You are the Potter, I am the clay

I went to the gynae yesterday. For the first time, I heard and saw the baby's heartbeat through the ultrasound scan. It's quite amazing at this point. The gynae told me that the baby is not feeding from me yet, it is attached to a yolk and the yolk is where it draws its nutrients from. It's just great to think that when God created the reproduction system, God saw to every detail. I wonder where did the yolk come from and how it is attached to the baby. It's a mystery to me but it causes me to sing yet again in praise to God. When people heard that I was pregnant, they would expressed their excitement in WOWS & YAYS. For myself, I didn't had such an expression. When I found out that I was pregnant via the test kit, I went "Oh, I am pregnant" - as a matter of factly. Similarly, when Adrian found out that I was pregnant, he had the same response as me. We weren't into screaming the whole house/neighbourhood down. For us, it was sober and thoughtful.

One of my bible school teacher, Mrs Angelina Eu, would always tell the class, the longest distance on earth is from the head to the heart. I agree fully. It's one thing to know and another to do. We don't need any more proofs to this truth because if we take a serious look into our own hearts, we know it has always been true. Why doesn't knowledge (biblical truths) make us better people? Because it doesn't until we have converted knowledge to be part of our lives so that they become principles that govern our decision making at any realm. I'm not a saint if you don't already know by now and I don't pretend to be one. I don't share my weaknesses in order to gain any sympathy or to gain any form of understanding or to get any form of support. I do so because it is who I really am inside. I don't try to impress or put up a show for people to think of me other than what I really am. Recently, I had two encounters with healing that exposed my lack of fai

2 Corinthians 12:7 - 9 "Because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations, for this reason, to keep me from exalting myself, there was given me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to torment me - to keep me from exalting myself! Concerning this I implored the Lord three times that it might leave me. And He has said to me 'My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.' Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me." The ambiguity lined up in this short passage is too much for my wanting mind to grasp. Was Paul's thorn a physical infirmity or was it a person who troubled him i.e. a Messenger of Satan. I was forced to look at the greek text of the passage but it didn't prove to be of much help. Instead more problematic. If the thorn was a person, why did bible translators, translated verse 7, Paul's prayer to God to remove "IT". But if the thorn was a
