Eurotrip (Italy and Germany) Part 1 and realizations
Sorry
for the short hiatus. I was abroad for quite some time and I truly
cherished every bit of it. My feet ached from all the walking in
Germany and Italy but, hey, I ain’t complaining. ^_^
In
one of my idle times, I was reminded that the world is bigger than
the fishbowl I have in my mind. I thought I already have grandiose
dreams – that I am already living those dreams but then I knew that
there are more terrains to explore and new dreams to pursue. I have
been telling myself all over again, I came back a different person. I
no longer patronize the fishbowl mentality. Rather, I look forward to
going to more places and doing more things in the future. I could
possibly be living in a different country in the future!
In
my quiet time, God spoke to me and told me this:
The
LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still.“
Exodus 14:14
Lying
on my bed at 11 p.m. on that cold Autumn night in Germany, I poured
out my heart to God and told him about a persistent concern, an
unfair situation that has been happening to me for over a year. I
asked him why my friends and I should suffer; why we are being pushed
out of our dreams. In the middle of my prayer, I felt peace in my
heart as I was led into that scripture. I heard a small voice telling
me how I confined myself in a dream so small but God has bigger
things in store for me.
That
message jolted me into a different reality. Indeed, I confined myself
into one dream when there are other territories to conquer.
Today, I am no longer afraid of the people who are tormenting me and my friends. I already heard the answer from God and I trust Him.
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
