Monday, August 22, 2005 || ×?No Way Out?×
- Being caught up is one thing. To be troubled by the fact dat God has placed u in smth dat will later proof contrary to His Word is a whole other new problem.
I've been recently troubled by my course itself. DMD is no doubt an arts course, and it sometimes kills me havin' to conceive different designs every single wk. I dun mind dat, cuz I noe I'm working towards something dat I've wanted to do for sometime alrdy. Or rather... ONE of those things.
The complication?
If I'm to enter into a local university, I would haf to take the Bachelor of Fine Arts program, and dat would mean oso havin to take up... dun gross out now... nude drawing! I'm being frank here. However, I haven't really clarified this doubt yet, but u can bet I'm concerned, although its hearsay. Does dat mean God wants me to stop my education @ Diploma lvl? My parents aren't willing to spend yet another BOMB on me going overseas to study. Or does He haf another way out for me in furthering my education? I shan't question The Creator anymore (arghh). His plans will be perfect in time to come. Not my will, but His.
Dat brings me to the sermon preached ytd by Pastor Dale on 'The Quality of Our Faith'. For the sermon summary go to Josh's blog which I've linked in the column on the left. Praise God! I got a revelation! God wants me to take my faith a step further, but He mentioned dat in dayz to come, I will haf to face many challenges so dat my faith can rise up. At dat moment, I dunnoe whether actually to thank Him or not. God's reply? "To become , you muz overcome..." Ok it was smth along those lines, but Praise God he's gonna raise me up again. May my sufffering glorify the name of Jesus Christ, whom He himself suffered for our iniquities!
Well, u bet things today didn't turn out the way they shld. Waking up like a zombie (I slept only for 5 hrs due to assignments); my card mock-up got rejected; my teacher lecturing my entire class dat we shldn't been lazy in doin our visual journals (extra work now added onto my increasingly complexed assignments). Life could be worse though. May faith in God pull me thru.
To top this off, I'd like to say God has nvr left me alone though. His assurance: the Ramah I received from reading Genesis today.
Genesis 7:13-16 - "On that very day Noah and his sons, Shem Ham and Japeth, together with his wife and the wives of his three sons, entered the ark. They had with them every wild animal according to its kind, every livestock according to their kinds, every creature dat moves along the ground according to its kind sand every bird according to its kind, everything with wings. Pairs of all creatures that have the breath of life in them in them came to Noah and entered the ark. The animals going in were male and female of every living thing, as God had commanded Noah. Then the Lord shut him in."
The significance: Many have wondered how this animal kingdom roundup happened. Did Noah and his son spend years collecting all the animals? In reality the creation, along with Noah, was doing just as God commanded. There seemed to be no problem gathering the animals - God took care of the details of dat job while Noah was doin' his part by building the ark. Often we do juz the opposite of Noah. We worry about details over which we have no control, while neglecting specific areas (such as attitudes, relationships, responsibilities) dat are under our control. Like Noah, concentrate on wat God has given you to do, and leave the rest to God.
(Adapted from The Life Application Bible, NIV)
Praise God! He will never leave those who trust in Him alone
Peace out and GB.
