::of full-submission::


Alas!! I get to blog abt my life here today ever since I first created this blog 2-weeks ago (cultivating this habit to blog more often, hopefully).


Just learned my lesson today. Just. So, it's brand new and so fresh that I want to tell the world!! I'll begin with why this new post took such a long time to update. I was so caught-up with my work, to a certain level which I can announce: "I'm so stressed!!" I won't go into detail with it, this'll take ages. How true it is that no matter who, be it your parents, siblings, friends, colleagues, bosses, etc tend to let u down in life, only God and God alone won't. Amen?? I'm so glad to know this, though it's not something new that I've never heard about in church, through friends, in cell groups, etc.


Being a working "young adult" (ahem ahem :P) I've learnt, and am still learning, the difference between the adult working world and school. Honestly, I hated it. But, it's a process that I have to go through in life, to grow to become a more mature and responsible person, so does everyone else, yea? It's really testing my patience, which is something I'm lacking.


I got so worried about an on-going case that the very first thing I do every morning when I step out of the flat to work is to pray and ask God to grant me victory over what I'm doing. But, somehow I felt that something's not right, but don't know what. Until today, during my lunch break I prayed again for God to make things work. Then, it dawned on me that all these while my heart has not fully trusted God. Yes I know He can work miracles, but (there's always a big but) I want to feel that I'm "in-charge" and everything is under MY CONTROL!! Utter folly!


I guess you already know what happened after that. Yes, I offered Him back His driver's seat (that's how we say it right?) whereas I, shifted to the passenger seat behind to let him drive the car!!! The result? Things got sorted out smoothly one after another. You might suggest: "maybe it's just coincidence you know," but I can tell you this: IT IS NOT. I know it's Him, I just know. Hence, me blogging about my experience now. Praise my awesome awesome GOD, people!!!


1 John 5: 14-15 goes: This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us - whatever we ask - we know that we have what we asked of him.


I think the one condition attached to fulfilling this is provided we truly submit to God all our concerns, saying: take it ALL, for I'm not able. The result is always the same - He never fails us. Oh yes, never!
