Do you believe that God exist?

The answers may be yes, no, sometimes, maybe…

I am a Christian and I do believe in God, but many times throughout my walk with Him so far, I find that I sidetrack, loose focus on His words, loose faith and become weak.

Many times…I questioned myself, how the word of God (Bible) can teach or reveal anything to me?

So, for stubborn nut like me, something has to happen in order for me to see and experience His Truth.
(Suddenly, I can hear the famous TV show tagline "You asked for it!")

God becomes more and more real to me after I got pregnant. Through my pregnancy ordeal, this verse came so real and hit me:

To the woman he said, "I will greatly increase your pains in childbearing; with pain you will give birth to children. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you." Genesis 3:16

See!! God said it already! Just that I did not give enough thoughts to the verse above when I read it earlier. For me, there are 3 big "Yes" that I can mark on the verse above:

1. Yes, pregnancy is difficult and not a bed of roses like what I thought earlier - greatly increase your pains in childbearing
2. Yes, labour is painful and that is why so many women cannot seem to stop thinking/talking/fearing about it. There are lots of articles about the whole process too - with pain you will give birth to children
3. Yes, we love/desire our hubby enough to go thru the above, therefore hubby rules! - Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you

Haih…Dear God! Eventhou the above verse is scary, but thank you for telling me again. Should read your Word more diligently laa…sigh…u really know me!

Okay, okay! by the way…it is not all scary verses like the above that God told me alone. He also told me not to give up because He will walk beside me and will not leave me alone

The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged." Deuteronomy 31:8
