First day of the semester .

I received my parking fine on the first day of my semester, I woke up at 1030am this morning which i was meant to be up at 830am......as usual, it didn;t happen and I had to quickly change and just jumped into my car.

I had class from 11am tis morning to 5pm without any break, thats why I couldn't go to the car park and move my car.

So when I finished my class at 5pm, walking toward the car park and anticipating the fine ticket on my windscreen.

$23 fine doesn't expensive, but it worth 2 meals plus one breakfast, I guess for my next fews day I will be eating instant noodles again.....

The new challenge for me in his semeste is about tutoring, I had a chance to tutor one of the IT subject. I did the same subject in about two yeas, this subject is about how to store data in a computer by designing a database, which require drawing a lot of diagram conceptual diagram to represent some of the real world situation. I like this subject very much, I guess I just like drawing diagram and represent my thoughts in some sort of diagram.

And the best thing of it is that .... I have my own office !! ...well ...not exactly my own, I share the office with 3 other people, but I have the key to access to the office any time I want and free printing......
And lastly, we went to pacific house for dinner on sunday nite, just to enjoy the last day of the holiday. The foods was so yummy.

Yummy foods doesn;t come with a cheap price, as a result, my menu for dinners this week will probably looks like this:

Tue to Sun: Instant noodles

Come and meet Sam

What if your best friend gave your a present on your birthday, and tells your that it is a very expensive gift in there. Without opening it, you wll never know what is inside.

God wants to give us a gift, but without taking a step to acknowledge it, we will never fidn out what it was.

"Truth is not determined by majority vote. It is, by definition, objectively true whether anyone believes it or not. The world was still round even when most of its inhabitants believe it was flat. God is still God even when millions deny Him. His word is still His word, not withstanding all those who try to explain it away"

In the previous post, archeologists were trying to prove if the bible was correct. to me, the bible is real, a history book which recorded what happned in the past, and also to tell us what gonna happen in the future.

and........"It is written, Christ is risen"

"Stronger - Hillsong Live"

There is Love That came for us

Humbled to A sinners cross

You broke my shame and sinfulness

You rose again victorious

------------------------

Faithfulness

None can deny

Through the storm

And through the fire

There is truth that sets me free

Jesus Christ who lives in me

------------------------

You are stronger

You are stronger

Sin is broken You have saved me

It is written Christ is risen

Jesus You are Lord of all

------------------------

No beginning And no end

You’re my hope and my defence

You came to seek and save the lost

You paid it all upon the cross

-----------------------

Let Your Name be lifted higher

Be lifted higher

Be lifted higher

The story of the Jericho City

In the modern day, there is this nation call Egypt, and Iraq. Between them, there is a nation call Isreal.



Look closer to the map above, you can see Isreal.



Whn you look closer to Isreal, you can see the city call Jerusalem, to its right, is the city call Jericho.




Jericho city was a city mentioned in the bible and also archeologists have found prove for the existence.

Scientific view: The Jericho City was existed in the past and was destroyed in the late Bronze Age, about 1400 BC year.

In the bible: Joshua was leading his army for the invasion of Jericho city as God had promise them the promise land.

Scientific view: archeologists found in the region of the Jericho city with ruin of tumbled walls, preliminary conclusion for the reason of destruction of Jericho city was earthquake.

In the bible: Joshua, as instructed by God, led his army and marched around Jericho city seven times, they shouted on the seventh day, then the city collapsed,Joshua and his army went in to the city and destroyed everything.

Scientific view: To find prove for what it said in the bible, archeologists collected different facts.
They found enough evidencethat the walls of Jericho falls not by earthquake. Jericho city was in the high land, archeologists also found evidence says that the mud brick wall fell and became a ramp for a mean to be able to ascend to the city. A layer of burned ash was also found in the ciry, which the archelogist suggested that city was burned by fire.

In the bible: The bible said that Joshua led the Isrealites army into Jericho and destroyed/burn the city

The standing wall:

Scientisfic view: all the walls was fallen, but archeologists found a section of the mud-brick wall over two meters tall remained and it had houses built against.

In the bible: Rahab, who helped the spies from Joshua's army and let them escaped Jericho city to report back to Joshua, and she believed in God being faithful, because of that God promised to spare her and her family's life from the attack of the Jericho city.

Scientific view: the standing wall was the only wall remain standing without any damages. The location of it was at the North side of the jericho city, which was the direction where the spies from Joshua;s army went in to the city. It is believed that the standing wall could be the house of Rahab.

God is powerful and real, He does miracle in the bible, after so many years, scientist or archeologists trying to prove the Bible, and it seems like more and more evidence were discovered.

Bible could be just a story book to someone, but to me it is more like a history book which recorded what had happened in the past.

Jericho city was destroyed by Joshua and his army, which believe only in one God, the God who did, is doing and will do micracle.

God is the same for yesterday, today and tomorrow.

thinking.....listening

When you have problem, you will just keep thinking about it, and wonder if God is listening to you, or is He near?

Is He listening to us? Or should we ask another question, are we listening to Him? Are we too distracted by our current situation and actually letting His thoughts or voice passing by?

I want to know God's thoughts... the rest are details.
Albert Einstein

We can always focus on"listening" when things are going well, .......... but when things gone badly, we complaint....................."Do we fear Him for nothing?"

"Be strong and courageous, Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go", Joshua 1:9

No matter waht we do, there should alwasy be an attitude of excellence, and do not give up, the victory is already there, just need to believe and proclaim it.

What matter the most is not the result, but the process which will make us grow.

Just to share a song that i like here :)

DESERT SONG Words and Music by Brooke Fraser

This is my prayer in the desert
When all that’s within me feels dry
This is my prayer in my hunger and need
My God is the God who provides

This is my prayer in the fire
In weakness or trial or pain
There is a faith proved
Of more worth than gold
So refine me Lord through the flame

I will bring praise
I will bring praise
No weapon formed against me shall remain
I will rejoice
I will declare
God is my victory and He is here

This is my prayer in the battle
When triumph is still on its way
I am a conqueror and co-heir with Christ
So firm on His promise I’ll stand

This is my prayer in the harvest
When favour and providence flow
I know I’m filled to be emptied again
The seed I’ve received I will sow
