The thrill of soaring always comes with the fear of falling. I guess if we want to do anything great in life we would have to do it afraid.
"Dear friends, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal that has come on you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you."(1Peter4:12)
"Grace is the power of the Holy Spirit coming to us free of charge to enable us to do with ease what we could never do on owr own." -Joyce Meyer on the definition of 'grace'
Sometimes people pride themselves for some of the flaws they have simply because it makes them them. Creativity is not stubborn originality. It's the ablility to create value, in this case, the ability to change to get your problems solved. Ego says nothing needs improvement (especially 'I'). Don't be deceived.
People are losing a sense of knowing what they want in life. They want what other people want. They want what they think they should want. No no no, what do you really want?!
I'm really grateful for the people who has been a blessing to me all these while.
Little gestures like treating me Texas Chicken! Woohoo :)
Life is a series of experiences. Ups and downs and ups and downs and.. Therefore it should be exciting!
God has been a great Teacher. It's all about learning how to count it all joy in every situation. Because of lack I experienced Him as my Provider. Because of disorder and strife i experienced Him as truly my Peace. Because of struggles i experienced Him as my Banner.
I have not arrived (if not i'd be dead) but i think i can say for now Philippians 4:11-13 .
There's so much more to experience, greater things have yet to come. Let's go!
I would be lying if i told you i've been "delivered" since we first smiled at each other (acting like nothing happened).
Im not as impressively strong as a real man of faith should be. It took me awhile but then i've refused to be a victim of guilt sometime back already. I decided to learn something from it. I learn that shit really does happen. Sometimes people disappoint you, sometimes you are their disappointment. Good intentions are not enough in this broken down, imperfect world. There's always somthing to learn or room for improvement as long as we're here. I've gained a bigger heart especially towards people who're seriously disappointed about their lives and im glad to have made a difference in their lives as much as it did mine. Afterall we dont need a bigger heart for people we love. To have a bigger heart is more than sth we could command out of sheer choice. It requires us to go through some stuff first. Dont despise your adversities. There's power in disappointed hope (as long as you're still alive). Yep, as long as you're still here, there's hope for others. As long as you're still alive, God can use you!
O yes one more thing i've learnt: Disappointed individuals are generally one of the easiest to please.
The impact of their mere presence The mentioning of their names The sound of their voices The life they deliver through their words They enlarge me God bless them :)
