Hmmm.. come to think of it, i'm not really THAT hungry.. for the past 3 wednesdays, i have been going on a 24 hour [wait!! Come to think of it, i think it's more than 24 hours haha] fast.. yeah.. believing God for a greater breakthrough for the coming A&B.. which is coming this weekend!! So exciting.
I guess the challenge really started on the first wednesday. 1st time 24 hour fast, wha.. i'm like going mad.. MAD haha.. And it was a great struggle... but the 2nd week got better.. today.. hmmm.. didn't really feel that nua. Guess i'm really getting used to it.. seeing a breakthrough coming...
Let me share with you all why do Christians fast
Turn with me to Isa 58:6 "Is this not the fast that i have chosen: to loose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, to let the oppressed go free, and that you break every yoke?
From this verse, there's 4 reasons:
1) To loose the bonds of wickedness
2) To undo the heavy burdens
3) To let the oppressed go free
4) To break every yoke.
When we fast, we are believing God for a great breakthrough that is to come..
Mt 17:21
"... fasting and praying"
So, when we fast, we also lift up our prayers to God..
When i think about how to withstand 24 hours, i'm like apprehensive. But the breakthrough is the most beautiful thing.. I really can understand what Jesus meant, when He said In Mt 4:4 "it is written, 'Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.' " Yeah!! Though there's a void physically, but i feel that during fasting, i feel very spiritually charged, esp more when i go for bible study.. on wednesdays.

Ok, now's here the flash on Mr Tua Leng Kong a.k.a Matrix Revo
I see myself more conscious when i'm driving. I feel that though i have my license, but i do feel deprived at times that i'm not able to be 'independent'. Until now, i still need my daddy with me when i drive.. Well... i know that i do take quite sometime to get into the situation, but well, hope that i have the confidence to manage the car on my own... which also includes driving in the night.. until now i hasn't learnt driving at night...never drove in the night...
Today i drove to my new student's house. If u read my previous blog, i had a new student, which i thought is a malay. Lo and Behold! Hmmm.. imagine my shock when i knocked on the door, and a Teochew granny opened the door for me. Well, the gal looks chinese, and has dark complexion. And she has a chinese surname and name. Then it dawned on me that she's malay-chinese.... haha offtopic. Today i drove on the dreaded roundabout.. When i was driving towards the roundabout, i was thinking: which lane? Left or right.... Yours truly isn't very familiar with the roundabout since it's not a Class 3 driving test requirement. i think it's right, but then can also be left... Then daddy suddenly say, :"Right lane... check the lane before u go in lah" Hehe.. praise God.. Today's driving is considered quite an enjoyable one.. drove in the morning to Teban, and early evening i drove to RN's house via AYE exiting at 15A at corporation flyover.. I'm improving on this, which is fantastic!! Though daddy estimated a wrong turn, but it was a good time as i learnt how to swiggle through small and tiny roads in that area.
Ok ... been blogging for about 20mins. Gtg. Chiao!
