I am experiencing the toughest season of my life. And I am still in the midst of the storm.
Too much to put it down in words, but it is easy to blame the hb for some, but I know that our lives are a result of choices that we made. And I had a part to play as well.
What we have learnt from this is that we can never depend on our own assumptions, strength, abilities or intelligence…and never take our eyes off God. The positives that have resulted from this is that hb and I have started doing couple devotional time together. I have always been focused on my own spiritual growth and never been a very good team player when it comes to growing together as a couple in Christ.
I am amazed really. Amazed by how much strength and peace that the Lord has given me to sustain me, the joy that I still have in Him despite the difficulties. I am certain that if I do not have God in my life, I would have been crying like mad and panicking like a headless chicken. I did not shed a tear once. And the only response to my panic was to go into prayer. Prayer for the God's hand on the situation, thanksgiving for the daily sustenance and providence. And again God has proven to be so real and faithful in my life, I really felt the words of this verse coming to pass;
Philippians 4:6-7
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
I will continue running with endurance in this last leg of the race for I know 'Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.' – James 1:12
Despite whatever I am experiencing, it is nothing compared to the millions of people out there that are way less fortunate than I am. I am still working on the handmades (for fund raising for Children's Hunger Fund) to help me to remind myself of how blessed I really am.
And I know with utmost certainty that I will be able triump over the storm and soon will be able to exclaim that all glory goes to God!
Hebrews 12:1-3
Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.
I’m in the wilderness at the moment too and waiting to enter the promise land.. It’s a long and tedious journey with seemingly no end in sight so I totally understand. Let’s keep on walking and I’m sure in due season we will reap if we do not lose heart!

The storm will come and go in our lives. What matters is how we handle it. With God’s help nothing is impossible. And what we view as storm, God might sees it differently. It is encouraging that you are very positive in overcoming the storm, and with God, we can do all things!
Stay positive. God allows sorrows and tears today to open our hearts to the joys of tomorrow.
