I had attended a Life Management workshop organised by my church and gained alot of insight through it. Here's some of my reflections for the first lesson. Am slowly reviewing through the lessons to get the most of it. =)

I have drawn out my own personal life purpose! =) Over the years, God has been moulding and teaching me alot in the area of love.

My Personal Life Statement:
To love God with all my heart (devotions), soul( workship and enjoy Him), mind (wisdom and disciplined thought life) and strength (everything I do). To love people with God's love.

Also learnt about the Franklin Reality Model which can be used to aid permanent behaviour change. Here's more about it.

Needs
Research has shown that apart from our physical needs for air, water, food and shelter, we have four psychological needs.
The need to live - we will do all we can to stay alive.
The need to love and be loved - we will go great lengths to win love.
The need to feel important - we will resort to several means to attract attention.
The need to experience variety - we will enjoy a variety of things and pursue new experiences.

When these needs are met, we are happy.
However, all four needs are seldom completely satisfied at any given time. When a basic need demands attention, we will channel all our available energy and attention into the need that is deprived.
Eg. If the need for "to love and be loved" is not met...

The Beliefs window
Our four basic needs drive and and urge us. It will that be directed through our values and beliefs system.
Eg. If we have a belief that "A boyfriend will be able to meet this need of mine."

Rules
For each belief, we will subconsciously create rules ("if-then")  that govern our behaviour.
Eg. If a boyfriend will be able to meet this need, then I need to find a boyfriend to experience love.

Behaviour Patterns
We will behave in the ways according to our "secret rules".
Eg. We will find ways to find a boyfriend.

Results and feedback
If the results of our behaviour meet our needs, this feedbacks to ourselves that the belief is harmless or even "correct". If it is not met, it will suggest that we take a closer look at the needs and the beliefs.
Eg. If having a boyfriend doesn't satisfy this need, then we will starting wondering why.

This Reality Model is used to reaffirm that our behaviours are mainly due to our beliefs. And in order to correct a behaviour, the unmet needs and the wrong beliefs need to be identified. It is good that we observe our behaviours and identify our deeper values and needs.

God, our Creator, has an important say on our values and beliefs. His Word states clearly tt His ways are higher than ours and so are His thoughts. And He reveals them to us through His Word.
Until we acknowledge that His values and understandings are higher that our values and beliefs(that we gain through our experiences) or worldly philosophies (that others gain thr their experiences), then He will be able to meet our needs in the right way. 
 
We can identify our needs and God's governing values based on the Word of God and with the right values, we will be able to experience inner peace and allow God to meet our needs.

Here's my personal reflections and my desired values and behaviour:

My needs	Biblical Values	Rules	Desired Behaviour
To love and be loved	God is my source of love	I need to experience God's love, then I will be able to love others more.	Prioritise my r/s with God above all the demands of life and people.
To live	My life is a gift from God	If it's a gift, then I must treasure and take good care of it. Be a good steward of my time and resources.	Take care of my health. Exercise good time management and plan and be more disciplined!
To feel important	My worth is founded in God. I'm important to God because of who I am, not what I do.	If I'm worthy to God, I should not have self-condeming thoughts or try to do things to seek people's approval. I should also focus on the being, not doing.	Love and appreciate myself. Acknowledge my faults and weaknesses. Repent of my sins and understand that it doesn't make me less worthy/ important to God. Seek to grow and improve myself becos God loves me and I'm important to Him.
To experience variety	Life in God is not boring. God is a creative God and we can be creative and adventureous too.	I can enjoy the varieties of life as long as it is within boundaries and it doesn't  become an obsession or cause imbalance in my life.	Be open to explore new things, learn new skills, enjoy healthy entertainment, appreciate God's creations, different cultures etc.

Happy Chinese New Year! 
Some of my former school students came to my place for visitations last sat. Oh it has been long since I last seen them. They are my CCA students whom had been dear to me. It warms my heart seeing how they grow up, mature and become more capable. I still recall the farewell party they had for me last dec. They made a banner and Powerpoint for me and give me presents and flowers! SOOooo sweet! Esp the banner, it's so nice!


