Little Cozy Corner

In less than 12 hours, my yo-yo faith in the good Lord was restored last night at our weekly Charamatic meet. Ted and I usually attend this prayer meet because he’s always been with this group and secondly, it’s always nice to share your faith with people who feel the same as you so that you dont feel as if you are left to wander this cruel world alone, fighting for your faith. For me, this is nothing new as I was, for awhile, also a member of my Charasmatic group back home but somehow, my spirit withered and I dropped out. That happens every now and then, and sad to say, I wish it wasnt that way at all.

Anyway, it was nothing short of a miracle at how fast God response when you pray about something or for something. I have been looking out for a casual/short term job just ntil before December to fill up my time and most of all, make some money lar. A woman’s got to be independant to a certain level and thus, living up to that got me on my feet to search for a job. There have been many obstacles along the way meaning that I had problems just getting started to search for a job. Mostly because I’m so dependant on the net to do stuff. Looking for jobs in the papers was just one of the things I did but I had more confidence in the job search more than anything but having no internet was just a pain in the bottom!

But thankfully, MIL’s place still had Ted’s account running and that’s when I went into full swing. Last Saturday, I checked out my online resume and job searche and found a few suitable jobs and I applied for it. But I heard from no one so I took a look at my resume and noticed that I had not updated them and so I did. I said to Ted that I’d go to the CC nearby and check my mail out on Monday and that was what I did [While I was blogging as well lar!]. Sad to say, there was no reply from anyone.

But there were a couple of jobs available and I sent in my resume, hoping for the best. I can honestly tell you that I prayed for a job to become available but I wasnt praying hard for it - honestly. But the funny thing is, and I’ve heard this being said MANY times before, the Lord will show signs of His power, might and love to those who have not much faith in Him and I guess true to this believe - that evening itself, I got an interview for THIS Friday! Now if that is not a miracle of God, I dont know what is. I couldnt believe how fast He responded to my prayer. It’s either that or someone was praying very hard for me, for which I am totally appreciative of, of course. This all happened last evening just before prayer meet.

So after I got the call and set the date, I told Ted that we have to give thanks to the Lord during our prayer meet. It was then that the Lord spoke to me and affirmed me, reassured me that no matter what I do or how shallow my faith in His is, He will always be by me. Those precious words came from Mary, one of our members after our praise and worship session. She said,’Do not worry….let your worries fall unto Me and I shall take care of you. Let not your worries burden you, for I am there.’ I felt my heart just burst from being so overwhelmed by those words and His presence there among us. What I felt was beyond description….those words really put me in my place, it was a reminder that I should not stray away from him but in fact, grow deeper in love and faith of Him. I could have taken it as a slap to my face, a rude awakening from God telling me to,’Oi, wake up! I’m always here, dont think I dont know what’s going on in that muddled head of yours.’ But instead, I felt a gentle reminder that He is always there for me, to help me when I’m down even though I did not ask for help earnestly.

Isn’t it amazing to know that the Lord will never fail you? That He is there, ALWAYS. Watching over you, protecting you from harm and most of all, an eternal source of strength? I could go on and on about the many things He has done for me but I have to also remember that when I dont get things when I want them, it’s because all things happen in His time and not mine. That’s the only thing I know when things dont happen the way I want it and when I want it, is because only He knows what best for me. :love:
