Everything is made Beautiful

Sorry for not posting lately. My hostel internet connection was down for a few days. Sigh, the management increases our hostel fees and yet the service provided is like $^%$@........

Anyhow, my college student's Christian Fellowship gathered together to farewell a Nigerian brother who had graduated and was leaving us that time. We went to a cosy Italian restaurant and had a great time. The food was great, despite a bit pricey for students though.

This Nigerian brother is a fun person. Despite coming to study in a distant land, all of us can see that he's really enjoying himself during his time here. He communicated well with everyone around him, a good friend he is. Taught me some Nigerian language from the tribe of 'Emu'(I think i got the spelling right) like Kedo`(How are you?).

After our food, He stood up and shared with us. Apparently, he applied for a student visa to continue his further studies in US, but was rejected due to unreasonable issue. He worked hard over here so that he could continue study there, a hope of his, an ambition of his. All of us felt kinda pity for him, but he felt otherwise.

He forbade us to pity him instead. He said that even he himself does not feel sad about it, and therefore all of us should not pity him. The reason behind this determination? He trusted in the Lord. He trusted all of the Lord's guidance. He shared with us two simple songs, which i forgot which song cause I'm not familiar with those songs(I grew up in a mandrin church background you see). In the end, he said that all things are made beautiful by God with His timing.

I couldn't help but wonder, do we, or do I, really patient in waiting for God's timing, or am I doing my stuff according to my own accord all this while? I wonder, if I were to be in a situation like him, in difficult times, would I wait for His timing, or I'll start complaining and blaming around? Recently, I'm having some problems with people relationships(I'll share them next time), and why did that happen? And how do I response to the problem? Do I really trust 100% in His guidance?

I admire his faith and determination. May God bless him further as he walk His righteous path. Take care my friend.
