True and Lasting Meaning in God Alone
Are you a warrior or worrior?
Are your days filled with purpose or drudgery?

Matt 6:34 So don't worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today's troubles is enough for today.

IKg 3:12 To Soloman God gave 'a wise and understanding heart such as no one else has had or ever will have'. Soloman had spent his whole life experiencing and analysing all the world had to offer. At the 'autumn' of his life, his conclusion? Life is short, boring, meaningless even futile, yadda yadda. So enjoy pleasure while you can.

Ecc 3:1 'For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven'.
Ecc3:9 'What do people really get for all their hard work? I have seen the burden God has placed on us all. Yet God has made everything beautiful for its own time. He has planted eternity in the human heart, but even so, people cannot see the whole scope of God's work from beginning to end. So I concluded there is nothing better than to be happy and enjoy ourselves as long as we can. And people should eat and drink and enjoy the fruits of their labour, for these are gifts from God'.

Follow God's guidelines for living
Take pleasure in what we are doing now and enjoy life because it comes from God's hand.
True enjoyment comes to those who consider each day to be a gift from God, thanking Him for it and serving Him in it.
Without God, people merely exist, moving from the excitment of youth to the bitterness of old age.

YOU~TH
This is the season of your life God intended for you to be a student/single/employee
Do you see yourself as privileged and protected like Chien Chong said today?
You are God's chosen like the tribe of Benjamin
He cautions us not to take security from God for granted.
Know where we direct our zeal and potentials?
Use it to serve God in our passion for God's work
Do not use it to sin.
He departed with this warning.
Don't take sin lightly.

Uni~Sparker Sharing left me these impressions.
Introducing.......
Miss Thong and Miss Yue, artistically inclined genus (or should it spell genius)
Their similarities end there.
They are poles apart in temperament.

Debbie
Victoria shared with us a rare glimpse of Debbie when final artproject was due in JC2
Debbie pressed by deadline was reduced to speechless rhythmic shaking of her head
A once a century outward exhibition of superlative stress.
Debbie's fireworks are only confined to the canvas, unlike normal mortals like us
Last 6 months, together with Jun, they attended Japanese lessons
Both did well in their language tests.
Debbie took care of planning and executing craftwork in the June children's camp
Did you get to know Linda Teoh and Serene Ang better?
Linda Teoh with her curly hair never fail to look more ruffled than you!

Irony or Not. You decide.
We might as well make a final attempt to pry into Debbie's life before the door is shut.
Name 1 Characteristic of yourself we commanded.
After much hem and haw, she finally picked .....'indecisive"
Kel asked her whether she will put up her hand up during tutorial to score 'participation points'
Without hesitation she shot back with an emphatic "NO! Noooo!"
Decidedly indecisive this girl.

Back to FASS Faculty of Arts and Social Science
Assignments are piling up for Deb and threatening to bury her.
Do we overhear a rare gurling of exasperation?
Do keep Debbie in your prayers.

Now to unearth the truth about Miss Victoria.
First option was to be a cute curator at the NUS Museum
What was supposed to be a temp-job before she commits to a degree in art history overseas.
Turned out quite mind boggling and boring.
Seriously not funny. Forecast gloomy to be chained to an admin chair for a career
Her penchant for all things art and history became virtual memory

To Archi Faculty.
Now how blessed is it to be granted one's heart desire? The Archi door is infamously competitive and small.
Vic's entrance test was a walk in the park, some art interpretation and abstract challenge that won her a direct entry. Heh, I think you got to be quite outstanding to jump the interview.
Its a great advantage to be able to draw to survive this mighty demanding life sapping course.

I had opportunity to get to know Vic during extended Sparker bash.
She kindof turned my previous misconceptions topsy-turvy.
She can be exuberant, whacky and warm hearted.( rmb her when she played Scattergories? eating her stringy cuttlefish?)
But be warned she is a steely tough cookie too. She works hard when she puts her mind to it.

Heart to Heart w Uni~ Sparks
Pray that you all will guard your 'Sabbath rest' zealously
Take time to smell the roses, to daydream or you will cease to be human
Be sweet, be humble, be game like you always will
Have a life different from the world of your faculty
Praying that a good life full of thanksgiving befall you
Giving praise and glory to God Almighty.

Jun Jeanette Debbie and Victoria
Thank you again for sharing 'times of your lives' with us
May the glory of the Lord go before you in life's journey into your 20's
And His hand of protection behind.
Amen.
Much love from fellow Sparkers
