...Sunshine after the rain...

Just yesterday, i was thinking that i have accomplished nothing much at my age. I just started work and am still trying to find out what i really want to do. Then i recalled, i have friends who are of the same age but they seem to have attain much more. One is a doctor now, another getting hitched soon, one got a masters, another one just bought a sporty car etc... so that was yesterday...

met up with some sisters for bs today, we were praying for other sisters who were going through tough times in life. That session snapped me out of yesterday's tots. Everybody leads a different life and we have no control over that. And as we were praying, i was reminded that God did not promise skies to be blue, flowers to bloom everyday or life to be smooth sailing but He has promised something more precious. And i'm thankful for that. It is also thru the ups and downs do i learn to trust in Jesus and grow in Him. It's not that i'm craving for trials now so that i can experience all that but that i'm once again reminded of the sunshine & rainbow that can be seen after the rain. :)

1Therefore, since we have been justified through faith,

we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,

2through whom we have gained access by faith into this
grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope

of the glory of God. 3Not only so, but we also rejoice in

our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces

perseverance; 4perseverance, character; and character,

hope. 5And hope does not disappoint us, because God

has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit,

whom he has given us. ~ Romans 5:1-5
