A vision:
Black skeleton man (stick man), without flesh, walking wobbly and weakly.
God said:
What's more important? Your body which i've created or the pleasures of the world?
Is all that you have sufficient for the rest of the journey in your life? Am i not your sole provider?
I say:
Yes Lord, i admit sometimes i push myself so that i may enjoy the best of both worlds. This time, i choose to answer your call, not to do what i want to do but what you want for me. Grant me courage.
Add flesh with bones.
Now a complete man creates.

Planting.
Just had my quiet time...having quiet time at 2.30pm?? Haha...yeaps...not for my loads of work and training at night, i would gladly spend that time at night. Well, nonetheless, its not when but how right?! Heh...yea. Anyway today's my free day...soo...boo!
All i have for God were all the WHYs. God was firm with me...gave me a picture and spoke to me. I was totally in awe! Seriously!
He gave a picture of someone planting. To plant u gotta dig a hole, put the seed and cover up the hole. To make sure the plant grows, you gotta need water sunlight and all the scientific stuffs. Yes, thats what my God has been doing in my life for the pass few miserable yet beneficial months... He told me," I've planted a few seeds in your heart, it's all the digging that's making your heart ache. But since you have pulled through the pains, now come the reward. Before enjoying the rewards, you gotta reach your hand towards me, so that i can pour forth my blessings into your life and so the seeds can grow." Awesome.
"...You aren't swayed by men, because you pay no attention to who they are; but you teach the way of God in accordance with the truth..." (Mark 12:14) -Woooaooo how i wish i can be like that too...
Well, yesterday went to this abandoned railway track with my ODAC friends for recee at sunset way. Pretty cool! We climbed through tunnels and walk the dirty big drains (picture below). It's really cool and fun and...yeaps...i fell on my butt cause of the slippery ALGAE!! Though i think i won't go back again...not to cause my fun experience into a dreadful one! (You know when u get too sick of something when u eat them too much...yea...)
Yups...time for work and training! :)

Facing Your Giants
Amazing battle David had with Goliath. Many read it as a novel or just another fantasy story. But the fact is, it's a real life story! From how he was chosen and how God prepared His way. Despite commiting one of the bad-dest sin, God named him-A man after His own heart.
To be truthful, i did not start my year well, which all along i wanted to and i thought i am going to. Aftermath of bad experiences and all that i do not wish to happen all happened to mean right at the start of the year! :|
Seriously, there are also times when i really cannot do my QT at all. It seems like God is trying to let me out in the wilderness myself for a while to learn some stuffs! But i gotta admit, things are just so so hard without Him. Tried having days in your life having training in the morning, studying in the noon and training again at night? Who on earth will have the strength to do QT? Yeaps...life has been like this for me for the past 1 month. I know clearly that the tradeoff would be my r/s with God. No doubt through this experience, i've made awesome friends from hall and i don''t regret. But i want God...more than anything else. I want that passion and all the great times i had with Him everyday again!
Yeaps...people in life do teach you lessons or two. One of my friend did. I learnt so so much. All that i thought i'm good at was proven wrong in this incident i had. All along i thought i had enough experiences and skills to deal with this issue...but i was so wrong. I need God. I need to trust Him all over again.
In Christ alone,
I place my trust.
And find my glory in the power of the cross.
In every victory,
Let it be said of Him.
My source of strength,
My source of hope,
In Christ alone.
God led me to a book in my sister's cupboard. Facing your Giants-Max Lucado. Though i'm not done with it, the first 3 chapters impacted me a lot!
Actually my blog speaks alot...since i stopped blogging for a while, yeap thats the period of time where i really had my uuppps and ddoownns.. Boohoo. But now I thought to myself, i must stand up and answer His call again. And Joanne will never be the same again! :)
