Heart Of Praises

Had a tyre blown out, then a few days later check engine symbol came out...initially was frustrated especially when it happened so close and at the start of CNY but I think all things worked together for good...things to be thankful is that the tyre did not blow out in the middle of the expressway, that will definitely be more dangerous and inconvenient.

A time to celebrate with your loved ones, interesting there are many Chinese traditions that have parallels with Christian beliefs like not speaking evil for 15 days (Chinese), blessing each other with short sentences of blessings like 祝你: 心想事成 Ps 37:4. God will grant you the desires of your heart. 万事如意 Rom 8:28. All things work for the good of those who love the Lord. 岁岁平安 Ph 4:7. The peace of God will guard your hearts & minds. 事业有成 Jer 29:11. For I know my plans for you, plans to prosper you. 新年快乐!

After being away for 1.5 years from my school, there was definitely a sense of nostalgia when I returned, there were a couple of changes, both structurally and in a relational sense. I have been humbled and awed by the Lord's goodness, in everything that He has provided, truly the time away has been worth it...I had a paradigm shift, I am happy and glad to be back in school...somehow He has put the extraordinary back into the ordinary things... I think I have a better small glimpse of what these verses meant... 'I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength.' - Philippians 4:11-13 Praise You Lord!! =)
