Randomness

Wow, it is March already. I was reminded by a friend yesterday that ¼ of this year is almost over. Time sure flies!!!

Recently I have been noticing some interesting things in my life.

After posting my New Year resolutions, I discovered that it GOT really hard to keep up with my goal of going to church on time on Sundays. I cannot believe I have failed couple times already. Yes, I won’t even bother to give excuses. Sigh. I am so disappointed BUT I will try again this Sunday. Hehe. :)

One of my BSF small group’s prayer requests is to do homework daily and apply the lessons from Romans in our daily lives. I am just amazed at how often I am applying what I just learned in my daily life and instantly too!

Few weeks ago, I had this prompting to pray for a dear friend. So I prayed and I emailed her verses which I like from my study for no particular reason (or so I thought). It turned out she was going through a difficult time without me knowing. My prayers and verses (Rom 8:28 & Rom 8:38-39) encouraged her just at the right time. Isn’t God amazing?

Last week, I had a good salvation and baptism discussion with my precious junior high girls. I was using Rom 10:9 as the main point of my discussion with them. The interesting thing was I just did my BSF homework regarding salvation like few days prior to my youth group discussion. I was just in awe of God’s timing!

I have been challenging my youth girls in sharing the gospel with friends. Funny how whenever I challenge the kids, I get to do it too! Just yesterday I had a good phone conversation with a close friend. Originally we were just catching up but beyond my own understanding, God provided a divine appointment. In my conversation with this close friend, I ended up sharing about God, sin, Jesus and the good stuff I learned from my study on Romans. I have known this friend for YEARS and could never really share before, God just blown me away!

The more I interact with my youth girls, I realize I should have a Dear Phoebe column. Yes, just a forum to share with each of them what I have learned in my life journey this far. (haha, okay me dreaming on!) :) But seriously though, the more I hear and advice my dear girls, I find myself becoming more and more like my own mom! Without much thought, just like my mom, I use bible verses to encourage the kids, constantly remind them to have a close walk with God and to honor Him in everything we do. Now, I even pray for my kids on a regular basis. What is the point of me saying all this? I am just so thankful to God and so blessed by Him, to have such a good godly mom and woman, as my model!

Okay that’s enough randomness for now. I wonder what is coming next! Life is good because God is good! :)
