Rhythm of Change ?

In the past few days, the weather has been getting colder. Its no surprise since we are entering into the winter season. Nature has a cycle of change or I would say it as the rhythm that God placed when He created the earth.

Just as nature having its own rhythm, we too have this rhythm in our life. The rhythm of change. When I say change it gives you a sense of joy at the same time a sense of uncertainty.

probably for you it could not be the case, but for me it is. For no one can be certain about the uncertainty unless they themselves travel along the same path that you are travelling.

The good thing about change is that it helps you to grow and to learn new things while on the other it places you in situations that you are not in control of. When we get use to our routine life we feel that we are so much in control of our own life.

The truth is we just got use to it so much so that we feel that we are in control. From the work that we do to the relationships that we have. Think about this, if you wake up tomorrow totally in a different place seeing different people, how would you feel?

But I believe that God places us in those situations, when we feel helpless, and it does not necessarily mean that you would be waking up in a different place but rather you will be placed in different situations where you are strecthed from your limits

Why ? because that's the place that we get to know God in a more meaningful way. Because when I am helpless and I have done all that I can to change my circumstance and nothing happens that's when I know that I am not in control but
God is and He is able to make all things work for good.


Maybe at the present time I am not sure how things would work out.
And sometimes fear and anxiety can infect a peaceful mind with lies and confusion. But every time I look to God, He fills me with the peace that surpasses all understanding.


I pray and believe that God will open up the right doors of opportunity for me. Do support me in your prayers.

Little Jordan

Today I had an experience that I could never forget in my life. Part of me still struggles to understand of why God had to allow this to happen . I went to the hospital to visit my friend. They are more like a family to me, they just recently welcomed a baby girl in their life.

The baby was named as Jordan and I had the privilege of holding the precious child in my arms. The baby went to be with the Lord before I even entered the ward to see the child. Her tiny eyes were closed, she was dressed with a white dress and was wrapped in a warm cloth. The pastor at that time took pictures of the baby for the family.

I also had the privilege to pray for the baby and I just asked God to bless her soul and that I thanked God for giving the family Jordan and that He was still with them in this difficult time.


As I was praying, deep inside my heart I could not understand where God was in this picture. A day before yesterday I was so confident that God was going to heal the child. But some times God chooses to work in different ways rather to what we expect Him to do for us. I know today that Jordan is in a better place because of the blood of Jesus Christ.


Death is a part of humanity, but really because Of Jesus Christ we continue to live on even though our earth suit gives up . This is faith and this is what keeps me going. It becomes a big shock to us when we walk these sort of path in life and it has certainly been for me. I will always remember Jordan who has inspired me to see how precious life is and that the very breath that we take in is from God.


I don't have the answers of why God took Jordan home early but I know that He is a faithful God and that everything that He does has a purpose. I know that one day God will reveal to us why this had to take place. Even as I write this, I wondered what could have happened if Jesus was there in that ward? The truth is, the Holy Spirit was there comforting each one of us, while Christ was binding the broken heart of the parent, and the Father shedding His tears for them.


The reason why I am writing this in my blog is that, its an alternative for me to share how I feel on the inside and that when I do that I feel lighter on the inside. I pray that God will comfort the family and help them to come through this grief process.

Amazed

Thank you Lord that you are continuously guiding me through to the place that you want me to be. I pray that you will be my strong anchor so that the wind and the storm do not misplace me from your plan.

My struggles and frustration, you alone know. My deep thoughts and my deepest fears you alone are aware of it. Every night when I look up to the sky, I stand amazed that you know every star by name.


I know that you care for me so much that I am not able to comprehend it fully sometimes but I pray that you give me the patience that I need.

Psalms 73:26 : My flesh and my heart my fail, but God is the Rock and firm Strength of my heart and my Portion forever.

Holding On

Been very confused lately. Hopefully things will get better.

Psalms 43:3 3 Send forth your light and your truth,
let them guide me;
let them bring me to your holy mountain,
to the place where you dwell.

His ways

Well just yesterday evening itself, I received a call from the place that I went for the interview in the morning. Not to my surprise, my application was not successful.

But before I got that call from the person who was dealing with my application. Got reminded me a verse from the bible from Isaiah 55:8-9. This was a new experience of God speaking to me like this.


"For my thoughts are not your thoughts
neither are your ways my ways,"
declares the LORD.

"As the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts.

(New International Version)

As I was thinking about this verse, the call came. Although at first I was discouraged when I heard that my application was not successful, but God somehow encouraged me to not to give up.

Later on the above verse comforted me in helping me to understand that it was not God's will for me to get that job.

Thank you Lord that you are always with me all the time and that you are working things for good even though I may not understand them.

But help me to understand Lord.

Getting Better

Went for the interview today, don't know how it is going to turn out. Perhaps didn't answer the questions well enough. Only God knows.

Just as I thought that things could not get any better, my car started to play up in the motor way, with the carburetor being blocked. Cant afford to spend money on my car as my resources is very limited at the moment.

Been trying for work for couple of weeks now, not much result. I really don't know what to do. God help me please !! guide me!

Rescued

Well just today as I was meditating on the word of God, I came across this verse :

Isaiah 51 :5 "The time for me to set you free is near.
I will soon save you "


This verse reminded me that God is always on time to answers our prayers. For the past few weeks, I have been spending much time in prayer. Each time He is reminding me that He is never too late in answering my prayers.

Although for us the answer seemingly takes time since we all want things to be done instantly and fast. But God knows what is best and when it is best to answer our prayers.

For us to see the answer, we need to hang in there and not give up. To often, I myself am tempted to give up on certain prayer requests but if I give up, I will definitely not see them answered.


We just have to keep walking through those valleys until we see God's salvation. But one thing is for sure that is God's salvation for us when we come through the valley.


I want to encourage you today, keep praying, don't give up! you will see God's salvation in time!
