..the beads and p*sses of dumbo-no-more

His love endures forever!

i wanna give praise to my King!
Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
becos His love endures forever.
He is good; He's above all things! His Love endures forever! I want to sing praise...

He is good to me not because I have done things for him neither because He sees that I haven't been sinning...
Even when I have sinned or still fall into temptations at times, He gave His son to die for me...and because of my sinless Jesus died, I can face today and tmr and the future!
He is on my side because I accepted Jesus into my life!

Romans 5:6-11 - the passage mentioned at the last BAG group resonated clearly within me.
It's the silence to think and ponder and know the significance of the passage and had enabled to overcome the challenges i had met for the last one week.

"You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. "

"Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God's wrath through him! For if, when we were God's enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life! Not only is this so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation."

last week i had dificulties getting my research participants... by Sunday, i had 6 pairs of siblings when i needed 3 to work with.

and i am excited to share with you the following!

On monday, my supervisor told me that i looked tired. and i admitted...i told her i was panicky and i had to distribute time and effort for my research and pdt. I began to feel panicky becos i haven't done up my literature review and she had also told me that my theoretical assumptions, concept maps and interview questions were 'everywhere!'... she told me that she knew such things would happen to me when i told her my class will have a pdt lined up this mid term break. Thank God she didn't go further because my tired mind would become very congested. congested with her suggestions and her nagging and the negative self talk would have surfaced eventually.

So i met chek for lunch, feeling rather down and tired...so i headed home to rest.
on the way home, i sent prayer requests out to my dear cell group members and classmates to pray for direction and wisdom to plan for my ism and also for peace.

I slept when i got home, as advised.
I woke up,wanting to revisit my ism...but i SUDDENLY FELL SICK

suddenly: within 15min
fell sick: sneeze x10times, nose leaking, then whole nose blocked, sore throat, feeling weak and i knew i couldnt stay up to do revise my work. HOW!

i sent out another prayer requests to my dear CG members and friends... so desperate le!
HOW CAN I NOT PRAY! must pray... that's the most powerful tool then i thought. (i really thought so leh... quite instinctly i thought i needed Christ's help)

so well, i prayed too... very simple prayer. sentence dun need to flow coherently, nicely...so talked and asked for mercy and good sleep.
(i guess i must have scare a few friends!)
and i woke up at 10plusam on Tues, and at about 12 noon, I have RECOVERED completely!

my dear came to visit me somemore! and i was very happy to see her!

i went to meet my research participants too!

i worked out my literature review, my conceptual maps... and slept at 2plus...leaving 2 items undone... i felt the Spirit telling me 'it's enough, go sleep.'

the next day, i boarded the train at simei at 855am. NO crowd! have seat for me. so i worked out my framework. YAY! done just before i reached clementi! reached school at 10am, ready to meet with my supervisor! but she has a meeting she can't leave!
so i worked out my interview questions! When i had just finished checking my interview questions, she's ready to meet me!

During that meeting, she told me that the work was much better!...and much better... hmm, see u rest and u could think! and the back of my mind was how AMAZING my God is. so with 'much better..., and i think you can start your interviews ...', i left her office, literally jumping with joy and excited to share this wonderful piece of testimony.
(These happen from Sun to Wed noon: 90hrs!... including sleep time, travelling time, slacking time, talking time, falling sick time!...woot!)

To all who despair, come to the Father.
He shall give you rest and without you knowing, u are soaring sky high like an eagle...so proud and so excited!
