is always much looked forward to by me! As my mentor, she always helps me to see clearer. That's just one of the many reasons why i enjoy spending time with her. :)
she is my sounding board. she is my reflector. and it helps so much because God has given her a discerning mind, and God tells her things about people, in this case, its me. and, the things are personal stuff. and she's rite 90% of the time! Amazing rite? it can be so scary to know someone knows what you are going to tell them, before you even start sharing!!! but ya, that has always been the case between ps esther and me. and though its scary.. but it also brings me great comfort to know that another person has been told of what is happening in my life; like there is another person who knows what i know, other than myself and God.
and the fact that she is so direct and honest with me that i know she will give me nothing but the truth. that is also why i trust her.
yest night was another of those times i spent with her to share my worries and burdens, and the issues in my life that are bothering me so much that i needed to talk about them. everytime i needed clarity in whatever i am facing, i would go talk to her.
and bcos God has also given her discernment and knowledge, each time after i share with her, i walk away with a clearer picture. and i'm really thankful for her! and i m grateful to God for putting her in my life! after the talk with her, i am clearer now where i should be heading.. and what i should do and not do. I also get a better idea of what God wants to do in my life; although i still dunno what it is.
like i told ps esther, "i know God is bringing me somewhere but i dunno where."
its is the somewhere that gives me hope and helps me to trust on in God, its the dunno where that makes a journey with God exciting and keeps me in anticipation!
isnt Christian life a time of journeying with God, asking questions and discovering what He has for us?
we may not always see what God has ahead for us, but just be assured that even though we dunno, God knows!
i've learnt that it is not so much the knowing what's ahead that is important to God (so alot of times, God doesnt say who, what, when, where, how!), it is the trust that you have in Him that He values, and wants to teach you. He is more interested in who you become, than what you do.
