Learning to Trust God… Like a Guinea Pig?


 Have you ever owned a guinea pig? Or even just watched one closely? I used to have one.

    Guinea pigs are adorable little creatures, but they’re also quite nervous by nature. When you first bring one home, it runs away, hides in corners, and won’t come near you. It doesn’t trust you—not yet.

But as days go by, you keep feeding it. You speak gently. You hold it with care. Slowly, it starts to recognize you. Then one day, it does something amazing—it lets you hold it without fear.

That’s trust.

 What This Teaches Us About God

    Our relationship with God often begins with fear or hesitation.
We keep our distance. We hide behind busy routines, doubts, or past wounds. We don’t understand what He’s doing. Sometimes we even wonder, “Is it safe to trust Him?”

But He keeps showing up. 

He feeds our soul with grace.

He speaks gently through His Word.

He reaches out—not to control us, but to draw us near.

And slowly, if we let Him, our hearts begin to open.

        We may not understand everything His hands are doing, but we can learn to trust His heart.

Based on Proverbs 3:5 — "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding."

           You don’t have to understand everything to trust Him.  You just need to come close. God is patient with your process. He’s not in a rush. He’s waiting for the moment when you’ll stop running and finally rest in His hands.

The Pain That Heals: A Journey of Recovery and Restoration

Image
—  Jeremiah 30:17 (NIV) But I will restore you to health and heal your wounds,’ declares the Lord."           In 2023, I had an experience I never expected: I fractured my right big toe. I’m truly thankful that it wasn’t too serious, but it was still enough to teach me some deep and meaningful lessons.           During the healing process, I still felt pain, swelling, and inflammation. In fact, there were times when the pain felt even worse than when the injury first happened. I started to worry, “Is it getting worse?” But after learning more, I found out that what I was feeling was actually normal. It’s part of the healing process when the bones are reconnecting and the body is doing its job. That gave me peace of mind.           And then it hit me: maybe this doesn’t just apply to physical injuries. Maybe it’s the same when we’re healing from something emotional, mental, or even spiritual. ...

Lessons From Tough Time

          Many things are happening currently, but I am so grateful for all the experiences that have come my way recently. I will share a little bit at a time and share the valuable lessons I've learned that I can pass on to all of you. 😊      Two months ago, I faced a very interesting event where one of our students had to be sent home from the school. I can't go into detail, but what I want to share is how I was able to get through that very sad event. So, when we decided to send the student home, I felt very sad and it was a really difficult decision. In fact, even until today, I still regret that he had to leave. I tried several times to fight for this student to stay, but in the end, he still had to go. I hugged him and cried with a heavy heart as I let him go.      💕      The lesson I learned is that Jesus continuously strives to fight for me so that I may accept the salvation He has freely given an...
