I once was leading a class discussion forum for university with two classmates. Among the “formal” questions we had posted and had our classmates discuss about, I posted a question that said something like, “What Makes Me Smile”. People were welcome to share about what made them smile during their week in their internship in schools.
I once was talking with a friend about the importance of remembering what God had done in our lives so we would trust Him for our present circumstances and not depend on ourselves and keep worrying. My friend thought I could use this as a topic for my blog sometime (or at least, that’s what I understood). So here it is.
This page is literally in “loving memory” of the things God has done for me. Small and great. Daily stuff. Things I must remember so I rest in God and do not lose heart . If you wish to add your own “God’s Winks”, please leave a comment, it would be delighting.
