大掃除... a.k.a. Spring Cleaning...
argh!!!!
well... i am amazed at what God uses to speak to me or teach me...
simply put... the Lord taught me another important lesson through my attempt to spring clean my room today...
decluttering one area doesn't mean that the clutter would go away, sometimes, we've just relocated the clutter....
we need to be a little "hard" hearted to throw out the useless things that is impeding the process...
when the time comes to let it go, just let it go... it's the same with sin and busyness of life...
another lesson learnt... =)
the cleaning is still on-going... think it'll take a few days, though my room is just about 4m by 6m... i should learnt to procrastinate less... heehee...

Amazing how God works!
The Lord is not pleased to see His children fighting among ourselves... I can see why too! 為何自相殘殺呢?We should not be fighting ourselves but the evil one... Why are we letting the evil one sow seeds of discord within the family and allowing him to win this spiritual battle? It is the evil one's plans to corrupt and perverse the relationships between family... It is his plans to prevent us, Warriors of Light, Children of God, from living a victorious life!
I will NOT allow the evil one to defeat me... Instead, I will defeat the evil one... I will put on the armour of God and be battle ready... I will remain unscath by the accusations... I will react with humility and love... The greatest weapon against accusation is HUMILITY! I don't need to win the argument for that moment, I simply need to win the person over through time....
Whatever the outcome, the Lord is definitely in total control... I simply just have to trust and obey, following the guidance of the Holy Spirit!

Weird Dream...
After the date, I had the guy's biological brother, who happens to be in the same church, asking me if I like his brother, whether I have room in my heart for him... When these questions were being asked, the person who came into my head wasn't this particular guy, but someone else... So surreal! I was unable to give the brother an answer and he left... Then came the guy's spiritual brothers... They asked me the same questions and again only one person came into my mind...
What made it weirder was that I saw Melissa asking this guy some questions and she seemed satisfied with his answers... I felt torn between 2 guys in this dream... The guy who kept surfacing in my heart and the guy who I went on the date with... I know in my heart there is only room for one... Before I could make a decision, I woke up... How weird is that!
What made this dream top the weird chart is that I remember where the guy works though I can't remember who he is... He works in TYS, and for some unknown reason, I ended up working full time in church... It's freaky... But I don't think this dream would ever be real... As I have no intention of working in church full time... I am presuming that it is just my over active mind playing out the endless possiblities... Whether it is from God, I don't know, but He will reveal in His time...

Such little unexpected news, I can still deal with. Just don't have Sandra call me back to work at Mrs SAM's tomorrow, THAT I would be totally unprepared for. I have afterall resigned from there.
"Lord, I pray that Sandra won't call me back to work. I really don't want to go back there, unless of course it is to collect my pay."
Going to have a meeting/briefing with Nora and the rest at InwardBound on thursday morning. Praying that I would get a school near my parents' shop. I really want to do well to be used after this project. And I really hope that I would find favour in this company. After the meeting, I would more or less confirm my schedule. Then perhaps, I would consider going for the Singapore Broadway Playhouse auditions. Hmm...
"Lord, You are Jehovah Jireh. I know You will provide."
Still thinking about the plans for my "daughters" for 2007, am in need of a clearer direction, so I will continue to pray about it. I want to see them grow deeper in the Lord. Let's just see what the Lord says... =)

Looking back to look ahead.
2006 was a year of Extraordinary Possiblities... Many things were new challenges and many things made me question my own beliefs... It was the year I graduated, a year when I have members of the audience coming up to me after the shows to tell me how convincing my acting was... Yet at the same time, it was also a time when I questioned my own ability, as I go from auditions to auditions to find no jobs... Then there were also the jobs that I got stuck in and found no joy in... Then there was the new job that I felt was the Lord's gift for the new year... I quit my previous job and joined the new job, which will start next week...
In ministry, it was a year of ups and down... 2006 saw the cell shrunk to 2 with additions along the way... A cell that was 5 became 2 overnight, it was a shocker to me and made me doubt my own life and leadership skills... My confidence was definitely shaken, the thought of leaving church was on my mind as I felt totally unworthy and very much a failure... I was so far from God and other areas of ministry were simply motion for a period of time... The Lord indeed is faithful and He has never let me go even though I failed Him in so many areas... Thank God for His love and my leader's love, without either, I would definitely have fallen away... The year 2006 ended with 4 in the cell, and definitely stronger relationships with each of my "daughters"... The shaking and moving of the cell was God's way of reminding me to rely on Him, to be faithful to the things He has placed in my life for me to take care of... Never has this statement ring so true: "Be faithful to the little things and He will add unto you." This is a lesson I have learnt well in 2006...
2007 is the year of Victory! I will walk into the year victorious. Nothing will bring me down, nothing will prevent me from accomplishing the things that I want to do for the Lord... For "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." (philippians 4:13) I will walk 2007 as a warrior of Light! I will be His warrior princess... I will fight like a girl, for God made me a girl and there are battles only girls can fight... I will continue to build into my "daughters'" life...
In 2007, I will be victorious!
