it's been a rather long day considering how little sleep i got last night...but this afternoon, 2 things reminded me anew of God's love.went to visit li yee and baby amber today (who's so beautiful!) and it was a short but meaningful time. well apparently, amber's been crying a whole lot lately, so much so tt she's gotten a sore throat! haha so she's one husky baby. haha anyway, she kept drifting in and out of sleep and she'd cry coz she'd wanna be carried all the time...finally tho, li yee just placed her hand gently but firmly on amber's chest/tummy (yeah, she's only 1.5 mths old so mommy's palm pretty much covered her upper body) and after awhile, amber just quietened down and fell back asleep. and there was such peace and comfort that was evident as amber knew she was safe. her eyes weren't open but she obviously just knew that mommy was there. and i was first amazed at the power of human touch, then it struck me how that's the way it is with God too. We may not see Him or understand what's going on around us, but we can trust His hand and His heart and be quieted by His love despite what goes on. and so as li yee shared Isaiah 40:11 in a slightly different context, when i came back to read it, i realized it sums up perfectly God's love for us: "He will feed his flock like a shepherd. He will carry the lambs in his arms, holding them close to his heart."and i was reminded today too (oh yes, b4 i forget, i marvel at and am thankful for the wonders of technology *smilez*) that though things are heating up, there's a purpose behind it all. heh amazing how short-termed my memory is. just at the start of the week, i felt ready to take on all that was coming at me but just a few days later as i found out the magnitude of things and the multiple things that suddenly crept up on me, i felt oh-so-small again. haha i mean i know i am..just inside u know? yah. oh ok. and i just had to put this up coz i think it's absolutely hilarious. :)
haha get it get it?? ok i'm off to bed.
