I wouldn't say that this week had been an easy week, what with new units in my new trimester, questions and dilemmas, uncertainties and errand after errand. Time had come and gone, and before you know it you get an email from Huifu about cell, and you realise it's almost the end of the week. Wonder how I made it through.
As some of you may have noticed about me this week, i've been a little withdrawn, just hiding in my room. It's just a phase i'm going through. I also believe that this is a trial I have to get through before God brings me to other places, higher places. I know there are things yet to be resolved, struggles yet to be faced, and I know He's got a plan for me. I just need to stay focused. I AM A CONQUERER, BORN TO OVERCOME!
Thank God for those of you who'd been there for me this week, especially Thad and Adrian. Thanks heaps.
But you know, our God has this uncanny way of doing things, I mean yeah this is the same God that used a big fish to teach Jonah a lesson. But
Thank God (excuse the pun) that He spoke to me in the most timely fashion it almost seems like a coincedence, but I know it's not.
Yesterday night while I was doing my QT, I don't know and I can't explain what led me to dig out from my drawer, a copy of
The Purpose Driven Life, by Rick Warren, which I haven't touched in ages. And as I flipped it open to the page where the bookmark marked the chapter I last read, the theme of that new chapter just seemed so apt. The chapter mainly used Job as an example, and a line in that chapter read...
"The deepest level of worship is praising God in spite of pain, thanking God during a trial, trusting him when tempted, surrendering while suffering, and loving him when he seems distant."I love my LORD, and I love Jesus, and I really just want to worship him with all of my life, imperfect yet complete. I'm working towards that.
Today amidst the struggle, as I sat down to eat my bowl of instant kimchi ramen, I just praised God, I thanked God for his blessing, for this ramen, and for what he's done, doing and going to do in my life. I can't wait to get through this, LORD please don't turn away from me. I want to be who You want me to be...
Your Unfailing Love - Hillsongs
When the darkness fills my senses
When my blindness keeps me from Your touch
Jesus come
When my burdens keep me doubting
When my memories take the place of You
Jesus come
And i'll follow You there
To the place where we meet
And i'll lay down my pride
As You search me again
Your unfailing love
Your unfailing love
Your unfailing love, over me again
