Woh.. Sooo tired right now. Loonnngggg day today. But no tiredness will stop me from declaring God's goodness!
If I have to look through today with my tinted human eyes today, I would say that my day started horrible today. Was kinda upset cos I prayed before I slept last night that today will be a day of victory for me as I battle the evil one. (I have been fighting the thoughts he put in my head for days....)
:( Didn't sleep well. Woke up almost every hour. Bad dreams. These dreams were about the very things that disturbed me these past few days. The dreams came one after another, waking me up. Not a good sleep at all.
:( Saw an old friend whom I didn't see in a long time. Took the same bus with her to school. She updated me with some news I rather not know. And believe it or not, this news I heard from her was related to the very same thing that disturbed me that made me had the bad dreams.
Sad start of the day. I told God, "Daddy God, I still believe that today is a day of victory. I'm not the one fighting the battle, but it's You. And I know we will win the battle.
And you know what? Things started to look up from then on.
:) Saw Fanny's sms. She prayed that God's presence be so strong in my life today. (And it did! Thank You, Daddy God for this prayer Your daughter uttered for me!)
:) Friend told me the stipend is in. It's in early this year! Supposedly to be in in mid-Feb. Thank You, ABba Father, so much! Just when I need the money so so much!
:) Then came my sister's funniest, weirdest sms. Made me laughed out loud in the midst of my tutorial! The bad dreams, the news forgotten as I laughed. God took my frown away and replaced it with laugh wrinkles!
:) Then came my sister's prayer through sms. She prayed for knowledge and wisdom for me so that I may know God more. What a timely message. I really needed it then.
:) Boss sms-ed me. Pay is ready to collect! Not only does God give me the money I need, He give me extra!! How great is my God!
:) My friends in school. Saw and met up with many old friends whom I seldom see around school. Chatted and laughed. Had a great time.
:) Checked email in between lessons. Saw Monica's comment. I made a friend in America!! How great to see how God had used the two of us to encourage one another. Yes, Daddy King, Your kingdom knows no end! Your glory shines to the ends of the earth!!
:) Had DG. Again, fun and laughter. Eric brought a friend. Lester joined us. FULL ATTENDENCE!! So much fun and yet, in the midst of it all, God's word was spoken. His word reminded. What a great time.
Noticed something? God loves me so much. He 'compensates' my two :( with SEVEN :). He is just so so so good. He loves me so so so so much.
What a DAY of VICTORY!

Ok. Very sleepy now. Going to end this entry with what Fanny said that made a huge impression in me. "When you ask God to open your eyes, make sure you are ready to see what He shows you and be obedient to it. When you ask God to make you more like Jesus, make sure you are ready to make sacrifices to do what Jesus did. Love."
