How Do You Cope With Change?


Things in life are always changing... its never constant. Within a short span of time i realised people around me kept changing.. Friends from singlehood to finding a partner, from a broken heart to anticipate in finding someone new in his life.. from someone who is jobless and found a better job. (Remember i blog about a brother who gave up his Issca to God? Within a week or two, he found a much better paying job offer). Im so happy for him, and God really works in a mysterious way. I guess what my close friend say is rite, God will not give u wat you cant handle. I really started to believe when you chose to give your precious to God, He will turn your situation around. God honor him and i really share his joy. God is so good to him :)

Coping with changes... hmm... i guess things are different now, i know people change from time to time. I dont believe everything is forever, even for close friends or kinship. Life is so full of twist and turns... And im starting to believe tat nothing is forever. People come and go. Its just like boarding up a bus... some people came up and stay on the journey for awhile and then leave... for others they slept thru the journey forgetting to alight... haha.. I view life as if alighting and boarding. You will not know who will stay thru out with you until you reached the final destination.

Real friends? Well.. i guess i will not place so much hope on people. They are not God. That is why im living a life of independent. For a moment i thought, why my heart has gone so cold? Where is the gal who used to smile in her storms? Im learning to stand on my own leading a independent life. Im someone who is not comfortable in eating alone in hawker or going out alone... as im always surrounded by people, but i guess this time round i have to stand on my own. Friends will not be with you forever, that is why we needed God. My heart as if have died... nothing to look forward too... but i really tried to believe God will have better plans for me. God help my unbelief.

Just heard that one of my colleague who we look up too is diagnose with cancer. So sad for him
:( i can see his teary eyes when i talk to him, i can see the despair and uncertainity, not knowing what the future holds for him... but all i can do is to pray, pray and pray... Sickness is not meant to be. Its not from God. But when it land on your lap... sigh.

This week, my heart has been so tired emotionally... changes in my work place more responsibilities are taken up, changes here, changes there... changes everywhere. Im someone who doesnt really look forward to changes, i dont really like it as you have to adapt all over again with people and situations. Perhaps the cares of life really suck every bit of from me.

Things are so different now, perhaps its should be this way when people changes. I remember one night i was on msn, talking with a friend, didnt really expect him to talk to me online as i tot that he is always cool and dont really show alot concern for others. Surprisingly he talk to me online and i realise that the world is not so cold after all. As we started our conversation, i realise that he is a deep one... not only that he really cares about me and our common friend too. Throughout the conversation, we didnt really talk much, but i do felt much better, at least someone cares to listen by just being there. He kept directing me to God, and though i know he is also some issues in his heart, he kept moving on. Maybe this is what maturity is all about. Pointing others to God despite of the unsloved issues in his heart :)

After him i talk to a sister online... i was lamenting to her about life.. haha.. all these while im actually having a "msn diarrhoea." Felt that God's timing is always so right on time, just when i thought wanting to retreat and go into my own world, He allowed angels like them to talk to me.

Today, i just thought of wanting to say a thank you to both of them. Im sure God will help us find a way when we seems to go through life in circle.

Hold on to God whoever is tired and weary, hold on to God come what may, hold on to His word and His promises is on the way...
