Okay, it’s 12.46 AM and I’m still awake. I’ve been tossing and turning for almost 2 hours already. Do you know how IRRITATING that can be?! Argh… Matters don’t help when something triggered your sinus and you’re sniffing away like Snuffles in Sesame Street. Your nose is so blocked that you can barely smell anything. Yes, I just found out that mosquitoes are fond of me. They’ve been biting me almost every night. Currently, I have four bites on my left arm and two bites on my right leg. Great, I’ve just got kissed by mosquitoes. Just hearing that buzzing around my ears frustrates me. I’ve just made mosquitoes fatter…
I went tried to get my mom’s sympathy and complained like a little girl. Instead of sympathizing me, she started laughing at me. I’m like, “Mom, it’s not funny???” She starts laughing some more. *shakes head* aren’t moms the best? You try to get their sympathy but it backfires on you big time… She’ll give me this motherly hug and pats my arm and says, “Eh, you got a lot of flesh ar. So comfortable.” Am I enveloped by motherly love or what? *laughs*
Anyway, it’s quite hard to believe that it’s almost the end of the year. A brand new year is about to begin. Another chapter of my life unfolds itself… For the past few weeks or so, I find myself reflecting on God’s greatness.
Looking back, I have so much to thank for… I have a family that I can depend on. Sure, we had major and disagreements, but my family is definitely irreplaceable. I have friends… I can just be myself around them. That includes laughing and screaming and more laughing. This awesome church has been a tremendous blessing.
Struggles that came across my path made me a stronger person. God placed them there so that it would be character-building and I would depend on Him more than I depend on myself. I know I’m far from being a finicky person, but I managed to achieve certain goals this year, thanks to God’s grace.
God let golden opportunities come across my path, but it was not His will for me to seize them. He showed me that there are many good things but they are not the best. Many times we take snatch up the good things and overlook the best things that God has in plan for us. It seems so hard, so painful to actually let go of what may seem to be golden opportunities and trust that He has something better in mind. But when you obey Him, let go of your dreams and hold on to Him, you feel this sense of peace that the world can’t take away. You still wonder what God has in mind, but you will keep holding onto Him because He’s the only one worth holding onto.
God has definitely put a dream in my heart. My circumstances are forcing me to part from that dream. It seems beyond my grasp. It’s like I’m so near to grabbing the dream, but just when I’m about to grab it, it’s yanked away. It seems like my circumstances are taunting me, jeering at my will to keep holding on, forcing me to just give up. But I know that the dream is a God-given thing. I believe that God is opening a door that no man can shut for me.
Whoa… This whole post is so jumbled up. Well, sorry you had to read all my ramblings. Ooh, it’s raining!! And it's 1.26AM.. That’s my cue to hit the sack now. I pray that God will let His blessings be known to all of you. Goodnight!
Hugs and more hugs from me! *smiles*
