Serving others then yourself:)

Last Sunday Sermon was about serving God and His people.It seems like a basic fact which everyone knows but how many of us really put it into practice?

Even if we did, how many of us are doing with a genuine heart?

I must admit that many times i serve myself more than others:(

According to the worldly thinking, the person who is served and blessed by others always is the most 'xing fu' person around. And everyone will look at him/her in awe, hoping that we will be like that too one day..

But actually, according to bible, the one who has the ability to serve others is the most 'xing fu' person around instead. Cos he/she is healthy, capable enough to do this and that for the ppl..

This struck me alot as i had that kind of worldly thinking as well!

Coming to think of it, won't u want to be the one who still can serve the church and ppl than the one in wheelchairs or even on the bed, being fed by others?

As our God has very good sense of humor, He actually put me into real situation to see whether i really understand the true meaning of it..

I got a call from my manager, Tracey that she wanted me to work half day on wed and another half day on Sunday. This means that i wont get any higher pay and also i wont have any day off for this week!

To make it even worse, i asked her for subsidy on some bus fees and she rejected me..

My first impression is: Kiam Siap!

But God reminded me about serving others! How often will she ask me to work on sunday? She must be really short of workers then only she will request for it!

And so, i accepted it willingly! Amen!

Father, i did well right?? hehe..

He can turn bad into Goodness!!

Yesterday i got bad news from parents that my lil bro's SPM exam will be postponed. The last day of SPM was supposedly to be on 13th may now change to 20th dec!

This means that my lil bro may not able to attend my Grady and even the NZ trip afterwards.

There are two solutions for this:

Either my lil bro stay at home and come later to join us

OR my parents stay at home and accompany him

When i first heard, i was sooooo disappointed as i had been dreaming to celebrate this achievement with my family for soooo long..You may think that it is just a ceremony but to me it means lots more than merely ceremony.

It is a celebration which whole family comes together and testify this achievement.

It is a time which my family can get to meet my friends and experience how our lives here.

It is the shared happiness that i treasured so much.

But i know He cares! Although i dont understand His reason for this plan, but i knew He can turn bad things into Goodness!

Thank You for the peace u imparted in my heart.

I shouldn't focus on the "bad thing" so much that i lose my focus on You.

Thanks for bringing me back to fix my eyes on You!

Psalm 52:8-9

But i am like an olive tree flourishing in the house of God; I trust in God's unfailing love for ever and ever.

I will praise you forever for what you have done; in your name I will hope, for your name is good. I will praise you in the presence of your saints.

Where should i go?

Recently Tasmania Hospitals' applications for intern pharmacists are opened and i had been cracking my head to write Resume, Cover Letters, thousand words essay for selection criteria and etc..

To be able to graduate is a super hard task!

and now to write a good remarkable essay is even harder!

I had been slacking alot this week with dinners and movies.. and so decided to sit down in my room on a nice saturday night to get started with all these..

And this brought me lots of questions:

Will i want to work in Tasmania if i ever get this job?

Do i work as community pharmacist because of the high pay and parent's expectations?

Or do i work as clinical pharmacist which i have interests in?

How about singapore application? Melbourne? Perth? Hobart?

To stay or to leave?

Too many questions..But only one answer which is Jesus!

He has my answers and so i pray to u eagerly, praying that u will show me a clearer indication for where i shud be heading to.. Reveal to me and i pray that i will be obedient in whichever places u planned for me.

Most importantly, i pray that i wil pass this semester smoothly before i can even think of where shud i go..

and yeah! Thank God for putting me in my ocf as my resume looks so much better and nicer with the activities i organsied in ocf..hehe..

Touching the tip of nervousness!!!

Today after coming back from practical session, i suddenly had the sudden intense feeling that exam is very Near!!

Considering my 5 papers for this sem will be finishing off within 6 days in a row and at the first week of uni exam, i actually have one month time to prepare for it only..

With 2 assignments to pass up this fri, and 150 top medications to memorise, 20 OTC cases to remember, this week is going to be real hectic!!!

Oh Lord, i cant express how much burden i m carrying now..But i m sure u knew it all as u have the best knowledge of my heart.. I know it is hard to surrender totally but i will do it step by step!!

I pray for Your assurance, like how You gave to Gideon: The Lord is with you, O valiant warrior."

Father, You are with me and this is more than Enough!

The Mind-Blowing Easter Camp!

OOooo..This yr easter camp is really mind blowing (not saying that previous camp are not:p) and Pastor Lucas's sharing really struck me alot. Until now i am still organising and digesting all the input i had from this camp..

Even though there are times i felt super tired and burnt out, the impacts we saw and the grace God showed us had way overcome all these sleepless nights and stresses. Afterall, i should not see the opportunity of serving Him as a burden but a honor and pleasure which not everyone can have. I am very well blessed by the DINOs especially and also the anonymous angels who keep on encouraging and sharing their experiences with me throughout the camp. Thank You ppl!!!

Most importantly, i learnt to pray consistently regardless of any circumstances and to give with a generous heart!
