For your ways are in full view of the LORD, and he examines all your paths.
Truly, the way i conduct my life is ultimately accountable to God and God alone. Why walk in the ways of evil and wickedness when you know that God hates evil and wickedness?
Always pay attention to the teachings of God - the wise teachings, that we may maintain discretion and our lips may preserve knowledge (that nothing inconsistent with the true teaching may come out of your lips). And thus not fall into the temptations/traps of wickedness.
Temptations may look very enticing for the very moment (drip honey, smoother than oil), but ultimately it is hideous looking and brings about very bad consequences! (bitter as gall, sharp as a double-edged sword)
And it is very clear that this wickedness lead straight to death!!! And often those who indulge in wickedness do not know that these very acts are leading them to their doom.
Keep to a path far from wickedness! (in this case, adultery)
Embrace discipline and correction, and learn from them and we become wiser! :)
May you ever be intoxicated with her love, not with another man's wife.

Wisdom bestows well-being [proverbs 3]
let love and faithfulness never leave you. and the famous verse 5 and 6:
trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your understanding; in all your ways submit to him and he will make your path straight. amen!
do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD and shun evil.
honor the LORD with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops.
do not despise the LORD's discipline and do not resent his rebuke, because the LORD disciplines those he loves, as a father the son he delights in.
wisdom is..
more profitable than silver, yields better returns than gold, more precious than rubies, uncomparable, brings about long life, riches and honor, has pleasant ways, peaceful paths, is a tree of life and brings forth blessings :)
wisdom is kind of essential in the christian life it seems 'they will be life for you'. it guarantees your safety and security, as the Lord will watch over you :)
the LORD's curse is on the house of the wicked but he blesses the righteous :)
in all your ways, submit to him! i guess i lack submission to the Lord, thinking that sometimes somethings can go my way still.. the Lord will make my path straight :)
once again its a good reminder that the Lord should be my only source of security and significance :) it shouldn't be something or someone else :)

new year!
dear diary,
holidays are gonna be over soon!! so fast! i did many things this holidays, met up with many people whom i didn't meet up with during school term. people like sean, jefri, wei ting, qianqi, dominic, jennifer, qiu rong, jie min, rachel, michelle, soo min, puay bing, zhi wen, michelle hui, grace wang, joanna kam, li sun, xiu min and crusade people! yup all the going out and accumulated and made me sick today! tee.
holidays have also been a time of rest, i guess a slight break from doing ministry, but more of thinking of ministry. i think i really got tired out last sem from ministry and sort of lost the purpose of ministry, something that i know that is really important.
but these few days, during f comm meeting and also ministry planning at st retreat and bible camp, it really refreshed me on about faithfulness in this aspect. yup :) and also i really am impacted by something that happened too!
also i learnt, that nothing beats having a 'good' relationship, in the sense that if it doesn't work out, then so be it, its better that we leave it on good terms rather than turn your face on the other person!
michelle's sleepover was very fun! :) hehe. rachel's party was a good time of reminiscing about the funny moments in bp days all the marching and all. and qiu rong's jokes were like, hahaha very funny!!
its also amazing how the friendship with jennifer can still maintain till now and all :)
kind of looking forward to the next sem and also i didn't really tell anyone about this, but since michelle you're the only one who reads my blog, you can know! haha
i kind of am thankful for my grades this semester, that though it wasn't maintained or increased, but it gave me a break from the stress of maintaining it and all. i guess the stress of maintaining the gpa really really was weighing on my mind. and i am really thankful that i can be doing something that i actually do like. it's like so interesting to read about psych and all :)
though there's still quite a few uncertainities on my mind, but God has really shown Himself to be faithful and true. and thanks haryl for sharing during f comm. God ultimately looks at the heart i know. just really gotta keep praying lor, that during the sem when things really get busy and i get tired, that i will still serve from the inner self, not just fulfilling obligations or responsibilites.
bible reading has also been good! read about ephesians the one on husbands and wives. what that struck me was paul's use of marriage as an illustration of Christ and the church. to think that Christ calls the church His bride, and gave up his life for the church, is something that wowed me. :) that God is really good.
oh michelle want to tell you something too. you know for the past sem i have been praying for samho occasionally, haha that God will comfort her in her times of sorrow and pain. And during your birthday party she says she has been going to church quite regularly, i was really like stunned for a while haha. that God hears my prayers lor :)
