I miss this crazy looking girl. When I was messaging her today, one of her reply came back "SOTONG!" So old-school! But i like, such a familiar tone.

Eirene and i were supposed to have breakfast with the lower sec girls today!! However, all of them overslept. So we ended up discussing about Romans 10 with Kenneth. -_-"
About righteousness by faith and righteousness by works. I think Philippians 3:9 sums it up. "and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ-the righteousness that comes from God and is by faith."

Last week was emotionally draining. I was even starting to get into that emo-state. However, before i got sucked into that, i remembered writing down after one of my QTs."When things don't go your way or when you don't see the way ahead, don't be discouraged. God has His plans for you, but executed in His perfect timing.
Because"as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts." Is 55:9
When i read that, i felt so comforted. Things took a turn, or at least, my perspective did. It's NOT about me, but its about Him. Sara once shared with me this song that was composed by someone from YFC. Although i don't know the tune, but the song really spoke to me and i would like to share with all who read my blog! :)

Strangers in the world

The day You saved me
Your love so gripped me
What mattered in past
Become ties to be cut
Your Word made me see
My life couldn't be
The same as the world
When i follow Thee

*chorus

The journey of faith
Your Spirit You gave
To show me Your way
Should I go astray
But often I do
Prone to sin, grieving You
Lord, please do hold my hand
With Your strength i shall stand

*chorus

Towards heaven my home
My Lord, I'll behold
Where tears no more flow
Death no longer holds
So onward i go
Your glory's my goal
So help me O Lord
That my steps may be bold

*Chorus:
I'm set apart a stranger in this
world
No more at home at peace with the ways of this
world

Your spirit keeps me going in
this race
Till I meet You in a better place
Until then i really need Your
grace
(When I fall Lord you will pick me
up
Lord please keep me faithful to the
end)

Recently, one of my members told me that to be set apart from the world is a difficult task. She had everything in her life planned out. However, through the process of praying, reading the bible, being still, the trails she faced, happy times, fears, frustrations, she realized that it's God who brings her through it all. It is not by her own strength , but through all these, it helped her to draw closer to the Father, to have a closer relationship with Him. My heart was just filled with thanksgiving. His working in her life is really encouraging! Romans 5:3-5
Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirite, whom he has given us. Amen!

Last Friday, i went Siglap Coffee Club to study! Absolutely productive. I completed 7 sets of Econs notes! OH MY! I was listening to my music halfway when i heard my name being called out! For a moment i thought it was Selvam screaming my name out loud again! haha. Turned out it was only Romans, Becky and Porter who were popping by to say hello. You know, actually such visits is quite a stress-reliever! Alright people, you know what to do next time.

Exams start on Friday! Ho-hum.
