Everlasting

Thoughts while on the MRT yesterday (yes, I wrote it down on the back page of the booklet Chin gave me for CG):

God is so good. Everything really has a purpose. I'm glad I'm listening to that voice within me that says I don't have to worry, that everything is in control. God has already planned all my life's events even before I came to existence. I had been very anxious about tomorrow and days after that, such that I burden my present with worries that would soon prove themselves to be unfounded. God is so amazing, His timing is always perfect. I was in the Philippines at that time I was there because God knows that's what I needed, and even though I had been complaining about being in Singapore right now without nothing much to do and being lonely, I am here right now so I could attend dance practices for the Youth Day and give glory to Him on the actual day we will be performing.

Probably, my employment pass is taking so long to get approved so that I will decide to finally defer my work start date altogether to be with my family from July 10th-17th and have a fun-filled vacation with them.

Only God knows how much I am hurting these past few days, and I don't even know the reason why this is happening. Have I done something wrong? But if this hurt is what it takes to make me fully surrender myself to God, to finally make a decision to give Him my full trust and ignite the desire to serve Him, then I thank God for this pain. This too shall pass, and I know God will never leave me nor forsake me no matter what happens. And I mean, NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS.

In life, God had gven me victories over my struggles, and I had not been grateful enough to bring back the glory to Him. Now in times of great despair, let my lips praise you Lord, for it is during these times that I feel your presence the most. I love you Lord, and thank you for everything you've done in my life.

Though I may not undertsand all the plans you have for me
My life is in your hands
And through the eyes of faith I can clearly see
God is good all the time.
