Please Make me Smile?

It was one of those hard days when I feel the challenges of my entire life (work, family, ministry, finances, etc) are being leveraged by the enemy to dry up my joy and hope. I know that God has given me the capacity to trust and believe him, and I did, that day. It's just that these all can be draining both emotionally and physically. I'm talking about the emotion of not reaching my quota, not being able to support my family to my heart's content, not meeting my Victory Group regularly, not being financially stable by now even as I have planned to be years ago, and other things that could pile up on a lady's spaghetti brain.

So Feb 26, 2014 morning, I sighed to God saying, "Please make me smile," knowing that He has all the power to do something to really make me so. But I didn't expect He would answer in such a grand way as possible. That same day, I received the notice from my boss that she will send me to Vietnam for a conference/training! You can read about my Saigon experience here! How would that not make me smile when the shout of my heart is to really travel??? And this one is a breakthrough because it's my first time to land another country! :) And when I thought that is it, an SMS from the 10 Days missions coordinator hit my phone saying that I'm "chosen" to be a part of the 10 Days Missions team to go to Medan, Indonesia on September! :)

Could not contain the emotions, had to share it to my friends!

Those two news meant to me so much more than receiving flowers or chocolates or even seeing a rainbow as a surprise! I recall how special God made me feel that day, and I can still reduce to tears when I'm reminded how much He loves me and how He can give me anything if only I will ASK :)

So what you waiting for? Ask and wait on the Lord! No one can ever meet your longings more than He does. <3
