INDUSTRIAL TRAINING PROGRAMME - PX

EFFECTIVE PEOPLE MANAGEMENT - B+

INSIGHT INTO THE TOURISM INDUSTRY - D+

FUNDAMENTALS OF LASER TECHNOLOGY - B+

SYSTEMS SECURITY - D+

i can't believe it...

my WSAS is actually better than my SS... i was more worried for WSAS initially and thot i would score better in SS... thank God i did not fail my 2nd attempt at SS...



another big surprise is that i got B+ for my project!

i've never imagined i would get such a good grade...

my supervisor has told me that doing an e-commerce website for FYP would most likely earn a C or D grade as alot of people are doing e-comm sites for their FYP...

and even more so because i major in e-comm and have an upper hand in this area, thus scoring is not easy...

and all of us in IT also know of this.. but many of us still went ahead to do e-comm...



i was quite ready to receive a grade such as that...

but never would i imagine i got a B+....

guess the effort that i put in did paid off, plus committing it in prayer thruout...

THANK AND PRAISE UNTO GOD!!!!!



what a great start to a day...

waking up and realising i have a sms from sch... that knocked the sleepiness out of me...

mumbled a prayer and click open... so happy!!!

i immediately ran to my mum and told her abt it, then i smsed ivy



although i did not fair that fantastic for this sem but i do know that i've picked up to be more serious in my work..



having to juggle an extra module which i failed...

plus i m the first batch of ngee ann students who have 3 additional IS modules every sem (previous batches only have 1 FYP n 1 module for entire sem)... so my workload was super heavy...

plus FYP made me stayed in sch often till library closes at 9pm..

plus having to juggle ministry work, cell, prayer meetings and weekend church activities

plus having to support my family in the times of difficulties...

plus OP's outreach (my report was due 3 days after the outreach!!!)



it was quite a fair bit...

i know i couldnt have sustained thru all these without God's strength and guidance in this...

it is simply a case of glorifying God thru dedicating my time and putting him first in everything i do...

i did struggled... but i'm glad that i did not back out and choose otherwise...

in fact.. it's ONLY when i put God first then EVERYTHING ELSE fits into place and balance up...

plus reward for faithfulness!



GOD.. I THANK YOU SOOOOOOO MUCH

*MUUUAAAAHHKKKKKKK*

YOU TAUGHT ME TO BE FAITHFUL!!

I SHALL TELL AND TESTIFY SO THAT OTHERS WILL ALSO BE BLESSED!! :-D




In everything you do put God first and He will direct you and crown your efforts with success

Proverbs 3:4


AMEN!

been having a bad week with my mum this week...

we had an argument because i shrugged her off when i was busy... and she took it as i dont respect her...

hurled insults at my religion such as how do i honour God when i dont respect my parents...

she thinks i don't care abt the family

when what i've been doing is caring in a different manner...



shrugging her off was a grave error on my part...

i've apologised and admitted my wrongs on my knees... cried like nobody's business...

r

but she's still ignoring me.. it's been 5 days... it's pretty unbearable because i really cherish my family...



---



been juggling my family and ministries ever since my exams are over...

thankfully God has helped me in various areas...

even in the advancement of His ministries in WAC which he has placed me in...



not much ppl can really understand what i m going thru because there are certain matters i have been instructed to keep to myself

it hurts bad to keep it to myself... and prob can only disclose a little to ivy..



feeling the burden and biting my teeth to perservere because i don't want my doings to affect my parents' salvation...





being the eldest in the family... i wasn't one who cared much before until recently when God pointed out to me that i should put more effort into my r/s with my family...

especially their salvation..

realised that testimony is really something that we have to persevere for Christ

evangelism doesnt come without a cost...





been taking extra effort to gel my relationship with my 2 brothers

taking extra care of my youngest brother...

to reprimand and correct him of his mistakes... to let him see what's wrong instead of screaming and scolding him all day...





family asides...

in church...

having to support and lend a hand to tackle problems encountered in ministry...

sometimes i really asked God "why?? why can't these people be more sensible? and stop being so selfish"

i had to remind myself that God will change ppl.... because i really can't...





feeling burdened to guide the younger youths...

especially those who were outcast from the youths...

i was once a person who despise those younger than me... deeming their behavior childish until God had to remind me that He loves us ALL the same

and these who have no much good friends in church are most vulnerable to leave church...

i have no idea when this transformation happened... but i know who made it happen.. God



pastor mentioned before...

if we want to reach out and welcome/bring ppl into church

we have to close the back door...

and i realised... it's at the expense of our own comfort...





so much revelation...

so much grace...

i m feeling much better...

had Ephesians 4:26 to remind me and i called my aunt to cry out my aching heart.. something which i seldom do...

satan propped cigarettes... hurling of abuse back at my mum... hunger strikes... into my brain

but i'm glad that i did not sin...





at least even in bad times..

i know He's real

and He taught me how to praise and worship Him with no part of me held back despite circumstances



God, Please forgive me...

Please give me that extra bit to endure...

and learn to be more like you

Thank you for your guidance...

Fall





I love to worship you My God

I love to worship you My Lord

And see your spirit fall in power

Your love unfolding

Gifts from heaven



I love to worship you my God

I love to worship you my Lord

And feel your precious

Breath from heaven

Your all consuming love



CHORUS

Holy Spirit come in power

Change my heart

I want to live for you my God



Let your spirit come in power

Change my life

That I may live for you my Lord

Fall on us Lord





So I yearn for you

Long to see you move

O, I lift my hands before my king

And pray

There is a fable about a meeting that took place in hell.

Satan gathered his demons and asked them, “What can we do to prevent the message from going out? What shall we tell people?”

One worker raised his hand and said, “I will go up and tell them that there never was a Christ.”

The devil shouted at him, “You’ve got to be crazy! There’s more historical evidence for Christ than for Herod!”

Another worker said, “I will tell them that Christ never rose from the dead.” But Satan said, “Then why were his disciples so transformed?”

The meeting got very quiet.

Finally one of them said, “All right, I have a plan. I’ll tell them there really is a bible, and it’s true.

I’ll tell them there really is a Christ, and He’s powerful.

I’ll tell them that Christ is coming again to judge the world. He really is coming.

But I will tell them this:

They don’t have to worry about it yet. There is plenty of time!

And Satan exclaimed, "That’s the plan. That will succeed"
