Consistency

Luke 9:23. Then he said to them all: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me."


1) Wanting to be His disciple. Its a choice we make!

2) Deny themselves AND take up their cross daily and follow Him.

How important it is to be spiritual athletes who exercise consistently and practice self control over things like diet, time, and habits.

And what is our reward?

Joy.

Give It Up

the riot of emotions, the stormcloud of thoughts, the frenzy of feelings, the ceaseless battle between choices, the  mist of consequences, the chaos of decisions made, the clock that ticks closer and closer.

I lift to You.

V For Velociraptor

Today I drove back from work in a freak storm, and even though work is 5 minutes away, life is scary sometimes.

As I exited into the main road, in front of my blurred windshield the trees were all involved in some serious zumba moves as the rain raced as one horizontal curtain.

When suddenly, I noticed this big brown thing dropping off from the tree in front of me. Slammed on the brakes and thank God, it crashed on the road in front of my car. All I could think of was this, that had it been any other tree but a palm tree it would have meant serious trouble for me.

Although my life did not flash before my eyes, I guess it has made me wonder about Valentine's Day, I wonder if sometimes the message behind this day is garbled, for love should not have to survive on a beggarly meal of occasions and special days and playing it up only on these days (although we need reminders sometimes). Rather, love should be something that is worked on everyday, like a tree or a garden, it requires effort, time, and patience in order to bear fruit.

So here's to living Valentines day, everyday, to the special people around us, because sometimes we dont get to wait till that next official Valentines.

Baby It's Fact

we should all be true, the way black is black, and blue is just blue.

Secrets

On another note,


I think the mysterious is intriguing, and I guess I don't mind not knowing the answers, as long as I know I'll know when the time comes.

Ive got a secret I want to tell you,





Do you know what makes people happy? Happiness.

:D

Jigsaw

Well, I don't quite know where this piece fits.

Will it fill that space? What if its not mine to keep.

All I know, is that if you dont place it against the emptiness,

I guess you'll never know, and the jigsaw will never grow.

But for now, the joy is in holding the piece(peace).
