It is still easy for me to fall in a hopeless mood. A small setback or unexpected events could make me feel that life is so difficult forgetting the bright side of it. The truth that I remember is that even when I see and think of no hope, there is actually a secure hope in God.
When I feel hopeless, it is because I am projecting things in a linear way, as in if now is bad, tomorrow will also be bad. Maybe I think not just linear but a state of no change. In reality, things keep change, and I need to learn to be flexible in adapting it. I hate change but these past week there are frequent changes in my schedule that reminds me how unrealistic it is to plan for a day without expecting any sudden change.
Back to the topic, last Wednesday I ate at ABC Brickworks food center. I just finished buying take aways for my colleagues who couldn’t join for lunch and walked back to my table. Once I was seated, there was a lady approaching me speaking in Chinese. Thank God that my colleagues were still there and helped me translate. It turns out that my wallet fell from my pocket somewhere in between the stall and the table. I quickly went back and found it.
It is God’s reminder that kindness still exists. I am really thankful to that unknown lady for telling me even though we are not related in any way. She could just walked off as anyway it seems that she only saw from a distance and not close to the point where I dropped my wallet. The interesting thing was it happened when I was quite stressed.
After I re-commit myself for a long journey of change last Thursday, things are better but the ups and downs are still there. It requires a commitment to stay through and faith to believe that God’s words are true.
