WOW

WOW that is all I can say about God's amazing faithfulness as I find actual words don't do Him justice. He has been so good to me. It amazes me how much He cares about me and look out for me and respond to me. As I was reminded yesterday when I watched my brother's video on faith "He is a Rewarder of those who diligently seek Him" Heb 11:6. It is who He is. He cannot deny Himself. if we are unfaithful He will remain faithful. I feel that we(myself included) forget too often who He is and base our faith on what we hope He is and not on truly knowing who He is. He is the Restorer of the Broken, the Father to the Fatherless, the Saviour of the lost, the Healer of the sick. He is close to the broken-hearted. He is not easily angered. He does not hold our sins against us. His love is unfailing and it endures forever. He is our Refuge, our very present help in times of trouble. I know people always say we mustn't preach the prosperity Gospel but the truth is this Gospel is more than that. its good news. He will provide for His children, not like a gambling machine but like the most perfect Father you could not even imagine.

I have been so amazed at God's sensitivity to me and to my heart and His Father heart towards me. I have been quite worries about things but kept on saying "God knows what he is doing" He knows what we need before we ask(which is not an excuse not to ask). He knows whats best for us. He knows how much we can handle. All He wants is for us to hand it over to Him, to give my the reigns and make Him our refuge.

So a small part of this is to say, last night me and 2 friends prayed for my visa for Bahrain to come through and this morning when I woke up there was an e-mail in my inbox to say it has arrived and I am on my way to Bahrain. I am not sure what awaits me there BUT God knows and He knows what He is doing!!!

The first photo is my dad pretending to sleep in my Lazy Susan. The second photo is literally my first sip of juice after a month. One thing that I hated the most during my time in ICU was having the ventilator down my throat to help me breathe. This was for several reasons. Firstly, with the ventilator in I could not talk so anything I communicate took a lot of strength which I did not have. Secondly, I could not drink or eat anything and felt thirsty constantly; yet when I dreamt of eating anything(which was often), I would wake up feeling very nauseous . This and nightmares made me scared of sleeping even though it was what I did most of the time. Thirdly, the nurses had to suction me a few times a day to remove all the flem from the tube and my lungs. This was especially horrible after they discovered the sepsis, because my abdomen had to be kept upon as they had to clean my abdomen every other day and could obviously not cut me open every other day and close me up again.

Jesus' character in us

The following I wrote 3 months ago but just remembered it again when I saw someone say to a friend "don't...because its sin". How hectic to put such law on people. The more I read the Bible, especially the New Testament, the more I wonder where all the denominations came up with all the rules that MUST be followed in order to be Holy?!? I read that “For when I tried to keep the law, it condemned me”(Gal 2:19) So where do we come up with, “You must not do this, you must pray everyday, you must, you mustn't”??? “You have died with Christ, and HE has set you free from the spiritual powers of this world. So why do you keep on following the rules of this world, such as 'Don't handle! Don't taste! Don't touch!'? Such Rules are mere human teachings about things that deteriorate as we use them. These rules may seem wise because they require strong devotion, pious self denial, and severe bodily discipline. But they provide no help in conquering a person

*"Winter" wonderland time*

So It seems thanksgiving is this Thursday which means its time to get the Christmas tree up. Now I don't actually celebrate thanksgiving but I use to LoVe it when our American friends would invite us over to celebrate their tradition. Sometimes we would have 2 thanksgivings, one in October and another in November celebrating with Canadians and Americans respectively.  Even our Bahraini neighbours are celebrating thanksgiving! But tomorrow is just another holiday for me since exams are over! So back to the Christmas tree. It feels like AGES ago that we have set up a Christmas tree in our house. I can't actually remember the last time, as I know we skipped a year or two. My family have never been big on all the decorations and presents that come with Christmas(only good times with family and friends) although I use to try and bring the Christmas cheer and encourage participation. I eventually gave up, until this year when my mom and I went shopping and thought we must invest in
