3 firsts

many good things have come to me in threes

recently had new experiences and adventures through doing things that i've not done before
here's three of my firsts

my first solo travel
travelled to a country i've never been to, and found my way to an unfamiliar destination (on my own, with God's guidance n protection)
it was an exhilarating n liberating experience
spent time with children at an orphanage, who quickly became friends and feels like family
can't wait to go again
mom had asked who i was going with n i didn't know how to tell her without her worrying
miraculously, she didn't make a fuss or try to stop me
i knew God is in this
so many wonderful things happened along the journey..
shared testimony and Christ with people i met, prayed for healing and blessings for strangers
handed out 6 bibles to 7 individuals who wanted to know more about God's word

my first sharing with my parents
had a vision of me sitting down with my parents and preaching a sermonette.. using verses from esther, genesis n ephesians
it didn't come out exactly as in the vision, but today, i got to speak to my parents about what i felt was very important for the family and for generations to come. they both sat n listened quietly. i pray God will touch their hearts n let what has been sown take root n flourish and bear fruit..

my first day at work
leaving my comfort zone to pursue what i sense is God's plan for me for now..
beginning a new chapter in my walk with Him and knowing He's the One who will bless me n guide me n provide all i need
He had sent a little girl to give me a farewell hug on my last day at work and on the day before i began work, He sent crew on the airplane to bless me with special gifts.. never been treated so well on a plane before, i was well taken care of and had a really good rest, and got to catch up on sleep (didn't sleep well for 2 consecutive nights..)

thank You Father
i'm beginning to see what Yo mean by "out of the box"
i feel most happy, no exhilarated.. when i'm not in a box
help me to be out of the box n to do everything that blesses Your name and pleasees You.

love You Lord
