It’s been a year since I last posted a blog post. This year has
been very difficult for me in terms of work and Uni. I will definitely write a
blog post on this.
As 2018 is approaching, what are you trusting God for? Is it
something that you prayed for last year and you are choosing to trust God again?
Are you trusting God for your dream job, dream house, to finally meet your
future spouse etc.?
I remember when I completed my first degree in 2013, I trusted
God for a legal job every year. But when I was applying for jobs, all I
received were rejections. I then started to question my purpose in life and
even regretted studying law.
In December 2015, I remember crying out to God, telling him
that I give up and I no longer want to seek a career in the legal field, as I
thought that it was clearly not for me.
But God thought otherwise 🙌🏿: my prayers were answered in May
2016.
That season of my life taught me to
trust in God’s promises. He will never disappoint you. My relationship with God has
been growing since. I learnt that everything will happen at its appointed time.
There’s a reason for the delay and all we need to do is to trust Him.
I applied this in every aspect of my
life, especially during my season of singleness. I was one of these girls who
would pray “next year by this time I will meet my future husband” and still
single on 31st December 🙈.
I hope this post encourages someone. God
hears your prayers, even though it does not look like it. Continue to pray and
trust God. He will not disappoint you. His plan is to prosper you not to harm you.
Lamentations
3:25-33 (MSG)
25-27 God proves to be good
to the man who passionately waits, to the woman who diligently seeks. It’s a
good thing to quietly hope, quietly hope for help from God. It’s a good
thing when you’re young to stick it out through the hard times.
28-30 When life is heavy and
hard to take, go off by yourself. Enter the silence.
Bow in prayer. Don’t ask questions: Wait for
hope to appear. Don’t run from trouble. Take it full-face. The “worst” is
never the worst.
31-33 Why? Because the
Master won’t ever walk out and fail to return.
If he works severely, he also works tenderly. His
stockpiles of loyal love are immense. He takes no pleasure in making life
hard, in throwing roadblocks in the way:..”

Thessalonians 5:16-18 (ESV)
“Rejoice always, pray
without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God
in Christ Jesus for you.”
I wish you all a Happy New Year 😘 🎉
