What is wisdom? ---> a very interesting question my shepherd discussed with me through our usual dinner/ reading session today. Go ponder.

Its odd how working hard together draws people together. First hand experience at PL made me really wonder, where the satisfaction came from through the hard work of packing and moving packages of ammo around and sweating it out in a stuffy warehouse. But its amazing how the light hearted camaraderie and incessant chatter keeps you occupied such that time flies.

The long travelling time today was quite a blessing from God. The small prayers that i whisper, and the songs which i sing softly to myself on the train ride, reminded me of the grace that you've given me. Especially when Hosanna plays for some reason, the phrase "God who saves" pops up into my mind and it strikes a chord deep in my soul.

That God isn't a God who judges( well at least he judges fairly (:)
That God isn't there to condemn.
God isn't here to coerce.
God isn't here to watch you like a watchdog or a fierce parent.
God isn't here to enforce every moral rule upon you.

But He's here to set me free from sin and to save me from the mistakes that i've made over and over. I admit that mistakes aren't that easy to change but i know that i'm a work-in-progress (for a long long looooooong time to come.). But it really gives me great great joy to walk with God every day! :D

Just to hear his voice speak to me is reason enough.
Because His words and promises and more than i could ask for (:

P.S This is a shoutout to my breakfast partner at boon lay! Thank you for making my day hahaha!
