TESTIMONY TIME. (:

We should be able to say every year of our Christian life, "I have
grown in my faith, and now I love God and others more this year than I did last
year."
-Neil T. Anderson, The Bondage Breaker-

for anyone going through a tough patch, i'd recommend that you pick up this book, the bondage breaker. i've not been an avid reader in the past few months, and few books have caught my eye. but this book managed to keep me engrossed after 2 chapters. anyhows, there are many quotables in the book, and this is just one of the many worth remembering.

yesterday was the epitome of 'a horrible day'. nothing went right, even my computer didn't function properly. so it came to a point when i quit trying cos there was really no point. it felt like everytime i tried to make things right, i was flinging myself into yet another concrete wall. so when my comp hanged, i totally shut off everything and decided, God, You take over. so i just stood there in the dark looking out of my window, and it felt as if God was there, and everything seemed to resonate with His goodness. then this song came to my mind..

Trust His Heart
All things work for our good
Though sometimes we can't see how it could
Troubles that break our hearts in two
Sometimes bind us to the Truth

Our Father knows what's best for us
His ways are not our own
So when your pathway grows dim
And you just can't see Him
Remember you're never alone

God is too wise to be mistaken
God is too good to be unkind
So when you don't understand
When you don't see His plan
When you can't trace His hand
Trust His heart.

there couldn't be any song more apt than that, cos it spelt out exactly what i was feeling and what i could not put into words. God brought me to my tears yet again, and as i'm continually humbled by His love, care and concern for us, i pray that all of you would too.

and for those that have given up on the power of prayer, let me share this with you..
yest i went for AA with a really bad flu. i left my house sneezing every 5 seconds and when i found out that i had to be on duty, i really wondered how i was ever going to do that without letting parents worry about me passing the flu bug on to their kids. but anyhows when auntie jennifer and the children prayed for me, i could really feel the flu lifting off. somehow i made it through, and that was not without the faith of the kids at AA and auntie jennifer's firm belief in the power of prayer. (:

moral of the story? KEEP THE FAITH. (:

KEEP THE FIRE BURNING.. peace out.