Had a gathering also at Shernice's place for CNY two saturdays ago too. Am so glad to see my former colleagues and we really had a great time togther. Missing them... Wanna thank all my colleauges and students in HY for giving me such sweet memories for the past 4 yrs. Will be meeting some of the colleagues again for Sally's baby's shower. Cant wait to see them again! =)

Thank God also for my current colleagues and students. Had been adapting well and getting along well too! May God continue to equip and use me where I am! =)

I think I have to do some justice to my blog. Holiday now and I'm already married but the blog is still backdated. So, latest update: I am now Mrs Soh! HAHA

Thank God for the wedding. Everything went smoothly and thank God for providing for us! Am very touched by the many helpers whom touched my heart deeply with their help. My caregroup came to my house to help me clean up and repaint my house. It was a tough job and we took 2 days to do that. Even my parents are touched when they delicately and carefully do the cleaning and washing. Many of them had not done so much before, it's tiring but they did not give up. (Recently there's a tv show in channel 8/U about the life transformers who went to help the needy to transform their houses. The sight of them washing and cleaning resembles what my caregroup did!) Thanks also to the singers, musicians, media team, receptionists, ushers, video and cameraman, emcees, etc etc! U guys are great!!! Many ppl find the wedding proposal clip and animation testimonies sweet and touching too!





Million thanks to our family members who supported and helped us one way or another. Our parents and siblings are really very happy for us! (Finally i'm off the shelf.. haha.. i remember tt my dad used to worry tt i'll be left on the shelf, then i always joke tt i have ppl queuing from boon lay to changi.. haha, finally i have chosen Toa Payoh) =P
Starting to miss my family. Even though now i go back home once a week, but everytime i'm back home, i really wish to stay longer.
My in-laws are very nice ppl. Lovely couple who have very good temper and manage the family well. Thank God for this new family who welcome and take care of me.

Went for induction on Mon at my new school. Felt like a new teacher having to start all over again. Everything is very new to me. Pray tt I can adapt well and pray tt God will reveal to me His plans for me in my new school. Missed my former school though. If not for the distance, took me 2 hrs one-way trip, i would have stayed. Anyway, life's full of changes, tt is part and parcel of life bah. Just need to learn to adapt and look ahead. =D

Going for my honeymoon next wed at hOkaiddo! Can't wait to see snow for the first time in my life! Pray tt I will have a great trip!=D

Lastly, wanna end off with some recent thanksgivings to God for His love and faithfulness. Wanna thank God for the many times He stopped the rain after I prayed. My frds (who are not believers yet) were amazed when they witnessed it. (Thank God tt they can get to witness it) Anyway, as a Christian, that's what we are used to. ;) God is the Creator, of cos stopping the rain is nothing to Him. Also, thank God for answering my prayers as He healed my frd PW of her stomach cramps, Sam of her injured hand and Pete for his leg pain. Also, thank God for helping my frd KS to find back his wallet after losing it for a few days. It's amazing God answered exactly the way I prayed, I prayed for someone to pick up the wallet and return it to KS after he told me he just lost it. And 4 days later, he found it in his MAILBOX! The person mailed it back to him! The principal is: if u wanna experience God's power, PRAY!
Jesus said: "And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father (God) may be glorified in the Son." John 14:13

Here's a nice video i came across.. it reminds me of God's love for us and the pain He went thr for us...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C0r_FbARIn8
 

It's one and a half month more to my BIG day. Starting to feel stressed liao. |||
So many things not done yet =P Had so much work to juggle at the same time, 2nd semester is busiest for most teachers...
My photos are very very nice. hee.. here's a glimpse of some of the photos.







NIce rite? I like the makeup and hairdo esp. But pity that i cant have that makeup artist for my actual day. Many ppl say we look quite different. haha Esp for him cos he seldom wear contact lens.

This Saturday, I'm going to do house-cleaning for my house and paint my room. Thank God for my caregroup who offered to help me! Thanks so much!! Felt so loved.. hee

Abit nervous as the day is approaching... got lots of adjustment into marriage life. Challenging but yet looking forward. May God stays close and continue to lead us as we take each step by faith. =)

Oh no!!! Cant believe it tat it has been half a yr that i last blogged! =P
Busy? Hmm.. not sure when will i be not busy. hahahhahaha Think mainly cos I dun really have it a habit yet to keep updating blog. But i do wanna maintain it wor.

