How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them! If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.
Psalms 139:17-18Our family made a great discovery today. We found my late grandpa's diary. If you don't know my grandpa yet, let me introduce him to you. He's a man I've grown to respect. Jack of all trades, my grandpa built some terrace houses in S'pore, collected antiques as a hobby, could draw portraits and cook really well. I miss him ever since he passed on 5 years ago when I was 12.
Grandpa is a very detailed man. I held his diary with such anticipation because there was so much more I always wanted to know about him but never got the chance to. As I read his one line diary entries like "Gave up smoking - 15 - 09 - 1980", it was interesting to see the names in his dairy. He even took note of the date my sis entered uni - 10 - 08 - 03. So I was curious to see if my name would be found in my grandpa's diary. And I found it once! "Betty blessed with a daughter - Melody. 10.30am -24 - 05 - 92" (: I was so happy to find my name there.
Then I was thinking about it. My name was only mentioned in my grandpa's diary once, but it's comforting to know that God's thoughts toward me and about me are countless like the sand on the shore. I am precious to God and He's thinking about me and has the best in mind for my life; I can trust Him.
Yes Lord, I'll trust You, with my life. I'll wait.
