TGIF!

TGIF is a short form that is getting quite popular- it says, “Thank God It’s Friday”. People use it to mean that it the weekends is coming. But for me, I really thank God for today- Friday and all that He placed for me today even though the week has not been an ultra good week.

So here are my thanksgiving!

1) Doctor’s Appointment
I went to the hospital’s Sports Medicine Centre early in the morning for my very first appointment. And I dunno if this is funny- but Thank God for a very handsome, sensitive, gentle and patient doctor! And because the doctor is so perfect and make me drool in admiration for him, I decided to be faithful in my upcoming appointments.
But that’s besides the point, the point is: He identified the REASON FOR MY BACK INJURY! Finally, there is a resolution after so many references. And I thank God for that! So, all that is left now is for treatment to work.

2) Class Prayer Group
I shared a lot during prayer group, including my unforgiveness towards Wong Su Yee. Initially, I was hesitant on sharing, because I am afraid I would be put down, just like the comments in my blog. They put me down for being mad at her. Yes, I expected those comments, because they probably don’t see my point of view.
Much to my amazement, when I shared, the rest of my classmates shared their similar experiences on the topic of unforgiveness. And I felt, ‘HEH! I wasn’t alone in this!’
Most importantly, Amanda told me, in order to forgive her, I must WANT TO forgive her. Not as in immediately go to her and say, ‘Hey, I am sorry that I got mad at you’. But to WANT TO forgive her, and ask God for it.
As for now, I am 50-50 on wanting to forgive her. Because a large part of me do not want to lose face. Because taking the first time, means giving in, means admitting defeat.
Nonetheless, I was shared this image:
God died on the cross for me.
Wow. That was ultimate forgiveness. How could I ever throw that out of the picture?
Thank God for these people in my lives to remind me of the larger things, and not dwell on and act wrongly on my negative emotions!

3) I attended this talk by Professor/ Pastor Carson with Tim, Siti, Evelyn, Karan. And it was SO IMPACTFUL. Go wikipedia that guy’s name. I will share from the following posts onwards, some impactful stuff that I have learnt and I want to apply!
(HEH CHLOE! You can read it from my subsequent posts )
And I stand with arms high and hearts abandon, in awe of the one who gave it all.

4) Thank God for placing multiple events in my life in one day. I used to hate it when I have multiple outings/ events that clashes on the same day/ same timing, and I do not know what to choose. But it is going to happen again tomorrow. Two birthday parties, service, clubbing, studying to be completed, suntanning session. I am lost, really. I really need to practise discretion and wisdom as to, which should I forsake, which should I go. I am definitely crossing out on clubbing. The rest, I am lost. Oh God. I know I will find a perfect way out soon.

5) Thank God for Ami. Gosh. This is what I typed in a very incoherent email to him recently:
“Did I do wrong for being mad at her?
I know not forgiving is bad, is sinful
But I know being mad is an emotion that is not wrong, but what I did subsequently is a wrong action

I do not know.”
That was 1: 42AM.

And he replied, just at the right timing, when I sorted out my thoughts and repented. And reading through his reply, it further confirmed, yes, I know what I should do.

And then, I fondly remember, how I emailed him desperately about my navel piercing once too.

Thank God for placing Ami in my life!

5 Thanks Giving for today.
