Staying faithful is simply to stay hopeful...

There's one time just before Thanksgiving I lost my bag with my wallet. Being here in a foreign country on my own, all alone...all my defenses and coping mechanism were crushed with it. I remembered driving back to the apartment with nothing with me, no cash, no ID, nothing... and I remembered wishing that I can just go home and got out of this country and disappeared.. I want my usual friends & family so much.

But the Holy Spirit and the angels must have held me tight in their arms. Somehow, I was manage to drive 30 minutes while sobbing & wiping my tears away, got home safe and a friend who's not supposed to be there was waiting for me and stayed with me through the night.. and through the devastation I found the courage/strength to stay faithful to God... and staying faithful is simply to stay hopeful... to believe that God is still good despite all.

And true enough, I see God's grace everywhere and in all the people that God has sent to help me. In my unfortunate events, where I was totally weak and at the mercy of others... I saw God's mercy.. And that event was a turning point, after that I had this confident coming out of me day by day and made me stronger and more faithful.. and able to put things in perspective...even the reason why I'm here.....
