i feel like God's trying to tell me something.
In the past week, i've come across this verse
four times.
"
Ask, and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks the door will be opened." - Matthew 7:7-9
is the message strong enough yet? i don't know if anyone's realized, but this verse is repeated in the bible, both in matthew and in luke. the other times i came across it was in a verse of the week thing that we do at youth, and one of those inspirational bible pictures that i got sent lately.
perhaps i haven't been seeking hard enough and asking prayerfully enough. and maybe that's the reason i've felt so distanced lately. whatever it is, i know that i have finally gotten an answer. awhile ago, feeling weary and disillusioned, i asked with all my heart for God to show me that he was still in my life. as far as asking goes, God did give me an answer. he showed me this verse, not one, or two, but four times.
So close I believe
You're holding me now
In your hands I belong..
You'll never let me go..
moving on, talk of end of the year plans have begun!
it's very hard to plan something because of conflicting schedules within the family. mom's going away in july, and grandparents are coming in january. which means going for a holiday when my grandparents are here is out of the question. dad has to fly for business during the dec-jan period. sis wants to go on another mission trip to china and then to singapore.
i want to go to hongkong. no one else wants to come with me.
we've put ourselves on a waitlist, although it looks like i might end up going to hongkong by myself and staying with my cousin for about a week? and then heading to singapore by myself.
my dad wants to go to shenzhen with the family (nooo nooo more chinaaaa) but mom and i like the look of japan better.
(the female mind is oriented towards shopping, and shopping only.)
if all works out and i successfully use my powers of persuasion, i might very well end up going to japan, hongkong, and then singapore at the end of this year!
yippee!!
