I thank God for Doulos!
Doulos came about a year ago(Doulos is the world's largest floating bookshop. Or was, at least. They took the ship apart this year or something). So what did I do? I headed over to the Bargain Corner and bought 80 bucks' worth of CDs. They weren't That expensive. 20 bucks per 4 CDs. Good deal. So I got 16 albums. An assortment. Among the 16 CDs, there's this one album by Freddie Kofi, journey:destination paradise. It's classified in the R&B genre.
I was listening to the album today and there was this one song that jumped out at me. This is a shoutout to all SPM candidates (and the rest of you).
trust in the Lord
and be of good courage
and He shall
strengthen your heart
you don't have to be afraid
of the storm that is passing your way
your life is not over
can you hear what the Father says?
you don't have to worry
just trust He will make a way
keep your eyes on Jesus
all your troubles will fade away
So that song hit me. What did I do? I finished listening to the entire album and pressed the PLAY button again. This entire album, as the title - journey:destination paradise - suggests, is about stuff we go through in life, and my dear friends, especially those reaching crossroads in life, I feel this came at just the right time. Our ultimate destination is to someday be in paradise with Him. For now, we face tests and trials (be they SPM or college and uni apps or whatever else there is) BUT, He will take our overcoming and He will use us as living testimonies for Him. So guys, let's stand tall, roll our shoulders back and look at our challenges right in the eye and trust in the Lord to work things out for the best according to His plans.
"And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to His purpose."
Romans 8:28
People, trust in the Lord!
