Always a Reason 2 Rejoice



Best friend?
I defined them as people who are willing share your joy and tears together and walk you through in your life journey.

"Ecclesiastes 4:9-12"

9Two people can accomplish more than twice as much as one; they get a better return for their labor. 10If one person falls, the other can reach out and help. But people who are alone when they fall are in real trouble. 11And on a cold night, two under the same blanket can gain warmth from each other. But how can one be warm alone? 12A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer.Three are even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken

I was definately encouraged and I am being blessed with this friendship with God's guidance. My human imperfections tells me that I don't deserve it, It is too good to be true. Have you ever felt that way?

I am who I am, I come from a humble background and from a normal pool of people and I don't stand out from the society. One thing I know God has picked me to be his child, his friend and his disciple. As I am playing those role , I felt the same as how it goes I am who I am nothing so special and does not stand out from the crowd of million peoples.

God has been so good to me...that was how the song goes, it gave me strength, security and knowing that he accepted me as who I am. He provides me with the inner spirit that I can bring out the outer strength.

Thanks for the roses my bestfriend, it makes me felt special and stand out as a best friend of yours. I appreciate the time we shared, the fellowship we had, the great times we go through and sad times that you comfort me.

God is definately the source of all senses, that brought our friendship together. Path crosses and thus we met. Thanks for being a real true friend to me, teaching me, encouraging me, discipling me, inspiring me and even share this journey in discouvering God with me.

May this friendship glorified God in everyway.



Love,
Evelyn

One Step At a Time

This few days make me think alot about future. Sometimes it just make me feel so worry about things. Anyway, since I already decided to just trust God and let God decide I guess the only right thing to do is now to be surrender about it. If you ask me whether had I surender, lets see when trials come.

Talking about future, I think everyone are anxious about how's life going to be. I remembered that ZQ used to tell us that we all wants conclusion in everything we do. Therefore, no one goes to the movie if there is no ending to it. There is times there is no ending and thus you would expect a Part 2 for it..

A Brother approach me on our way back from mid week service. " Sis actually want to ask your opinion but it is a bit late" of course not to turn him down I say tell me I'll answer in 5 minutes. Scott is nice enough to wait for me while I'm listening about what this brother had to tell me.

I was asked about marriage. Wow! I thought to myself am I so mature to handle this? He he..no bad at all I can be a counsel now. Anyway serious, he want some opinion from the sisters whether we are open or secure to talk about marriage. Since I'm single and still am but I have convictions that this is a part of everyone's life. Even God said that we are his bride right?

This is not a light topic to talk about, yet it is not heavy either. It takes both party to think about the next step or direction in their life. Just like we decide to follow God, we are not only to take the blessing we are to face the trials as well right?

So, basically he ask me whether it is ok to open up this topic to his girlfriend. For me, it was a great topic to talk about when you are ready to take the responsibility and to assure the other half that you are serious about it. Hm...talking like an expert...hm...:)

Anyway, go slow enjoy, discover, assure, protect most importantly pray that God directs those good intention. Make sure you invite me hoh...

All the best!

Love,
Eve
