others.. (:Pass it on... And the Gift goes on
wheeeeee (:

God made you exactly as you are.
He wiped you and gave you the temperament and the experience and the background that you have because He wanted someone just like you in this world right now. -Bill Hybels
Memory Verse:
Titus 3:5-6
"he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior"
wheeeeee (:

True joy in the Christian adventure unfurls when you play the role that the spirit askes you to play
Lord.. Easter is HERE! oh should i say that the month of April will be basically more focus on Easter! Use us Father! as we labour in prayer and work hard to bring in the lost into your kingdom. The kingdom of light is gonna conquer the kingdom of darkness big time mannnn!
Memory Verse:1 John 4:4You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.
