today marks my last lesson for WD1..time flies..i will be heading on to WD2 next week..looking back i really got to thank GOd for providing me with the talent and finances and patience to last me through the times..times when i am down..and feeling outcast..=( WD2 will be focusing even more on the "Heart of God". Many at times i also want to know the Heart of God..what is God's heart for me leh?? today having lesson my instructor just said something-> "Kingdom of God." yes it's to build up the kingdom of God...

Many things happened this week..

1) i got my confirmation..yeah yeah !! praise God for it..seriously i've really been busy the past few months..plus the good thing is..my next salary review will be in june instead of Dec.

2) the project i'm working on..finally we had our first submission to SGX on wed..wat a relief i get to go back early now..

ok..back to my main topic..i was reading this article i picked up from the book " Our daily bread." and it struck me alot..

Blaise Pascal, the 17th century French mathematician and philosopher said, there's a God-shaped vacuum in every human heart.Centuries before Pascal, a man named AUgustine searched to fill the aching void in his own life. After he found what he had been mising, he wrote a prayer in which he said to God, " You have made us for Yourself, and our heart is restless until we find our rest in You" (Confessions).

Those twon thinkers have expressed what each one of us realizes in our quiet, reflective moments. Deep within us is a restless desire to know the One who made us. We want to discover the purpose He has for our existence in His vast universe. We long to find peace in a world that is being torn apart by feuding families, warring nations, militant religious groups, economic uncertainity, and self- destructive addictions.

At times we may try to suppress that longing. We may try to fill the emptiness with a busy life, community service, career pursuits, romantic relationships, or by trying to cover up the ache with drugs or alcohol. Even though we may try to suppress or deny that longing within us, it will surface again and again.
