I have been meditating much on Prov 9 .. about how to avoid foolishness and go in the way of understanding.
Sometimes, it is such a challenge that I feel that I am like a 'schizophrenic'...playing many roles and having to exercise wisdom and understanding in different scenarios.
Suppose the only way is like the wise man in vs 10 .. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
Believe that this will drive us to know the character of the Father much better and have a deeper understanding of what He is like and thinks.....

Relieved Yet Again
Today I went to HDB for an interview with an officer and in a way, I was pleased to know that my application for the Home Loan Eligibility was not approved. Basically, I did not have sufficient supporting documents to apply.
Guess, this was a clear clear sign that the Lord has closed this door for me. I was praying before that and asking God for direction and guidance. Indeed He has proven Himself true again! Thanks, Lord! Phew, am I relieved! My heart feels very settled and very much at ease.
At least I know that this is not the time for this activity under the sun. It will give me 3 more months or more to sort out terms and conditions with KA in order to get substantial documentation for application in the near future.

Featuring Kooky Art
God has been so good to me .. that on many occasions, I can only sit and marvel at the way the Lord orchestrates my life. Just last week, I received an email from a writer who was looking for a party organiser to profile and and Yes, you guessed it! I will be featured in The New Paper and The Straits Times Recruit page quite soon.
We just had a simple interview and a photography session this afternoon. All praise goes to God ... pray that the article turns out well and that there will be many opportunities for me to testify of the Lord's goodness and mercy!

G12 Retreat
Hey, never in the history of my G12 have we had such an early morning retreat.
We met at 5.45 a.m. at the East Coast Parkway where we had an hour of personal time with the Lord and then corporate worship and sharing.
It was so wonderful to spend time interacting and pouring our hearts before the Lord and to each other.
We want to be hungry for God and all that matters to Him .... we want to live for eternity rather than for that which is temporal. We are committed to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness ... and all these things shall be added to us. If the souls of man and the Word of God is of utmost importance, we want to make it a priority to pursue after 'food' that will last. John 6:27.
We really should do this more often ... lol!

Burdens
The Lord has been laying heavy burdens on my heart recently. Guess they are all to be committed to Him in much prayer ...
1) The condition of our hearts with regards to kingdom matters ... how we are investing our time and money? Particularly, to the pressing needs around us ....
2) The attitudes and responses when we serve the Lord and be served by God's people. Leadership challenges ....
3) Mindsets and paradigms that needs to be shifted and changed if there are negative patterns rearing its ugly head. Thought patterns ....

Stand Alone
I was so busy conducting a 2-day Kooky Art Camp the last two days .... Fruitful but rather tiring.
God taught me many precious lessons during that time ... One was, when I brought one of my tuition kids for the camp. He is being home schooled and when he was exposed to the 'world', he manifested many characteristics or behaviours which were rather shocking ... He had to learn to stand alone and be different.
No wonder the Bible tells us that we have to be the LIGHT in this dark world or that 'We are to be in the World but NOT of it'.

Facing The Giant II
Guess what? I received a letter from HDB today that an appointment has been scheduled for me next week...they would like to re-evaluate my application during the appointment. Am praying that the Lord's will be done in this. He has good plans for me, I know!
The fact is, my heart feels very much at ease and peaceful. I know that every door that the Lord opens, no man can shut. But, if He closes the door, no matter how hard we try to force our way in, God's purpose and plan stays.
I want to learn to submit to His good and perfect will for my life!

Count My Blessings
Last night before I went to bed, I realised that I was so blessed! I received 3 "edible" blessings in a day .... WOOOW!
1) C offered me home-made 'AChar', which is my favourite dish with fried fish. And her AChar is superb ... has lots of sesame seeds and nuts.
2) L offered me 3 home-made 'Bak-chang', which is grandma's favourite. It was really her labour of love which I appreciated.
3) And my dear A, brought a melon all the way to my doorstep . The melon was so delicious and juicy and my nephew and niece enjoyed it tremendously.
What a blessing of provision! God is such a wonderful God ... He sure knows what we need before we even utter a word. No wonder, Ps 139 says ... Before a word is on my tongue, You know it completely O Lord.
