This week has been incredibly overwhelming for me, with a mountain of responsibilities demanding my attention.
Report presentations, activities, projects, and even my teaching demonstration all seem to be competing for my time and energy.
Sleepless nights have become my norm lately, and as this week unfolds, it’s no different.
Though I wish I could find the time to publish my thoughts and stories, life has me pressed for every second.
Over the past few days, I’ve faced countless breakdowns.
These aren’t new to me—they’re almost a weekly occurrence.
Strangely, whether I have problems or not, I sometimes find myself consumed by sudden waves of sadness, without knowing why.
It’s like an uninvited storm that sweeps over me. Each time, it’s a challenge, a battle I have to face alone.
Despite the stress and problems smiling mockingly in front of me, I can’t afford to entertain them.
I’m far too busy to spend time dwelling on negativity, so I choose to laugh at the absurdity of it all and push forward.
Before this night slips away—before my never-ending list of activities claims me once again—I want to share something that truly resonated with me.
It’s a message from a recent sermon by our pastor.
He said, “If God doesn’t answer your prayer, He isn’t ignoring or denying it. Instead, He’s educating us, shaping our hearts so we’ll remain humble when the blessing finally arrives.”
That struck me deeply. It’s so true.
So often, we misunderstand God’s silence, mistaking it for neglect or indifference.
But in reality, He is preparing us, molding us to appreciate His plans fully.
This reminder gave me comfort because I know that God holds my future.
I have no reason to be afraid—I just need to trust Him completely.
His plans for us are always beautiful, even when we can’t yet see the bigger picture.
As I reflect on this, I feel immense gratitude.
Out of billions of people on this Earth, He chose me to know Him, to experience His love and grace.
It’s a blessing beyond words.
I can’t help but wonder, 'What would my life be like if I hadn’t known Him? Where would I be right now?'
Everything I have and everything I am today is because of Him.
His blessings have sustained me, guided me, and given me hope.
Knowing God is the greatest gift of my life, and it’s a gift I’ll treasure forever.
For that, no amount of stress or challenges can steal my gratitude.
God’s faithfulness is my strength, and His plans are my assurance.
