And oh,
Your grace is sufficient for me,
In every way,
This truth is my strength.
Everyday of my life,
I know,
Goodness and mercy follow me,
Everyday, every time.

I’ve embarked on a journey to the O levels holding my Daddy God’s hand where He will lead me by still waters and should I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will not be alone. When I stumble He will lift me up and hold me in His love.
I’ve locked my blog because this is a very personal journey that I would first like to embrace on my own. By the time you read this, it would have been reopened and the chronicles of my final three months up to the O levels will be fully documented, well fully documented in my terms anyway.
|Today is July 27, 2010. Day One of my faith journey with God.|
You know how much I’d wanted to go to ACJC? I was almost praying to God that He’d get me in somehow. Like maybe they’d mix up my application with some super pro netball chick’s and I get accepted on those terms. That would be good enough for me, however way I got into ACJC.
BUT, as always. God has a better plan that we can ever ask or imagine. And so at around 5pm today, after suffering a bad headache due to the weather and skipping focus to head home for some rest(with permission of course!!), I received a call from Ms T, the teacher-in-charge of netball at ANGLO-CHINESE JUNIOR COLLEGE. And I tell you I was brimming with excitement.
No, it wasn’t an acceptance(YET, hopefully!!). Because apparently I had submitted my application a tad too late(must’ve been God’s will and planning), I had missed phase 1 of the DSA exercise at ACJC. D: BUT BUT BUT. Ms T was asking me to go down for a trial tomorrow at 5.15pm that is not the official trial but should I make the cut, they will put me in during the phase 2 applications and I won’t have to go for the 2nd phase trials.
I’m sure I’m not the only one who submitted late, so it surely is God’s goodness and favour that caused her to pick mine as one out of two of the girls who will be going tomorrow for the trial. I mean, what were the odds??? Basically every netballer will apply to DSA because they’re the A Div champs. And yet they picked me. I am the head and not the tail, above and not beneath.
I know you must be thinking I’m crazy being so happy over something so indefinite, but if God has not withheld His only begotten son, how will he not freely give me ALL things? The fact that I have been picked out of the papers alone, even if I don’t get the acceptance in the end, is already good enough a testimony that God has been working behind the scenes and especially these few days when I am fully conscious of God’s love for me has the blessings really begun to flow. And I say begun because I know the best is yet to be. That God has even more in store for me as I learn to allow Him to embrace me more and more.
I’m looking forward to the days ahead with a confident expectation of good that I will perform exceedingly, abundantly and above every expectation in every thing that I do because of whose child I am! Because I AM the beloved child of God in whom He is well-pleased.
AND. You wanna know something? I had anointed my application! And God’s anointing gives me the power to rest and reign, honoring me by anointing my head with oil. My cup overflows with His blessings. Surely Your goodness and unfailing love will follow me all the days of my life.
Seriously, I’m starting to see it practically and not just in theory, that resting in the Lord’s love for me gives me the power to rest and reign, the power to be victorious in life! I think this must be the restoration from camp! And I realize how before everything happens in the natural, we are truly changed from the inside out. Right believing gives way to right living. When I hadn’t seen the results, I continued to thank Daddy God for every single day because I learnt that we praise God no matter the situation so in the mornings, before I even knew what the day was gonna be like, I already started thanking God that it would be an AWESOME day filled with His Wisdom, knowledge, Favor and understanding. After all, we need to speak it and claim it for it to happen and for it to become ours.
This must’ve been the product of all the praying in tongues and thanking God for all the good as if it has already happened. God makes it so easy for Him to bless us. All we have to do is ask and He will grant the desires of our heart.
But the thing that makes this awesome is that, usually, I thank God only after I see the miracle or the good outcome, but now I’ve learnt to tap into the faith realm where we speak and it becomes and it’s so awesome that my love for Daddy God is not because of His blessings but first and foremost because of my revelation of His love for me. And we love because He first loved us. And knowing how much He sacrificed for us really causes me to want to be embraced by this Abba who wants to bless us in every way if only more people knew of His love for them.
Well, I’m looking forward to the smacks of blessings to come and reveling in God’s love every day has definitely made me a happier person. :) And I know that tomorrow when I go for that trial, I will shine with God’s favor, be anointed with his goodness and be enveloped in His love for me that will make me more than a conqueror! Amen! :D
Love,
Debs [The Child whom Jesus Loves. :) ]
