Love Came Down

Wowsers, it's been ages since I've last updated...

So here's a quick recap from July till now

July
  •  LIFEGAME!!!!! WAS AWESOME!!! Did a total 360 degree change in my life which I thought was pretty good. But no, no, no. God wanted it to be BETTER. I now have a clearer purpose in what I want to do and Who I do it for: God.
  • Started new trimester, another grueling 12 weeks of classes.
  • We've since stopped our girl group because one of the members (our leader, sorta) found a FT job! Something she's been praying for about a year now! PTL!
  • The Cambodia mission team started to get to know each other a bit better. Plans and groups formed. Oh, yes, I'm going to Cambodia on a mission trip end of the year! Dunno if I've told you guys...now you know?

August
  • Assignments begin to pile up...stress stress stress
  • More responsibilities to handle as part of the mission team: evangelism training, distributing gospel tracts, meetings etc.
  • Being a part of this year's AYC fundraising!
  • Started this book called "A Love Worth Giving" by Max Lucado. Fantastic book, on the well-known "Love is patient, love is kind..." verse: 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 and have been incredibly touched by God's love that I cried after each chapter and I've only ever read like 3 so far. Not an easy feat I tell you, making me cry. But with God, anything is possible :)
  • Lost my job...no, no...I wasn't fired. It's only a temporary thing because our store is moving to another area, so we'll be shut down for August until they set up the new place to be open in September! It's hard having no income. Sigh... 

    September
    • Still no job...getting a bit worried/annoyed that they promised to contact us 1st Sept...and a week later, still no news. Annoyed because if it's gonna take this long, I could have found another job while waiting! /:
    • Assignment season..MORE stress!!! Spring = hayfever. Though I haven't felt the effects just yet.
    • MORE assignments! Hair-pulling and white hair start sprouting out
    • Mid-Autumn Festival; I'm organizing the 4-6yo kid's program for 'practice' before the Cambodia trip. God help me, I don't know how to look after 4-6yo...
    BUT, by God grace through my friends/family, throughout all these stressful times, I am reminded of God's patience, love and peace...

    Its probably the same for you guys too. Assignments, papers, tests or exams, problems with family or friends?? Remember God's love:
