By the grace of God By the grace of God, i managed to pull through 2 days of morning prayer. Today, i went to JW. Was late for 30mins. =\ i felt so bad. Anyway, Monday i went to Singpost. And btw they are opening up a new venue at Church of Singapore, Marine Parade Rd cos of the packed crowd. I'm so encouraged to see people loving God this way. Spiritually i feel so lifted up despite the sacrifice of sleep (it's a big sacrifice for me). And God's grace was with me throughout the day. I don't feel sleepy during my classes today except the last hour...hehe. But the things being taught during that hour i already know la...so can open one eye, close one eye...(i was half-conscious) Today's leaders meeting in the evening was great. Pastor Bumbang shared an inspiring message to us. He challenged us to plant churches for God using his own life story. The spiritual atmosphere was thick with faith and the Holy Spirit was in no doubt in the auditorium speaking to people and pouring out His anointing to people that He has called upon. I saw a vision of my current situation and God was encouraging me to keep on keeping on. Sometimes, that can be a struggle for me. But i always try my best to overcome because God says that I am more than a conqueror in the Bible. When pastor Bumbang prayed a prayer of blessing and impartation of church revival, i could literally at one point 'see' oil gushing out of heaven like water that's being let out through the dam at its highest water level. Pastor Bumbang is super anointed i tell you. And i pray i got some of God's anointing for growth and multiplication through him. Heehee. Anyhow, after the meeting with Pst Bumbang, Pst Kong told the sisters to separate ourselves from the brothers in the auditorium as he wants to speak to each group privately. So he spoke to the sisters first. I'm not going to share about what he spoke to us, since i believe he has his reason for speaking to brothers and sisters separately. And pastor is rather strict this evening, not allowing a single male to be in the auditorium unless a pastor or Zone leader. But if you are a SISTER, you can ask me about it & i will be more than happy to share it with you. I even took down notes. =P Haha. Cos i believe it will be useful for me to refer to from time to time. But basically, the issue is man-woman relationship for our church. And it really got me thinking about what i really am asking for in my future boyfriend and husband-to-be. To me, it is very simple. I'm looking for someone who: 1) Love God 2) Is able to provide me with a sense of security 3) Has outward attractiveness - Know how to dress up & look nice as part of a healthy self-image 4) Is communicable These are the main 4 things i look out for in THAT person. These are the standards i will NEVER compromise on. Other aspects that i would classify as preferential are like... have to be taller than me by a significant bit (so i can wear my heels)... education level (university grad so that social circle is the same and common subjects to talk about)... age (older than me...i can be quite traditional)... family background (my parents will look at this)... have good teeth (i'm sorry but i think i'm influenced by my dad)... Pastor is right. the fact is that the qualities guys and women look for in each other are the total opposite. It's important to understand the opposite gender, thereby moderating our expectations according to it. Yeahhh. :) Labels: daily rantings 12:52 AM
