The Story of a Dude

This is the story of a dude who likes a girl but lacks encourage to tell her. He doesn't know when is the right time and opportunity to do so. So the dude decides to give subtle hints and thinks of what to get for her for friendship day. Finally he decides to get a book and send it to her, keeping his fingers crossed. He awaits anxiously for a reply from her and later saw that she thanked him for the book on her blog.

However, though he was glad that the book got to her safely, he was kind of puzzled that she did not give him a personal word of thanks. What does this mean? Did she merely forget to personally thank him? Or does she not want to give the dude the wrong idea? What did she think of the dude's gift?

The dude ponders and waits...

Faithfulness of God

Hi streamies! eh.. or is it livingies.. =)
my first entry!!

anyway.. like to share abt what i learnt from QT last nite.. made it a point to open ears.. and indeed God spoke to me through His Word in a very clear way..

about the Faithfulness of God.. that most of the time we associate God to be faithful when he has done something for us.. may be an answered prayer .. or mayb its when healing takes place for our loved ones.. or when He brings us through a tough period (exams?)...

but the book of Job revealed something to me..
that in the toughest times... God chose not to save his family or his livestock.. or deliver him immediately.. or prosper him with material wealth when he seems to need it the most... But still Job called God faithful!..

In Job 9:11.. Job says "When he passes me, i cannot see Him; when He goes by, i cannot perceive Him." ..... yet.. fastforwarded towards the end.. after this JIALAT period of testing for Job.. he said in Job 42: 5 " My ears had heard of you but now my eyes have seen you."

God never for one moment 'lost' His sovereignty over Job's life.. Indeed He is faithful.. and not just because of what He gives us... but that He is always with us.. God's continual presence in out lives is reason enough to shout out in praise!!

have a great week everyone!!

love, fu

Reviewing the Cain & Abel lesson

Hey peepz,

my first post here, yay! Anyways, I'm posting to share of a little lesson I learnt yesterday. During the Cain & Abel lesson we were going through how we should always give our best to God as elaborated in the lesson where Abel chose his finest firstborn lambs to offer to god while Cain gave his run of the mill stock as an offering. I distinctly remember that while reading that verse, I was thinking to myself "What a fool Cain is! How can anyone not give their best to God!? Idiot..."

But lo and behold, just a few hours later before I slept; I was taking money from my ang bao stash for tithing the next day. At first I was giving amount $X as that was 10% of what I had received. But then I remembered my mom had just given me a substantial ang bao, which would have raised my tithing to $Y. But despite that, I insisted to myself that amount $X was sufficient.

Upon reflection, it shamed me to realize how quickly I forgot the lesson we learned earlier in the day and how quick I was to judge why Cain was unable to give God his best! Amazing how God teaches us lessons =) And no worries, I'll be tithing the difference next week.

thats all folks! Have a blessed week ahead

How's Everyone? :)

Hey bubus!

How's everyone holding up? Is everyone walking well with dear Jesus? Cos I know I'm not. At least not in the past 2 weeks. My interest in reading the Bible has dwindled... and I just find myself losing my head cos of all the day to day obligations and duties I've to perform. So newaes, please keep me in prayer dearies. Thanks lots!

Love, Adrielle

P.S. Any other prayer items to share? :)

Yo Yo Yo!!!

Dear Streamies!

Welcome to our Blog!

Many thanks for Adrielle's help in getting up the blog for us : )

I believe this year, 2007, will be a great year for all of us in our spiritual journey, marked by spiritual milestones! I certainly look forward to all of us growing and loving our Lord, even when the times are challenging and difficult!

May we continue to give glory to God, and glorify God through our responses.

"Love the Lord, all his saints!
The Lord preserves the faithful, but the proud he pays back in full.
Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the Lord"
Psalm 31:23-24
