Praise Jesus!!

I have been falling sick recently due to the hateful haze and was buried in the mountian of deadlines the past week. I was feeling a little grouchy and discouraged because I could not do what I wanted to do- shopping, meeting up with my friends for a chat... Like all my time is tied behind this Powerbook, typing away reports and presentations, replying countless emails. Sometimes I feel like just running away and give myself a break.

But I realised that I need not run away.

Because God gives me the peace in the midst of my trials, and goes before me to defeat all my enemies. I never really claim it for myself. *silly me.. only know how to encourage others but not myself! that is so wrong!!*

Will I still praise thee in the midst of my weakness, my trials?

Wow.. thats hard. It calls for serious faith.. Haha.. actually not.. it is either serious faith or serious desperation. I remembered during my A levels, things were so tough-- I have no choice.. NO choice (not that i have faith!) but to praise the LORD. because the bible says so. because GOD says so. Out of desperation i just praise the Lord for the mess I am in, and told God that it is his problem now. haha.. smart move (Jocelyn; 1, Satan:0). I dunno how things evolved but the Lord just took care of all my problems. All HE told me was: "I will use these trials that you go thru for my glory."

Isnt God great? Not only will he solve all my problems but also used what I have gone through for his glory? WOW.... *I love JESUS!!*

So my dear brothers and sisters,
whenever you feeel discouraged or burderned... PRAISE THE LORD! a wonderful solution to monday,tuesday, wednesday, thursday, friday saturaday, sunday blues..... and smile! Because my Jesus is taking pictures of you to put in his blog!!

"Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. " James 1:2-3
