expansion

i have learnt how to fix a ceiling light today!!
my bedroom light blew off a few days ago and i had to use my bedside lamp for work at night.
pretty bad for the eyes.
daddy bought new light bulb today and taught me how to fix it(:
yay in case of similar cases in the future, i will know to fix it myself!

had been busy with PW stuff these couple of days.
haven't been watching online dramas):
perhaps i just haven't found a good show to catch yet.

-----------------------------------------------------

yesterday went for service and Pst Kong shared an awesome message which came pretty timely for most of us!

7 kinds of sufferings:

1) Storm of life
2) Chastening
3) Temptation
4) Spiritual Warfare
5) Afflictions
6) Persecutions
7) Trials of faith

All in all, it just means that it is the nature of life to be stormy and we must be prepared for both blessing and adversity. And being persecuted is a privilege because it just means you are entrusted and honoured for bigger things in life despite having to suffer for it. In a way, it is a gift!

Trials of faith requires patience and patience is perseverance and perseverance is the capacity to endure. Truly, your attitude determines your altitude.

And spiritually, the more God wants to use you, the more the devil plots against you. For one reason, the devil is jealous. Jealous of your close relationship with God. Once you condemn, judge and accuse, you are actually doing the devil's work! Scary huh.

Another thing is to encourage yourself when there's no one encouraging you. This makes us someone who is positive and not someone who is always depressed.

yes, it doesn't mean if you're righteous, you won't suffer.
often, successful people are people who worked the hardest and suffered the most.
yeah!!

i am so encouraged by this message!!

i presume now most of us are suffering under the storms of life.
since promos results came as a blow for some of us.
well, there's hope, there's hope.

have your heard of seeing a rainbow after a storm? or have you experienced it?
cause i must say this is really true!!

maybe we should stop blaming the promo papers for being difficult or the teachers who set these horrible papers. maybe it just have got to do with our own attitude.

Though He will slay me, I will still hope in Him.
