The entire week has been hectic for me with assignments but by God's grace, I survived! We all survived. I'm writing this post in dedication of this whole week because God's timing has been so perfect, placing everything at a perfect timing for His perfect purpose.
Started this entire week busy with uni stuff; two assignment submissions, one reflection submission; one quiz; plus one unexpected quiz; and CF commitments. I don't deny that it is stressful but in this 'storm', God provided me with the right people, right conversations, and just the right kind of support I needed.
3 moments that is worth sharing this week regarding God's timing:
i. Having people staying up with me throughout the process of completing the assignments
I don't know what I did to deserve friends like them. It's simply a blessing to have friends that share the same mind. Checking each other's work and affirming each other's progress; having a listening ear to rant about wanting to give up and wash drains yet end up being encouraged at the end of the conversation.
ii. Having the right people to talk to at the right time:
Though I'm still having a difficult time deciding whether to accept the position or not, I thank God for the support of my beloved mamas and teacher adviser. I think right now, it doesn't matter if I take the position or not because the team will share the equal amount of responsibility but not everybody will share the same burden. I don't want to take this position feeling as if it's a burden but I want to feel the joy of the Lord overwhelming me as I choose to serve Him and do His Kingdom work where He called me.
Just had a talk with Joanna in CG when we were discussing about prayer, and being reminded to pray about it is one thing that I will take away from our conversation.
iii. Falling down (literally):
I haven't fell down in a very long time which means that I have no felt this kind of physical, tangible pain for ages. I admit it kinda feels good. But my point is what better time to fall down and get injured than this! It's not every time I serve that I don't have to stand. It's not every weekend I get to play the keyboard for main service. It's not a coincidence that I fell and injured my left leg instead of my right leg. Moreover, it's not a coincidence that it's mid sem break and I don't have to wear jeans or go to uni for 5 days a week.
God is sovereign and in control. I could only imagine falling down and getting my leg injured and having to stand for long hours and sing with this amount of physical pain; or getting my right leg injured and having to move it constantly as I step on the pedals to sustain each key.
I could only think of this week, smile and give thanks. Thank You Jesus for reminding me again that You are faithful, You are in control, Your timing is perfect, and You are a real God and that I love You for who You are.
Ending this week with a smile, and in hope of an amazing next week with God by my side every step of the way.
