ah... i've been sick ever since monday morning. it sucks to have a terrible flu especially in this hot weather. :( can't even read my books cos my medicine's making me drowsy and nothing's registering even when i try to read.
was reading the newspapers this morning and guess what was in the straits times?!!!!!! apparently the australian government wants 20,000 people to migrate there in order to fill up their job vacancies. *wriggles eyebrows* buddy!!!!! you reading this? might be a sign from God!!!!! *grins* and one of the jobs that they really need people is accounting!!!!! like woah..
my tuition teacher just confirmed with me last night that i'll have to relieve him for tuition next week. and it's just in time cos i'm running out of money!! gotta do something about the way i spend. anyways, God is great! i didn't even ask for money but He blessed me with it. :) isn't He awesome? and it's not the first time. even before i left for Sydney i was trying to find some job that'll need me for a few days so that i could earn some extra cash before going to Australia. i was racking my brains cos which job will take you for a few days only? but God gave me this wonderful tuition teacher who coached me all the way from secondary school to jc and is now helping me financially unknowingly. our God is amazing!!!
something that struck me while i was doing my morning devotion just now:
Romans 12: 1-8
"Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God - this is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is - His good, pleasing and perfect will. For by the grace given to me I say to everyone of you: do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgement, in accordance with the measure of faith God has given to you. Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. We have different gifts, according to the grace given us. If a man's gift is prophesying, let him use it in proportion to his faith. If it is serving, let him serve; if it is teaching, let him teach; if it is encouraging, let him encourage; if it is contributing to the needs of others, let him give generously; if it is leadership, let him govern diligently; if it is showing mercy, let him do it cheerfully."
