God is a God of details

I am so overwhelmed with thankfulness to God right now.. :') I FINALLY GOT AN INTERNSHIP!!!! After months of tears and waiting and applying and rejections, I finally got one. Trusting God that this is His plan for me, and I really pray that He will keep working in me to will and to work for His good pleasure. Left to my own devices, I just am unable to live for Him unless He works in me and I submit to Him. I have been so unfaithful recently with how I've been spending my time.

My internship will be 2 hours from the city I'm currently living in, and it's in a small town - the demographic are of a lower socioeconomic status.

I am also feeling so thankful that even before I'm leaving for this small town, there are so many kind friends around me who are helping me to make contact with people who are up there.

I started with only knowing one friend who has been so helpful with pointing out places I should or shouldn't live in! And now, I found out that I have another friend up there (senior from my course). A Christian psychologist whom I met once who probably doesn't remember me, but I remember her. And also, friends are putting me in touch with two couples, one of which is looking for someone to flat with them (only have 3 weeks to find a flat, not much time eh). That brings it up to a total of 1+1+1+4 = 7. Ah, God, You are so incredible. I really really am so thankful for Your providence.

If you're the praying sort, please pray for me. Pray that God will guide me in every detail of my move, for me to trust Him for every single detail, and that I will honour Him with all I am and have. :)

Isn't this exciting?! My first time moving out of home! But such a short time to find a place. It's okay, because God is a God of details!

I don't know about tomorrow
I just live from day to day
I don't borrow from its sunshine
For its skies may turn to gray
I don't worry over the future
For I know what Jesus said
And today I'll walk beside Him
For He knows what is ahead

Uncomfortable memories

I wanted to reflect on a few things I couldn't do when I had my disc injury last year because again, I think it's important to see how far God has brought me. Warning that this is a hard read/ a bit of a downer, but it also might help you be grateful for so many movements we take for granted! These were 7 things I couldn't do at the height of my pain, but thankfully can now do. 1. Cutting my toenails - bending over was so painful and so hard for a few months and needed help with clipping them, which was so humbling 🦶🏻🦶🏻 2. Changing - it was quite painful to twist my body to change my clothes. Gosh I remember having so little motivation to get out of my pajamas or not even caring what I wear for work when I usually enjoy dressing up 🧥👚👗 3. Sitting - probably the most painful activity of all, and I still have limits to this. For about 6 months, I could only sit for 30 mins before I experienced the disc pain. Those were the days where I had to stand up every 30 minutes ...

Just keep swimming

I think God is really really teaching me a lesson of perseverance in this season of my recovery. This season has undeniably bore such beautiful gifts, and the frustrations it comes with are real and tough too. Sometimes, I just ask God questions, not knowing if He will answer, but trusting that He lends me His ears to hear me. How much longer, God? Why can't I (fill in the blanks with my frustrations towards myself)?  Why can't You (fill in the blanks with my frustrations towards God)? At the heart of these questions, I think the main question I ask God is:  Do You see me God? Do You care for me? My most recent question I asked God is why did You allow this recent flare-up with my back to happen?  Everything was going so well and then You allowed me to have a setback. This even happened just before I was planning to join my church music team to play for an Alpha camp. I had to plan the day so I made sure I had enough rest and I couldn't as carefreely serve. Th...

Worries big and small

I remembered asking God why.. so often while I'm singing or while listening to the pastor preach or when I'm at my small group, my strength is renewed, my cares are released and my faith deepened. But not long after, I return to my tasks and responsibilities with drudgery and I worry worry worry worry worry. I got my answer through this sermon I was listening to: it's because though I lay my burdens down while I'm at church, at the end of the church service - I pick up my burdens and take the whole pile with me out the door. Ha. And this little article I just read (below) is pretty much saying the same thing, really blessed by it! ‘Casting all of your anxiety on Him because he cares for you’ 1 Peter 5:7. The word casting means to throw upon. It’s a deliberate forceful throwing. Some suggest Peter used this term because he was a fisherman and that involves taking a fishing net and forcefully throwing it out from the boat. Peter is actually quoting from Psalm 55:22...
