it's not over yet.

2009 is said to be the acceptable year of God;

where salvation and the free favours of God profusely abound.

It's the start of November already;

and praise God,

I know that He is moving and bringing the victory for me.

and the year is NOT over yet.

January till September dragggggggged on its heels and when trouble and challenges kept coming at me, I'd think about this year's promise and wonder if I would be able to see God move in my life for 2009;

as powerfully and faithfully as He did in 2008 (the manifested blessings of the Lord).

And when I started to wonder if the promised word will see itself to be true --

I remember and declare that the year is not over yet.

I believe He has;

and will continue;

to bring His free favours and salvation into my life and those around me because the year's not over yet.

already, there's s o m u c h to praise God for.

firstly, I've finally been granted my TR (temporary residency visa). It was supposed to only granted around April next year, but a few weeks back, i received notice that I'm already a temporary resident! One big hurdle's down for my stay here in Australia and its an assurance of my open door to stay in Australia.

secondly, Daryl's grandma received Christ just a few days back. Totally praise God!!! I believe for even more salvations to come and for the entire family to be in the family of God eventually.

thirdly, i see God moving in my life and i know as I stand still and be not afraid, i see the salvation of God {exodus14:13, 2chronicles 20:17}. Being here is not without challenges, certain heartbreak and frustration - but its knowing that God's on my side and He's the one working things out that assures me. If God is for me, who can be against me? He's the source of wisdom, He's the source of peace, He's the source of my provision. All i do is stand still and watch in awe at what He's doing. And if His word says that 'all things work for good to those who love Him', it simply means that it will all things will straighten itself out for good.

i believe.

and 'cos the year's not over yet.
