back to the relationship.

today i listen to this podcast titled. Missing the Miracles, by pastor elwin also from new hope.

it talks about hw ppl often misses out the real miracle that God is trying to show us. first of all, miracle is something that only God could have brought about or made happen.

and so the story of the 10 lepers(ppl who suffered frm leprosy) were shared in the podcast. bout how only 1 leper out of the 10 went back to thank Jesus in awe of Jesus! and wads more, he was someone that a samaritan and someone that does not know God. compared to the other 9 who knows God.

in the midst of God healing them, the real miracle was supposed to be in the ppl's heart where they realise God's goodness and return to God to build a relationship with Him. and so as you can see only 1 man experienced the true miracle and the other 9 tho they were healed of leprosy but they missed the miracle just by a little bit as they went on to do other things other than finding and building the relationship with God. in luke 17:11-17.


the podcast reminds me of hw we get so caught up with situations and the things that we do that we forget the purpose of our life each day. which is to know God and grow closer to God every single moment! we get caught up of how God has blessed us, but we forget the One who blessed us, missing the miracle of drawing nearer to God thru the miracle.

and hw God yearns to see the change within us rather than just passing thru the miracle. and i've nv realised hw intimate we can get to God during holy comm til i heard the pastor talked about it. holy comm the time whereby we put everything we need to do on hold for that few minutes and concentrate on just communing and getting together with God once again. its just that few minutes but when we appreciate it and make full use of it, its more than just refreshing, its simply great! yeah tts what i've realli learnt and caught today in listening to the podcast.



1st day of job training in mac delivery. ( there is really alot of hope ppl in mac d!!)
it wasnt too bad, in fact was quite fun haha. especially since we've got super patient and friendly mentors haha. me and yiqin had 3 different trainers haha! cos had to change when the current trainer's shift is over. we managed to take some orders today haha! was funny at first lah. forgetting the opening or closing script =x and lots more.

eg. i put my microphone away because me and my trainer were taking turns to take orders. so whn it reached my turn i forgot to put my microphone down and i jus spoke hahaha! yeahh actualli tts basically wad happened briefly.
