A Season for Thanksgiving
It's been really quiet here recently. Allow me to give an update. I really want to thank God for a few things these past few weeks.
Firstly, my results. Granted I didn't do fantastically well, but given my performance during the examinations, I am personally quite surprised I did as well as I did. Also, God's presence was keenly felt as the Holy Spirit comforted me when I felt nervous, to the extent that I was calmer than I had ever been in previous semesters, despite this being one of the worst examinations yet.
Secondly, I want to thank God because He has blessed me financially. I say this not because I am doing well in that respect. Indeed, I am now unemployed (no more tuitions!) and I sometimes struggle to keep myself afloat. Yet, I thank God that He has not allowed me to sink further, and my siblings have stepped forward to support me financially. I know this is a stop-gap measure and I will eventually need to get myself employed again. I am confident that He has a better plan, and I do not worry.
Thirdly, I thank Him for giving me an opportunity to participate in His work. The youth camp ended just about a week ago, and I was greatly blessed by it. I learned the heart of a shepherd, if somewhat limited in scope, and I understand Him much better because of that. The Holy Spirit has also strengthened me in my faith, speaking to me in a manner like never before. Although I have always prayed to God, I know that something has changed over this camp and prayer has taken on a whole new meaning for me.
Finally, I thank God for all my brothers- and sisters-in-Christ; for a family that is so special in so many ways. To be able to share my life with all of you has been a source of joy for me. May we all grow together, helping and encouraging each other along the way, and always edifying each other in love. The unity is hard to come by. Let us make every effort to preserve it!
Merry Christmas to all. God bless you!
Henotes,
