Refresher course in driving

Today, had a feel on how is it driving from my house to school using the new car that my brother bought last week. I have not been driving since 3 years ago when I passed my driving test. So, this time I do hope to gain more confidence in my driving. I think driving on the road is fine but I am just not confident about my reverse parking especially at the multi-storey carpark at my house area. In future, until I am more confident to drive on my own, I will drive to school then my brother will drive from there to work.

Single and satisfied

Today's sermon was on the title " Single and satisfied". Just a quick recap of the three points that the pastor spoke about.
1) Singleness is good.
2) Singleness is a gift.
3) Singleness is God-pleasing.
He used the passage from 1 Corinthians Chapter 7 to help the congregation to understand the gems from the Word. I am particularly ministered by the sermon and know that God is speaking to me in this aspect. Especially when he tried to counter argue some of the marriage myths that many people believe in. I am no exception.
Truly, many a times as human beings we tend to think that the grass on the other side seems to be greener. Oh, how often we fall into that trap. What ultimately to me I learnt over these years is to be contented in any and every situation. It is not easy and many a times, we may fail and that is when we need His grace and mercy. I believe God wants us in the various stations in our lives to live out the best. That it is no point thinking that " I will be much happier if I have this or have that" and ultimately what satisfies us is God and no other human being or thing in this world, like career or lots of money that ultimately satisfies.
It is my prayer that as I am in my stage now to learn what God is doing in my life at this point. And knowing that He is good, He knows what is the best for me and I need not be fearful but to continue to wait upon Him and learn to trust Him.

Blessed Marriage

This weekend I attended my cell mate's wedding. I knew him 6 years ago when I attended the church I am in now and since then he has been in my cell till recently, my cell multiplied and he is currently in a new cell. As I look back, I am encouraged by his love for the Lord and how he shared about how God led him to meet his wife then.
I pray that God will bless their marriage and they will both love God and each other more each day. May their love and marriage also bring about blessings to the people around them.
This time round when I attended this wedding, I had a different set of emotions. Maybe by now, I have come to a point when I realise that there is a need to be contented and satisfied as a person with God. Even if I am not attached or married, I can still have that abundant and complete joy in me having Jesus and God in my life. Oh God, help me to serve you wholeheartedly during this single season of my life. To be seeking your Will about my future and at the same time, desiring that God you will also grant me patience to wait for the gift of marriage if it is what you plan for me to have.
As I claim this verse for my life:" But seek first His Kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well."
Indeed, may God help me to seek Him above all else in my life.
