Yesterday, I have asked that you must pray for my daughter - to be the chosen one for the apprenticeship. Well, we've got good and bad news. The good news is that she got it, but the bad news is that they did not get the grant for the apprenticeship. If she is willing to work for six months without being paid, she can have it.
I said to her that she must take it and work as if she is getting paid. If they do get a grant, they will definitely take that into consideration. The other big factor - instead of just a certificate in Arts and Graphics, she will obtain a National Diploma in Arts and Graphics. I think it is worth it to try.
Now I am going to ask you all, please pray that if it is God's will, the college will get the grant. As a single mom (she is divorced), that little bit of money will help a lot. She do get a lot of support from her ex, but I think she just want to feel that she can provide for herself. Especially because my husband said that she will never earn or make money with this course.
After last night's service, I am just wondering how many of us are fake? How many have got a plastic image? It is one thing to be a Christian and another to say you are one. If you are a Christian, people must be able to see it in your life. The way you behave and speak will definitely a testimonial. If your actions tells a different story, boy, then you have problems.
Another thing that Wian mentioned was our stereotype saying "I will pray for you". You know what, the moment we say something like that, we must mean it. We must pray for ourselves and others'. This is not a selfish action. If we pray, we must be honest with God and with ourselves, otherwise our action and word would be as if we did not say anything at all.
Another important thing, do we reach out to other people? Do we tell them about God and what God have done for us - I do not think we do that as often as we are supposed too.
I think that I mentioned that both my eldest and youngest are Art and Graphic students. One thing I do battle with - all the paintings that must be NUDE. My eldest must do a painting with 24 breasts on. She asks us on a regular basis to pose for a photo, but my two daughters and I are running like mad. Even though nobody will know who's is who's, it still doesn't feel right.
My husband and I are still from the old school. Nude pictures or paintings is a big no, no. We feel we cannot even look at it (I must usually crit them), and they cannot understand it, because for them, it is just an assignment.
