The year so far..
..has been a little rough. Going through a number of challenges in various fronts but I think the common theme through it all, in the 27 days of 2007 that have past, is learning how to trust God. I talk about my security and significance coming only from God, and now is the time to demonstrate that that truly is the case.
I’m thankful for family and friends who’ve been supportive and have met up with me in the past week; meeting all of you has been really really nice… to finally have the time to sit down and talk to people since I’ve returned from China. I thank God for His love, His presence and His reassurance through this time; I’ve heard Him more clearly than I’ve ever heard Him before and I’m drawing strength from Him now, and surely will continue to do so in the days ahead. If going through these experiences makes me closer to God, I’m thankful for these experiences as well.
Trusting in God isn’t about praying that He will answer all my prayers with whatever I want, but handing Him all my hopes, desires and emotions and believing with faith that everything will be for my good - not necessarily that everything will turn out good. It’s a lesson I’ve known with my head, now I’m trying to live it with my heart.
