We're in the queue!

Yes! Out of 1102 4-room apartments, we're in the 500+ queue to buy a flat at the super convenient, near to MRT, centrally-located Dawson estate.

When P said that God is merciful and has showered His blessings upon us, i quickly told her that even if we weren't in the queue, God is still merciful and we are still blessed whether or not we have a nice queue number.

After the online application in Dec, we decided to let God take over and do the job. Coz no matter what we do to worry/bother/check/scratch head, it doesn't alter the plans God has for us.

For those who are reading and got no. 5000 queue ticket, i'd just like to say continue trusting in Him, coz ultimately God has a plan in all of our lives. I'd like to remember this Bible verse from James 1:

2Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. 4Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. 5If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. 6But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. 7That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord; 8he is a double-minded man, unstable in all he does. - James 1:2-7

Looking back in Dec when we P was filling up that HDB application form for this BTO, we realised at the end of it that both of us were had no jobs and had not completed our studies. Why would HDB ever want to give us such an atas place to stay when they could easily reject us and hopefully we could apply for one of their cheaper suburb flats in Sembawang or CCK at probably half the price of those in Dawson. And now i remember this verse that came to me during that period of speculation:

Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. -Hebrews 11:1

Trust in the Lord!

License to drive

Priscilla's just gotten her driver's license! The nagging starts now. "Turn gracefully. No wait. Not this way", "There! The carpark lot is there. Yes, the car fits in there", "Are we there yet?".

Anyway, praise God abt it. It wasn't the prayers from papa, mama, KS and myself. It was just His timing.