There are many happenings to update man.
First of all, job wise, i have been taking up more and more things this yr. Challenging but glad that God has been equipping and helping me thr them. Pray that I will continue to trust Him more and allow Him to stretch and grow me, esp in aspect of planning and managing.

I also just had me wedding photo shoots! Cool! It had been a real enjoyable time as I am being dolled up with 8 different styles. Wah felt like princess! The costumes are very nice (except for the outdoor shoot which i dun have much choice). And the makeup artist is very good at make up and doing the hair. She's so creative with my hairstyle! Haven't see the photos yet but hope they are nice! Surely, God will bless me with nice photos! hee.

Now, more challenging things to come, that is to furnish and do up my house and my fiance's room (my future room). Thanks my dear joel for blessing us with a bedsheet set and comforter as our wedding gift. She's my very experienced wedding coordinator and she has been more urgent than me haha! Preparation for the wedding has to start now.. 5 months left!
Had went around looking at furniture and going to paint my house.
May God helps me to manage my time well managing so many things. Also, help me financially as we are quite stretched in this area. May our wedding be blessed and may it also bless everyone who are attending the wedding. =) Of cos, may my marriage be a blissful one, this is most impt!

Jus came back from Msia last week after my church camp from the 5th to 8th June. It was a real enjoyable time! Had a great time with my caregroup, we opened up more and commit to God to be more serious with our walk and be more committed to love and build one another up. Also, God has blessed the camp with His presence, speaking to many of us personally and perform healings and displaying of spiritual gifts and prophecies during the camp. Also, one testimony that touches me alot is that one of our church sister shared Christ and bring a 50+ massage lady to receive Christ during a break time while she went for massage. The lady is so glad and broke down with tears of joy after she received Christ.
It reminds me of this verse in the bible, "Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect, keeping a clear conscience." 1Pete 3:15
This is the verse that God speaks to me 8+ years ago just before my bro and sister received Christ. It warms my heart as I think about God's love for all mankind and His desire to bring all to know Him and experience His love, and He has chosen to use us to testify His love. The sister had encouraged me to really be sensitive to the Holy Spirit and allow God to use me to share more about His love. She did not jus enjoy the physical pleasure of being massage, but she also remembered God's love and experienced the joy of bringing someone to know God.

church camp_08

Overwhelming with joy now as i think about these 2 weeks...

I acted in church on Sat and Sun. Here's some pics! It had been me and my sis dream to be able to dress in Chinese 'wu3 sia2 pian4' costumes.

My sis and I

The drama crew

I thank God to be able to perform tog with my beautiful sis in a public performance for the first time. Thank God for the ppl who came to support me, Wendy, Yingyan, HQ's bro and his gf!
More gratefully and unexpectedly, Wendy received Christ after she heard the pastor's sharing! She shared that initially she had alot of qns for God and all of them were mentioned and answered during the svc with amazing pinpoint accuracy. These 2 days she also had been praying to God and received alot of answered prayers. God is so faithful and loving! =D
She also prayed for opportunity to share with her dad abt her conversion testimony on Monday. God gave her the opportunity and her dad and sis even agree to come to church with her this Sunday!!! I'm very amazed and encouraged by her simple faith and courage to trust God. What mustard seed faith she has that moves the mountain! =D

Also, I went to stay over with Liping and my godson and goddaughter last week. Rene's 1yr and 5 months old now! Grow so fast. Now can walk on her own and run ard in the house. =D

Ryan and Rene

I had a good time catching up with Liping. Enjoyed the time alot! =D
Also, got the chance to share with Liping and Ryan about some of the healing miracles God has done this yr for ppl ard me. Hope they can also experience God's goodness in some ways. =)

Met up with Yujing today aft we lost contact for many years. Bumped into her mum thus managed to get her hp. Both of us had changed no over the years. Had a good time of catching up and updating each other of our lives. Am very glad to be able to meet her up again. =)

Today, I'm convinced tt Joel really knows me like the worm in my stomach. Haha... This is not the first time but one of the many times when she can detect my mood without me giving her any hint. Haha... somehow God has given her a special detector to detect my mood. Lol Thank God for this special friend of mine. =D

Another frd of mine had been thr a tough time in her family recently and experienced much of God's love and faithfulness. Am very touched and priviledged to be able to be there for her and hear how she had experienced God's love. Also, God has blessed her with good results for her course! Thank God! Thank God for our frdship too! =)

Lastly, I thank God for sending His One and Only Son, Jesus, on earth on Christmas day and walked on the earth 33 years to share with us about His truth and His love. Then He died on the cross so as to reconcile us to God. 3 days later, He resurrected and raised to heaven to let us know that He is God and had overcome death thus we can be overcomers!

