For his unfailing love never ends...

This week has been a difficult week. Last Sunday, I fell from the bus and as a result sprained my ankle very badly. In fact, the pain must have been so great that I woke up a number of times! The next morning was worst. I literally struggled to class. Walking down the stairs have never been so torturous and painful. For once, I wished I stayed on the ground floor. I nearly gave up going to lectures but due to some commitments I made earlier last week, it was essential for me to be present.

After my work, I decided to give my local GP practice a call. Unfortunately, they were fully booked and hence could not see me. Following that, I dragged myself to the local NHS walk-in centre near the Piccadily train station but got absolutely frustrated because they refused to see me without proof of my original student visa. Reason being: not a permanent resident and never been to a walk-in clinic before.

Even in those frustrating circumstances, God has been so gracious. He has watched over me and heard my cry. I praise the Lord for the friends I have, every single one of them for their support, encouragement and care. As a result of my immobility, I spent a lot more time at home. I have enjoyed the precious moments reading His word, dwelling in His presense and praising Him in my room. His joy and peace were so great and His assurance and promises were so comforting in the midst of my struggles.

And I really thank the LORD for the great friends I have, every single one of them. For Melissa, for believing and having so much faith that my ankle will heal. For her care and concern. Her love and compasssion has never failed to touch my heart. For her faithful texts everyday, how's your ankle today? I have never found a friend like her; so true, so faithful and so loyal. And I can only thank the Lord for our friendship.

For Janice, for her encouragement, her prayer and her visits. Her love and her effort of specially taking the bus and bringing her super Kui Fah Yau all the way from Whitworth Park. I am extremely grateful for her thoughts of even coming over to pick me up by bus on Saturday for bible study. Thank you dear Janice for just being who you are!

For Jennie, for giving me her chinese ointment and Yoko Yoko. Truly appreciated your calls and for just being there for me. Remember that you are a wonderful child of God, created perfectly for His purpose.

For Feedo, for giving me his bandages when I needed them most. For offering me your painkillers when you saw me in such pain.

For Chris, for his advice and for going into city just to help me get the ankle support.

For my coursemates, for being so understanding and kind even during those times.

Thank you dear friends for everything! Words can never truly sufficiently express how grateful I am to you all. But above all, I give God all the glory for His great and supernatural healing.

"The unfailing love of the LORD never ends! By his mercies, we have been kept form complete destruction. Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each day. I say to myself.'the LORD is my inheritance; therefore I will hope in him!' The Lord is wonderfully good to those who wait for him and seek him."
Lamentations 3:22-25
