Battling Challenges

Life is full of challenges. Everyday is a new day filled with unknowns. Thanks be to GOD that in Him I can trust and rely on all the days of my life. Though I may not know my tomorrow or even the next moment in life, I am assured that Jesus Christ leads me through the way. Good times or bad times, I have learnt to be always ready with the armour of God to battle and give thanks, rejoicing even in trials.

Well, it definitely is not easy to rejoice in times of pain, fear, sadness, illness and all the negative stuff. Nontheless, hope and strength in the LORD carries me through and gives me the joy from within to be able to sing unto the LORD each day and give thanks.

In the past 2 weeks, uncertainties and illness are battles that I have fought. First, it was being sick with flu for over a week myself. Now that I have recovered from my bout of flu, it's my Dad who is down with some weird inner ear imbalance that causes vomitting and dizziness symptoms that happen at random times since Saturday. First thing that came to mind was to PRAY. Praying for my Dad's health... praying for my parents' health since they are getting on in age and start have health problems like heart palpitations for my Mum.

In everything, I commit it to prayer. Prayer is like talking to someone. On the receiving end is GOD=Jesus Christ =Holy Spirit. Since young, praying to God is like talking to my best friend. God is a FRIEND who is always there, ever ready to listen to me. It was always a matter of whether I wanted to talk to Him frequently or not.

For everything that happens in my life, God has His purpose. I love Ecclesiastes 3 in the BIBLE. That particular book and chapter always reminds me that God has made everything beautiful in His time. Ecclesiastes 3:1 "To everything there is a season. A time for every purpose under heaven."
Ecclesiastes 3:11- 13 "He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end.
I know that there is nothing better for them than to rejoice, and to do good in their lives, and also that every man should eat and drink and enjoy the good of all his labour - it is the gift of God."

In everything, give thanks, pray and be contented. God has blessed me in many other ways. It's always important to remember to count my blessings. One of the blessings is in the form of the lovely friends I have around me. Always praying for my friends that God keep them safe, healthy and happy. Of course, praying for their salvation (know GOD as their personal Saviour) too! That's always my hope for all the people around me whom I love... friends, family, relatives and others. GOD loves me, so I love the people around me. (^_^)

Life is a mystery, full of challenges but I know whom I can trust and walk my life in confidence of discovering His Will... the master plan for me. Though I may fall along the way, but God will pick me up to journey the way once again as a stronger person if I rely on Him. Yeah!

Be foolish enough to

BELIEVE in MIRACLES
