well well, we're almost going into the 4th week of school now! there are so many things happening each day that tires me out at times, but i'm so glad and grateful for my life and the people around me =) that's what makes life interesting, isnt it? the many obstacles, yet having friends and family around me to spice things up. God's truly amazing at how He makes everything fall nicely into place.
good news of the day (alright, maybe my day): david's report is looking quite alright so far! let's continue to pray dear brothers and sisters =)
i guess things are quite alright in school too. im changing my habits of doing work late now and really trying to keep up. and tennis trainings are finally finalised! will need to train harder and build my stamina too hahaha. yi rong's doing a great job as captain =) oh yah and about one of the previous posts where i said she did her math papers real fast, no she's not a scholar, and ok she took the whole day doing the papers, so it's pretty long. heh heh, her math is so many times better than mine still.

here are some thoughts from my quiet time today. it's the one about having faith of a mustard seed, one that has so much potential to grow and it will if we work towards what we've prayed for, and when it grows we will definitely see great things happen.
Recently, I’ve been thinking and reflecting a lot about my faith in God. Every day, I face the world that is so full of temptations and wrongdoings, even in school where so many people claim to be Christians but whom I also hear vulgarities from or are so led by the world. When David’s condition struck us all yesterday, I questioned the reason for this to happen, but i knew that I must still continue having faith in the Lord that He will take care of everything, and God must have his reasons for letting this happen. Such a thing can easily shake someone’s faith, making them blame God for this. But thinking deeper, I realized that we should focus on the good that has come out of it. Not only are his parents studying the bible, all of us are also reflecting a lot on our lives and how we’ve taken so many things for granted. Through something, God can certainly bring many more times of good things to us. And that’s the faith I choose to have; that God really is in control and that He loves us unconditionally. If it’s his will, let us all accept it and see what other things God has in store for us. Let’s all too trust in the Lord that He’ll bring us far spiritually and one day to heaven, and for now, treasure the Christian life we have and make the best out of it, bringing many more souls into the kingdom of God. I want and need to always build my faith higher, knowing from the start that God can perform miracles and not being shocked when my prayers are answered. So I pray so much that I’ll have courage to share my faith with my friends and with my mom too. I know that it’s tough cause of my mom’s tendency of not being open and my friends who aren’t interested in knowing about God either. Instead of worrying so much about this, I have to learn to trust in God that he has his plans and I have to do what I can now, like being a righteous daughter so that I can gradually interest my mom and share with her what it’s like to be a true Christian, and also being a friend that shines for God and someone who’s not of the world. Life can be fragile, but our faith certainly cannot be.

.the narrow path.
"I tell you the truth,
until heaven and earth disappear,
not the smallest letter,
not the least stroke of a pen,
will by any means disappear until everything is accomplished."
