A Self Reminder

"Hoping 2016 would be a rather surprising year :)"

This was a tweet from 23rd of January that I pinned to personally remind myself to be prepared for what 2016 has in store of me. I'm not going to lie but I was pretty bummed out by the start of 2016 and I instantly thought that 2016 was going to be a terrible one. It's July now and I can safely say that the year is finally starting to get a little better for me. Everything is slowly coming together and I can only thank God for that. Seriously, if it weren't for my "Big Guy" up there, I'll probably be torn into pieces right now. I recently received my results two days ago and I am still in total shock with it. To be completely honest, they were far from my expectations. While preparing for finals, I was very doubtful of myself because I somehow had a strong feeling inside me that I wasn't able to maintain my scholarship. Judging by my chaotic preparation, I knew I had absolutely no chance of keeping it and I was sort of prepared to face the music on the 11th of July.

But, God told me otherwise. He told me to let go and let Him be in control of my situation. And I did exactly that. I've been pretty busy with a lot on my plate and dealing with so much emotions lately... You know the feeling when you're just so overwhelmed by everything that is happening around you and you have zero idea of what to do?? Yeap, that was exactly how I felt these past few months. By the grace of God, I managed to survive and I am still in one piece! I'm just very thankful for all that He has been doing in my life. He certainly blessed me with richly with friends that I can go to whenever I felt like a mess and that's something that I hold closely to my heart.

I really don't know where am I going with this post but I think I just want to remind you that if you're going through a rough situation, it's okay to bawl your eyes out and be a total emotional wreck about it. It's okay to cry for days, weeks, or even months. I've been there and done that. But, let me tell you something, you can't stay like this forever. It's not healthy and you need a solution. Personally, God is my solution and I've learnt that it is so important to turn to Him first, and not man. Man are sinful and they do disappoint sometimes. But God on the other hand doesn't. He satisfies us, He alone is enough for us and we shall not want more. Jesus died for our sins and what more can we do but to glorify His name. God's unconditional love is the greatest gift of all and I'm so glad that I'm loved by my almighty Father.

Love,
Char.
