Its just the beginning of yr 3 and im beginning to feel the heats. On sunday, dont know feeling stress over what, was feeling stress that night. Guess was stress over yr 3 projects, modules, so many adult nursing and DG... I tried to call Tina, Cynthia but no one picked up their phones. I also met Y. that night... but she said she was also very stressed as she is in 4 weeks of attachment at CGH and needs to do case study even though shes only in the 2nd week of attachment. Yes, i know how she feels cos ive gone thru them b4... and she also must know that theres a God whom she can cast her cares on, she can trust for peace. Well, i believe it will all be in His timing, that one day she will come to know Him! :) As i went back last night, i suddenly remembered the psalm that Cynthia shared during her testimony sharing at TGIF 2/3 weeks ago... When i read it, i felt peace. This is what it says:
Psalm 23
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want
He makes me lie down in green pastures
(I imagined that im in the field, with the Lord and He made me lie down on the grass)
He leads me beside quiet waters
He restores my soul
He guides me in paths of righteousness for His name's sake
(imagine Jesus my shepherd guiding me)
Even though i walk through the valley of the shadow of death
(right now, my valley of shadow of death is my year 3 yr)
I will fear no evil, for You are with me
(Jesus is with me, who can be against me?)
Your rod and your staff they comfort me
(the sight of His rod/staff comforts me, as it shows He is with me)
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies
(once again-If the Lord is for me, who can be against me?)
You anoint my head with oil
My cup overflows
Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever
(God promises-we will be with Him forever)
Isnt it peaceful? Imagine someone whom you ultimately put your trust/securities in. It can be your father for some, your mother for some, your bestfriend/boyfriend/husband/wife. Imagine you are alone in a small lane. Suddenly a gang comes, threatening to beat you up and you are all alone. You dont know how to fight. How do you feel? Afraid right? Suddenly the person whom you put your trust in comes in and the gang, afraid of that person, runs away and never came back. Even that person's belongings (eg. bag, etc.) make you feel relieved. That person says,"... (your name)... , dont worry, I am here. With you." How do you feel now? peace right? relieved and relaxed right? This is how Jesus is like to me. He's my shepherd, who's guiding me. When i face troubles, He is always with me. After i meditated on it, peace came over me. I believe that is God. That is His peace. Then when i saw km's email again, i was also reminded that this was the verse we focused on in SM retreat! Wow! God truly spoke! :)
