Thank God for being faithful :) Indeed He listens to prayers and is never far :) Actually I ain't sure whether I should say thank God for answering prayers, because I don't know what is happening now is due to answered prayers or just by His will it happens :) Or maybe it is His will that I pray about it, so in a way it's like answering my prayers? Haha, I remembered asking Shawn about this before...
So anyway, IA has been rather fine! :) I still remember when I first started out everytime I'm given something to do I had like a sense of importantness cos I'm doing something lol... But now when I'm doing stuffs it's like mundane and expected of me, no special feeling whatsoever. But I'm glad it's like that now :D
My colleagues are nice and fun-loving bunch of people, teasing here and there hehe. They're helpful too :) Thank God for blessing me with colleagues so nice because I know not everyone can enjoy this.. <=) So must be appreciative for what/who I am blessed with!
Actually in this IA I realised that God really didn't withhold His grace and love for me :) Like even the shuttle bus is near my place, there's people whom I can go to night classes with, I can eat with either colleagues or interns, the people are helpful, the toilet is clean [hehe], I can do both onsite and desk bound duties, the vending machine is free hahahaha ok la as in the point I'm trying to make across is that I am thankful for the environment I'm placed in and people I'm placed with! :)
And even though it might not be smooth-sailing in the future I hope that I can maintain the same attitude of thankfulness and reverence for God :) Or even more! :)
Also embarked on the bible reading plan with Shawn, manage to keep to it so far by His grace! :) In Job I learnt about God and His wonderful creation of nature :) It's such great honor that the Creator of the Universe, the Dictator of nature and man and animals, reaches out to save me through Christ! :) He is so great, and I'm just a puny little insignificant figure in His great big universe, but I'm dear to Him!
Ephesians 5:1-2 Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children, and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.
Can never truly grasp full understanding of God's love and His ways as He said in Isaiah 55:9 As the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts.
:)
Oh anyway I wanted to say that in GSK one of the equipment [reactor?? cooler? Forget liao :X] they have has the logo/brand 'Christ'!!! :OO Actually I think I saw before somewhere too, but it's like whoa! :D
Today and yesterday I received compliments and felt that the right attitude to taking the compliments is to acknowledge God's goodness and not to let my head swell because of that. Must always remember that what I have comes from God Himself and it is He who equips me with all good works that He wants me to do.
Ephesians 2:10 For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
And also not to seek man's approval and compliment! I think this is very important to note, that we are not doing things for self-glorification, but that in us God should be glorified. I'm slowly learning and understanding all the big ideas for myself, thank God for spiritual growth in Christ. :)
Galatians 1:!0 Am I now trying to win the approval of men, or of God? Or am I trying to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ.
Alright, shall go do my stuffs liao! Praise the Lord for who He is, and what He has done :) God's people, Praise God! ;)
