I was reading through some of my posts from last year and boy! was I reminded of how much God has been there for me through the good times and the bad times. And before I forget some symbols of love he has shown me. I better blog it down as well.
Some time back, I was reading a book "Captivating" and the author was talking bout how God showed her husband a symbol of his love for him and hearing how special that symbol was, she asked God for 1 too. Initially disappointed that after waiting, she didn't see the same symbol as what God gave her husband. But as she was walking along the lake, God showed her another set of symbol that was crafted just for her!
And den, on a Sunday, as I was in the bus heading towards Church, I thought of this suddenly and was asking God if he'll do it for me. But jokingly brushed it aside thinking why wld God ever do this for me. It's a joke. It's not possible.
But the Monday after, i just happened to ask a fren for a ride home after gym and as we were driving along ECP, from afar...we saw this really bright and huge thing and my fren was telling me tt it's a MOON! and i was like "you're kidding me right?? it's a HOT AIR balloon right??" (Since my frens like to disturb me...i really tot he was doin tt too and asked a few more times) and yes! it IS a moon. And i'll use something else as a comparison.
Imagine we see the usual moon as the size of a 5cent coin...and on tt day, it is the size of a Roti Prata. Yes! tt's how big it is. Initially, I was just in awe of how big the moon looked and how that cld have happened! And as I kept thinking bout how big the moon is and stuff, God suddenly spoke and said "You asked me for tt symbol of love, there...this is from me to you". Gosh!!! i was overwhelmed and really really touched upon the realisation and was tryin to let the whole thing sink in, yet not seem distracted when talking to my fren.haha...
Tt's 1 symbol for u!
Nxt up.....an earlier jogging sess one fine day after work and as i was doing my crunches after the run, i looked up to the sky, and there i saw..An EAGLE! reminded me again of God's love and how Eagles are constantly used in bible parallels. "They will soar on wings like Eagles, they will run and not grow weary, walk and not be faint." God is the strength of my heart! AMEN!
Third encounter, I had left my phone and passport at home and that day, was actually gonna stay over at the hotel tt night. Dad happened to be at home still in the morning, and I quickly called him to bring it down to his office so it's nearer for me to drop by his office from my office instead of going home. On my way there, it started to pour like REALLY HEAVILY! and since I had to buy Koi for my colleagues and there was shelter from the bus stop, I thought might as well go get it 1st and while i was on my way there, i kept praying that God will stop the rain and create a miracle.(I nv had such faith when i made such prayers) and true enuff, the rain didn't seem to be subsiding any moment...my next thought was to look out for any of the church workers and hope that they are on their way back after lunch. But no1 seemed to be in sight..
So while waiting,suddenly this uncle appeared in front of me and asked how my bros and i are doing and after a few seconds, I realised he's the fruit stall uncle who attends service in my church and knows my whole family!! This uncle den asked if i needed an umbrella and with relief, I gratefully and readily answered that I needed 1! and so, he gave me his umbrella, and "ran to his stall".Before I could grumble bout how God didn't answer my prayers, i thought of it in another way..
God didn't stop the rain, but he sent me an Angel! And many a times, I, being human, tend to complain bout the bad but nv saw the good and if i had been more positive, I believe there had been countless times when he sent angels to me.
And finally.....one day on my way to work, instead of sitting at my usual 2 sit corner in the train, I decided to go to the long side corner and sit and usually, I would have KO the moment I sat down. BUT this time round, I just felt like staying awake till i reached Pasir Ris. BOY! was i glad I stayed awake...cos I saw the MOST BEAUTIFUL SUNRISE! It was AWESOME! I tell u...i could see the sun and the whole scenery was.....just beautiful!God again, reminded me of the moon incident and I was reminded yet again of his love for me.
I'm blessed! What more can I ask for?
