the same as always..

My phone alarms not working but i have to force train myself to wake up early at 5:30am.. always in a hurry to get prepared, take morning meal, drink milo, and take two rides to office. It has been a daily habit, even my eyes still shuts off while doing it daily.

after logged in to enter school, another task is waiting. Students are waiting to get into their laboratory, phone lines with uninterpretable rings while complainants impatiently waiting to report their computer and internet connection troubles.. and all the while still smiling with a good mode... hours past, still I am grateful doing many things.

The case for now is that anyone who keeps an eye on me might judge my life has been reduced to unending routine of "same as always" but the reality is the time of my sameness is simply one page of in my life story.

Other life pages have ended and this another pages will also end at some point, and rest assured God will turn it as new page beginning a with daily struggles and challenges of its own.

When I think about my different life pages and chapters, encouragement from the bible i take into meditation..

Psalm 31:14-15
14 But as for me, I trust in You, O LORD;
I say, “You are my God.”
15 My times are in Your hand;
Deliver me from the hand of my enemies,
And from those who persecute me.

It's so important for us to remember that our heavenly Father has ordained our days, even our "alwaysness" days for our good and His glory. While we might see them as ordinary, tiresome, miserable or even frustrating , the Lord can make use of our daily circumstances to make us transform into a clear image reflections of Him.

In the midst of our circumstances we might long for change, but we can rest in the One who never changes. Hebrews 13:8 tells us "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever" (NIV). This verse is an encouragement to celebrate each day by persevering and staying the course because Jesus "ever lives, and is ever the same…merciful, powerful, and all-sufficient" (Matthew Henry).

The One who knows us best and loves us most is present to provide everything we need to continue on until He changes our circumstances.

God bless us all!...
