Well I guess the title says it all. I've come to my senses and I'm ready to stand up again ;) Its of no doubt thanks to all my friends and leaders and that cg mtg where I felt the presence of God once again.
As bro D spoke about David and how he was known as a man after God's heart, indeed its sth I know and have heard about before. But what struck me was when he started talking about how David went thru a lot, how so many times he almost lost his life and there were many times he too wanted to give up. But because his heart belonged to God, he just had to keep on keeping on. And ultimately he became King of Israel even though he started out as a mere shepherd boy. But really, if not for his strong foundation as a youth, I wonder if his faith could still be so strong.
Just as how a young person is rebellious by nature and tends to stay away from home, hanging out w frens, but when the time comes, after a while he will still go back home. Because home is always the safest place, in the comfort of the bed. HAA. But really, its so true even for myself. Both in my natural home and my spiritual home.
In fact, I was quite surprised that I wanted to go for cg on sat especially since i already went for the "official" one on thurs.haha which was quite bad becos i was feeling so rebellious. Or even my ability to encourage another person to go for cg even wen i dun feel like it. But i guess somehow I just couldnt not go. Its become my home. The place where I will always want to go back to ---the house of God.
Ps 23
"And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever."
Although I am disappointed right now, but I cant imagine my life without God and his presence. No, I never want to walk outside his umbrella. He has changed my life. And I cant walk out on him after all that he has done for me. After seeing how real he is in my life.
I have not thot out my plan yet, or what I'm going to do for the rest of 2007, but at least i'll start snapping out of my depression mode. And the joy of the Lord shall be my strength ;)

I'm so so proud of you Jamie. =) You are such a strong woman. Glad to know that you are gonna be fine. Hang in there! Daddy will come with His answers soon. :)
Really glad that God spoke to you. It's so true that sometimes we want to rebel and run away, but yet home is really where the heart is. There will always be a natural inclination and drawing to go home, to the place where Daddy God resides. We're always around and glad that the 'pink smiley kacang putih' and the 'D-ness' gave you a helping hand! ;)
