Turning Point

Since last June, I was having the roughest time of my life. I lost my wallet with all my important documents such as ID, Driving license, some money & my ATM cards. On top of that, my GF's mum just passed away, and I have a horrible fight with my colleague, and plus my mentally sick brother is coming to visit and I have to take care of him. To sum it up......Life is stink like hell! I hate June!
I never felt so depress with all the terrible twist and knots strangling me, it was a real hard time.
I asked God, what's the purpose of all these sufferings in my life?
Why me?
Why the troubles always approach me in one go, and leaving me breathless? (I really can't breathe! )

Some old man said," In life, no pain no gain! We all learn from our struggles and sufferings, there is no easy way or short cut!"

Well, it was true! As I am looking it back now, I can really see the pain and the gain.

I've been writing story and articles for ten years, and I never really did sent my stuff to the editor, because I don't think I've got what it takes.
One day, it was in that same month June, after all the bitter experiences, I got a phone call from the Bridge Christian Publisher in KL. The editor told me that, my articles will be published in a local Chinese newspaper. You can tell how excited I was when I first heard the news, and having that approval from editor. It was this bittersweet experience, makes me wanna come back to God once more, and allow Him to mold, to fill, to use, so that in the end, I am ready to serve Him more!

If right now, you felt like nothing is right with your life? Don't give up, hang in there, because our good God knows what He is doing, and be completely honest, only in sufferings that we felt God is ever so near to us! Praise God for that insight!

Hi Felix
Sounds like a lot of people have had a tough June/July - for us - July, July, what were you thinking July? But now August - oh, the first few days of August, you were no fun either. And now, suddenly, Spring has started - flowers are opening, and the birds are singing again.

There's a season for everything it seems. I understand the pain when our careful plans go astray - sometimes we have to learn some new things, including sometimes change isn't all bad, even if it's painful at the time.

Take care
Lynsey
