Nevertheless

Hello, just had our final fitting today. Catherine and I had our measurements taken and Cat confimed her photo shoot gowns while I confimed my jackets (done in 10 mins plus...). Cat also had her trial make up. Later let u see a glimpse..... Our photo shoot will be on the Oct 3rd. We are planning to take it at three locations, mother church(zion presbyterian), East Coast and the floating stadium which is still pending approval. Share with you some b4 and after photos...haha..dun laugh!!!
haha...transformed into......

I have also been reading the below book "Facing your Giants" by Max Lucado. Its really a good book and through the happenings of what David has gone through, help you face your own giants. Your giants might not only come in the form of a physical man, but it could come as your addiction to pornography, or if you are far away from God, if you can't stop gossiping, if you keep doubting yourself, and many more. Max uses the Word of God to help us overcome this. I have so far read half of the book and I seriously recommend to everyone. It will realli do gd. I particularly like this one,...

Its the story of how David conquered the city of Jerusalem. The jebusites who initially in Jerusalem mocked David that even the blind and the lame could keep him and his army out of the cities. And Jerusalem was indeed a stronghold, high walls, with favourable terrain...how could David win the city? We almost want to join the Jebusites in mocking David. But the bible used this amazing word to describe David's victory...

NEVERTHELESS!

Nevertheless, David took over Jerusalem. When people mocked him, saying that he can't do it, David did not give up in self doubt or despair. The just went ahead. He strengthened himself in the Lord, like what he did back at Brook Besor. Nevertheless, he conquered the city. Nevertheless, now let me remember this word always!

"Born to alcoholics, nevertheless she led a sober life.
Never went to college, nevertheless he mastered a trade.
Didn't read the bible until retirement age, nevertheless he came to a deep and abiding faith."

"Nevertheless, David took the stronghold..." 2 Sam 5:6-9
