=) Encouraged by the many testimonies of how God's hands are guiding us in our studies!
I’ve been quite busy..haha so tt’s why I only posted this now.. This post has been sitting in my laptop for quite sometime since the first QT =P
Think during this time, there are a lot of thanksgiving points onto God.
1)I wanna thank God too for giving me an idea for my protein engineering term paper, ha the one which many of ur had heard me rant about, having to come out with a novel protein..had been cracking my head over it for a long long time.. =P But eventually I really thank God for popping an idea into my mind as i was praying and researching at the same time. Thank God that I managed to come up with a first draft within the 'date of completion' which I had set myself..it's quite an amazing feat considering when i tried to think of an idea myself, i pondered for weeks, but with God, from no idea to research, to completing the first draft , it took around just a week.. =P Yup.. have handed up the paper, so it’s in God’s hands! =)
2) As all or most of ur know that I was having a sore throat last Tuesday.. then I have a project meet on Wednesday and a presentation on Friday.. I thank God for healing me by then.. =) n in a way Wednesday He made way to allow me to have a good rest.
3) Thank God for our new sister, Huiling as well!! If ur have not met her, can get to know her during service etc.. She really ‘dropped’ from heaven… =P She responded to God herself.. So powerful! Then, thank God for working in our midst, see frens like Wenjuan, Zhichun etc coming to know Him.. =)

Yup.. before we have a QT tomorrow, maybe share to ur about this passage, the passage which we did not get to read during the first QT, cos first QT we are reflecting upon what we’ve learnt during the sub-d teaching ‘Forging a real world faith’ Did the rest of ur thought about it? Can share here or to each other when we meet .=)
If ur are feeling tired, stressed, discouraged even? Can read this passage.. David and the Goliath.1Samuel 17 .It will not be an unfamiliar passage I believe..
The passage talks about having victory in our battle..some points to think about :
1) What sets David apart from the rest of the Philistine that he is able to defeat the Goliath?
2) What can we learn from David in this case?
Application:
1) Are there any ‘goliaths’ in ur life? (goliath in this case can be challenges, struggles)
2) What are the steps that we can take to overcome them?
Ha.. it’s a long post.. Despite the busy period, let’s continue to draw closer to God ! This will be a great time to learn to trust and depend on Him!! =)
Jia you bro and sis!! Cya tml for QT!
Yufen =)
