Random thoughts..:)

Thank God i am feeling so much better...really. For a while, I was quite down because of some stuff that happened... during that time, I thought I would not be able to pick up...but well.. time really did the trick. Gave myself a few days to feel sad.. and once I started feeling better.. things started to run again! God is faithful and He never forsakes me. Sometimes, He knows we just need the time to grieve over the pain... He is not in a rush for us to feel "ok" and He is always patient with us. I experienced that.. and I know that all the time, He was just waiting for me to start praying again.. and communicating. Yup, so He knew when I would be more ready to listen to what is true about all that has been going on.

Had a good time with WG on saturday morning.. it made up for our M-time this week. We took a bus to Serene Macdonalds, had breakfast, talked.. and walked to Botanic Gardens.. then ended up at Law School because I needed to get some stuff from the library. The time was good because he prompted me to just share what's been going on and he gave me guidance and advice (as usual)..which was what I needed :)

Cat and Dog Theology seminar in the afternoon was good.. cos it put my current circumstances into the right perspective. Sometimes I am such a cat.. but I do not realise it. The seminar reminded me of a song that I really love, by Steven Curtis Chapman.. "God is God".

Sunday service was good.. I learnt quite a bit from Moses' story in Exodus 2. What amazes me is how God orchestrates everything in our lives.. good and bad..for His purposes. And the next thing that I learnt is that, God preserves our heart for Him. :) I was encouraged.. for I knew deep down that my life is in God's hands.. and I need not worry what lies ahead.

The YF gathering on sunday afternoon was fantastic! I was so encouraged by what i saw.. it's hard to describe everything.. but the sharing by each person was so so so authentic. A time when everyone stopped wearing their masks. Beautiful.. although there was lots of tears..it was tears of healing. I was very much healed too:)

All in all, I am grateful to God for delivering me once again and giving me hope and strength for tomorrow :)
