Is God in Everything?
Romans 8:28-29
Is God involved in everything that happens throughout the world? How you answer that question is important. What people believe about the Lord's sovereignty affects both their trust in Him and their reactions to struggles. Moreover, believers' thoughts on God's dominion influences their compliance with His requirements. For instance, "in everything give thanks" (1 Thess. 5:18) would be an impossible standard if God were only partially in control of what's going on.
Believing God is present in the positive aspects of our lives is easy. Reconciling hardship to His promises of provision and love is tougher. But think about this: If the Lord has reason to provide a job promotion, might He not also have reason to orchestrate a job loss? If He gives good health, might He not also allow sickness,
as He permitted in Job's life (Job 2:6-7)?
The Bible says that the Lord's ways are not like our ways (Isa. 55:8). He has a master purpose for involving Himself in every aspect of believers' lives—namely, conforming them to the image of Christ (Rom. 8:29). Jesus' life was not easy or sweet. He suffered shame, abuse, ill will, and persecution even before He faced the cross. If we are to be like Him, then we must expect that God's loving hand will sometimes hold a tool for reshaping us.
Every believer is encircled by God's protection (Psalm 34:7), so nothing touches our lives unless He permits or directs it. Bitterness and blame cannot take root if we accept that every good and bad thing comes with God's knowledge and permission. We can trust Him to do right by us (Rom. 8:28).

Gosipping
Have you played the game passing the message?
Everyone has to sit in a row and they have to pass the message to the person beside them until the very last person in the row.
After that the message from the last person is compared with the original message.
Most likely the message will be the other way round, missing out some points, summarised.
It's almost the same as gosipping.
You start with a conversation among your group of friends of so and so.
Then someone says hey you know i saw this person doing this.
And after that they pass on to another person.
So the story goes on and on.
Until it's being heard by the victim.
The victim finds out that all these gossips were untrue and feels unhappy.
Think about it, are you the one gosipping around?
Cos no, i don't like people gosipping about me
I remembered last time i knew a few people who were talking behind my back.
It really hurts me to hear about it.
But well, i forgive them.
No grudge held against them!
I do hope people start talking about something more worth talking about than gossips

Dating
I don't understand why couples say to each other i will love you forever.
Do they even understand what 'forever' means?
It's like till the day they die.
Until situation arises, and they start finding the weakness of their partner, then i love you becomes i hate you.
Love? What does love mean?
I doubt they understand.
And usually relationships like this will end sooner or later.
So why should we start dating if we are not ready or having a different expectation?
I am glad i am still single now.
Because God knows i am not ready to be in one yet.
=)
Oh yeah read Joshua Harris's book. He is a christian writer. He wrote a few books. But the very 2 books that are my favourite are ' Boy meets girl' and 'kiss dating goodbye'.
It change my mindset about dating and to see it from the christian perspective.
So, i suggest you to grab hold of the book and learn something new from it.

Faith is the confident belief or trust in the truth or trustworthiness of a person, idea, or thing.[1][2] The word faith can refer to a religion itself or to religion in general.[clarification needed]
As with trust, faith involves a concept of future events or outcomes, and is used conversely for a belief "not resting on logical proof or material evidence."[3][4] Informal usage of the word faith can be quite broad, and may be used in place of trust or belief.
Faith is often used in a religious context, as in theology, where it almost universally refers to a trusting belief in a transcendent reality, or else in a Supreme Being and/or this being's role in the order of transcendent, spiritual things.
Faith is in general the persuasion of the mind that a certain statement is true.[5] It is the belief and the assent of the mind to the truth of what is declared, based on the declarer's authority and truthfulness.[6] The English word faith is dated from 1200–50, from the Latin fidem, or fidēs, meaning trust, akin to fīdere, which means to trust
So, am i having faith right now?
I am still not sure about it

Well, i dislike when a person makes a conclusion that the whole bunch of people are the same when it's just the 1 person in the group that created the trouble.
Ridiculous at how the world can be and how people react to a situation.
By judging the whole group of people, it creates hatred and injustice!
If you talk about unity, with this situation happening it's going to be harder to be achieved, no?
Think through about what happen before you start making wrong conclusions.
Speaking of freedom of speech, i feel the lack in freedom.
Because those creating the trouble are just cowards!

Holidays are time to rot at home this year.
Barely step foot out of the house.
Nor did i go anywhere.
Freedom! Give me freedom!
Dad has promised to bring me to Singapore, but it's been 7 years since i last went to Singapore.
There should be many changes in Singapore by now.
Year end, please let there be more fun holidays!

God's Clear Instructions
Joshua 6:1-5
Joshua needed guidance as he faced one of the most crucial moments of his life. Because the Lord had promised him success in conquering Jericho, he knew the outcome of the battle, but as the day of combat approached, he needed a specific strategy for victory. What he heard the Lord say must have made his jaw drop.
Can you imagine the soldiers' thoughts as they carried out this bizarre battle strategy? In confusing times like this, it's good to remember three requirements for benefiting from God's instructions. We need:
• Faith to believe the Lord
• Courage to obey Him
• Patience to wait for His timing.
When God gives us clear instruction through His Word or His Spirit within us, our response shows how much we trust Him. If we truly believe Him and His promises, precise and complete obedience will follow. His victory in any area of struggle is available only to those who act upon His directions.
Submitting to the Lord's timing is also an essential part of obedience. What would have happened if the army decided to bypass God's plans for the first six days and skip straight to the seventh day's march around Jericho? They would have missed the victory.
How often do we beg the Lord for guidance, yet hesitate to obey when He finally gives it? Living by faith can seem like a huge risk when His instructions make no sense or require a lengthy wait. But knowing His eternal perspective and unlimited power can strengthen our resolve to obey.
