悲しいときも、痛いときも、苦しいときも、泣いたときも、悩んでいるときも
嬉しいときも、幸せときも、勝利ときも、笑ったときも、冷静ときも
いつもローマ人への手紙8:28をしんじる。

“私たちは;神を愛し神の計画のうちを歩んているひとのためには、その身に起こることはすべて、神が益としてくださることを知っているのです。”

I realised, that my brain tends to switch amongst the various languages some times, and it goes into the Japanese mode when I feel a lot of emotions. 

This Sunday evening, having stared at LinkedIn data, and before going for my run, I thought I would pen my thoughts, specifically just in knowing that God is still the God of Hope.
It's been 8 months into 2018, 4th trip back to SG, many dinners, gatherings, coffees, meet-ups since I came back, and all sorts of emotions. 
The whole weekend, I felt happy and tired at the same time, blessed and knowing God has been good to me not because of what I have done (right or wrong) but because His blood was shed for me, alive and yet defeated, great warmth and yet anger. 
How can we be made to feel such extreme emotions? Yet, life is worth living because it is rich. 

Time moves on regardless how I feel. And in the busy schedules we all have, many times, it is easy to block out certain emotions and thoughts and not deal with them. 
Yesterday's sermon was so good - Rom 8:28 - Hope. 

End of today, I once again feel thankful.
I really want to do my best, live well, glorify Jesus in all that I do. 
All of my life belongs to Jesus - I pray that I can daily rest in Him, daily grow in Him, daily love Him a little more -19 Aug 2018
