I was watching Goong again.. and i thought more about how "CaiJing" actually made the decision to marry the prince.. it is rationale? or is it forced? will there be a better way of solving her family's financial crisis?

I mean, off course in the show if she doesn't agree to marry the prince, then there won't be a show in the first place. but come to think about it.. isn't it the same for some people? it's only when they're totally crushed or in a totally hopeless situation, that they decided to follow or get back to God.

Let me clear this up first.. there is never a hopeless situation, there is only people who have grown hopeless about them. What appears as an unsolvable problem to us is actually a rather exhilarating challenge.. this is taken from the book "wisdom for the way" by Charles R. Swindoll..

In any case.. what is in the minds of those who turned back to God then? did they hope that God will lift them up from their difficulties immediately? i admit i myself fall into this catergory too.. i wanted God to just zap all the problems that i face all away.. but ultimately, i came to a realisation that God won't zap them all away.. He'll never spoon feed us.. He'll guide me, it's only whether i want to follow His way, or my way... whether i truly trust Him in faith, believing that God is in control... or because of all my uncertainy that i choose to go my way, because it's more realistic...

God works in unexpected ways... remember that..
