In Christ Alone

In Christ alone
I place my trust
And find my glory
in the power of the cross
In every victory
Let it be said of me
My source of strength
My source of hope
Is Christ alone.

Something just happened to me.I consider myself making a rather big move/step in my life. And this is only the beginning. I told my sister that I'm a Christian. Well, she said Wow! That's good! Really good to hear that. (hmm that's not true) She was a bit shocked. Actually no, she was very very shocked.

I was rather speechless myself. Everything happened so fast. I just blurted it out. *bam* everything came out. It was a rather scary move I would say. Nothing like this would ever be easy. It has always been easy to confess your conversion to your close friends and admit that you're a Christian to a stranger.

But, it was never easy when it comes to your own family. I think I must have gone crazy. After that short conversation with my sister. I was thinking in my mind, "Yee San, have you gone crazy? You haven't even pray about it!" I was questioning myself. I even wanted to slap my own face to see whether I was dreaming. Very well I wasn't. I never thought I would have ended up telling my sister this.

One of the things she said to me was "Converting to another religion is a big thing! Why didn't you tell your parents??" (Sounds like we both comes from different parents =P) I was like.. "I don't know man..." I can only say that... is a long long story. How everything happened. I'll share it in cell.

Well, the reason why I'm even blogging about it right now is that, I really wanted to share how God has helped me throughout this short period of time. After Lindy prayed for me on the phone. I was just trying to calm myself down with all this mix feelings I have in me. Happy, sad, nervous, scared.. and more. This song In Christ Alone, this whole stanza I was just thinking about the song. All of the sudden it just came into my mind.

I feel that God is really telling me to put ALL MY TRUST in Him. And He is the only One who can make things that seems to be impossible to be possible.

-John 15:7 If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be given you.-

I attended prayer meeting last night. As I was praying, I was asking God to help me, and show me a way. I was having some problems. All of the sudden, I just felt like I should read the bible, and as I was flipping through the pages, this verse stands out to me. I feel that God was assuring me of my faith and telling me to Trust in Him no matter what. He would provide my needs.

Perhaps, the incident that happened tonight, it could be one of the situation He has created for me and make it easier for me to even approach my sister(and family). And He is building a foundation for me. God really works in many ways. God is simply amazing. He knows us so well. He knows our need. He knows our troubles. Whatever we're facing, really... We should look up to Him. He will provide.

- Matthew 17: 20 He replied, "Because you have so little faith. I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you." -
