struck down but not destroyed;

(Job 1:20-22)²⁰ At this, Job got up and tore his robe and shaved his head. Then he fell to the ground in worship ²¹ and said:

“Naked I came from my mother’s womb,
and naked I will depart.
The LORD gave and the LORD has taken away;
may the name of the LORD be praised.”

²² In all this, Job did not sin by charging God with wrongdoing.

this was said after Job had all his possessions and family being taken from him. i am just awestruck by his still heart of faith in God.

thank you God and all you friends who have been there either from faraway or nearby to listen or just be by my side. if i did not reply you, it is not because i hate you but its plainly cause i dont know what to say or how to explain my situation.

when i look at the situation from afar, i do thank God for revealing things at a time where i have support and strong enough to face it. indeed, God is wise and he is neither late nor early. i hate people to guess what exactly happened cause nothing will change the situation. so i plead with you to pray for me and my family. that is a something you can do, my beloved friends.

aside from that my favourite month of the year is here! and it is coming to the end of the year! this year is definitely a dramatic year for me. not sure how it has been for you guys but i hope this year has made you stronger in your walk with the Lord as it has for me. many truths had unvealed to me, most of them were sad and ugly, however, im just glad i went through it with God and people who loved me enough to walk this year with me.

ohmigosh, its as if the year is ending tomorrow so i shouldnt write sucha post now. towards something exciting thats happening, IT IS MY BIRTHDAY ON 11 DECEMBER! waha! will be celebrating for the first and last time with the SIM ministry (cause its my last year already!). So to people who want to buy me a present, i love you! and again to prevent sadness in my heart, these will be the items i would need/love it very much.
