God does speak!

Think i had a not quite nice encounter last night. Discouraged and upset...
And i decided to pray and commit to God's hand. Tell Him how do i felt because He is the only one who know me even before i was born. :)

Still, woke up and the first thing cross my mind..."you really sure by sleeping, you can get over it?"

This morning reading Numbers 17 told me to give thanks to God and appreciate what He has done and bless me with, rather than complaining. And i looked up to my resolutions 2008 to give thanks to how far He has brought me. I thank Him for the promotion He has blessed me with, the multiple trips to customer site that i had made, able to know my US big boss personally and share the same interest in diving.. :)

mmm.. And here i am , reading the Daily Bread... WOW....................... He really speaks!!!

Strings, Rings, Troublesome Things
Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up. —James 4:10

Ray Bethell is a world champion kite flyer. He can make multiple kites twist and turn in such precision that they behave as if they are one. As I watched an amazing video of Ray and his three synchronized kites, I recalled a poem I had read many years ago.
In the library of Pastor Howard Sugden, I came across a well-worn book containing the works of John Newton. Inside was a poem titled “The Kite; or Pride Must Have a Fall.” The kite in Newton’s poem dreamed of being cut free from its string: “Were I but free, I’d take a flight, / And pierce the clouds beyond their sight, / But, ah! Like a poor pris’ner bound, / My string confines me near the ground.” The kite does finally manage to tug itself free, but instead of soaring higher in the sky, it crashes into the sea.
The analogy calls me to reconsider some “strings” that make me feel constrained. Vows. Promises. Commitments. Responsibilities. Although such things make me feel tied down, God uses them to hold me up. As James teaches, it is our willingness to be humbled (or held down) that God uses to lift us up (James 4:10).
Before cutting any string, make sure it’s not one that’s holding you up. — Julie Ackerman Link
Though I am His sheep, I’m still prone to stray,
So Jesus in love sends afflictions my way;
The lessons that come in this school of deep pain
Will teach me to follow my Lord once again! —Bosch
