GOD is good..ALL the time...!

i'm back from college!! hehe..there weren't really any lessons today...and the class from 3pm to 5pm was cancelled...not cancelled but the lecturer said "skip la"..haha..i was so overjoyed to hear that...he won't be teaching today anyway..so why waste time? well, sometimes i really feel thankful to have some less hardworking lecturers when my timetable is so overpacked..so i was free after 1pm today..

then my friend came to me and said that there'll be a cf (christian fellowship) meeting at 2pm...*claps hands*...hehe..i'm really really happy that we finally have cf in college!!been longing for it as i've mentioned in my previous post..but too bad i missed the praise and worship session due to my blurness not knowing where it was held..the attendance today was not bad too..so many more people than i expected..i'm so so looking forward to the next cf meeting next monday!

during the fellowship after the games..my friend shared a story with my lecturer and i listened too..it's a story about the pearl necklace...

once, there was a girl who loved a plastic pearl necklace so much that she used up all her savings and allowances to buy it..then one night, her dad came to her and asked the girl, "if you love me, can you give me ur pearl necklace?" the girl answered, "i love you daddy..i can give you EVERYTHING i have but not this plastic pearl necklace..."

the following night, the girl's dad asked the same thing and again she answered, "i love you daddy..u can take everything i have, all my barbie dolls...but not this necklace..."

the following night, again her dad asked the same question...this time, the girl gave it to him and her dad asked, "why?i thought you love the necklace very much?"

and the girl answered, " yes, but i love you more..."

then the girl's dad took out a beautiful purple velvet box from behind and gave it to her..and when she opened it..it was a REAL pearl necklace..

the father in the story represents our Father in heaven..He will not give up asking us to surrender our everything to him...and when we do, He will bless us with so much more than we have...

i'm not sure if i've heard of this story before but it did strike my heart..i think i've not surrendered enough to Him...i really need to learn to really surrender EVERYTHING to GOD....then only i can receive the gifts He has in store for me...

p/s. i'm so very sleepy right now but i'm trying not to sleep cause i don't wanna waste it..i'm grabbing every opportunity to come home early...i'm too tired to do anything right now...blessed i am to be able to get all my text books today though there were insufficient books for everyone..must be God's blessing..4 thick books and i've just finished wrapping them...

till then!
