The prophet Habakkuk resolves to rejoice no matter what happens. “Though the fig tree may not blossom, nor fruit be on the vines; though the labor of the olive may fail, and the fields yield no food; though the flock may be cut off from the fold, and there be no herd in the stalls—Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation. The LORD God is my strength; He will make my feet like deer’s feet, and He will make me walk on my high hills”
(Hab. 3:17-19).
When the disappointments are enormous, when the blows are relentless, when all expectations are dashed, that is when we need to say, “I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation!”

This certainly encouraged me a lot. A lot. And i really appreciate all the prayers, morning texts, care, CD (compilation of p&w) from various people here. Thank you Evelyn, Melissa, Shinyee, Bernard, and all the churchies. Thank you Samuel too for listening to my complaints over and over, for all the talks, for staying up with me..

I feel so blessed? I was so hungry and wished food would drop from sky somehow either that, or go starveeee till night (because i'd just ended my exam and gotta prepare for next exam tmw. i'm also quite lazy to cook and wash) and Shinyee left a lunch box outside my house a few mins ago? She's my angel!?! God.. you love me.. (':
Oh, the temptation is actually a landmark experiment on delayed gratification.
Instant gratification vs Delayed gratification in which i often find myself struggling with and would eventually pick the former for pleasure's sake.
Need to be disciplined to carry out my duties, my quiet time for i know the cost of not doing so is hefty.
Anw mid sem break's here! Everyone's away (D:) while i'm stuck in Ipswich to catch up on my school work.
"being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus"
Still a work in progress. This is gna be an Adventure.
Not too long ago i had a really humbling session with God where i saw how foolish i'd been.
It dawned upon me that everything i had, (have and will have) were gifts from God. He gave me abundantly/extravagantly when i asked and then, took away the things which i thought was rightfully mine.
Gna give all due credits back to Him. Tear down all these acts of self righteousness, admitting my mistakes, failures and weaknesses so that His power could rest on me.
"You give and take away
My heart will choose to say
Lord, Blessed be your name.
..Every blessing that you pour out, i turn back to praise.."
