The Lord works wonders It's been a really long while since I touched this page. However, recently I remembered of its existence, so why not I start again.

I just want to share with you two miracles that occurred today. The first was this afternoon in my email, I received a scholarship! Praise the Lord, it will cover my university tuition fees for this academic year. Having been awarded the scholarship last year, I was very disheartened to learn that this year even after submitting an application again (as this scholarship is only tenable for a year, so students have to apply again every year), I was not called for an interview. Hence, I was utterly frustrated and upset with myself that for a student going into my sophomore year, I could not get a scholarship to tide over the financial burden of university fees (my parents do not earn much). The Lord truly works wonders when you least expect it, and He always has a path for us.

Second work of wonder from the Lord: I was feeling really down and caught in between my parents' quarrel, I would not delve into full details of what made me so upset (as the person always unconsciously uses harsh language) as I no longer feel the Internet is as safe a space as before when I was a more naive, wide-eyed schoolgirl. Always have been a sucker for romance, I would never put a book down if it were of romance genre, even books/ dramas/ movies I watch have to have an element of romance, otherwise I would feel empty. In spite, as I grow older, I am questioning marriage even more. So what if you loved your significant other at the point of the wedding. In a few years, you would only love your children. I have heard of many stories where husbands and wives just become two strangers living under the shared roof. And my parents' relationship is far from a fairytale. However, I was suddenly inspired to read the catholic.sg website where Archbishop William Goh posts his daily scriptures reflection. It can be found here: https://www.catholic.sg/26-july-2018-thursday-16th-week-ordinary-time/
The gist is many of us become jaded of our lives and we become sick of our relationships, finding them burdensome, including marriage. And I feel as if God is telling me through this, that as we centre our relationships in God, we are no longer in a marriage just for ourselves. Honestly, I do not know how to put it in words, as I am not a very devout Christian. Though I attend church every Sunday, I realised I was stuck in this comfort zone and did not desire to know more about God. I hope throughout the remaining of the year, I can do more reflections from the scriptures and learn more about God too, and how I can apply to daily life and relationships.
