Traveling and God’s grace

I love traveling. It is my ultimate stress-reliever.

Every year, I look forward to traveling to a place I’ve never been to. It gives me a bigger view of the world. It drowns my worries because I am reminded of how vast God’s creation is and that nothing is permanent except change and God’s grace.

This year, I have opted to postpone my traveling schedules because my sister entered medical school. As a dutiful older sister, I help finance her expenses and I am pinning my hopes on her to become a compassionate and intelligent doctor someday.

One night, I silently told God that I am sad not having any travel plans this year but I am surrendering it all to Him.

In that prayer, I cast all my cares upon Him and I never gave it a thought anymore. I went on with my life just as happily.

But God is so good and He never runs out of good surprises.

He gave me free travels soon after that prayer. In one of those travels, I was able to turn an old friendship stronger and in the second one, I saw how intricate human relationships are and the tremendous amount of grace He has given me to understand it. God gave me the protection that I needed in one of the most confusing situations I’ve ever been to. He made me see how strong and mature I have become over the years but I also felt His instructions on what I should do next.

”Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.” 1 Peter 5:7
