Phew. Weekend's almost over. And I survived!

This week has been a roller coaster ride, lots of ups and downs! And I really mean, lots! But the Lord's grace is sufficient for me, always. :)

On thursday, as I anticipate a really busy and tired weekend, I prayed and submitted everything to the Lord and asked for lots of strength, both spiritually and physically! And after I prayed this prayer, I embarked on a really exciting 4 day journey with the Lord!

Everything started going wrong. The Macds that we wanted to meet at was closed down! I had to wait for Jacq as her class ended late. When Jacq reaches, we took a bus to my church area and settled down at KFC. The moment I reached KFC, I started to look for my phone and yes, it was missing. It slipped out of my pocket during the bus ride. :'( The lucky fellow who got it off the phone almost immediately.

It kind of dampen my mood and asked the Lord, "Why?" *Sigh
But I decided, I shall not allow anything to disrupt me from spending time with God to do my Quiet Time. So the both of us did our QT as planned.

Drop what weighs you down by giving it to God.
Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.
1Peter 5:7

I read the passage Mark 4:35-41 (Jesus calms the storm) and was deeply encouraged by it! I learnt that Jesus was in the habit of entrsusting Himself to the heavenly Father. Having made that commitment, He could sleep through the turbulent squall. When worries begin to gnaw at our mind, let's surrender them to the Lord and not let them back again! (taken from Daily Bread)

Wow spot on! :D Thank You Lord! You made me realise. I thank you for all you've placed in my life. If not for all those, I wouldn't have learned such a valuable lesson. I also realised this: Everything happens for a good reason!

You know, on the brighter note, I can get a new mobile! Hehehe.
I'm glad that I chose to come back to the Lord despite of all that happened. PTL!

On friday, I was a sick girl with empty stomach during worship practice. So i made a simple prayer that the Lord will give me bus 23 the moment I reach the bus stop after practice. But! He sent Moses to send Eeting and I home. God knows my need. :)

I broke down on Saturday morning because I couldn't find my wallet! 2 possibilities: Dropped it at Moses' car or dropped it on the street when I got down from his car. Well, at that point of time I remembered my QT lesson. Why didn't I trust in the Lord? I couldn't relate at that very point of time when I think of my I/C, EZlink card, money, etc. On my way to meet Angie and Sarah, this thought just came to my mind, that why am I so terrified? Just like the disciples. I should be like Jesus, to have complete trust in the Lord. And! Rmb.. everything happens for a goos reason. I cheered myself up! :)

And I had a great time having breakfast with Angie and Sarah, QT time with Angie and planning for our cell group teaching after we spent time with the Lord. It was a fruitful morning. And I'm very glad that worship during youth service went well and cell group teaching went well too! Praise God for that. Learnt much during cell group, from angie and from my cell members.

And yay! Good news for me when I reached home! My wallet is found in Moses' car! Hehehe. I'm glad that even though bad thoughts came to my mind first, but the Lord reminded me of His goodness. Yay! :)

Sunday worship was great too! Changes here and there but enjoyed it totally. Great time spent on prayer and worshipping the Lord. Had Senggarang meeting in the afternoon as well. Had an hour of prayer and discussed about Alpha course. Encouraged by all the testimonies. Jiayou Nov Seng trippers! Victory belongs to the Lord!

Visited yeye after that and He's looking good. He opened his eyes! :D

4 days of experiencing His faithfulness and goodness. More to come!
