fear not.fel the hero is here to clean it up!or maybe fel the cleaner.haha.
anyways, its the break for the exams right now. started studying alr.DUH!i dont want my CAP to sink any lower. like what jia wei said, its like worms in the toilet bowl?struggling to crawl out?haha.nvm that. 2 papers this sat, one on mon, and on wed and IM DONE!by the 30 april!this is probably my earliest that i end my exams. usually, im always the last few to end. but this time, among most of my friends, im one of the earliest!YAY!cant wait.
this morning, Rev Abel Thomas came to speak in my service. he touched on a very common topic for all christians. on How much time are we giving God and how can we give him more time that he deserves.
i liked the quote he said"
WE MUST HEAR GOD IN QUIET TIMES (in our own bedrooms, when we do our quiet time) BEFORE WE CAN HEAR GOD IN THE SYMPHONY OF LIFE.
this is so true. many a times, we expect to be able to hear God speaking to us when we are so busy in our lives. how can we expect to hear God to speak to us, when we do not even hear him when we do our quiet time with HIM?=)
Rev Thomas named 8 distractions that we should try to overcome:
1)stop being busy.
2)stop having messed up priorities
3)stop the desire to climb the ladder of success.
(i liked it when he said only 1 person can be number 1, someone has to be number 2,3,4,etc. so why be number 1 in the world when you can be number 1 in your race for God=).haha.i admit, i never like being number 1, maybe coz i was shy to receive the prize.really!no kidding.haha.i remember when i was about 6 years old. i won an art contest for some national day theme drawing. i got 1st!but i was so shy that i ran home and cried. i didnt dare to receive the prize at all. my mum had to go home to drag me back to the prize presentation place. teary- eyed i went to take my trohpy. my first gold trophy and the best part was i got a whole set of legos. AIRPORT theme. with cool looking lego men, airplanes and runway track!haha.i preferred that to the trophy.)
4)stop hungering and thirsting for things that do not feed our soul.
5)stop disbelieving.
6)we do have the lack of examples around us. good christians to lead the way. few there are. but we must perservere=) it takes guts to say no to what everyone else in the world is doing.
7)stop being more self- reliant than dependent on God when faced with a problem. God is definitely bigger than us and the problem so why worry when he can worry for us=)
8)did we forget our first love?that is Jesus Christ? if we have, think of how God sacrificed his first love to die for our sins.
and yes, we have to overcome these 8 distractions. with prayer, encouragement from friends as well as God's strength, we can walk close with God.
"Dear Lord, i pray that each day as i overcome these distractions, i pray that you be my guide and my source of strength when i am too tired to carry on. i pray that i will be a testimony to all my friends out there that you have made a difference in my life and they can experience it for themselves once they have You in their lives. Thank you for loving me first. In Jesus's name i pray. AMEN"
