Day 250 The Victory of Grace

Unbelievable and yet true! 250 days blogging and still going. The good news about the MA is still around me, but I am not able to obtain information about where to pick up the work itself. The official 6 weeks have already passed and after that the university is not liable any more to store it by law. The Registry said I should contact the course leader, but I can’t get hold of her. After all I have a digital copy, so that should do for my own record. It is better not to get worked up about the loss. I met a wonderful person today, whom I haven’t seen since last July. I was honoured and greatly humbled by our coffee together. I have seen the most amazing victory of grace in her eyes whilst she told me how she had to relearn reading and speaking and writing since we last met. I was so wrapped up in my own roller coaster ride with the medication, finances and Mission Year battles that I had no idea that she has been going through all that. I asked about the shining joy in her eyes and she simply said with her re-developing speech even though that happened, she knew God was faithful. She had known Him since she was a little child. ‘Why would He change now? He is faithful and that is all I need to know.’ It humbled me to hear this fundamental truth because I remembered how many times I was angry with God and thought He left me, when things got tough. But slowly just very recently I started to realise that He is faithful and I should always, always be thankful for that. Not only when things are going really well, but when they don’t go at all. No matter how high we fall, he is always there to catch us.
