Oh gosh guys. You read the previous post where i was super emo and everything? Well, immediately after i finished that, i went to my room to laze around. While i was lying on my bed, i reached for my phone to reread the msgs in my inbox and so happens that one of the sms there was from Jerry who sent it that morning (but i hadnt really looked at it as i was rushing to work.) It was a simple msg that just said: Hafa a gr8 day at werk today! Go out and touch lives for the Lord!

At that moment, it really struck me. Touch lives for God.

It was stunning. Like God had just answered all my silly moanings and groanings and ramblings in that one sms.

I realize now that working isnt just something that we HAVE to do (sulkily and papaya-faced). Yes, we are bound by it because we need the money to survive. But it doesnt make life a meaningless monotony. Because going out each day is an oppurtunity to glorify God, to serve and touch others at our workplace.

I was actually really worried because i know how blessed i am to have landed this job (which for ANY school leaver, a huge deal) and it worried me to think that if this job was already tiring me out like this, what more if i start a REAL FULL TIME job? I wanted to know that life was so much more than just slaving away at the office so we can afford to live a decent life; not just for us but our families (i see now why kids are a problem ;p)

But once more, with last night’s miracle (can i call it a miracle? Yes i can), i am reminded once again that God is in control. Put God first, and all these things shall be added unto you. I know, its never easy to put Him first when ten thousand other things are constantly bugging us, worrying us, scaring us, stressing us out. But its true, when you please God and glorify Him, the bible says The joy of the Lord is my strength. Trust Him and and He will strengthen you.

I dont want to sound fake or anything. More often than not im struggling to experience God other than just in print and in church. Haha…sometimes i look at pastors and feel like: Heck, they’re lives are so smooth, so untroubled! But i think thats not true. Life will always be a road full of potholes and we’ll be driving over those holes; bumping and thumping along the way. Question is, are we gonna fight with God for the steering wheel? =) Why think so much when we’re not the driver?

Haha…this sounds like a sermon.But i hope my struggles bring some insight to you so that u’ll face ur struggles in a better way. =)

Kevin told me this the nite before my spm when i was freaking out. He just said: Our motto is in God we trust.

And i think thats all we can do. =)

Have a great day ahead guys!
