Week 12: Falalalala lalalala

Helooooo Claytonites (unite)!

'Tis the season to be jolly, falalalala lalalala!

Okay maybe not, it being a season of mugging as the exams are drawing near. But you know what?

Matthew 6:33 says, Take care of God's things, and He'll take care of your things (Okay that's an interpretation. In the NIV it says, "Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well") which I thought was –

Wow. How true. When we are intent on seeking God first, we are entrusting the other areas of our life to Him; He takes care of it all. That is not to say that we irresponsibly not study, but it does mean that God takes first place, above our studies.

So remember; if you're feeling a little stressed or upset or things are going not-as-well-as-you-hoped, Matthew 6:33. Sing a song. Talk to Him about your day. Read a chapter of the Bible. Be still before Him. Anything! Find time to be renewed in His presence, because in His presence there is fullness of joy (Psalm 16:11) (:

This week in a snapshot:

Wed prayer, 12-1pm, Campus center basement piano rooms
Change in time slot to an hour earlier than the norm so more people can make it! Prayer is a way of telling God that we are dependent on Him and not ourselves; God's abundance matches our dependence!

Friday OCF, 7pm, R3
Wow what a great testimony last week from Tim and Glenda about the Belyuen mission trip huh? The trip, for the whole team, is only the beginning of God opening our eyes and moulding us for His plans and purposes. It'll be YOUR TURN to go next time okay! (: Anyways. Friday. Last Bible Study – we're wrapping up Ephesians, studying the very essential Armour of God which we need to put on in constant spiritual battle! See you at 6.20pm before for prayer if you can make it alright!


See you sooooon!
In His all-encompassing love (a love which holds, surrounds, encloses you; you're safe and snug in His love. Nothing can separate you from it!),
Faith! (: <3
