Read this insightful interpretation of Romans 8:28-29 last nite.
We know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them. For God knew his people in advance, and he chose them to become like his Son.
We know-- Our hope in difficult times is not based on positive thinking, wishful thinking, or natural optimism. It is a certainty based on the truth that God is in complete control of our universe and that he loves us.
everything-- God's plan for your life involves all that happens to you, including your mistakes, your sins, and your hurts. It includes illness, debt, disasters, divorce(eh.. ), and death of loved ones. God can bring good our of the worst evil. He did at Calvary.
to work together-- not separately or independently. The events in your life work together in God's plan. They are not isolated acts but interdependent parts of the process to make you like Christ. To bake a cake you must use flour sat raw eggs sugar and oil. Eaten individually, each is pretty distasteful. But bake them together and they become delicious. If you will give God all your distasteful, unpleasant experiences, he will blend them together for good.

recess week
Since my blog has been pretty wordy w/o pix,here are pix of physio lab 2/3 weeks back. hehs, it's one of the most fun and slack labs we have :)
me, jas and leo.
dajie and erjie gaying around. -_-
dajie using the spirometer and erjie figuring the data log device
3 of us blocked by dajie's fat finger.
Answs, i went for star gazing and a talk on pulsars by some female british prof yesterday. Was kinda disappointed that we only managed to see Sirius B cuz the sky was too cloudy! It's a pretty common prob in the humid climate of Singapore thou, so i wasnt very surprised.The only time i managed to see very nice stars was at germany and pulau ubin, and the mental snapsnots of these 2 scenes remain vivid till date. The therapeutic effects of natural settings are so strong that tt's no wonder Gulustan says the view of the sky from her kitchen/balcony is her television. lol :)
To me,
it's the best art piece ever. And the painter? God.

Morning Prayer
The reason i went for morning prayer for the first time a few weeks back was because i was convicted of the power of intercession...never did i expect to be ministered to by God during today's prayer session.When Gee-ian came up to me and edified me with a one-liner from God, i knew immediately that it was from God. He said, People may not understand you, but the Lord says, i do.
God never fails to amaze me. He's the only one who knows what hurts, who makes me so excited, stand in awe of Him and take my breath away!
That was exactly what i heard from God while jogging some time back...and today, God was once again restoring me. That 1.5hrs long of worship ministered to us and started prayer session well as it speaks of God's love for His people.That's the reason why we pray!
Read this poem last sat too and coincidentally i got to share with Kaiyun abt it on that very day, which i believe is not by pure coincidence.
You are who you are for a reason.
You're part of an intricate plan.
You're a precious and perfect unique design,
Called God's special woman or man.
You look like you look for a reason.
Our God made no mistake.
He knit you together within the womb,
You're just that he wanted to make.
The parents you had were the ones he chose,
And no matter how you may feel,
They were custom-designed with God's plan in mind,
And they bear the Master's seal.
No, that trauma you faced was not easy.
And God wept that it hurt you so;
But it was allowed to shape your heart
So that into his likeness you'd grow.
You are who you are for a reason,
You've been formed by the Master's rod.
You are who you are, beloved,
Because there is a God.
Ask God to amaze you today, and He will!

hmm.
The 2nd week of sch was relatively gd.. esp the CNY party yesterday :) Enjoyed making popiahs that jian and desmond prepared, hosting games with baosheng, being able to pray for tanjo, steal a few mins to have a nice walk arnd the playground with beth, etc etc. Struggled abit abt sharing when i saw a familiar face but God is faithful and once again He reassured me again, like how he did so after i shared in church.
beth marcus tanjo and me. look at the huge pile of cny deco.. lol
with beth :)
some of us!
the physiotherapist wee kok. lol
Anws my body clock has kinda changed for this sem and i woke up at 10.30 today! lol, a rather great achievement considering i used to wake up automatically at 7plus am. Went for a jog @ bishan park before chilling at bishan stadium. I love these 2 places cuz there were quite a few times i felt God speak when i was jogging. cool. I even fell asleep at the stadium once while lying down and relaxing. Sometimes i wished i have more free mornings-afternoon to just jog and chill, but i guess i will just be satisfied with the current time table :)
