that's not the end..think i learn a lot from ben's sharing subsequently about standing firm when the crunch time comes..it's veri true for me at least..was quite depressed by my slow progress in revision..reali contemplated of compromising in serving God at least for the next few wks..until the exams are over..juz focused on my studies, get the grades i want..but yet his sharing made me think again..it's can be easily done..throw in the towel and tt's it..if such things happen, how can i go thru' if tougher trials come along my my way if such a small thing i can't even cope or deal with?
I'm juz so encouraged by DErek when i met him up for shepherding after cg..felt juz so tired when i was on the train on the way to sengkang..but things took the change after i met him up..reali encouraged by this dear sheep/bro/frenz of mine..it's juz not easy at all to focus on so many things when he has his uni admission to worry abt, constantly on his mind..worrying for a gd reason..thinking of ways to improve his score while at the same time juggle with ns commitments..even ministry and band committee oso..not easy man..but he never gives up! still want to stand firm no matter wat..want to continue to grow..be a shepherd..i'm veri encouraged..third time i repeat this word..haha..i do mean a lot wat i say..among the many sheeps i had before, he is the only one whom i reali say has a veri gd heart towards God and pple and the closest in terms of relationship..Love u bro! : )

Acts 19 : 8 - 10
Then Paul went to the synagogue and preached boldly for the next three months, arguing persuasively about the Kingdom of God. But some rejected his message and publicly spoke against the Way, so Paul left the synagogue and took the believers with him. Then he began preaching daily at the lecture hall of Tyrannus. This went on for the next two years, so that people throughout the province of Asia--both Jews and Greeks--heard the Lord's message.
Psalm 1 (NLT)
Oh, the joys of those who do not follow the advice of the wicked, or stand around with sinners, or join in with scoffers. But they delight in doing everything the LORD wants; day and night they think about his law. They are like trees planted along the riverbank, bearing fruit each season without fail. Their leaves never wither, and in all they do, they prosper.
