Yesterday was quite challenging. I have embarked on this new journey and into my calling with many expectations. I have also been very lazy to dwell in Christ's presence the past few days and was almost discouraged. But as soon as I started reading Joshua, I realized I did not inquire from the Lord (9:14) and no wonder one could be distracted. So I was on track again with ...do not be afraid, do not be discouraged. Be strong and courageous because I will never leave you nor forsake you...
And then I realized that I have been spoilt rotten by spending an awesome August in friends' company and I have been well loved. Now, that I am suddenly here all alone by myself, I know that it is just God and I, and I need to focus- lesson 1.
I also learned that things do not always go the way you have expected- so lesson 2: have a little patience, Elna. Things are happening. Wait and see.
And then, the 3rd lesson- a lesson of humility...never say...I will never do this or that again, because perhaps that is exactly what you need to do to get to the next step on the journey.
and then I came to the conclusion...I have to trust that this is where the Lord wants me now- so deal with it.
2 Thess 3:5 'May the Lord direct your hearts into God's love and Christ's perseverance.'
