God's plans are forever the best.

someone told me this 'the good hinders you from the best.'

our plans sometimes seem better than God's from our perspective, but take a step back and look at the whole situation through God's lenses and acknowledge that He will take care of everything. If God has brought you TO it, He will bring you THROUGH it.

i'll share a testimony. simple but more than enough.

i joined both cheerleading and girls brigade in sec 1. im tingyan by the way. haha. u should know by now. chose cheer by choice, gb by chance. just happened to try out gb, did not consider it at all, but by chance. or rather, God's will and plan(:... so as the months passed, got busier and busier and couldnt cope that well. i had to give up one. God told me to quit cheer. but i loved cheer a lot and it was basically the interesting part of my life as i thought at the point of time. (u can read old posts of my blog, i was really in love with it.) so anyway, i told myself, nvm its okay. i always obey God, now nvm lah. i choose my way. just dont fall into sin and dont get swayed by the ways of others then im safe. so u know what? i quit gb instead.

i knew that something just wasnt right the whole six months this year without gb. i sorta just knew i wasnt where God has placed me. but i mean i just left it at the back of my mind and just sorta ignored it. but that night, when i was chatting with a gb friend, something just stirred very strongly within me. i just knew for sure that i had to go back to gb. at that point, only God's will mattered and like as i looked back, cheer didnt seem as appealing as it did before anymore and i realised the priorities of my life had changed, from a worldly one in the past, to God-centered one now. i realised that the things of the world were temporary, but things of God hold much more meaning... at that point, i told God, if its ur will for me to quit i will quit what i love for Your plan. but i was afraid cos i knew the process of asking for permission would be quite tedious n may get like insulted n stuff.. and also if i quit cheer now, i would lose all the cca points i worked so hard for. so i sat down n prayed n talked to God about this during tawg that night. n u know, so many verses i read applied so aptly to what i was feeling n god led me to see from His perspective what i couldnt see. it was like He was telling me, 'tingyan, don't be afraid. im here beside you. if i have asked you to go, go. i will take care of you.' i knew i had to quit, and i was willing to lose the points, but i didnt know when i had to quit.

i talked to a teacher and she told me, now. cos if not now, why would God speak to me about it now? so the next day, i went to find all the teachers in charge to get permission and all that. surprisingly, it wasnt hard! for gb teacher, i know her quite well and she really welcomed me back and patted my on the arm and said 'of course we welcome you back!' and she also told me how i was gonna catch up with the rest soon and like some things she wanted and knew i could accomplish. i was quite happy about it. then next was cheer teacher in charge. i didnt know how to call her, but guess what? God sent someone to help me. cheer captain helped to me call. CAPTAIN OKAY! she wasnt against the whole idea of me quitting and really supported me cos she also knew if its God's calling, then go. cheer teacher said she couldnt stop me and she also warned me about the points..(: had to speak to one more teacher. the cca head of department. so today i spoke to the teacher and he wasnt really willing to let me quit cheer cos its mid year. then my friend suggested that i join both now but quit cheer end of year, so i asked him if can. then he allowed! and guess what??

now i get the best of both worlds. i get to keep the cca points, yet still follow God's will! its amazing how God works and place so many angels around right! n really, its not about telling God how big ur mountains are, but telling your mountains how big God is. Clarice typed this before too!(: so ya.. know that God's plans are forever the best. if God says go, really, just go. He has everything all planned out already. all u need is a little courage and God. :D

Just wanna let everyone know that whatever your circumstances are, God understands. ur friends might not understand, or even ur parents might not understand, but always remember, God knows what you are going through. (:

love u all,
