So do hope to hear from you guys :)
As for life.. haha.. this is my 2nd day back at work after a week's break and I'm craving for my break! haha. Another intern and I just realised that our next break will be Good Friday. So unless my company gives us more off which I doubt they will, my next break will only be Good Friday.
I thank god for this opportunity for doing my industrial attachment to give me a taste of working life. It's really not easy juggling work,family, friends and ministry. And I don't have to bring work home and i'm already experiencing the lack of time. So imagine what it'd be like for our leaders who have to bring work home to do. prepare teachings.meet people. etc.
I was whining to god about how i'm lacking the time to do what i need to do - prepare for shepherings, spending time with god, doing reflection( i'm currently reading He chose the nails by max lucado and it has a study guide with questions..been wanting to answer them /pen them down but haven't been able to) read my HR reading, having more sleep etc etc.. and it dawned on me that only at times like this that I learn to depend on god on what I need to accomplish and when I do, I'd know its done by god's grace and it was made possible because god intervened. Jehovah Jireh- the lord our provider.
So even as school gets busier for all of you guys (for me as well) , projects assign mid terms, do remember its these times of stress that we should depend more on god and commit our 'to do' lists into god's hands.
Hope to hear from you guys soon!

Hey!
Personally, I love reading blogs rather than writing them ha. For various reasons, it's been a really really looong time since I shared or wrote anything online..
Maybe I'll take a small step here by sharing a lil:
Think many people are puzzled as to why I work so hard, teaching tuition while studying. Actually, it's not much of a struggle at all. Currently, I've 5 students, which means 10 tuition hrs a wk. Spread out over a 5-day work wk, this means working just 2 hrs a day, for 2k a month! Where to get jobs like this nowadays? So the time commitment isn't a lot, and in fact I'm still looking for students! I can take 2-3 more, so if you guys know of any, can recommend haha!
But if i had to choose between my studies and tuition, naturally it'll be tuition. I can fail my modules, but my students cannot fail their chemistry. This is my teaching motto.
Giving tuition generates very strong cash flow for me right now, which is a good thing. Especially because I'm not planning to work (in the 8-5 sense) after I grad. So if things don't work out, at least I still have plenty of cash, so I don't need to beg on the streets! =p
So tuition for me is something like a job right now. One that takes precedence over my studies anytime!
ANd btw, I check the blog everyday too! To listen to the worship songs mainly haha... Although I do check out the updates section also! =)

Hmmm.... I am kinda lazy to log into the blog to update my life.
I finally reached back to a point of normality in my r/s with God. The doubts do not come so often and I am trying to make sense of whatever I read in the Bible. Small steps towards the big steps.
I was quite inspired by Min Er and her prayer sheet. I am deciding to try it out. I.E. pray for some people and events everyday. Changing the content everyday so as not to make it a rote. I will pray for the same thing if I do not see improvement or gain enlightenment, but just not the next day.
I would like to ask that you guys pray for me to have discipline in my workplace, at home and most importantly, away from either. Been wasting my time these few weeks. Not reading my readings and not having the urgency to complete my reports.
I'll talk more at a personal level maybe next time. Some things are better left off the public domain where unfriendly (read random people not people we know) eyes can see and abuse. :P
