if possible, optimism in midst of despair.

On a lighter note, midyears are over.
Good day. CC meeting & dinner (missed you Chlo & Boss @ dinner) today. Thanks Ms Ho for dinner and the ride! Great time of catching up, laughing and discussing. Thank y'all, we must have this more often. Becks' laughter's so contagious, mm. :) I've learnt so much from this lovely bunch of 9, and seeing each and everyone grow in the past one year. Proud of all of you!
Things to do: 1 clear up the mess (or mass) of notes and books all over the room and dining table 2 pb stuff. I'm tired 3 file 4 revision schedule from next week onwards and 5, I want to watch Xmen. Or just any other movie... Priya, remember our deal!
6 oh, sleep and sleep and sleep.
Grief, coming in waves. When I'm finally out of one, the next comes. Although less, but still enough to make me reflect on life. Life... Oh why God. Why, why, why. Why do we have so many questions; why are there so many mysteries? God...I will believe. Believe in your time. Why are so many people leaving us of late? Why are so many people ill? Why are they people I know, some I love, some who've been blessing so many others and others who have been earnestly seeking you, willingly serving you, wholeheartedly worshipping you...? Life here's so fragile.
I know that through your prayers and the help given by the
Spirit of Jesus Christ, what has happened to me will turn out for
my deliverance.
-- Philippians 1:19
Paul is possibly facing death. Yet he knows that his life, his
future, is securely in the Lord's hands. The Holy Spirit will help
empower him to be what he needs to be in the face of persecution
and hardship. The Spirit will also work for his deliverance; either
he will be delivered from prison and death to serve others, or he
will be delivered into the presence of the Lord he loves. Either
way, he awaits and expects deliverance!
O LORD, God Almighty, please give me the courage to never waiver in my confidence in your deliverance. In addition, dear Father, I have several beloved friends who are fighting for their lives with physical problems. Please bless them with your deliverance, whether it is your healing that restores their health or your grace that insures their future is with you and your triumphant Son, Jesus, in whose name I pray. Amen.

On some days, things just don't go your way? Suffocating...perhaps.
Everything on my mind's just jumbled up. Drained. It's becoming too much for me to handle.
But if I will look for strength, I will receive.
Letting God be just as He's always been and will always be
