Ah... There was a book I bought last year of this title but I haven't had the time to read it yet. Lent it to my sister though. She felt that though the concept of the book was not bad, the overall effect didn't really live up to her expectation.
Ok, here's it coming. Praise to God that for work and family wise everything has proceeded on smooth, albeit me coming down with a nasty cough on tuesday night. Pray to God I recover soon so no one else gets it.
However with regard to a certain matter, things really went sour. I won't give too much details as I do not want to offend her, but this incident basically resulted in us no longer being friends, not even aquantainces. Of course for me I hope it will never ever result in us being enemies which is why I am writing this now to pray for God to give me wisdom and tact to proceed on further if things get really nasty.
Just a very short reflection of the incident on my part:
I have previously been very very confused about the concept of God answering our prayers and the issue of needs vs. wants, as we all know that famous verse which I will quote later at the end of the blog. Through this incident, I give praise to Him that He has finally revealed it to me very very clearly. In this world, what is a need/want to us is subjective as everyone's value judgements are different, thus no human being is capable of being totally just in appropriate what is a need/want to someone else. Throughout this incident, I have been brash and made errors on my part, of which I have to bear consequences. However, He has guided me through in a damage-control way, by providing me with family and friends who have given me wise counsel and advice as well as healthy moral support. From this I have seen what are the wants He has desired and bestowed me and I really thank Him for them. May you continue to bless them.
Praise be to God. Amen!
