being contented..day1.
God himself truly allowed me to be challenge in faith on being contented.
Next month, March,,I'm being tasked for regmential duties. Staying overnight in camp. The last period tat happen, it ended me in the hospital. But with some new rules change, and some special 'privildge' for 'me', I'm expected to try for this coming month's duty. 1 friday night, the other the saturday between good friday and easter sunday.I'm not angry tat I've to do duty. I don't deny fear in me too, esp since the last time, I had lots of 'weapons' to fight the challenge staying overnight in camp. Yes, facilitites have improved, but they're still going be so tough sleeping over. But, I take it tat God allows me to try..to see can I be contented in this situation.
I'm trusting tat the Lord will help me thru.
My health is really nose-diving ...But I thank God tat I can still train, still work-out a little. My back, neck muscles are screaming for relieve..but I can only feed them pills. Yes, the side-effects for pills are coming onto me, but I'm still moving. My health isn't a bargaing chip or for emotional black-mail. I'll gladly give tat up to be physically whole again. But I'm not.And for tat I give thanks. I've to keep moving, becoz if i don't... I may not be able to move much anymore. Tat's y moving around each day is such a blessing to me. Yes, pain keeps me awake, drains my energy...but also keeps my spirit from being comfortable in life on earth.. THere's is no subsitute for heaven, where I will hurt no more.I continue to pray for a mircale in God's timing. Becoz, I believe he allows this for his purpose.
My sister's O-level grades aren't fantastic..but I'm still giving thanks tat all is not lost. Yes, it'll be challenging, but I believe its also a chance to keep her praying over God's will in her life.I'm blessed tat several friends have replied my sms and are praying for her. I also pray tat wise counsel from friends and ppl around will guide her throughout. He has plans to prosper her in his will.
Lastly, I'm very encouraged by Cheryl's blog. Although a part of me wish I could hear her own experiences from her, I'm just thankful tat blogs don't have a ignore list feature.YEt...haha.. I keep praying for her..and tat if I could, bless her. I guess for the 2 of us now, its ...uneasy.. but I believe its like her red wallet. Its has a broken coin pouch. Yes, it can still be used, but it won't be fully functional. THerefore, unless its mended, it can only serve a partial usage. It will come down to a decision one day, to either throw it away, mend it or just keep it and collect dust. Either way, I've to be content on the outcome.
It just a wonderful encouragment to my spirit tat she's being blessed and appreciate God's work ever so much more : )
yes, my body may waste away, my mind be stressed, my emotions may be in a rut, but my spirit has been re-newed by the Lord. Tat's wat matters now. I'm contented.
