My God works in amazing ways

Dear diary,

Know I haven't written for a while but I must share about how God has worked in amazing ways in people's lives.

My fiancé is retrenched since Dec as the company he is working is heavily affected by the Europe debt crisis, his boss and him and half of his department has been retrenched. Praise God for though income is uncertain... He has got to the final round of interview with an established & credible company. No job in sight yet with this very stretched period of waiting. Yet.. Praise God for his provisions as we have enough to get by. :)

His ex-boss have found a job too. He was initially quite lost but a sermon in church gave him faith in our Mighty God, with the story of Peter walking on water.

The apostles were in a boat in the middle of a heavy storm, their teacher/spiritual leader was not with them. Worried and fearing for their lives, the storm tossed and swept the boat from side to side. In the middle of the night, they saw a figure in a distance and it looks like.. Jesus. "Can this be Him?", they thought. Jesus was walking on water! No one was quite certain if it is a ghost or the teacher himself but Peter called out excitedly and amazed, he asked Jesus if he can walk on water too. Yes you can, come to me. And Peter, with his eyes fixed on Jesus, stepped out of the boat and put his feet in the water. He started walking on water! "This can't be real", some probably might have thought. "But it is! It is a miracle!"

After a while Peter took his eyes away from Jesus and started looking at the water around him, he is really walking on water! With a storm that had just passed, surely this can't be true that he can indeed walk on water?? Peter panicked and then he started sinking. He flailed his arms around and shouted for help, "Teacher, please save me! Jesus, help me!". As he looked upon the Lord again, he felt an arm pulling him up of the sinking scary depths. It's Jesus, our savior.

Encouraged by this story, his ex-boss found faith in God again. He know that even if his situation is uncertain and he is out of his comfort zone, God will help us when we fix our eyes on Jesus and depend not on our own human understanding. :)

Soon after, a client of his who had always admired his work hired him immediately after hearing that he has lost his job. And there again, God has truly provided!

Isn't our God amazing? He works in wonderful and mysterious ways that we do not know! Put your faith in Jesus.

Love,
Principessa
