It's been awhile

Wow. Exactly 4 years since my last post, I decide to blog. I didn't even plan that. Something made me come back and look at my old posts this past week and I was reminded of how pensive I used to be. Where did that pensive side of me go?

So much has happened since 4 years ago. I graduated nursing school and worked for 2.5 years with a nursing agency in Markham. I met and married my best friend and the love of my life. I moved to Southern California with him 7 months ago. I am now jobless and wondering what my purpose is here.

So much has happened... In the span of 6 months we got into 2 car accidents. One in Toronto, one in Claremont. Both times hit by a Korean person. Both times hit on the same place on the car. Both times we weren't hurt, thank God. Both times God turned a bad situation into great blessings.

We read Romans 8 today and discovered so many awesome truths. So great how going back to the Word can be so encouraging and uplifting.

For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us.   Romans 8:18 NASB

It does seem like we are suffering right now. No job. Each time I hope for something it doesn't come through. We've hit so many roadblocks. But I always remember that things could be worse. God is still providing for us, giving us hope each day no matter how down I get. It's this hope I am clinging onto now. Even if that day of glory never comes, the Hope from God is enough to sustain me for the rest of my life. 

For in hope we have been saved, but hope that is seen is not hope; for who hopes for what he already sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, with perseverance we wait eagerly for it.  Romans 8:24-25 NASB
