Inexplicable.

It's funny how sometimes I doubt God will speak to me regarding major decisions in my life.

We always say, pray about it, think about it, and then see how. I've always wondered how God speaks to me about decisions in my life.

Recently, I had to decide on the choice of my first job. This experience has taught me much about trusting God and obeying Him in my decisions.

The wise move for an accountant would always be to choose audit in a Big 4 firm or any accounting-related work in any corporation, so that he could get his CPA certification and go n to do others.

On Saturday night, I had actually emailed a company stating my interests to join their audit dept. I could not sleep the whole night! Before that, I had this uneasiness regarding my choice. Somehow I felt I should have spent more time asking God, instead of hastily emailing the HR contact.

And so, once again ,God was right, and I was foolish. Could have saved myself much distress regarding this matter.

I have finally decided to just choose tax, because somehow I feel most strongly God wants me there. =)

Through this experience, the conclusion of the matter is : pray until I feel God says yes.

Roms 2:4

This verse struck me yesterday when I went for 202.

The teacher was speaking on true repentance and she was saying that repentance is a gift from God. =)

May it never be said of me, that I lose the humility to repent and to ask God to change my thinking or behaviour.

Initially, i thought that I could have better spent my time at prayer meetings, cuz I had sort of learnt those stuff again. Oh man! wat pride!

At the class, I was awed and super humbled. Becuz I realised that I had taken the word for granted. =S

"What are the elementary truths mentioned in hebrews 6?" was the question I found myself unable to answer.

What contempt on my part!

In this season, thank God for chances to start anew. Like this. =)

The walk

Think the thing that has really struck me this few days, is that my walk with God is of utmost importance.

Don't know why, it's so fundamental, yet it has strike a chord within me. Was reading Dr Brian Bailey's book on the Journey of Israel, and he did mention somewhere that God has not called us to do ministry, but also to a relationship with Him.

At prayer meeting, someone went up and said that God has to prepare our character so that we can assume the responsiblity of ministry..

I was serving and doing quite a lot of stuff in my previous church. At the moment, I'm pretty much free in cell and not serving in any ministry. =)

And in this season of receiving and recuperation. I find myself being challenged in the basics of my walk wiith God. The basics of reading His word, praying and worshipping Him are things that I feel must become the most important in my life again. =)

Help me Lord!

A blog post!

It's been long.

I feel as if the Lord has seriously been dealing with me. I feel like I'm in a furnace, and the heat is causing all the impurities to rise to the top. Ps Yang was just speaking about it yesterday, and he said God has a way of just pulling the impurities out of us.

I can surely testify to that. Well, what do you expect? More heat, more purity. Need to be made new.

It's an exciting season. I am finally settling down in my new home.

It's great to finally call Cornerstone my home. =)
