Is this really a time of testing for me? Just heard a news about a friend whom I met last summer back home..he died in a car accident last night. It was indeed shocking to hear..He died at such young age. Though i don't really noe him so well, but he did put a smile on my face with his jokes and silly things he did whenever i hung out with him.. This just makes me wonder how grateful I am to God for giving me every single day. We should indeed count our blessings. =)
So much things has been going through my mind lately..my dad, the loan,guys ( not that much tho hehe) ...n Last night my mum msged me thru facebook telling me about how my dad's condition has worsen and he's currently being admitted in the hospital..my mum didn't want to tell me at 1st fearing that I wouldn't be able to concentrate in my studies but her cell grp leader insisted it was best to let me noe so me n my friends can pray for my dad. I thought my dad was fine after the operation but according to my mum the pain came back after a few days. It pains me at times cos I can't do anything about it and Im here in russia.. But Im really relieved that my mum sees it as a positive thing and she has her cell grp with her by her side =).. She constantly reminds me that God is in control of everything n I do not have to worry but just continue to trust God in this matter. My dad is not a christian and when my mon told me he agreed to join the alpha programme (a course which introduces the christian faith) and indeed I was happy cos my dad is drawing near to God..
this verse was constantly on my mind Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future........so probably this sickness my dad is having now is a way for him to draw near to God..=) and at the same time I believe it brings me n family closer to God drawing strength out of Him..=)
