read between the lines
the days so far i thank god it never rains whenever i'm taking a serious walk (i.e. to think, pray or both). it is blatantly evident during this rainy season that it is the hand of god who stops the rain, especially during the time when everywhere else was flooding up and people were getting evacuated.i also thank god for the weirdly wonderful past week he has given me, which all started with a little tug at god's sleeve two fridays ago. i was blogging about how i wished every day was like that friday in the sense that unplanned but welcome divine appointments just fell into place as the day played itself out. and since then until the end of last week, every day has been like that, for which i will be grateful for a long time. i thank god for the new (though not necessarily all newly-aquainted) set of friends that he brought into my life last week, and the christian functions that he drew me to. i think a breath of fresh air was good, not only for me but for the limited resource of people i usually exhaust. i thank god for reaffirming friends who unknowingly drove home the same message god wanted me to hear at this time. and also i thank god i was given the privilege to taste some of the fruits of my labour in prayer for some of my fellow brothers and sisters in christ (you know who you are), which indeed encouraged me and brought some rejoicing to my heart. it was strange to see in a weird way that what i partly sowed ended up getting reaped at a very timely moment, a moment when i needed encouragement the most. and so i give thanks for positively answered prayers upon these lives and more to come. this week seems to be moving in a parallel but slightly different direction...with that said, i thank god for both the times of refreshing and the times of wrestling. and for more of such times as i move into the second month of this new year. as always, i thank those of you who pray for praying. |
