I had a wierd dream last night....

I was shown 5 separate cities, each with their own sins written beside them. Each city has their own set of sin that is different from another, an evil unique to their own.

And within each city, there is a prophet, a man of God, chosen and anointed by God to lead their respective cities back to Him. There's one prophet for one city.

A gush of comfort fell upon me, knowing that God still plans to bring people back to Him no matter where they are, where they belong to.

And then i was shown another scene. I am introduced to a number of different torturing, lethal devices. I only remembered 2. The first looks like a large monsoon drain, with lower walls and narrower body, that had spikes protruding out towards the internal sides of the drain. And within the drain is a man trapped, looking miserable and seem to have all hope lost written over his face. He scribbles something on the wall, and when i went over to look at it, it was a lamentation of his misery.

Suddenly, I saw a name. The name is 'Parish'.

And the second device, which i didnt have a clear look (it looks like a wooden structure), has its name as well. The name is 'flangelling'.

Then i saw someone picking up something from the 'flangelling', and words come to me, ' Go, capture and whip the boy. ' I see myself starting to run from the person...........

And then my alarm clock ring.

With faith and blessings also come struggles and trials. May God strengthen my faith in Him through these testing times! I am not gonna let go of Your Hand, no matter how tempted i am in life.

We want to see the lineage of SP continue, even when some of us will be leaving the land soon. We want to see replacements, generation of people who serve God with fervour and desire!
We want to see growth, and not decrease in numbers when we end our stage of life here.

More will come back to Christ! By His Grace it Can, it Will, and it Must be Done!

[1 Corinthians 13:4-7] [MSG]

Love never gives up.
Love cares more for others than for self.
Love doesn't want what it doesn't have.
Love doesn't strut,
Doesn't have a swelled head,
Doesn't force itself on others,
Isn't always "me first,"
Doesn't fly off the handle,
Doesn't keep score of the sins of others,
Doesn't revel when others grovel,
Takes pleasure in the flowering of truth,
Puts up with anything,
Trusts God always,
Always looks for the best,
Never looks back,
But keeps going to the end.

That sums up love. Do you really love, or just use it as a byword or excuse to achieve your selfish aims? Its time to give careful thoughts to your ways.... if you are humble enough to do it.

A Testimony to share!

Today went for an interview some where near Upper Paya Lebar... Dun really wish to go actually since i am already waiting for another job confirmation for another job... But since God gave me a second chance ( i missed the 1st interview for this one) so i felt i might as well take it...

I left home at 8 (the interview is at 9am) den i thot to myself i am gonna be late, cos i dun really know the place, and Paya lebar sounds very far from my home. But I managed to reach the destination within 30 minutes (with bus ok!) Hahaha. Somehow God blessed my travel and keep me from being late.

And den its the interview. This is the longest interview that i have ever experienced! But throughout the interview the boss was very engaging and friendly, sharing a lot of stuffs that relates to the job. And towards the end he just simply offer me the job directly.

I considered it for a while as i travel home... Den in the end i accept the job....

Well, God is simply amazing! He blessed me by keeping me from lateness, gave me a boss who is friendly and knows what he is doing, and He gives me a choice to choose out of 2 job offers!

The economy isnt good at all;
I am not a top student. More like a bad student.
I have no job experience other than the internship in SP.
Neither am i someone who can offer many different types of skills;
Or talented in any way that benefits my job finding;
I only have my God.

But His grace is sufficient for me
that i am able to make a choice between 2 jobs
work not 5, but 4 days a week
a workplace that isnt that far from my home
and leaving Saturday and Sunday free to serve!

Its not because i am good,
but because He loves me.

Praise Him!

(Isaiah 40:30-31)
Even youths grow tired and weary,
and young men stumble and fall;
but those who hope in the LORD
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.
