another day...

another bombing.

woke to find out about the bombing in the UK. Msged my friend there and he's fine, which is a great relief.

so sad though that while millions continue their lives as per normal while hundreds suffer from the scars of witnessing something like this for the first time.

it's been years since the bombs of WWII rained havoc in the 'developed' countries of the world. We've become so used to a normal life free from such chaos and violence that surely these punctuations would help us to appreciate our lives all the more?

and yet, do we have to wait for a tragedy to occur before we finally open our eyes and seek some deeper meaning to this life we live?

Being a christian doesn't mean that i'll have a peaceful and successful life. Neither does it guarantee me a life without pain and suffering. But what i do have is the peace of knowing that God is there with me throughout all this and that He's already planned my steps before i take them.

already in these past 6 months alone, i've encountered so many things that cannot just be mere coincidence. I'm so overjoyed that God has been so gracious to me.

Now as i ponder the UK leg of my europe trip, i do know that if it is His will for me to go there, i will go there. And if He has a greater plan for me along the way, i hope i'm ready for it. :)
