The story of Esther is filled with romance, adventure, and danger. Her ordinary Jewish life suddenly became remarkable when she found herself in the position of Queen of Persia. We clearly see the Lord's sovereign hand at work as He called her to fulfill a very important role in His plan for the Jews. But can you imagine how upset, confused, and uncertain Esther must have felt as the details were unfolding?
We may feel the same perplexity as we live each day without knowing the future. Sometimes it is easier to see God's calling in someone else's life rather than our own. His plans and purposes are working out in perfect progression, but from an earthly perspective, the developments may seem chaotic and bewildering.
Esther's story is an encouragement to trust in God's will and purpose for our lives. Every believer in Christ has a calling from the Lord. He doesn't save us and then leave us to fend for ourselves; instead, He continually guides each of His children in the work He has planned for his or her life.
God's calling includes not only what we do but also who we are. Each experience in life is a tool that the Lord uses to shape and equip us to become the people He wants us to be--with regard to character as well as conduct.
Begin looking for the Lord's hand in your life. He is working out His plan, sometimes silently and softly, sometimes with jarring disruptions. But He is always there, directing and moving. Never imagine yourself to be insignificant in His eyes. You're so highly esteemed that almighty God has designed a unique calling just for you.

BLOOM WHERE YOU ARE PLANTED
1 Corinthians 4:2
It is required of stewards that one be found trustworthy
An important concept about the will of God that my students hear at seminary is, "Bloom where you are planted." Be the best you can be at your present assignment, and stay there until God calls you elsewhere.
Determine to become the best possible board member you can.
God guides those who bloom where they are planted.
Prayer:
I want to be faithful in the small things, Lord, so You will advance me to greater responsibilities in Your timing and according to Your will.

I am still glad at the fact i am 18!!!
Thanks to Han Yun for posting in the Js blog and wishing me that i will find worship.
I guess it won't be this year but when i am more ready to be in a relationship. =D
It's a wonderful day to start off my birthday with love from my parents.
Both of them kiss me on both cheeks, one on each side. Haha.
And i ended my day with an encouraging sms from my brother-in-christ
Didn't expect birthday wishes still came in even after 2 days!!
Glad you all remembered!
On the 1st of May, i ate western food all along.
Ha ha!
Great start eh?
Lunch i ate at pizza hut, dinner my mum cooked spaghetti.
Well every year my birthday is not the grand type that i invite everyone i know for my party.
Maybe it's not the right moment.
Until i am older one day, i organise one and invite all of you okay?
To end this post, I wanna thank all of you again for the birthday wishes!!!
