met up with joy and glori today and mwas i loveeee those two poks. <3 <3 <3 mwassss we laughed about anything and everything for three whole hours. less me more we! joy say that twenty times. haha and HAPPY BIRTHDAY JELENE! i love you mwa mwas! that was just so random. ;)

haha on a more focused note, i've been learning alot of new lessons these few days! one thing i've really realised today is the extent of God's graciousness and mercy. while talking to ip-kenneth today he pointed out to me luke2:52 which tells about the life of Jesus:

"And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men."

God blessed Jesus in four aspects:

1) wisdom - intellectual
2) stature - physical
3) favor with God - spiritual
4) men - social

the other example was that of king hezekiah, in isaiah38:4-5 on how the king pleaded with God to extend his life and because he had chosen to follow God, the Lord prolonged his life for fifteen years.

i think the most wonderful thing that can emerge out of your relationship with God is perfect and full trust. belief that He will give you physical blessings without you having to ask, IF it is in His plan to do so as you place your whole heart into following Him. God gave Jesus favor in the sight of men, God gave daniel favor in the sight of men [daniel1:4]. and i like to believe that each and every friend i have is by God's grace alone (: when i look inside myself, i know how hard i am to love, yet He's loved me and given me people that can tolerate my whiningprincessnonsense and try their best to love me with His love ;)

so anw to cut a long story short, im learning to give thanks (:

im scared to start school! really. im recognise how much i need to hold on to Him to strengthen me as i step into a new phase of my life. and the thought really FREAKS ME OUT so yea please remember to pray for me? (:
