hmm just before i forget, i'll write down a dream that i had last night. Which i'm pretty sure was not made up by me coz i've never dreamt of anything like this before. What made it really weird was that i had a dream and woke up from that dream into another dream. It's like having a dream, and in that dream, i had another dream. When i finally woke up, my head felt so heavy cause i don't think i actually had much sleep the whole night. It's like i was in a whole other 'dream world' and my mind was working non stop.
I remember the dream starting with me working(in some mine or something like that), then all of a sudden from my normal clothes, im suddenly wearing this white robe over my body. I thought it was extremely weird cause it just changed in that instant. So i decided to go back to 'town' to see what is happening..When i got to the 'town' it was in complete chaos cause heaps of people had just disappeared and there weren't many people left, it's as though people had just vanished into thin air. But besides me there were a few others who also experienced the same thing as me, and were also wearing a white robe, but the number of people who were wearing a white robe was very few. So i remember being really confused and lost as to what was going on. Then i heard this voice(i think it was meant to be God) saying that all the 'evil' people or those who did not believe in His name, He has taken them away. All that is left are the people who believed in His name, and claimed to call themselves 'Christians'. But only those wearing the white robes are allowed to enter heaven, the rest so claim to believe in Jesus will not be allowed to enter because of existing sins in their life that is preventing them to, or other things like their heart not being right with God. The shocking and depressing news is that, out of the crowd of people who claimed themselves to be believers, only very few of them will end up in heaven. Then my dream ended there..and i woke up in another dream..
hmm its pretty weird and i don't know what it means, hopefully i didn't miss anything out..
Well besides the dream, God has been good to me and has been answering my prayers a lot! Did pretty well in 2 assignments that i just got back today so im happy, reflected on some of the little prayers that i prayed for and God answered. God's really amazing haha.. Next big thing on my daily prayer list that i feel has a greater importance to me now is still for my spiritual father.. Really need to pray that i will be more sensitive to the voice of the Holy Spirit, that i would be able to hear His voice so clearly that i won't have to doubt at all, and that none of my personal feelings will get involved in this. Not that i have any favoritism, its just that i see almost like everyone in the men's net(besides uncle alex) as a brother, and would take me a while to adjust to the fact that they are now my 'spiritual father'. Ultimately i want it to be God's decision, and God's choice, cause thats the best choice.
Just to share what i did for devotion today, i read Matthew 6:32-34, which is about worrying.
32For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
Interestingly enough, i read this today, then at night the whole spiritual father thing came to me again, and i started worrying about it straight away..haha..thats badd. Well i read it again, and it realised that our heavenly father is a God of love who wants the best for us. And that He is our provider who will provide us with everything that we will ever need. All we have to do is seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and everything WILL be given to us. Sounds soo easy, but at the same time, not as easy as it sounds..God operates in a whole different realm from what we live in, and many times i find it really hard to operate in the spiritual realm. I guess it all just boils down to how much faith we actually have in God. To fully trust in him and be humble, which is to have utter and total dependence on God.
Sighh but even as im typing this out, there are still worries in my heart that are still clinging on to me. I try my best to forget them and leave them into God's hands, but a part of me just can't seem to let go. Really need to pray and ask God to remove those areas in my life that lack the faith and trust in God.
v34, do not worry about tomorrow, which is saying do not worry about the future, coz the future will worry about itself. How can we not worry about our future? It's such a hard thing to do, is worrying the same thing as planning? would planning for the future mean worrying for it? Because as we plan, things will certainly pop up and we will start worrying about it, and start making plans to avoid certain things, and as we make our own plan we start to neglect the plan that God has for us. But at the end of the day, the Bible says don't worry, so i will not worry. Partial obedience is disobedience. So we just need to have faith in whatever God does, but its easier said than done.

Hey Lol,
Remember, TRUE FAITH RESTS.
REST on the promise of His word.
RELEASE your cares at the cross
RELINQUISH your control over them.
God has a spiritual father ALREADY APPOINTED for you specifically.
He knows what you need and has them waiting. In the fullness of time and when your heart is completely yielded, you will walk into all that God has previously prepared and laid out for you.
FOCUS on bearing fruit. FOCUS on meeting needs. It is ONLY WHEN you are meeting OTHERS' needs - that you will have sown the right seed to get a harvest of YOUR needs met.
Gal.6:7. Bring others to Christ, share the Gospel, befriend newcomers, fire up existing believers - WORK OUT your salvation and the fruit and maturity will be a natural by-product.
Be busy about the Father's business & He'll be busy about yours.
