# data[].attributes.body
2nd Jab next week

# data[].attributes.body
Learnt about the difference between complete faith and little faith. Also the importance of recognizing the fact that we need help to overcome our doubts about God.

# data[].attributes.body
Thanks for the lesson today! Learnt about how we each practice faith, liked the analogy about the crane (working together w God)

# data[].attributes.body
Understanding the two parables about God and how each symbol has its own meanings. I learnt how Jesus used the parables to describe what happens to the people.

# data[].attributes.body
always busy haha. I need to move out of hall this week and I've a couple of meetings/ also medical appointment haha. Quite excited for one of the meetings; I met her at an interreligious event. Pray for me as I continue to minister to others, for good balance between school, ministry, and MY PERSONAL WALK W GOD

# data[].attributes.body
Finally getting vaccinated 2nd dose, pray for good health, have the strongest side effects out of my family.

# data[].attributes.body
I enjoyed Suzanne's reflection, about considering what is the truth that I've borne. I think I am not as passionate or uncomfortable with this enough; too distraction with other busyness

# data[].attributes.body
last paper tmr XD

# data[].attributes.body
lit paper 1 tmr :(

# data[].attributes.body
I pray for focus to continue grinding science mcqs.

# data[].attributes.body
I think as a Christian despite how we really do not like it, we need to accept it and stay strong and firm.

# data[].attributes.body
Balancing ministry with school work
pray for the christmas outreach!! For govt to open up, for our planning, for PEOPLE TO COME AND HEAR THE GOOD NEWS

# data[].attributes.body
I was very encouraged by the questions that were asked during today's session, I hope that we will continue to reading the word and puzzle over the things we do not understand. May we speak to our peers and leaders so we may know how to live our lives better and apply it. Personally, I am reflecting on how to ask better questions (what is the focus of the word) and veer away from valid questions that are not central to the message.

and of course, thinking of how I can apply these very very familiar verses

# data[].attributes.body
Tmr a levels start TT

# data[].attributes.body
ehhh 1 more week to a levels TT

# data[].attributes.body
feeling a bit sick, perhaps with the overwhelming number of things that I need to do/ am involved in. Have 3 (big) things this week - exam, final paper, and a written response.

# data[].attributes.body
SS paper and to do well for Science MCQs

# data[].attributes.body
up coming project works and CA1 preparations

# data[].attributes.body
ss and bio exam back to back tmr (x - x)

# data[].attributes.body
I think in how do we go forward with distancing ourselves from material needs and wants? And like how we need to constantly ensure we are continuing ministry of Jesus

# data[].attributes.body
The five authorities that Jesus has and to not seek the actions that Jesus does instead of who Jesus is.

# data[].attributes.body
This was yet another very dense lesson! I enjoyed looking at the questions and answers, puzzling over why Jesus answered as he did. I will continue to mull over 'how to lead people to authentically follow Christ' (c.f. our discussion about the cost of discipleship and what is true discipleship). For myself to reflect on as well.

# data[].attributes.body
Hope my new class is chill

# data[].attributes.body

Ask, Seek, Knock (What does this teach us about God's character)

# data[].attributes.subject
Ask, Seek, Knock (What does this teach us about God's character)

# data[].attributes.body
God is generous, he is willing to give to us as long as we ask. It teaches us to give back to people who have helped us and more. We should help others so that we may also receive help when we need it.

# data[].attributes.body
I think like the saying "pot calling the kettle black" one must not judge others based on their flaws if yourself have the same flaws too (knowingly). Even you do so --> you must admit you have the same flaw and are making attempts to corrrect it?

When we give an opinion about others i think it must be critical about it and direct for them to reflect on it despite the denial and how hard it is --> it is must be for their own good --> not flattery words --> as it does not do good for their character in the long run?

# data[].attributes.body
believing that we can only rely on ourselves whenn facing our problems and that we ourselves may not be able to handle them is usually the cause of our anxiety.

trusting that god is with and will help us through our difficulties can help overcome our anxiety as we now know that we are not alone and that god is looking out for us and caring for us

What does our attitude about money and possession reveal about our values and loyalties in life

# data[].attributes.subject
What does our attitude about money and possession reveal about our values and loyalties in life

# data[].attributes.body
Our attitude about money and possession shows how much we care about the earthly possession more than God. We cannot serve both God and money. Its either we love money and not love God or we devote our lives for God and not really care about out money and possessions in life.

# data[].attributes.body
Will pray for you guys!
Very thankful for being able to read the Bible more than usual this week (HAHA admittedly I don't read that much). Have some tests this week and I'm trying to reach out to a friend more during this season of life (she's a foreigner without family here)

# data[].attributes.body
Let me spend my last 2 weeks of holiday fruitfully.

# data[].attributes.body
thank God for all my subjects passing. trying to slow down even with a mock exam again in less than a week... feeling a bit burn out. Help my friends whose results are still TT

# data[].attributes.body
o levels in 9 days :(((

1. repentance is something cognitive; have to acknowledge that I am wrong. Also requires action and change after the acknowledgement.
2. Frankly, not really? I suppose I know there is significance (e.g. baptism linked to salvation, linked to reception of the spirit, etc. there are such verses in the Bible) but not something I think about too often. If I were to recall my baptism, I would likely think more about the events surrounding that time.
3. Temptations as an adult seem different, maybe because right/wrong is not as clear anymore (tempted to sleep, tempted to 'self care', which can link to things like not serving in church or something haha) I generally don't think of myself as being often tempted?
4. Be alive. Haha. and live a good life; loving/being in awe of/worshipping God and loving others.

Does your baptism/confirmation bear any significance to you? How so?

can't believe my first week of holidays is already over... I'm kind of dreading this coming week, knowing that I've to spit out approx 5k words over a few papers I've to finish haha. please pray for productivity, concentration, and enjoyment.

# data[].attributes.body
Good break this holiday, do something meaningful this holiday

Pray for results, so far my teachers said everyone did horrendously.

# data[].attributes.body
Ahaha my last 3 papers for prelims and time to pray

# data[].attributes.body
Self-reflection when reading the bible

# data[].attributes.body
eng listening and chem paper 1 tmr :((

# data[].attributes.body
Today's class was a simple factual lesson about Matt 1-2; the genealogy of Jesus, seeing how he is the fulfillment of the OT, and looking at the birth narrative.
Some thoughts about the sins I've committed/ how I became conscious of sins... I think that most people have a conscience and can recognise that they have done 'bad things' in their lives. They have 'missed the mark' in their relationships with their friends, families, etc, so I think that if one takes time to reflect and not push the blame of their rudeness/ wrongful actions to things like 'tiredness' or 'everyone does it... we can surely realise that we are fallen people (c.f. Rom 1 ff)

thanks suzanne for prepping! I appreciate some of the interesting points you brought up - eg intertextuality within the Bible and about God's inclusivity

# data[].attributes.body
Ummm... I think it is to really humble ourselves and self reflect as I think pride tend to come in the waY for one to actually confide and seek God. So by taking that first step it will allow us to seek God's word easily and see yourselves as needing help

# data[].attributes.body
Reflecting and comparing what I have done to what I have read in the bible.

# data[].attributes.body
unbiased self-reflection and reading the bible to find out what sins u could have committed

haha it was my birthday in the past week; recently have been having difficulty sleeping (feeling a bit burnt out which makes me less efficient and it becomes a cycle of piling deadlines). can pray for resilience! ive been thinking about my direction in life as well; about my strengths and weaknesses, and learning about how to honour God with what I have rather than going to places where there is a need or what people tell me is 'good for me'. Keeping all of us in prayer!
