as u know.. I skipped to the loo a no. of times today (see the earlier blog) there's this motivational quote on the pillar ~ "BE A DREAMER AND A DOER! " This never fails to remind me of James 1:22...

The basic/foundation of all is FAITH... "Faith is substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Heb 11:1" had been reading Hebrews quite a lot lately... Heb 6:15 was the verse that Claire gave me... when I told her my desire to go SOT and how unsure I was... and when I came out and tried ascending towards my upward call. Once and again.. I was deflected left and right by the mr silly egg... by my ineffectiveness in ministries... drama-mania @ home... POs... work pileup... hermione is human... tempted to take the easy way out... why don't I quit... (then mr silly egg will grin from ear to ear.. ) but thank God that while I'm faithless.. HE is faithful to the end!!

At the beginning of 2004, Holy Spirit spoke to me that 2004 would a very different year... and I will have to work harder too... Indeed it was... but it was worth the price... to be moulded/ tested by God..

Heb 12: 3-11 ~ the title of this few verses is self-explanatory ~ the Discipline of God

Indeed.. these few months... got chastened.. By God... By Holy Spirit...by man of God... by women of God ... by boss (words of advice.. Not like giving me a lecture )going thru fine-tuning BUT I'm not complaining.. Cuz verse 5& 6 "And you have forgotten the exhortation which speaks to you as sons: "My son, do not despise the chastening of the Lord, Nor be discouraged when you are rebuked by Him; For whom the Lord loves He chastens, And scourges every son whom He receives."

And

Heb 12:11 " Now no chastening seems to be joyful for the present. but painful, nevertheless, afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it."
