that's the saddest panel of calvin and hobbes I've seen yet.
and I'm afraid that it's gonna be my life when I grow up and go into the big, bad world. but anw, I know I'm the kinda girl who goes to sleep latest by 11plus pm and wakes up at 7am plus when everyone else is still logging into their school emails and mugging like crazy. but recently, I haven't been getting enough sleep too! like now when I should be copying doing my FA hw and getting ready for FA mid-terms later today at 830am haha, instead I'm blogging la zzz. enough of frigging debits and credits, how do acct students do it la?! anyhows, I didn't finish studying the last chap properly, pray it doesn't come out at all tmr!
funny how school life does that to you. I spent my weekends sitting in front of a book, it was like those kind of drama, where they flip the outside sky from day to night, night to day and the girl goes on studying and studying with no change. haha, that has been life for the past two weeks. and mostly, I'm not upset. I'm just tired of always being the one waiting.
now waiting for recess week to come quickly please :)
"Let them give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing love and His wonderful deeds for men, for he satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things."
Psalm 107:8-9
when you call, He answers. whatever you need, He knows completely. before you even open your mouth to ask, He has given it to you. today was one of the few days when I felt it so so strongly, that His hand is upon us wherever we go, that He has provided everything we need though our human eyes could not comprehend his amazing plan for us.
I've been praying about it for about a month now already but I was afraid if I told Chris, that he would get his hopes up and be crushed if it didn't out the way we wanted. but somehow I heard the word pretty clearly the first time around and I told him that it would be the Grand Copthorne. later, he got called back a few times by the manager but I didn't know that it was the Grand Copthorne. today we were out chilling at tampines, having KFC at the post office when he got a call. he went out to take the call and took a long time with it. when he came back, we were overjoyed to find out that he had gotten it at the Grand Copthorne.
at that moment, I felt the full goodness of my God. He heard me all this time and He spoke to me at a time when we were both struggling with so much stuff. right now, we feel like the burdens we've been carrying just fell away and our hearts are fille d with gratefulness, relief and thanksgiving. we're out of the desert and into the promised land.
the past one-month-and-a-half have been anything but easy. to me, we went through the most difficult period of our time together. but standing here now, in the face of His wonderful provision, I'm so glad that we stood by each other and had faith. words cannot describe the joy and thanksgiving I have in my heart now.
thank you so much for loving us and bringing us through.
The Song of Ascents 1 I lift up my eyes to the hills— where does my help come from? 2 My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth. 3 He will not let your foot slip— he who watches over you will not slumber; 4 indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. 5 The LORD watches over you— the LORD is your shade at your right hand; 6 the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. 7 The LORD will keep you from all harm— he will watch over your life; 8 the LORD will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore. Psalm 121
in the light of all that has happened this week, I think I should remember what is most important in the end. in the end, love is not spending time together, buying new things for each other or having to account to the world for what's going on. love is patient, it is kind, it bears no grudges and keeps no record of wrongdoings. it does not envy, does not boast, does not anger easily and it is not self-seeking. it always protects, always hopes, always trusts and always perseveres. I know I talked about this before, but sometimes I just need to be reminded of what I should be looking to. sometimes it's easy to get carried away by what the world tells me my relationship should be like. but when push comes to shove, the thing is that we account to each other and to Him only for whatever goes on between us. so once for and all, I want to deal with the problem I have when it comes to having not enough time and not allow it to crop up every so often when we're going through a busy patch. I know that all the qualities of love doesn't come by human effort, it comes only when I allow Him to take over. so I wanna stop worrying about trying to fix things, fix dates, fix this. I want to hand it over to Him and trust. trust that He will help me have more patience, empathy and understanding. that with the passing of each day, we learn to become each other's emotional pillars, to learn to care, to learn to love. not in the selfish way that the world understands as love, but in the way it is in the Bible. where I can learn to put him first before myself. that I will learn not to look at others and to covet what they have, because everyone is unique and mine is special to me. though this week has been tough, both on the school front and on the emotional front, I know that this eventually will pass. what matters is how we deal with it. and right now, I'm dealing with it by remembering that love never despairs. real love hopes, trusts, protects and perseveres. and whenever it gets tough, I must go back to my basics again. not to get caught up in the emotions that try to bring me down, but know that I stand upon a rock with a person I love, a rock that stands firm in the face of all things. so no more emoing one corner, I'm getting up and moving on. to do my law stuff though sadly haha!
though honestly, I would say for the first time, I'm more angry than hurt. in all in all, I suppose in the end it will be okay. if it's not okay, then it's not yet the end.
but I don't want to go to bed at night mad at you.
