raindrops...

To you, O Lord I called;
to the Lord I cried for mercy:
"What gain is there in my destruction, in my going down into the pit?
Will the dust praise you?
Will it proclaim your faithfulness?
Hear O Lord and be merciful to me;
O Lord, be my help."
You turned my wailing into dancing;
you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy,
that my heart may sing to you and not be silent.
O Lord my God, i will give thanks to you forever.

Psalm 30:8-12

from here, i saw David's love for God, i saw his faith.
despite in distress, he trusts God and sings to him..
He pours his sorrows to God, emptying all his grief..
indeed, God is his friend, his confidant.

As i see these few days pass...
the gloomy skies..
the pitter patter of the raindrops, the gusts of winds that blow..
all is chilly and cold..
it seems that my vicinity is filled with only scarce streams of people...
few are out.. most running to nearby shopping ctrs not to shop but for shelter.
the weather immediately allowed me, to reflect upon my feelings, how i truly feel..
it allowed me to think upon my innermost thoughts and feelings.
especially when i am alone, i think even more..
my moods are dampened indeed.
but then, i think of my Father..
i think abt what David wrote..
"But i trust in you O God; i say, " You are my God."
My times are in your hands;
deliever me from my enemies
and from those who pursue me.
Let your face shine on your servant(David);
save me in your unfailing love."

Gosh when i read that, i was impacted by David's faith and love for God.
so how can i be here, bothering abt my dampened spirits when God will always pick me up and shower my with his love?

Well, for i know, God is love..

Its so interesting doing the psalms for my quiet time.. cos it reallie enlightens me abt hving faith and standing in awe of God.

alright, oh well, i just cant wait for today to cum and it is here.. FRIDAY! yipee im going to church and its the most encouraging thing that would happen.. =)
just reallie pray tt all would come.

ta! =D
