Nice Landlady..

27th February 2011

391st Day in Melbourne

Rainy

I really thank God that i am staying with such a nice landlady...2 days back she made some 韭菜糕 specially for me as she said i have not tried it before and today, she cooked some fish porridge for me for lunch...Gosh, i really feel like i'm back home where my mum cooks for me...Initially i was worried if i will be able to get along with Auntie, but now, things seems fine so far..Guess the only thing is that i have to respect that this is her house after all and i can't do as i please.

Went for mass today and was really captivated by the gospel today (Mt 6:24-34)

"That is why i am telling you not to worry about your life and what you are to eat, nor about your body and how you are to clothe it. Surely life means more than food, and the body more than clothing!...Your heavenly Father knows you need them all. Set your hearts on his kingdom first, and on his righteousness, and all these other things will be given to you as well. So do not worry about tomorrow; tomorrow will take care of itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."

I felt like God's speaking to me through this mass...I am always worried about material things, like petrol, food, money, clothes...etc and i seem to have neglected God in the process. Even as i pray to him every night, thanking Him for the day, i never failed to add in my wish list too...God knows what i need, that i believe, so i should just leave everything into his Hands for i know He will be there for me! But, i'm always asking him for favors, which as i'm reflecting now, shows my inadequate faith in Him..

Sorry God! I have absolute faith in You. It's just that when troubles seem to much for me to handle, i get lost in it and completely forgot that You are and also will be looking down at me and watching out for me. I think for this year, this will be my resolution. Never waver in my faith in God!
