Encouraged

"The LORD reigns forever;

he has established his throne for judgement.

He will judge the world in righteousness;

he will govern the people with justice.

The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed,

a stronghold in times of of trouble.

Those who know your name will trust in you,

for you, LORD, have never forsaken those who seek you. "

- Psalm 9: 7-10

Praise Jesus!

God has not forsaken me nor you indeed. never will He do that.

This past few weeks has been testing for me, both work and bb's work load has been piling, and I have not been organised, efficient and productive. a lot of new things for me to take hold of, they are not like very tough task individually, but put them together, they had kinda blown me off course quite a bit.

having to face expressed disappointments directed at me from different arenas has discouraged me, dis-spirited me and dis-energised me. On my mind, i have tried my best to 'help and serve', so i find it a big struggle trying to juggle all this. i find myself bursting from within.

i acknowledge that its a truth that i could learn to be more organised and efficient and such in my work in different areas. and i am definitely learning and still learning. but, it's just not as easy at times.

It's difficult

It's difficult to talk to God at stretch of time recently, i find myself shutting my mouth and not knowing what to say, and what to express, my feelings and such. i find myself losing heart, turning cold...i don't like to be feeling that way, complaining in my spirit, or feeling frustrated at the things around. but that's how i felt, and i have to face it, and it took me a while, but God has to bring me to a level ground, so that i may find my feet again.

God's there to encourage
Thru it all, I am just so thankful to God, the potter, whom i guess knows how difficult its for me, and at the right time, turn off the the knob of heating and released me before i burst.

God encouraged me in many ways this few days, as i reflect..

• He make Bro Andrew called me and talked to, just when i guess, i do need someone to talk to.
• He make a brother that i respect to sms me to check how i am n whether i have any prayer requests. there are many ppl who cares for me, and i am thankful to God for them.
• He used my girlfren to bear with me with exceedingly great patience and encouragment during this time. To my love, i thank God truly for u : )
• He led me to this book in Harris bookstore yesterday, and installed a enouragement word in it. i teared when i read it. God was there to help me find back my self-worth.
• He organised a G-kidz farewell party today for me, lots of my good fren and pastors came. and each of them shared a affirmative word of testimony on how i have grown and being a blessing to them over the past few years in G-kidz. God has grown me and He won't forsake me, surely not after He has grown me.. o yes, i am still growing.
• He led me to this song on my mp3. and for once a song lyrics make sense to me deep inside..:

The song title is Get up and live by Marc Byrd, could not seems to find the lyrics online. but anyway it basically sings of :

taking one day at time, that when we have failures, disappointment, the could-have-been .... well takes what's left, take hold of what i have... and get up and live .. one day at a time

i guess that's the word in season, word of encouragement for me that though i have many things to juggle with, i just have to take it one task at a time, pick myself up from the disappointments in life, and get up and live.

I am just thankful to God for encouragin me and definitely assuring me of my worth in Him and my position in Him.. to keep going .. to keep pressing on .. and to learn and to grow... and to love... its never about the things that we do, its more of the lives that we are to bless and love...

Get up and live.

One day, at a time . .

O Lord, how amazing your love is.

Encouraged.

i am.

Praise Jesus.