Those who confess with our mouth and believe in our hearts that Jesus is Lord will be saved.(Romans 10:9) Saved from sin and be reconciled to God as His children, having a personal and intimate relationship with Him who love us and created us with our unique life purposes.

A nice movie clip that depicts the love of God for us as He gives His Son Jesus to give us eternal life, such that sinful man like us can enjoy a relationship with a holy God.

Jesus's sufferings, death on the cross and resurrection has the power to give us new life, hope, strength and purpose for our living.

"The purposes of a man's heart are deep waters, but a man of understanding draws them out." Pro 20:5

I pray and seek for more wisdom to understand and discern the purposes of man.

"For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword. It penerates even in dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight." Heb 4:12

Went to the zoo today with HQ. The weather is very good and the place is not wet. Thank God! Had a great time. =)
Took many pics.. Share some here. =)





Setting off!

Imitating the turtles who are looking at each other. Can tell that we took this photo ourselves? haha


Nice animal plants

Black-and-white strips family

Am feeling so happy that i cant sleep... slept at 3am last nite, but woke up at 7 plus and find myself not able to sleep.. felt so compel to wake up and update my blog here to share my joy.

HQ proposed to me last Sat in the ice-skating ring. Very surprised and touched by the proposal. Touched by the preparation effort, his courage (it was beyond him to propose in the public) and the support and blessings of my frds and my sis. I really thank God for all him and my dear friends and my sis!


Wow the snow fall can be captured on photos, so nice. =)

He gave me a bouquet of flowers printed with our pics and "will you marry me?" on the real petals. Special rite? And a diamond ring with engravings of GGMU - God Give Me U - and the verse John 15:9. *so sweet*

Haha however, this is not the reason I cant sleep this morn.

Last and this week had been an eventful period for me. 2 of my frds' dads got sick and was hospitalised. Some of my frds were feeling down and lost about their lives. Thus, I was quite worried and helpless. All i can do is to pray for them.
Thank God for his faithfulness:
On Fri, one of my frd's dad was so sick, cant talk and in terrible pain. My frd's heart broke when she saw him. As she was sobbing and sharing with me, I felt for her so much. It broke my heart too feeling her anguish and pain. I know it hurts God's heart many times more than mine.
My caregroup and I prayed earnestly that the swelling that the dad had will ceased and that his condition will be curable and wont take too long for the healing.
In fact, on sat, my frd was so surprised when she saw her dad. He is able to talk and even get out of bed. And the swelling has indeed ceased! It was so different from how he was the day before. And each day he is getting better! =) Praise the Lord!
Pray that God will continue to heal him and tat his healing will not just meet the physical but also the spiritual need of my frd and her dad. Also, pray tt God will provide for the family financially.

God reminded me of the 3 ppl i prayed for healing this yr. Early this yr, I prayed for my frd's cousin who was also death-threatening sick. When all was hopeless, God gives me faith to pray and wrote on a card i gave her that God will pulled her thr. She did. My student got into a serious accident and was in critical condition. I prayed also that he would pulled thr and he did. In fact, he recovered speedy, to even the doc's surprise. My shep's dad had heart attack and God delivered him too! All these happened in a yr. I had broken my record of hospital visits this yr.
God also reminded me of the 10 ppl who were healed by Jesus but only one came back to testify and thanked him. This one person got more that the physical healing. And I pray that the ppl that i prayed for will be like this one man. =)

God also encouraged my frds who are down. Pray tat they will all continue to move ahead!

There are so little things I can do, but I'm so glad tt the little prayers I made to a great God is nt jus heard but answered. God is indeed powerful and faithful!

