God Among Us

Hello Universe! (:
Its time to catch up on the weeks of blogging that I missed. Well basically, last friday the most annoying thing happened to me - I fell into a hole and sprained my ankle. I hated it right from the start firstly becaused I had to limp to school as I fell before school even started! Secondly, I cannot run and jump around anymore!

But now as I live through this horrible thing for 6 days, I look back at all the little things that happened around me, the big and small stuff, frankly I tell you, God was truly present among the classmates back in school, the good friends at church, Zj , even strangers! I mean people always tell you that " God is among us, at home, at school or even at work!" but you know human nature always gets in the way and in the beginning you will doubt it. But when you truly experience it, it is then that you will say, yes its true! And so I'm saying it is really true!

Its true because I experience God's love through the many people around me. The concerned expressions on the faces of the teachers, the classmates or schoolmates who help me queue up to get food, the good friends at church who have to walk slowly with me from church to ah seah (: ! There are so many that I can mentioned but I remember 2 particular incident and these 2 struck me the most.

On monday, I remembered having to go home by taking the bus. Taking the bus is not a bad thing, but the bad thing is that you have to try to beat the crowd to get in the bus. I remembered standing with my schoolmate at the bus stop, and already the bus stop was packed with IJ girls. When 136 came, everyone rushed to stand in the front, flagging for the bus to stop infront of them, so they wouldn't have to squeeze later. I was in the front, and I remember flagging too, and as the bus approached I think the bus uncle saw my bandaged ankle, and he drove the bus really slowly till it came to a stop , right in front of me! (: And as I got up the bus, he asked me how was my leg and the way he had a tone of concern and it got me thinking, a stranger, a concerned voice, it was as though he knew me really well. But I never really thought that as God working through him till I spoke to one of my good friend, who said that it could be God's little work. (:

The second incident happened yesterday, I was walking to church and as I walked I complained to God about my day, having to meet with people who kept pushing me in the bus as though my ankle had no bandage. So as I walked to church I said to God, " there's no kind soul in this world eh God?" and as I walked down the over head bridge, this lady ( a stranger ), came up to me speaking chinese, asking me what happen to my ankle, whether I went to see a doc and she told me to take good care of myself and not to walk too much. And immediately I thought back about my little conversation with God about no kind soul in this world. And as I reflect back, that lady approaching me was God's little answer to me, that actually there are kind souls in this world.

Through all these I saw God's marvelous ways of working through the people around me,my family, friends, schoolmates and even strangers!
THANK YOU LORD!

HOW AMAZING THAT NO MAN CAN COMPREHEND
