PRAISE GOD FOR AN AWESOME WEEK! :D :D :D

haha!im so so so happy! this whole week, it's felt like heaven is open over my life and showers of blessings are coming from above! on wed, i wanted to go morning PM w em then go for tuition and carolling afterwards. but when i woke up, i had a horrible sore throat which really pissed me off. i mean, i'm the kind of person who can always foresee a sore throat before it hits, and suddenly i get one without any warning? on a day where i really wanna go and praise and worship God and hang out with cg ppl? what are the chances man. anw, i pushed myself to go cos i figured, hey, if the dumb devil's trying so hard to stop me, there must be sth really special abt this day tht he's trying to prevent me experiencing. we were running late but thank God, emily's dad gave us a lift there (: then for tuition, it got off to a pleasant start cos my tutee turned out to be somebody i used to know from my cousin's church, and guess what, she's attended chc a couple of times! i was...haha. blown away by how mightily God answered my prayer for tutees that i can reach out to. also, i decided to give her extra tuition since i had spare time but to my surprise, her mom actually paid me extra for it! so nice :D

then before carolling, i took a nap and my throat worsened. honestly, i hate sore throats to the max cos it's usually my pre-empt to fever. but this time...i really wanted to go for carolling and i felt it was God's answer to one of my prayers...an opportunity that i'd forever regret if i missed it. God not only graced me with strength to go for carolling, he was so generous in His gift that i could talk and laugh normally through most of it rather than mope around with a sickly demeanor or downcast mood. thank you Daddy! and the best part was, lisa and alec treated me to dinner after the second night's PM and it was just...haha. it just felt nice to sit around and talk and learn from them la. spiritual parents! +mark bought me honey lemon herbal tea for my throat! whoo!

then on friday, lisa blessed me with a new book to read and yesterday, i went xinying's house to learn guitar and she lent me a book too! haha! coolness. yea and xinying and i spent alot of time talking about spiritual stuff etc and i think i've learnt alot from that experience. i just feel very strongly that God wants me to learn from other leaders and not just confine it to people i always talk to. so honestly, when i had the opp to talk to xy, heh. i dont have words to describe how glad i was. spiritual stuff aside, i think i got to know and love and respect her alot more. i told xy that i felt it wasn't a chance encounter, that God wanted us to talk for a reson. and guess what, 90% of the stuff we touched on yst was discussed by pastor kong today! LOL. double mention! i better go do some serious reflection on it.

then lastly, jeff blessed me by lending me his old guitar! haha! YAY! adrian took me to penisula to re-string my guitar and he treated me to a brand new pack of guitar strings (: haha eh i dunno what jeff did to his guitar but it's hilarious, when adrian re-strung it, it literally went to pieces LOL. screws and whatnot fell off all over the place o.o but i feel bad la cos the thinnest string snapped again and it cut adrian so he was bleeding. then guess what, adrian went down to get me yet another string (right before the shop closed! good timing or what :D) and he refused to let me pay for it again. wow. and i think i really benefitted from some spiritual stuff that he was teaching me too.....i just feel really really really blessed (:

i'm just so bowled over by the love God has shown me this week...i wanna grow stronger and be a better light for Christ too.
