The year 2007 would be etched in our memory for the way God lead us & showed us that He is good always - We could see His guidance, healing power and providence in each of our lives. Kingsley and I were not happy in our workplaces & we looked to God to turn things around for us. We held on to His promises & started to pray. We knew it was a matter of time before he would lead us through green pastures.
He is a God who directs our path, that's what His word says. When Kingsley resigned his job in Bahrain, he did not have a job in hand. He knew for sure that God would not let him down. Yes ! you may think we were foolish to leave a job without another one in hand. In fact, we said the same thing when one of our close friends gave up a very good position in their workplace because they were not feeling at peace with it. I think God speaks in a very personal way to people by the situations they go through. That is how He spoke to both of us. We were filled with so much peace when Kingsley gave His resignation. We continued to pray for God to open a way for us. We also wanted 2 months break before we settle in a new place. We desired 2 places specifically, and God opened a door in Pondicherry, one of the places we desired and that too after exactly 2 months. Well, all we could say was "God's timings are so perfect" & we could only thank Him for the way He has lead us . God not only directs our paths but also gives what our heart desires and that's what His Word confirms. God also confirmed to us that He is our provider. He gave Kingsley a major break in his job at a very good firm .He is certainly enjoying his work.
God is a miracle working God .As the psalmist said "Though I may walk in the shadow of death,". That is what happened to me a few months back when I underwent a laparoscopy in my fallopian tubes. The doctors said that they found an old ectopic pregnancy in my right tube. The surgeon claimed it was a miracle since it could have been fatal or could have damaged the tube permanently but for the protecting hands of the Lord. God helped me to see the miracle amidst the miscarriage. Only after a few weeks of my scopy,i realised it was actually an abortion & I had lost a baby. But amidst all this, God gave the grace to see that He used me as a vessel to show forth His Glory.
We thank God for all His blessings through out this past year. And now we know that even though we go through hard times, He is still in control of our lives & the things that impact our lives. We are sure that, when the year 2008 comes to a close, we would have plenty more to tell of His Goodness.
