There are a heap of weddings coming up and I have to say, this reminds me of 1 passage. Ephesians 5. HAHAH it was like my worst nightmare. Mr. R said to me: you should start with Ephesians. So I did. And I got to this passage and thought: :0 what the... SUMBIT??! SUMBITT?!? Assssss ifff man. Hahah
Essentially, I thought the passage was summed up as: WOMEN ARE DOOR MATS! Which is not true. Hehe I had to read the whole passage to get the whole context! Hahah this was my first lesson on “reading in context”

Privilege or Burden?
Jury duty in my mind has been a burden, but I have surprisingly gained some useful insight on how courts are run.
BLT conference was a privilege. Although in the midst of all my assignments God gave me the opportunity to attend a conference which encouraged proactive/productive fellowship and recognizing that joy comes from an undying love for our Lord and Saviour.
How we see things as a privilege or burden can essentially change how what we do and view things. Amazing isn't it.
Q&A: Do you worship things like... your hair/hairlessness? your looks? your muscles?

the test
so I went to mater pathology to get some blood tests done. :( I so regret it! haha the lady had just transfered from another firm and I was apparently her first "patient". I don't particularly like needles so having needle suck out 10 test tubes of blood wasn't very fun.
To make it worse, while I was "settling in" the lady was like.. so this is what I do blah blah blah and conforming and asking how things were suppose to be done... made me so nervous. and then she shoved the needle in right.. but then she couldn't find a big vein... and the blood wasn't like going through the tubes and so she was poking around trying to find a better source of blood... OHH THEE PAINNN!!! and I didn't realise, but when they take blood out... your arm gets like pins and needles. My arm is still numb :D.

... to make a decision
But i had to rethink---- did i really make that decision. If God has drawn me a path to walk... and is the path i want to take, a God centered one? There comes a time in my life (again), its hard to decide to be obedient to my parents or to God...
Being patient is not something that comes naturally for me and I have to thank my brothers and sisters for praying for me. So thanks. One of my fav. passages from the bible in times of.. uncertainty is Philippians 4:6. Here it is, Brother and Sisters in Christ:

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