This morn when i woke up at 748am, it was raining sooo heavily. I prayed to God that the rain will stopped when i really wake up to go zoo with HQ. And God is faithful! At 8am, I woke up again to realise that the rain had stopped. From raining cats and dogs to no rain at all within 15 mins. I'm amazed. Thots just flowed into my mind and I'm too thankful to continue sleeping. =D

Had been a real mad rush this semster since sch reopens. Wish all my graduating and N level students success in their coming exams! Also my Inno boys to do well in their competition! (Thot really feel puzzled and disappointed by some attitudes, still hoping that there will be changes and they will all succeed. What I can do is ultimately limited.)

Finally, updates abt how i have been so far... jialat hasnt been doing much updating this yr... losing momentum. =P

Starting from June, went Malacca for church camp and spend a day with the drama team touring ard. Enjoyed the church camp getting to know my new cg and learning from God. Resolution from the camp is to keep myself uptodate and more aware of the happenings in the world by reading more. Since then, I try to read the newspaper daily and has been more interested in talking about current affairs. It has been a positive change as I see myself more equipped and informed, and the more I read, the more I realised I had missed much in the past.

School reopens in July and we celebrated Youth day. First time I sang solo on the stage. Further, I sang an English song which I just learnt a day ago! Haha Malo... so Paiseh =|
Err... I played cheat abit la, played a track that has the original singer singing cos I really can't follow the music (thot i can't hear much still on the stage). =P But okie lah... chosen the song "If we hold on together" becos it's a meaningful song and I specially choose it for the N and O level students. (Yong Xin Liang Ku hor... hee)

This week is National Day week!!! Looking forward to go for a retreat with Eileen and Peifang at Sentosa beach. Wanna book chalet but was too late, everywhere is fully booked. But okie lah, surely we will still enjoy ourselves, relaxing, playing and spending time seeking God. May we have a refreshing and memorable time ahead!

Dear (HQ) is in reservist for 3 weeks and has been sick lately. Pray that he will be healed (IN JESUS NAME!) Miss u.

Looking forward also to acc Joel to try her wedding gown in Msia on the 31st Aug. Jus meet Karen and got to see her wedding pictures and wow! saw the loveliest wedding gown i have ever see. Haha will be more critical in helping Joel choose hers liao. Muahaha... prob can collect data for my reference in the future. Hee

Anyway, Happy 42th Birthday, Singapore!!! I'm fortunate to be born here, and seeing the whole world in perspective, let me not take for granted all I have. God, continue to open my eyes to see the world thr Your eyes. =)

May God bless everyone who has been patient with me and read thr my post till here. Thanks. =D

Have been trying to find a way to upload my pictures... having prob with slide.com... Trying on a new software now, picasa web album. Seems quite good for me. =)

http://picasaweb.google.co.uk/sarahtoh2002

Lots to update but now gotta go off... will update again.. =P

Has been really long since i update my blog... busyness and at times dunno what to say bah. Since January lots of things had happened. Good and not so good...

Anyway, I'm attached on the 11th March! Have lots to say about me and HQ and how God leads us together.
Summarised here:
Feel like a romance drama... we were together for a very short time in 2000. But ended the r/s knowing that we were not ready and uncertain if we were meant for each other. (In fact we broke off on the 12th March 2000, haha, the r/s continues 7 years later.)
7 years passed and now we are brought together again, this time assured that we are meant for each other and receiving lots of guidance, blessings and assurance from God.

Love is not just a feeling but a decision and commitment.
Long journey ahead... unknown yet thanking and trusting God.

On reflection, since after setting my new year resolutions, I thank God for these weeks that i realised i have been keeping to it. Haha. Have been seeking God more regularly despite being very busy at work these weeks, reading a book now (half way thr now) and exercising at least once a week. Wow, amazing! Haha, din even consciously think of my resolutions. Pray that I will continue to be more disciplined and of cos, pray that the year ahead will be one that is better than all the rest in the past as I experience more of God and see transfomations in more aspects of my life!

This week hadn't been easy for me also mainly in the aspect of relationships with people. It strained me quite alot emotionally when there's conflicts and misunderstandings. Experience tensions and disappointments from sis, friends and students. Tried to resolve all of them, at least on my part as i tried to talk things out. Received the best response from my sis as we both desire for our relationship to grow deeper. Thanks sis for being so willing to listen in your humility and love.

