a long night

Can't really sleep again..always happens during the hols, then when school starts, whether it's work or studying, I can't seem to get enough of it..hee..

Had lunch today with meiling and sabrina, it was fun chatting with u gals today, but probably we could try another type of buffet next time, tim sum perhaps? :)

Then followed Sabie all the way to NUS cos she had some stuff to do there and I wanted somewhere quiet to do my LPs. Never really had the chance to look around NUS before cos I go to the other uni near church..or rather went..i guess my student life is over for now..at least the next few yrs..till i get the chance to pick up books to study again, but right now i have to focus on helping people to study, thinking of ways to make lessons fun for them, yet making sure they do learn something, that's something i hope to do in every lesson i teach. Which is why having the Holy Spirit in a person is so important, so He'll give you the creativity you need to do His will. And i admit, I'm not that good at some of the subjects i teach my kids either, sometimes i need to reread science textbooks several times and look for other materials online just to make sure i'm pretty clear about the topic..haha..anyway i found a quiet place in the library to look through the textbooks while sabie went to use the comp.

Later we went for BS. Honestly, I'm really happy to be able to go for BS again cos it's been quite awhile since we went for our last series. It's always gd to learn more about God and even better to know Him more :) Ps Audrey took us today & it's my 1st time hearing her preach!She's a beautiful & classy lady with a really sweet voice and she has a warmth in her that she exudes that really draws people to her. There's really a lot i can learn from her, especially her warm personality. Some of the examples she gave us had us all in fits of laughter, and when she mentions her family, it'll just make me smile as I remember her cute little girl who comes for Sun service in children's church every week.

Today we learnt about the baptism in the Holy Spirit, how important it is for us as Christians to have Him in our lives, and its manifestation which is by speaking in tongues. Honestly, there are still many christians out there who still don't believe in speaking in tongues & when ps asked if we had friends who did not believe in speaking in tongues but believed they were baptised in the Holy Spirit, i just thought about a good friend i had from my sec sch days. When i first came to city harvest about 3 years ago, she discouraged me from going and told me it was satanic to speak in tongues. Being a new believer and knowing very little about the bible, i was confused but something in me told me since the 1st time i came that it was the church where i belonged, & ps kong's sermons really spoke into my heart about the problems i was going through at that time & there were people like sis selena & sis jiahui who called me up to ask about me & gave me advice about what i was going through. From there, I made a decision in my heart to stay and I've never regretted walking with God all this time. Although it's not all smooth-sailing but from each trial i know i have learnt something and have grown stronger, and there is still much to learn. And i know God is holding my hand all the way. :)
