2010 is Such a Great Year!

This is a 'Happy New Year' bookmark I got from church last year, early January. I had been praying for a particular thing, I hoped He would answer me before I went back to Jakarta for Christmas.

-flying home today-

I hoped He would answer me in Jakarta

-holiday's over-

I remember returning to Singapore with a disappointment and a question in mind, why hasn't God answered my prayer? A friend of mind kept encouraging me not to give up - keep praying, keep pushing. I did, but I had started worrying - quando? quando? quando?

I thought my hope was gone.

On my first Sunday in Singapore, we were told to pick a bookmark from a bowl, they came with different verses, one for everybody. And the verse we got, is the verse of guidance for the whole year 2009.

I couldn't wait to see what's 'my' verse.. :

"Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for the righteousness, for they shall be filled."
Matthew 5 : 6

Wow. I was stunned. It's for me. I knew it's Him, it's His voice. I looked up and smiled back at Him. His words boosted up my spirit, I was ready to fight again - I believed I was close.

And that's right, I was close :)

The very next week, He answered me, I got what I'd been asking for.

God listens. I have witnessed His unexpected and miraculous ways of answering prayers, . 

And this year, 2010, year of healing and abundance, I have one new thing to ask in prayer. 

I believe His answer is around the corner :)
