The Lord has brought me thus far, and though my life seems quite ordinary, I believe one thing God has shaped me more through these past years is how to think. As we learned in ET2 (apologetics), we are to love the Lord not just with all our hearts, but also with all of our mind.
I am so glad that through struggles, He has given me a mind to understand His ways and softened my heart. People come and go in our lives, we go in and out of people's lives. I very much disliked that at first. Sometimes I still whine about that. We seek to love and be loved. Yet through this the Lord has revealed more of His faithfulness. Although people do come and go, God remains. We still are able to love and be loved, but this is from God and not from people. God uses different people at different times to reveal Himself. Who is greater?

i'll never forsake you
These simple lyrics, someone says, "'packages' so well promises that the Lord has for us in His Word".
O soul, are you weary from wave upon wave
Of grief and affliction whom no man can save?
Has sickness surrounded, or unending night?
Uncertainty stolen your joy and your might?
O doubting, o fearful– remember His care,
The helpless and hopeless need never despair
For from your afflictions His glory shall spring–
The deeper your sorrow, the louder you’ll sing!
Remember your Father– His promise, His love:
Chorus:
“I’ll never forsake you, this pain will not break you,
For I will remake you for unending joy;
My promise is faithful though now it is painful;
No power can trample my covenant love.”
Remember your Savior– His grief and His pain,
The lonely affliction, unmerited shame.
Though you had betrayed Him, He died in your place;
The joy set before Him He offers by grace.
Remember your Father– His promise, His love:
