impact.

since saturday shirley mentioned about putting the note on standby mode for sony ericsson phones. then i finally rmb-ed about this function.

and so ytd before i sleep, i type what i want to keep in mind or to integrate into my life into standby mode. to remember that God is in charge and another learning. and today the whole day i was really constantly being reminded everytime i look at my phone, God is in charge.. God is in charge! my whole day i really place everything into God's hands and let God take control of it. from the start of my day til the end.

the whole of today seems super busy for me especially with the presentation and the retest i was panicky and cant focus well. and so as i started my day at home i remember that God should be in charge and i told God, God im going to focus on what i have to accomplish first and i'll leave the rest til later because You are in charge and i know that You can help me because You have done so, so many times more than i could ever rmb.

and as i prepared for my presentation and subject assessment, thank God! God helped me to memorise most of my work for it. and when it was my turn to present, God really helped me to be confident and He really blessed me with the questions my teacher asked to assess me. i didnt even noticed i was already being assessed! it was a breeze thru my presentation! praise God!

after that i went to study for my lab test, thank God for my classmates which helped me to spot out several impt things to take note of tho after all that i was still quite worried cos the first time i took the test, i was in a complete blurred state where i took alot longer than usual to setup the 1st step and i wasnt even sure i could pass the retest. but i really did my best study what i can, understand what i can

and as i headed towards the lab and along the way i saw my note on standby mode and i remembered God is in charge! everything is in God's hands, God ia in control! and i went into the lab quite confidently, not because of what i've done but cos God is in control. the lab retest was quite a breeze for me as well! thank God for helping me rmb things i forgot! and i think i got arnd 23 or 24 out of 25=) praise God!

i was on the bus home with my laptop, shoe bag and my bag. and i hate to go on buses with my arms full of things especially if its during a crowded timing! cos its kinda troublesome and it troubles others as well. i was sitting at the back of the bus. there's no bell near it and as i got closer to my stop, the bus got more crowded. and to get to the bell i have to get to the middle with all my belongings dangling here and der. i was super sian-ed and i was hoping someone would press the bell! and the stop i intended to alight at reached, no bell pressed. so the bus went on.

but the interesting part is what goes on from here, i remembered again God is in charge! and so i prayed God the next stop(still close to my house) please send someone to ring the bell!! and as the bus turned and was closing in on to the stop, no one pressed the bell yet and i began to like panick a lil, and i believe that's a slight wavering of faith and i told God, God take away that disbelief from me! even if its a little! i remembered i heard it from somewhere someone prayed this prayer. and held on to it til the last moment.

then the person sitting RIGHT beside me got up and pressed the bell! i was so amazed! the person that God sent to help me was jus right beside me all along! and as i got down, i remember the fact that God answers our prayers even before we pray it! everything is in God's plans and only when u pray, do you realise that God has placed that blessing in ur life, and its not just another lucky thing that happen to u! thats the difference of praying!


and i love this quote from one of pastor shirley's blog post.

If you venture into high sea, end up lost in a squall and can laugh at the storm anyway, I think you have a pretty good understanding of who’s in charge of the boat.

i think its true=) when u face problems and yet you are not worried about it, then you definitely know whose in charge of your problems=)

you can be concerned about something, but you shouldnt be worried about it!

because being concerned stops at you know there's a problem, you do what u can and u leave the rest to God's hands! and you have the peace of God in your heart=)

BUT being worried doesnt stop at anything, you'll be basically thinking negatively about the problem endlessly til its solved and most imptly u take things into your hands! and in the process of it is the distrust and lack of faith in God!
romans 8:31
What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us?

nothing can be against you already! why worry?!



bottomline. know that God is in charge=) or rather let God take charge=D things that are not within our control, is for God to take control=) do u have many things that are out of control in your life? u know why they exists? because you need Jesus to help u take control of the uncontrollable.




and hahaha 1 last thing!=) really encourage ppl to blog! as you never know when God can use ur life's experience to bless others! you'll never know or understand how much impact u can make, because God is the one that amplifies that very impact infinitely. jiayou everyone!=)
