~~So Grateful~~

nothing happens for no good reason... and i can feel that God is taking very good care of me... He has brought so many wonderful people into my life that are a blessing to me more than they even know it =P

Taken from Jewel's Hands:
If I could tell the world just one thing
It would be that we're all OK
And not to worry 'cause worry is wasteful
And useless in times like these

I won't be made useless
I won't be idle with despair
I will gather myself around my faith
For light does the darkness most fear

Just thinking about those lyrics reminds me of a prayer meeting i went to last term in loo...asking God for adversity... up until this point, i had completely forgotten about that prayer, but when i look back upon it now, i thank God for answering my prayer... He has given me trials to face...now how will i react? Praise Him for teaching me adveristy... the road is long and dark at times...but it's a growth journey... "no pain, no gain." I think God's teaching me to have joy in taking a part of His suffering... hehe...the best part is, that He doesn't leave me to do it all myself (cuz i would MAJORLY screw it all up)... He speaks to me in various ways..and most recently, in the voices of a couple frenz... He's there.... and that's comfort enough...

and in contrast to my last post.... maybe some of those relationships which i thought were dwindling aren't... special thanks to Ray, Jeff, and Grace... i dun think any of u guyz even read this... =P

Ray: yur awesome man!!!! seroiusly~~ you gave me a lot of good advice and was so patient with me when i was whining about my bad situation... and when i was thru, u gave it to me straight~~ thanks for reminding me that i gotta learn to view things from other people's point of view, keep my temper in check, and to always remain humble... hehe... u are such a wise one!! i'm really excited at the wonderful plans God has in store for u...i can see that He is already using you.. you've got a really big servant's heart! :D

Jeff: thanks for msging when u saw my msn name... even tho we haven't talked in a long time, especially about more personal stuff..it's always easy to talk to u... i know i can always count on you to listen to me... and thanks for praying for the situation, even beginning from the summer... it's very encouraging ^_^ u always give me an optimistic outlook on the sitation when i can only see the negative view... thanks for caring, yur a great friend :)

Grace: hehe..yur so understanding... when u msged me that nite and i told u that i kinda busy at the moment talking w/ some other frenz... and even tho i didn't explain in detail the situaion, i was really encouraged that nite.. =P and the next nite, u even called!!! ^_^ hehe..made my day~ we didn't even end up talkign about it even tho you called to check up on me and i'm so thankful...i miss talking with ya!! i know i can talk to u about anything~~ yur really a great big sis in Christ!

and i know there are many others that have been praying~~ thank you!!!!!!!!! i have great faith in prayer... it's like our one and only option that is foolproof~ =P it's not magic, b/c with magic we have a set result we aim for and nothing else... but with prayer, it's open-ended what God will do... that is the mystery of it all
