Sick but Blessed!

I am down with a serious viral attack, an epidemic I believe started since January as reported in the Straits Times. Fortunate me, we don't have cadets and I am allowed to take MC and rest back home. So though I am sick I must say I am blessed to just laze around at home today doing what I like best: READ!

I just finished the 3rd book of the Trilogy, My Story consisting of A Child Called 'It', The Lost Boy and A Man Named Dave. It was truly inspiring and encouraging! A book that once I picked up, found hard to put down even for toilet breaks.

It continued with how Dave being an adult grow and mature to overcome all that was in the past and walk out of the struggles he faces day to day even as an adult with the past chewing at him. I was not physically abused like him as a kid but I believe its not hard to empathize with him as I have. The lessons he brought out in his books were simple ones like the one that I had emphasized upon in my previous post about choosing to let what happened to you bring you down or act as a stepping stone. Others include giving the best one can give no matter what he/she has cause God definitely planned it and let your past go. Forgive and forget may not be easy but they are gifts that we have received and should freely give too. Definitely lessons that I am to learn from.

Lord I thank you for showing me how fortunate I am and at the same time showing me a little about the kind of future that I want to live. I know the lessons you have in this books are one that you want me to work on so continue to guide me and speak to me about this things and teach me. I like Dave give Thanks to You for You hold our lives in Your Hands and You're Sovereign. We may not understand the things that happened and are happening but we need to learn to trust, to trust in Your Goodness and Your Plans. I have seen how it worked out for Dave so Lord, like doubting Thomas, I have seen, help me in my unbelief.
