faith

lately i have been in SUCH a university dilemma. i have received an offer from one university to study medicine there, but throughout the year, my first choice has always been monash australia. and now, i keep feeling like i should keep waiting for monash's offer, to let go of the one i have now and just wait, for God's miracle in this issue. definitely right now, my family's worried, i'm worried, cause i already have a good university in hand, why throw it all away for a 'maybe'? my dad says, a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. but.. what if this is indeed God's will for me, a test of faith? what if despite the world says, God really is speaking to me? and this was further confirmed by a verse janice gave me in greater things conference this year, "As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish,so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is my word that goes out from my mouth. It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it." This is isaiah 55:10-11. sigh, i just need to believe in God harder than ever now. what is His plan for me? i don't know if we can wait much longer for monash but.. sigh. Please God! let all things work out i pray.

"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose."
- Romans 8:28

Blessed be Your name by Matt Redman
Blessed Be Your Name
In the land that is plentiful
Where Your streams of abundance flow
Blessed be Your name

Blessed Be Your name
When I'm found in the desert place
Though I walk through the wilderness
Blessed Be Your name

Every blessing You pour out
I'll turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in, Lord
Still I will say


Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your glorious name

Blessed be Your name
When the sun's shining down on me
When the world's 'all as it should be'
Blessed be Your name

Blessed be Your name
On the road marked with suffering
Though there's pain in the offering
Blessed be Your name


Every blessing You pour out
I'll turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in, Lord
Still I will say

Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your glorious name

You give and take away
You give and take away
My heart will choose to say
Lord, blessed be Your name




discovering inner strength,
candice :)
