Word of wisdom:
The proud and greedy never rest; the poor and humble in spirit rest in great peace. Anyone who is not completely free from the grip of his own vanity is easily tempted and is toppled by small, trifling things.
I pray that my spirit will be poor and humble.

I learnt the importance of continuous praise from pastor’s sermon last sunday. Even if the situation may not be in my favour, I should continue to praise Him. Praising Him continuously till something in the spiritual realm changes and my heart and the peace of God resides in my heart. It is a truth which is valuable to me as I felt needed to praise Him on many occasions when I feel things are not going well and the understanding on the need to continue praising Him till something changes within me brought a deeper understanding of praise.

I thank God for the past 4 days. Somehow the days are all packed and although I didn’t have much of a time to revise my work, it was a fulfilling 4 days being in the company of good friends from different areas of my life. Sendoff@airport, dance, family dinner, BBQ, KBox. I won’t take this busyness for granted but give thanks for having these people in my life for me to spend time with and to fellowship as well. Indeed, through this half of the sem, I've learnt not to complain about how packed my schedule is or that I don't have enough time to rest but instead, I'm learning to appreciate the commitments and the activities God has placed in my life through my family and friends. He placed me here not to live life alone but in the company of people so that relationships can be established and built upon.

A thankful heart and spirit....
