Monday, January 1, 2007: Your creation
AHH, first post of the year :D :D :D :D :D how exciting. :D
well its a new year, new start of something even better, that God has provideth! says pastor malcolm. with new mountains to climb and new peaks to conquer. but i know my God will carry me through everything (: and with him there's no obstacle that will be too difficult for me to handle.so yes! i cant wait for the new year to come, i shall anticipate every new day, because each day is a new opportunity to serve my God. (:
this year has been so quick! i cant believe it. and i'm turning 18 soon (yes in a month and 10 days)! although it sounds super exciting, i'm actually quite scared. i dont want to turn 18! too much responsibility and it means i've only got 1 more year as a teen! i'm OLD.
anyway, in other news.
i saw two rainbows today! they were side by side, one was more solid, you'd notice it at first glance. the other, less prominent, you'd have to stare hard to realise that it was there. the rainbows reminded me of God's promises.
the first one reminded me of God's mercy and love for us and that God always keeps His promises (see Genesis 8:20 - 9:17). how after the big flood God made a promise to "never curse the ground because of man, even though every inclination of his heart is evil from childhood." God's love for us is so amazing. He decides to even forgive us, and send Jesus down to die for us so that we can be saved. How wonderful! (:
the fainter one reminded me of God's faithfulness. how sometimes when we fail to look beyond the gloomy clouds, we lose sight of the beautiful rainbow that's always been there: The everlasting promise that God Will be there for us No Matter What. that He's always there looking after us, watching out for us. it reminded me of the footprints in the sand story, about how God's always there, He never left us, instead He was carrying us through the hard times.
so yeah (: just to share. rainbows are so pretty arent they! God's so creative. God really never ceases to amaze me. (:
so i know, i just know, that things will be okay next year! nothing to daunting for me to conquer with the help of God, because God promised! (:
And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempthed, He will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it 1st Cor 10:13
a shout of praise.
