I felt an usual surge of excitement after my GP paper today, not because my paper was fantastically completed but it was not as difficult as I had expected. I am determined to excel in GP and encouraged that I can do it. After all, God is a master of language. I want to be His efficient and skilled servant in communicating and connecting with others.
One advice from my dear GP teacher is to create a blog on current affairs and of course fill that blog with posts everyday. How does it sound? Maybe I should try it.

Current affair 1:
A Singapore terrorist leader of the Selamat Kastari (JI) network, who onceplanned to attack Singapore Changi airport, escaped from a local detention centre.

" Do not harden your heart"

The Lord is timely and He sees my true needs which i often fail to recognize. I could somehow see myself in the Samaritan woman in John. Though I don't try to desperately seek for the security of my heart through relationships like her, constantly I find myself running away from God's prompting and reminding. The guilt that I bear caused me to be down-trodden before the myriad of temptations for right in the first place I did not follow a lifestyle that God wants from us because He desires us - disciplined, focused and Christ-oriented. Temptations trapped me and detached me from God for the 1st, 2nd, 3rd time... All along I have acquired the knowledge that understanding must be expressed and followed by actions simply because " what faith is this that has no deeds?". Yet, I am still distracted and give in to those snares. The Lord gave me this verse:

"Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your heart as you did in the rebellion"-Hebrews 3:12

It is timely because God is reminding me to be sensitive to the prompting of the Holy Spirit and be obedient. He sees my problems and my true desperation. I am thankful because God cares and loves me.
