thankful

i am thankful.

that i was placed at a pretty good attachment company.
though it's far from my home.

but it's pretty good..

was complaining when i first saw how much i was gonna be paid (a few months back) but then i realised i got more than most of my classmates...
(though of course there's that nagging thought that the biz sch people get much higher! heh, are bankers and accountants rly more skill-ded than chemists??? ;P HAHAHA jk! )
so.. yea, i AM very thankful! to Him of course...

colleagues all friendly ppl (there're only 4...)
fun attachment partner... who's a fellow believer too!
interesting job scope, rather than sai kang like filing etc. thankful for that.... though of course, it gets stressful as my boss/supt briefs us on our projects.

high expectations which i doubt i can exceed and excel.
i never did, of any expectations thrust on me.
never excelled.


back to the topic of my allowance... i wonder why sometimes i tend to complain for the sake (not sahkae :D ) of it.
some of us will of course say it's therapeutic.

it's therapeutic to complain and whine and kp and kp and complain and whine.
with of course very polite and civilised language.
VERY.

some say it's therapeutic because it allows us to thrash it out and vent it out...

is it really?

or do we just want to?
we choose to actually.

oh wells, i think thankfulness is a better therapy!

give thanks in a complaining society.
and while we're at it, why not give thanks for the complaining society you're in...

it's true leh!
(as if we didn't know that)

but we choose not to.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ps im also thankful for last week.

went ubin on thurs and had a potluck on fri....

ubin becuz God rly answered our prayers and provided the perfect weather for the 6 of us.

transitions

they always say that our lives' transitions are little tests of faith.

and it seems like almost everyone i know now is going through some sort of transition in church.
the webs now have their wgs streamlined and re-shuffled. transition
the people closer to me in church are those in my age-group (who're 19-20) are now moving from web to rays. transitions
and for others, IDT. transitions
new age group, new cell groups, new timings, new clashes, new experience, new prorities???

and i wonder if like the many before, we'll fall away at such a time.
and i am really concerned for certain bros and sisters of mine who may have been strong once, but now because of all these... .....
and for myself too.
what if i one day go away?
what if one day i choose to give up this marathon?
what if one day i just choose to take it easy?

i realised that circumstances don't cause us to fall away, or sin for that matter.
but we choose to. it is a deliberate and we will like to think of it as a rational bo pian circumstancial choice we have made well.
we choose to fall away.
we choose to sin.
and it's a choice people will surely say "eeyur of course don't want lah". but we know the outcomes..........

quote of day : "If circumstances find us in God, we'll find God in our circumstances"

an understatement of The Love of God


i like songs laden with rich lyrics.
i guess it really is an understatement...

The love of God is greater far
Than tongue or pen can ever tell
It goes
beyond the highest star
And reaches to the lowest hell
The guilty pair,
bowed down with care
God gave His Son to win
His erring child He
reconciled
And pardoned from his sin

Could we with ink the ocean fil
And were the skies of parchment made
Were every stalk on earth a quill
And every man a scribe by trade

To write the love of God above
Would drain the ocean dry
Nor could the scroll contain the whol
Though stretched from sky to sky

Hallelujah (3x)

O love of
God, how rich and pure!
How measureless and strong!
It shall forevermore
endure
The saints' and angels' song



song here in my multiply...

To keep Your lovely face
Ever before my eyes
This is my prayer
Make it my strong desire
That in my secret heart
No other love competes
No rival throne survives
And I serve only You.

what if....

...i have to extend my polytechnic life by around 6 months?
because of my discipline.
rather... the lackof.

oh wells.

song in my mind... :

"All things work for our good.
Though sometimes we don’t see how they could.
Struggles that break our hearts in two
Sometimes blind us to the truth.
Our Father knows what best for us he ways are not our own. ...
.
.
.
He’s see the master plan and He hold our future in His hand.
So don’t live as those who have no hope, for our hope is found in Him.
We see the present clearly, but he see the first and the last
And like a tapestry He’s weaving you and me to someday be just like Him.
.
.
.
trust His heart."


am i prepared to face the consequence?
6months/ a semester of time.
isn't small.

purpose for everything lah.......... trust lor.
