Growing Up in the Lord.
We can't depend on someone to hold our hand and make difficult times go away.
We have to "grow up" and take responsibility for our lives.
We have to decided we won't be the victims of our circumstances
because God has given us a way out.
We are not to stand in our own power.
We must stand strong in Him.
-Stormie Omaritian
Reading this book "Lord, I want to be whole" is so refreshing. It just unveil my eyes more and more, to the areas I used to be ignorant in, and ran away from. This book accompanied be through this two weeks. Not long enough to forget, but long enough to once and for all say NO to emotions - getting out, and standing firm.
I enjoy exam period - it allows me to return home earlier and enjoy my house, alone. So I spent quite a fair amount of time talking to Shuping, and suddenly I realized that I miss the times we often fight Behind The Scenes. And it's such a pity that our duties doesn't clash. ): but it's alright Shuping, I'll unveil your mischivious side soon! -evil laughters- xD
While talking to another friend, I was brought back to how blessed I am to have so many friends I'm able to share to - may it be in church, school or outside. Undeserved, yet blessed with. Perhaps this is Grace. Many a times when I'm down, they were the ones that picked me up, and provided me with whatever I need, just to see me through. Really, I'm thankful to each and everyone. :D I've this friend who have less than 5 close friends. And out of 5, he still talks to 3. But be assured, friend, that I'll be there when you're down. (: God didn't create us to be alone, so, step out of your boundary! And you'll find more friend.
Sometimes we just have to go one big round to learn the thing. But it's alright. Unless we take that route, we'll never fully grasp the value behind it.
Something I take delight in now is that I share better relationship with my devotees! I've my butterfly and my bear to accompany me in school! :D Ah yes, I'm the queen bee. We three, lives in the island of Happy House! xD
"Let the weak say, 'I am strong,'"
This does not mean you say,
"I think I can" or "Maybe I'll try."
You say, "This is it. I will stand firm in the Lord.
I will stand strong against the enemy.
I will not cry, complain, and lament over what isn't.
I will rejoice over what is and all that God is doing."
This means standing strong in what you know and in whom you trust.
