The prayer burden has finally struck

There has recently been a heavy burden in my heart to intercede for people. The Burden was so heavy I had to write down the names and their prayer needs in my notebook before the burden was lifted. I have learnt long time ago that it's a good idea to write down and keep track of God's faithfulness in answering prayers but I have never been that inclined to do that. I am excited and looking forward to witness God's faithfulness.

Thanksgiving

My ex classmate and ex teacher posted on her fb " love My life so much. Though I may not make Buckeroos like before, I have time to spend with my loved ones, family and friends." She later shared that she has no bonuses and no pay in december because the tuition centre closes in December.

Her facebook status update makes me more thankful for what I have got. God has blessed me with a job that gives me more time than an average teacher. He has also provided good performance bonuses despite my workload. Sure, I may be very busy at times but at least I am juggling work, studies, ministry and lives, not just work itself. Being able to find time to write is also a bonus. I Am praying that I don't take the extra time for granted.

So divine

So I test drove a second Copen today.

The first was bright red. Price 46000 but Mileage only 23000km. About 4.5 years old. The car wasn't very well taken care of though. Smells like ciggie smoke. And suspension not very sound. They said they just need to fill up the oil or something.

Today's car was prettier. Yellow. And well taken care of. It's one year newer but sells at 53k. Mileage is 45000km though. 

I really liked the car. Somehow I didn't find the peace. There are so many cars I have been looking at, thinking about. But none fits except this. Yet it seemed so extravagant. Then i remembered the Peugeot 107. Small.. Cute.. But the last week I went on Sgcarmart, I only saw a yellow one  and it's a few years old. 

I had tested the red one before but it was quite old and my second hand car dealer friend it's not worth it. It was a pity because i love the car. It just shouts "me". 

It felt more at peace when I told my friend that Peugeot 107 is more like me. And guess what, just after the talk, I went on Sgcarmart and there it is, a two year old car, so it has one more year of warranty. There it is, a red cute Peugeot 107, monthly installment is a doable 600 plus compared to the Copen. Almost perfect. I just need to test drive it tomorrow. 

I think it's divine. I really think so.

I am SLOW

So I am getting more excited about the new place. A bit slow but I think that's the way I am. I am less excitable with ideas than I would be with something already confirmed. 

I remembered my first gf had many ideas on doing her own biz, while she was excited about her ideas, I mainly remained neutral until something was confirmed. Not that I wasn't happy for her, but I was just not so excited with ideas.

Same thing for this housing I guess. I was very thankful and grateful when i signed the papers and got this gem but I wasn't excited. My possible co-owner and the agent friend was even more excited than I was. But how as I got more involved in looking at the interior designing, I start to feel more excited. 

I am like that at work too. I hate brainstorming in groups because I find that most times, ideas go nowhere, I tend to feel more engaged when I am given choices and then I work from there.

Anyhooz, am just thankful and thankful and thankful :)

OT OT OT

Reading the OT. Interesting insights.

When God led the people of Israel out of Egypt, there was a shortcut for the people of Israel from Mount Sinai to Kadeshbarnea by way of Mount Seir. That will only take eleven days. But Moses told the people that God has other plans for them, that they will be able to claim the land that God has provided to them if they followed Moses. Halfway through, when they experienced hardships and obstacles, they complained and lost sight of the inheritance that God has planned for them.

I pray that none of us will lose sight of the inheritance promised to us when we follow Jesus. His way is surely better than our way because His thoughts are higher than our thoughts.

At TCC then Teppanyaki then TCC

During worship at TCC: His reminder to me: I rest in His faithfulness to me.

During sermon at TCC: Forgiving others doesnt mean condoning the wrong, forgetting the injustice nor the anger. Forgiving others means to reflect the grace of God in our lives.

During coffee @ TCC: the love of God surpasses all rules, regulations and boundaries.

Prompting of God

Sometimes god prompts us to make contact and sometimes he doesn't. Sometimes he does but we wouldn't. Sometimes we don't want to but when he prompts and when we are surrendered, we will.
