Went for the "Discovering Your Spiritual Gifts" course today. Ri Xin told us to meet at 830am in church but I went there early and the church is not open yet. Ended up having to wait at the gates. In the end, Ah Bin, Ah Tan, Ah Dian, Ah Ting and Ophe waited at the gates for Xie da ge to come. We decided not to get into the church by crawling under the gates. Haha.

Anyway the course is really good and well God has answered my prayer during the course. Haha Each of us were to think of wad our passion is. Well, mine is Visual Arts/Fine Arts/Drama etc. Think that is really obvious, I have always love Arts. Like the grace and beauty of things. Next we had to do a 130qns spiritual gift assessment and then an observation questionaire by 3 friends. It was after this whole thing that I was able to find out accurately what my spiritual gifts are. My spiritual gifts are craftsmanship and visual communication. Frankly speaking, I never knew these 2 gifts are spiritual gifts... I thought they were more of interests. Never knew spiritual gifts include art stuffs. But come to think of it I am not surprise with being given these 2 gifts.

That is the reason why God let me enter SADM (Svhool of Arts, Design & Media). God wants me to learn skills during my 4 years studies and then use it to do his works and through his works, glorify Him and edify (builds up) others.I still remember how sad and confused I was during the A level period because I just couldn't see a university course that I be interested in. I don't like science and humanities. I am more towards fine arts but during the A level, there was no SADM. Now come to think of it, it is not surprising that SADM got introoduced! I AM SO HAPPY TO ENTER MY COURSE! MY DREAM COURSE! AND I COULDN'T HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT GOD! Haha... Now I can pursue my dreams of studyong Arts. In the past, I get all teary-eyed when I watched dancers sliding across the stage gracefully, even beautiful paintings and all that make me cried cos I see it and I see myself not being able to do Arts, not given an opportunity to study them. If I didnt study science and enter JC, I would have miss this opportunity to study at SADM. Its much easier SADM with an 'A' level certificate then after graduating from poly looking at the number of A level students in my course. God is really great at planning. When all seems hopeless, out pop God with His plan and look where I am now... in SADM. All thanks to God! Haha God knows me best.

My 2nd spiritual gift is Mercy but it is not so prominent. I really don't how mercy can fit into this whole Arts thing. Guess I need to put on my thinking cap. With 3 spiritual gifts, well... It is really a lot. Kinda worried about that cos God will hold me accountable for the gifts. Once he give me the gifts, I have to use it to do His words... God don't give away gifts for fun. He gives it to us so we can use it to do His works. The more gifts we have, the more we have to be responsible for it. Haha That reminds me of the spiderman 2 DVD which I watched yesterday " With great powers come great responsibility". Haha How true can that be... But since God has given me shall use it to do his works.

So now I shall study really hard during the 4 years university course and used what I learn to do his works. YEAH! This makes studying much easier cos I don't study for the sake of studying, I study cos I wanna learn the skills needed. So happy! God has finally answered my prayer on what He wants me to do for Him. YEAH! Glory to God! Haha. Ever since that very Sunday where finally God has help me to understand and let go of my past... From that day onwards, I learnt lots of new stuff. Though I have being a christian for many years, it is only recently that I start to be serious and really want to have a closer relationship with God. I can see how God has changed me. Haha A leopard can't change its spot but its spots do change when God is the one who is doing the change. Haha! Ok time to go study!
