Something to share - There is a Saviour next to you right now.

My reason to smile is because there's a shinning God with me.
To those non believers, well believe now. That there is God.
Believe that He has saved me again again. Although my problems got worst and the plan finally turned out the worst case scenario i expected - that i cant do my subject overseas meaning i have to delay my graduation for another half a year and my plans for Japan have been all disrupted.

But do you see me crying and feeling terrible about my mistakes?
Sure, I do feel that. YES YES i went through it-  Because i am human, it is natural to dwell in the past where you made your mistakes.
But why i said I have been saved is not because my problems are fixed....but because i am able to smile times like this. Although it hurts but the strength and faith to believe that this is all God's will and plan for me. And to trust everything entirely to his Hands is one of the most amazing experience you can have in life.
Even though your plans are all turned upside down, but strangely to feel this calmity and peace in you......
that is the work of God, children!!!

Behold the Christ is right in front of you. So dont push him away dont ignore him anymore.
Although i have little knowledge about God, because i dont go to Sunday School or understand the bible at all, but i have many many valuable experiences with God together....
All the good and the bad always bring me closer to him each time.

For those that are hurting, please leave everything to the God.
You know He knows what's best for you right? Even if you can't see whats good for you>
I believe God will deliver us all, as he will never go back on His words and promises.
Just hang in there, holding to God's hand and all will be fine.

And i thank sincerely to all those that have helped prayed for me. Thank you. 

The Lord replied,
“The years when you have seen only one set of footprints,
my child, is when I carried you.”

TO those of you that are hurting.
Here are some that stuff i read online that i found really meaningful

C) Where is God when we hurt? Where is He when sleep wont come?
* Where is He when we wake in a hospital bed with pain that wont stop?
* Let me tell you ... He’s right here! * v.2 ... v.3 ... v.21 ... v.23 ... “The Lord was with him.”
D) When you hurt, God hurts with you!
* When no one listens to you, God listens to you!
* When you wipe away tears of loneliness, or frustration, or anguish ... In heaven there’s a pierced
hand approaching a heavenly face wiping a tear!
* Sometimes storms of life come to teach us that God is in control, and that we must lean on Him
and learn to be thankful for the richness of His blessings to us!
E) We should serve God even if there is darkness surrounding our life!
* We should serve God even if we don’t understand what’s happening!
* We should serve God even when the circumstances of our life don’t make sense!
* Because He is worthy of praise ... because He is God!
F) One more thing ... Nothing is louder than the silence of our God and Father!
* All I can say is ... We cannot interpret His silence as a lack of love!
* Where is God when everything goes wrong? * HE’S RIGHT HERE WITH US!

When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears and delivers them out of all their troubles. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit. —Psalm 34:17-18
Have you ever felt like nothing in your world was going right? When my kids were growing up, I used to read them one of their favorite books, Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day. You might be familiar with this story about a boy who experiences the absolute worst day of his life. We all have experienced troubles and know the feeling of having a "crushed spirit."
When circumstances are difficult, all too often this affects our attitude towards God and can also inhibit our worship. After all, why should we worship when it seems like life is falling apart at the seams?
The Psalmist gives us three profound reasons why we can worship the LORD even in the midst of the deepest valleys.
We can worship because He hears us. This does not mean He merely hears our cry, but this word implies action. God is so unlike us; when He hears, He acts. And He acts immediately! He does not sit idly by, but intervenes in even the most desperate situation.
We can worship in the midst of trials because we know the Lord promises to deliver us. Keep in mind, this word deliver does not mean that He will remove us from our difficulty. Isn’t it true that at times we cry out to the Lord but it seems as though our situation doesn’t change? Do not mistake unchanging circumstances for God’s lack of deliverance. His promise to deliver us is made evident in the way He sustains believers even through the hardest times.
Finally, when everything goes wrong, we can worship Him because the Lord is close to us. He is not a distant, uninvolved, uninterested God, but a loving Savior whose arms reach out to us in the midst of our brokenness.
Maybe you are in the midst of a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day, month, or even year. Maybe you resonate with the notion that in the midst of a valley, it’s hard to worship. Take some time today to thank God that He hears our cries, He promises to deliver us, and we can rest assured that He remains close to us even in our darkest moments.—Ron Zappia
Father, thank You for being a personal God who is involved in my life. Thank You for hearing my cries. I want to worship You in the midst of this difficult time. Help me to see that Your promise to deliver me from trouble is Your promise to see me through till the end. Thank You for being near to me, especially when I am hurting the most.  In Jesus’ name, Amen.

So what does it mean when we are obeying God, but everything seems to be going wrong? James put it this way, “Dear brothers and sisters, whenever trouble comes your way, let it be an opportunity for joy” (James 1:2 NLT).

Joy? What is he nuts? No, James continues, “For when you faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow, for when your endurance if fully developed, you will be strong in character and ready for anything” (James 1:3-4 NLT). God has initiated a spiritual growth-training program that will not only grow our character or “image of Christ”, and will deepen our understanding of him.

Peter wrote, “These trials are only to test your faith, to show that it is strong and pure. It’s being tested as fire tests and purifies gold, and you faith is more precious to God than mere gold. So if your faith remains strong after being tried by fiery trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day when Jesus Christ is revealed to the whole world.” (1 Peter 1:7 NLT).

When God is molding you and shaping you into the image of Jesus, it will be painful, but the end result is the ability to love the Lord with all your heart, all your soul and all your mind. The proverbs say, “My child, don’t ignore it when the Lord disciplines you, and don’t be discouraged when he corrects you. For the Lord corrects those he loves, just as a father corrects a child in whom he delights” (Proverbs 3:11-12 NLT).

Discipline is the evidence of love, if God did not discipline you, then we could never grow. If God didn’t love you, he would not correct you, but leave you to your own ways. In these trials, the Lord is preparing you for service, which is more than you can imagine. Think of all the great men and women of the Bible, they all suffered through difficult circumstances, but in the end, their sights and hope was set directly on God Almighty, who carried them through and completed their purpose and they arrived safely to their destination.

Here is the full poem for "Footprints in the Sand"

One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord.
Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.
In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand.
Sometimes there were two sets of footprints,
other times there was one only.
This bothered me because I noticed that during the low periods of my life,
when I was suffering from anguish,
sorrow or defeat,
I could see only one set of footprints,
so I said to the Lord,
“You promised me Lord,
that if I followed you,
you would walk with me always.
But I have noticed that during the most trying periods of my life
there has only been one set of footprints in the sand.
Why, when I needed you most, have you not been there for me?”
The Lord replied,
“The years when you have seen only one set of footprints,
my child, is when I carried you.”
