What struggle??
What struggle??
I've finally turned in all my papers for this semester, and am officially through in year 2 of theological college life! I guess what I can say for now is that, "I need a good break ... a good breather ... retail therapy ... " and the list can go on and on.
Yet amidst all these "struggles" to cope with time, demands of studies, balancing differents aspects of life, etc - the struggle that I'm going through pales in great great great comparison with what people in China Si Chuan and Myanmar are going through.
Hearing the news in each passing day just adds to the heaviness within the heart - lives being lost due to natural catastrophe, families shocked and traumatized by sudden turn of events that they had never imagine would happen, those who managed to survive living with nightmares and agony of their encounters - some of them even had to live on without some of the limbs because amputation was necessary in order to preserve their life. All these struggles are pain and cries we can never fully understand. While my heart aches on one hand, there is much gratitude to the Lord for a good government and a safe country we all can reside in. All we can do and pray, besides donating money, is to keep the survivals and their families, the victims and their families, the rescue workers, and the government of the different countries in prayer. All we can offer is to commit them into the hands and under the mercy of the loving God, despite all the searching questions pounding deep within our hearts.