Attended a seminar yest nite organised by RBC Ministries at St. Andrew Cathedral. It was a refreshing time for me. The speaker was going through the passage on Phil 2: 5-11. Verse by verse he shared insights to them. Through the sharing, we learnt how practical theology is to our daily living, helping us understand deeper about the Word and the principles and messages underlying.
Some things that struck me are:
1. Heb 5:8 - "Jesus learned obedience from what he suffered." An all-knowing Jesus surely understand the essence of obedience as he obeyed God in walking thr the days of his life knowing what sufferings were in store for him. Obedience is definitely not for the helpless and lost, Jesus, as great as he is, displayed the essence of it.
2. It's not just the physical sufferings which Jesus gone thr that was terrible. The spiritual suffering was worst. At the hours when he was on the cross, when the earth shook and skies turned dark, that was the time when the sins of all men was upon Him. The only time in the whole eternity he was separated from God till he couldnt even call God "Father" but "My God".
On the cross, Jesus demonstrated his love for us as we looked at the extreme sufferings he went thr for us. On the cross, God showed us how much He hates sin through the extent of sufferings Jesus had to go thr.
3. The Trinity is in absolute equality, but when it comes to serving God's purpose, there's submission and servanthood. What an example we shld learn!
4. The whole heaven rejoices and God is glorified everytime we respond to God in obedience.
During the prayer time, I was reminded by a verse: "sin is anything that falls short of the standards of God". Big and small things, anything that fall short of God's perfect standards are sins that God hates and that drove Jesus to the cross.
An attitude that I received after that prayer time is that all the more I will want to seek to know God's standards and His ways and allow God to lead me such that I will not keep on doing things that He hates. Even though I am far from perfect, I know that everytime when I respond to God in obedience, it pleases Him. =)

It has been long since i updated my blog. Besides being busy, i remembered my blog address wrongly, mistaking '.' as '@'. =P
Many things had past since i last blogged. I went to HongKong with Eileen and Jieyun, performed for Christmas services, holidays past, had argument and patched up with Yuyou and many things that impacted my life and ppls' life.
Like wat was shared in sermon last Sun, 2006 has past. The past had to be left and treated as it is, the past. The past, both good and bad things that had happened, can paralyse the present & terminate the future if we refuse to let it go and look ahead. We shld be willing to see that the best part of our lives is not wat's behind us but it's wat in front of us. Giving thanks for the good things that had happened and the reflections and things learnt from the 'not so good' things, 1 thing I strive for, "letting go of wat is behind and straining towards wat is ahead, I press on toward the hope that God has for me in my future". As long as I have one more breath to breathe, I pray that I will strive on with all I can to grow in Him.
A new year has started, the same I prayed for my family, friends and students- that they will not be defeated by the past or dwell in past glories, but they will strive on ahead and pursue the future with hope. God has a specific and wonderful plan and purpose for all of our lives and may all of us find that in Him.

< Jesus replied:"Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. Love your neighbor as yourself." > Matt 22: 37 & 39

For 2 weeks, this word "faithfulness" was lurking at the back of my mind and appearing many times thr many lessons, ways and means.

"There was a rich man who was going for a journey, he called his servants and entrusted his property to them. To each of them he gave different portions according to their abilities. Then he went away. All, except one servant, continue to invest and prosper the master's property. This servant, who happened to also be the one given the least portion, just kept the money and did nothing with it. When the rich man returned, all except this servant presented profits to the master and were rewarded with more. When asked, he acknowledged that he knew the master expected profit, but yet, he jus hid the money away. Consequently, what he has was taken away and he was chased out." Simplified Matt 25:14-30

Like the master, God is not looking at how much we have done nor the success we brought, but how faithful we have been in managing wat is given to us - our life - our time, finance, work, family, relationships, possessions, health, strengths, lessons learnt and experiences.

These was shared to me thr a Rick Warren's CD I heard with Cryst and it got me thinking about how faithful i have been with wat i'm entrusted with... answer: Not very.

The book that I'm reading "Pathway to Purpose" causes me to think deeper as I think thr some crucial questions presented. Since God entrusted us with a life span and make us who we are, what do i understand is my most impt role in life?" "What's the 2nd & 3rd? What are the daily opportunities for me to use my natural and spiritual giftedness for these purposes? Of cos, i wrote a long answer to these.

Hmmm.. I will continue to work on my life in this aspect about being faithful with wat i have. Dun wanna superficially think about it and brush it aside. May God equip me in this. =) Myself jiayou!!!
