Bittersweet 2009

2009 is bittersweet for me, sweet in the beginning, bitter in the middle and sweet again towards the end. Bitter was dominant, life was meaningless, life was purely routine & even shoppings didn't help - to a shopaholic like me, shopping without buying is torturing. The sweet came in Nov when I went for my 1st wisdom tooth extraction. It was painful, removed 2 as the doc refused to remove all 4, citing I still need to eat =) The long MC was a good break for me, somehow God spoke & made me realised that if I'd the gut to endure the pain from wisdom tooth extraction why should I stop there? I'd choices - to either lead a meaningless or meaningfull life. Sure it wouldn't be easy to undo all the damage I did earlier but it was necessary to undo them, just like my wisdom tooth extraction. And I'm thankful to my heavenly Father for watching over me during these rebellious period, He didn't give up on me. All glories to Him who is ever loving & merciful. My prayer is that I'll continue to choose HIM above anything & everything.

Faith of Noah or Job?

I wanted to blog the message below (by Dr Geoff Gorsuch) awhile back but didnt have time till now =)

Faith is risk & involves 3-P, personal, promise & preparation. It deals with the future & invisible.

Noah's faith

His faith was based on a personal promise that required preparation. God told Noah what to do, gave him all the facts & he obeyed.

Job's faith

His faith was based on God's character. God was silent. Job received no facts or tasks or preparation or personal promise. He trusted God.

What's my faith? Job or Noah? It depends on the season in my life. About 3 months ago, it was Job's faith - the struggles I had with work, family & personal issues was one of the darkest periods in my life. The 3-in-1 (3 struggles at 1 time) was too much for me. The breakthrough came after I fully surrendered to God (after exhausting all my strenghts & efforts) . . . at work, situations turned around - work issues were resolved & relationship with colleagues began to improve. At home, I've His peace & assurance to bring my family through this trying period. All in all, God was & is good =)
