Tuesday

I love the cool weather. Singapore's "snow" for the December season... hahaha. The wind's been blowing all day and it feels like about 24 degrees celsius. The colourful windmill that Elaine gave me for Christmas has come in handy. Actually, it's meant to be stuck in the plant pots but it makes do as a nice decoration as well. :) Looking forward to the New Year. I like this year much better than last year, well... mostly. :) The experiential learning in NP has made learning new subjects interesting, applicable and fun. I remember that I didn't want to go to NP initially because of the stereotypes about poly and all but I'm SO thankful and glad that God placed me in NP, if not I wouldn't have joined the Navs also. :)

Top 10 things I'm thankful to God for...

In line with thanksgiving on Sunday, here are my top 10 things that I'm thankful to God for. Actually thanks also to S.M. who reminded me to think of my top 10 thanksgiving items to God. :)

I thank God for...

1. Bringing me through 1 1/2 semesters of my first year in poly.
2. Sustaining the family 
3. Navigators!
4. Refining me 
5. That I didn't fall sick often, especially during times when I felt like I was falling sick
6. His Strength and Comfort
7. a balanced and more hands-on curriculum in PCS compared to last year
8. sorrow, despair, trials and discouragement through which I've drawn closer to God and learned to run to Him.
9. Awesome parents 
10. an unchanging, unfailing, loving Father :)  

The Steadfast Love of the LORD never ceases

Each day comes and goes. It has its challenges, its fun, joy, woe. But the steadfast love of the LORD never ceases. This week has been quite hectic but an enriching and interesting one with fun-filled and content-filled new modules. There's a lot to absorb. I've also been attending QT fellowship in the morning before classes start. I love spending time with HIM everyday and it definitely is an important start to my day! Thank you LORD for today.

Getting busy

School is starting soon. Next week I'll be having orientation and school starts on the following Monday. I'm excited and nervous at being in a new environment.I've been praying for God to provide some godly Christian friends and to prepare my heart to be discerning.

Besides school starting, I've been partly 'dragged' (that's because I also partly agreed) to be part of the concert coming up. I hope that I'll be able to memorise the pieces, especially the repeats and that I won't forget because I'll not be able to practice for the 2 days that I'll be at orientation. There's also children's camp craft preparation. My leadership skills are really bad and well I've not been really focusing on it as I should have, honestly. I've still a lot to learn and am learning to take constructive feedback. Haha, have to keep telling myself not to be lazy and not to be self-defensive! Surely, God is teaching me something through this. :)

The 4 month hiatus from studying is about to end. Actually, although I'm not studying, there are other things that keep me busy, so I won't say that I'm very free in a way even though many people think so. :D

Thank God for this day!
