God - the One who was there, is there, and will always be there for me :D

As this new semester begins, I find myself getting hit by obstacles after obstacles. Despite the first few challenges faced, I find God’s comfort in these friendship challenges. But truly to God’s grace, because of these cold wars, my friend was able to see God’s love through me. I really feel that I’ve made a difference in someone’s life! At least I didn’t just go through my poly years without impacting anyone. (:

Everything that I’ve gotten for the past semesters should be the past… I have to look forward and trust God.

“But forget all that – it is nothing compared to what I am going to do. For I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun. Do you not see it?” Isaiah 43: 18 & 19

Plus, God’s promises are my armour and shield! (:

“When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulties, you will not drown…” Isaiah 43: 2

Every time when a new semester begins, I find myself picking up the pieces from the past semester. I begin to wonder what was it I did right for the previous semester to be able to get good grades. Somehow or another, the pieces of the puzzle start to form a picture and I am finally able to see that it’s God’s net that is the one who catches me whenever I fall and rebounds me back to the ground.

Who am I by Casting Crowns

Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth
Would care to know my name
Would care to feel my hurt
Who am I, that the Bright and Morning Star
Would choose to light the way
For my ever wandering heart

Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are

I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
Vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours, I am Yours

Who am I, that the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love and watch me rise again
Who am I, that the voice that calmed the sea
Would call out through the rain
And calm the storm in me

Woo~ I love this song a lot… It begins to remind me that I am nothing without God. Humans are forgetful people by nature… I need constant reminder to go back to God with gratitude for all the things that He has done for me.

“But I am like an olive tree, thriving in the house of God. I will always trust in God’s unfailing love. I will praise you forever, O God, for what You have done…” Psalm 52 : 8 & 9

(: Okay, moving on to another topic… Today was the first time I spoke to Sister Cassie! She’s down-to-earth and a really sweet person. I feel really glad that she’s getting engaged despite everything that the couple has gone through. What doesn’t kill you will only make you stronger. (:

Since I’m on the topic of love, I shall ponder upon what happened recently… (okay, I’m relieved and glad that no one reads my blog.) How does one feel when the person you have liked before has a partner? I mean… regardless of whether the feelings have faded or are still evidently there… there is a pinch, right? Suddenly, I feel horrible.

God!!! Please remind me that You are the only One that lasts forever. Love? No! Concentrate on God. I’ve managed to convince myself that it is not possible for anyone (or at least anyone I liked) to have interest in me.

As sad as it sounds, there are some perks to singlehood (:

God says in 1 Cor 7:34
“In the same way, a woman who is no longer married or has never been married can be devoted to the Lord and holy in body and in spirit.”

People say, God has planned someone for each and every one of His children. But… I guess, I am different. O.o

God bless you all people who are having partners! I believe love does exist, but apparently, it cannot be found in mine.

God bless people like me who are single! 1 Cor 7 : 35 “I am saying this for your benefit, not to place restrictions on you. I want you to do whatever will help you serve the Lord best, with as few distractions as possible.”
