We pray for blessings
We pray for peace
Comfort for family, protection while we sleep
We pray for healing, for prosperity
We pray for Your mighty hand to ease our suffering
All the while, You hear each spoken need
Yet love is way too much to give us lesser things

'Cause what if your blessings come through raindrops
What if Your healing comes through tears
What if a thousand sleepless nights are what it takes to know You're near
What if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise

We pray for wisdom
Your voice to hear
We cry in anger when we cannot feel You near
We doubt your goodness, we doubt your love
As if every promise from Your Word is not enough
All the while, You hear each desperate plea

And long that we'd have faith to believe

When friends betray us
When darkness seems to win
We know that pain reminds this heart
That this is not our home

What if my greatest disappointments
Or the aching of this life
Is the revealing of a greater thirst this world can't satisfy
What if trials of this life
The rain, the storms, the hardest nights
Are your mercies in disguise

Failing terribly as an adult. Help

7 days late. This post was intended to talk about 29 Feb which happens once every 4 years and hence considered special but im a big procrastinator haha.

I drafted this when I was sitting comfortably on a train from Taipei to Taichung. On my annual leave and I chose to go Taiwan despite many food poisonings the previous trips cos the stupid virus has gotten us stranded everywhere but I still badly need a break ):

So many things still cloud my mind though I’m supposed to be enjoying my holidays. Acne scars and terrible dry skin coupled with stress and a lot of unanswered commitments ):

My original post says I have yet to reply Alan G but update!! I spoke to him ytd 3 days ago haha. After conveniently avoiding the topic for over a month? Sorryyyyy. Life got in the way lol.

This trip has been a very good break. I slept through my alarms for many days and I got to explore new places as well. Will post photos up soon!

Anyway the 29 Feb thingy has reminded me of the Leap Years by Wong Lilin. Promises, continuity, accountability.

What would it look like 29 Feb 2024?
Where would I be?
Will I be happy?
