Give Thanks


It is amazing that how God wants me to learn how to give thanks to Him in this particularly difficult week.

When I accepted Annie's Thanksgiving Challenge, I thought it would not be a hard thing to do. The next day I was hit by bouts of headache and fever. It was not too bad, but it wrecked my whole mood, and my whole ability to study, which is quite crucial now as I still couldn't get my Design Project simulation running.

Today the fever subsided but the natural phenomenon that happens once a month to ladies (before a certain age), deterred my ability to stand for long hours and made me very uncomfortable throughout today's career fair. Thankfully I more or less managed to note all the booths I wanted to see.

Yet I won't say this week is at rock-bottom stage because many, many nice things happened; and people were really understanding about my physical state and kept asking me to rest more. Jon did all he could to make me get better. Tirza has been urging me to sleep more (I slept A LOT yesterday + today!) The dinner Andrew cooked was beyond awesome too. And the 3 in 1 birthday celebration was worth staying up for :)

I know in the future there are most certainly worse days than this, but the more things turn downhill, the more we must learn to give thanks. Because if this is what God has mapped out, it can be nothing else but the best.
