Bigger Plan...
I felt reassured by the Lord today. To be really honest, I was a little disappointed with the Lord recently for some turn of events in my life and uncertainty of my future. Of late I have been praying for him for some prayer requests in my life one of which to grant me a place in NUS to do law. Even though I kept reminding myself to have faith and patiently wait for him to answer my prayers, it was extremely disheartening to receive the rejection letter last Friday informing me that my application was unsuccessful.
I know the Lord may have a bigger plan for me to excel elsewhere but I am starting to doubt whether I should be doing law in the first place and whether should I proceed to pursue my studies overseas? It also doesn’t help to have my parents nagging at me to make up mind and decide quickly.
The pastor released a word today before Holy Communion that really touched my heart. He mentioned to the congregation to be still and know that he is Lord. The Lord’s greatest gift for us is dying on the cross for our sins and we should know that he has already given the most important gift to us already, what else he will not give to us. He WILL never withhold his blessings from us
For no apparent reason, my tears started flowing, it never stopped. (*ok guys make fun of me all you want, I am only human and I have feelings*) I tried not to make a scene and was trying very hard to control the tears, but it just came pouring out. (PS: The real reason is because there was quite a hot girl sitting a couple of seats away from me and I was trying very hard to keep it all in.. but the holy spirit was at work so no choice ) I felt like as if the Lord was speaking to me and I was just meditating in his presence. I was so caught up in the Lord’s presence; I forgot the title of the songs we sang thereafter.
One of my goals for the year 2005 is to do a mission trip. I am still praying that the Lord would open opportunities for me to take leave from National Service to complete my mission trip but more importanly give me a passion for a certain country for me to go and minister to its people. I am also praying that the Lord would instil in me the right attitudues of service and to take away the spirit of reluctance to go serve him in this area. As the Bible says, we should love our neighbours as ourselves.How can we claim to love God when we don't love our neighbours? Think about it...
I am optimistic and I still believe that the Lord would answer my prayers and grant me a place in the local university. I want have faith in him because I know my Lord work miraculously and make the impossible become REALITY. I am confident that he will make a way for me when there seems to be no way! God bless and may all of you enjoy today!
Btw, I have a couple of people to thank.
1) Lettice, thanks for your pep talk and career guidance. I really respect your foresight into things and I value your comments. I know that you have my best interest at heart. And good luck for your army thing, you have the makings of an excellent female officer and I am happy for you.
2) Leleohead (I feel strange calling you that…) Anyway thanks for your comments and encouragement… you really have a knack at making people laugh, and for your job thing no worries I am sure with your abilities, you would excel anywhere… by the way do check out her blog at http://leleohead.diaryland.com
3) Lastly, aussie babe Ling. Thanks for all your advice and encouragement. You are such a sweet girl… Thanks for believing in me, tell you something I really admire the childlikeness in you.( It’s a good quality that many adults lost while growing up) You taught me to loosen up and sometimes look at life from a simple point of view. All the best for your law studies in Australia and I know you would be a fantastic Registrar in the High Court.
