Last Friday, I had a Social Studies Multimedia Competition on conflicts around the world. It was hosted in my school and my team and i represented the school. To be more specific, it was a cluster competition. Schools - Cedar Girls, Zhonghua, Yuying, Peicai participated. The venue was small, with no audience and 3 judges. Thank the Lord that nothing serious screw up our HTML presentation and we attained a second position , which was totally unexpected to my teachers. Praise God that despite all the screw-ups we made, there was favour and blessing from God. Thank God that we were not first as we have to present once again in May (near the exams)
And i really learn- why do we follow Jesus? - and it is also essential to spend time with God daily, two and a half hrs to be specific.And this is what i learn we should do.
1. Spend time praising God
2. Spend time thanking God
3. Ask God about your needs
4. Intercede for pre-believing friends
5. Pray for missionaries around the world
6. And OF COURSE! Read your Bible and ask God to speak to your heart! and not read like an ordinary book!
And i really like to spend more time with God and thanking Him for loving us greatly and forever and forever.
-His love endures forever!
In all things, esp. my tests this week and nxt wk , to really yield myself and trust in God , believing God's plans .
Jeremiah 29:11
11 For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
And this is one song on trusting in God and surrendering to Him even in times of difficulties through tests and trials . God is always there !
All I can bring
All that I have You gave to me
Even my life
All these gifts I call my own
Amazing grace
Rescued a sinner such as me
What else can I do
But take my place before Your throne
Chorus:
All that I have
I give to You my Jesus
I willingly give my life for You my Lord
And let me
Walk in Your ways
Serving You my Saviour
All that I have is Yours
All that I have is Yours my Lord
Teach me Your ways
And try my heart O Lord my God
Let nothing within
And no secret sin draw us apart
In these last days
When the love of so many will grow cold
And may I be found
Listening to You close to Your heart
How much God loves us? -
God's love is so great and can't be described, that He send His son to die on the cross for our sins. Good Friday.... .....
we ought to give our best to this MAGNIFICENT GOD!
To God be the Glory!
