pattern

today’s sermon was really really good. and although i was a bit sad a first that i was sitting alone in the row in front of my cell, i was quickly immersed into God’s presence. and then, as if God was just looking our for me, pat came down to sit with me. ((:

and then, it was a helluva sermon from Dr. A.R Bernard. my goodness is he smart. i’m at my seat struggling to keep us with the sermon and i eventually gave up take notes but instead drew a mindmap…easier to understand. and pat was really fascinated by my mindmap, which was quite detailed.

Dr. A.R Bernard preached on God how God works. He always does things according to a pattern and based on a principle. my notes will be up on the next post. and throughout the message, i was busy perfecting my mindmap which wasn’t really that great in the end. and so as to understand the sermon better, i decided to form my own definitions pertaining to my own desired “patterns”.

a pattern is a a discernible coherent system based on the intended interrelationship of component parts. similarly to the 2 patterns i learnt today, the pattern of relationship and the pattern of knowledge, i decided to combine both. and that with each stage, the interrelationship of the component parts must not only coincide, but there must an understanding of intimacy of what sort as in the pattern of relationship. for example, for your mind to process information, you must first know and acquaint yourself with um yourself first. after evaluatingand understanding yourself, through a larger paradox of information, you can then choose how u want to process the information and sift it to see whether it is credible or not. for those who don’t get it…nevermind.

anyway, i decided to pay tithe this week. i have always been a regular tither. but then, due to a tight financial situation and the cell fund being very broke, i decided to hold my tithe for a while, of course with every intention of giving it in the end, but just delaying it. i just wanted to see the money in my wallet to lull myself into a false sense of security. well, today, i emptied my wallet and quite comfortable depostied a whopping $100 into the offering envelope. and i could tell pat was watching. and true enough, Gods word always prevails, and that very afternoon, my parents decided to give me money for no apparent reason. the amount will not be disclosed for safety precautions. i do not wish to have people coming to me asking for treats…freeloaders. or of course to stir up jelously or covetous of any sort. muhaha. but of course, i give it back to God, because i can never out give God.

and then, after a fulfilled and wallet empowering day, my long list of chores begin…
