It's time to move
Hi all, I've decided to "glycerol stock" this blog and move to a new home. Here is my new home: www.upwardsandoutwards.blogspot.com HoneyintheRock has been web home to me for almost 4 years now and has chronicled some major important parts of my uni life. I'm thankful to God for seeing me through these 4 years. It's funny because this blog started out with the intention of wanting to reach out to some friends who visited youth fellowship and weren't regular anymore. I remember distinctly one Sat night when i came back from Youth fellowship very burdened that they've missed out a lot of what God wants to speak to them. In my flurry to want to communicate to them in their absence, this blog was born. Sadly, these friends are still not having a personal relationship with God and having little contact with this blog owner. But i must say that the blog has morphed and moved on to many other purposes - keeping in contact with friends, keeping a worthy piece of memory, be it song, photo etc. It has served the blog owner well to store certain nonsensical ramblings that if readers had found offensive and totally don't make sense , a million apologies for bad english and messy thoughts. Now the blog owmer is moving on to another stage in life, which calls for reason to end this blog here intact with experiences precious and much treasured and to start a new chapter elsewhere. Farewell HoneyintheRock, it has been honey to me in bouts of dryness. Hope it has been for u too. Disclaimer: Though nothing beats the Word of God as tasting like honey in the rock.

mystery of the invisible smoker
I'm fully convinced in my mind that there is a incorrigible smoker staying either one level above or below my room. I'm so choked every few hours it's puffing my lungs out. And when i go down everytime i smell the smoke to find out who this smoker is, i can't seem to find anyone smoking at the window! The smoker is invisible. I think i need to find other means to track this invisible smoker.
And i was just about to curse this smoker again with eternal lung cancer when my bible study homework was almost completed - here's what i wrote:
New testament parallel matthew 5:44 Love your enemies.
uh oh... maybe i should be praying for this invisible smoker rather than curse him. For the first time since this incorrigible smoker huffed and puffed, i closed the window praying for him rather than raining cancers of all sorts on him. (somehow i have the impression it's a male). When i finally do find out who he is, i'm MUST speak to him kindly.

Self esteem or Christ esteem
I just keep on thinking why God allow me to go through such a horrible year of ups and downs? From having my energy zapped away by that centrifuge, to the rantings and complaints, to the discouragements of having screwed up results, right down to being defeated by a supposed grade one question of " who discovered penicillin?"
How bad can this get? When one whole year of work is ready to face the scrutiny of the examiners only to be shoved aside by comments that take probably more than a lifetime to validate and when you have no more self worth because your examiner tells u not knowing who discovered penicillin is like an expert on differential equations not knowing 1+1=2.
What would i do if my worth has been derived only from what i do as a student? Probably totally bombed owing to my low self-esteem Thank God for this reminder, and from a non-christian friend whom i showed a poem to: God looks not at your grades.
Why does he allow me to go through these times? To be sanctified and to be a light. Maybe this way i woudl be better sanctified and can shine more brightly for Him.
"give thanks in all cirumstances"
