Renewed Mindset
I used to hate the feeling aching muscles. Now I actually like it. Pain will never feel good, but knowing the conseqences (muscle repair causes growth, growth increases strength along with a ton other health benefits) and seeing the results, I actually cheerish it. I feel as if I'm lacking something if my body it's aching. No pain means no chance for repair, and no chance of growth. As an army buddy of mine likes saying: "Pain is weakness leaving your body."
Likewise with the troubles of life. When you feel stretched, when trials test you, when you feel pain - cheerish it, it's a sign of potential growth. Character and spiritual maturity are getting a good workout. Jesus is your spotter, He lets you feel the pain but lifts the weight for you when you can't take anymore.
Constant pain is not a reason to feel crap or depressed.
It is needed for constant growth. Praise be to God.
I said "somehow" bcuz there is js no somehow from God.Lately everything that im getting from God has been clear.
Desert
Thus Time of being set apart
Time of Pruning
Trust - even all we've learnt from everyone we've come in contact with is that they all let us down at some point one way or another
Learning to be faithful - God 1st said He'll heal me of my faithlessness
- now, learning how important it is to be faithful
faithful in believing in God's promises, love , goodness , kindness and soverignty
faithful to my commitments, faithful to people , faithful to the things i say and the thing i say i'll do.
Lately, apart from the pain of having the things i sowed during my youth catching up with me
another pain which is think is good is doing things of the spirit instead of the flesh.
Trying my best to follow the Holy Spirit's promptings instead of ignoring and arguing back lyk i used to. Found out now that i was so foolish and that God really only tells us to do something that is for our best of interest.
Like everyone says, it actually hurts! It feels uncomfortable when we do things which are led by the spirit and out of the norm but its for the best. and the outcome is actually better than choosing to cater to our flesh.
We reap what we sow, never been more evident in my life than ever now..
So i'm just tryin to sow as much good things as i can now.

Dating
So anyways, those of u who are thikning of dating or dating without thinking
Please please please make sure if u're a christian to NOT DATE A NON CHRISTIAN!
PLEASE dont even go there please!
I dont have anything against non christians AT ALL, i just learnt the hard way that bcuz of that huge significant difference in the spiritual realm, it really affects everything.
U're prob thinking come on chill stop being a religious freak it cant b that bad can it? and if he loves me heaps he'll change, come to church
c the light in me, good opportunity to share with him.. etc.
1: Im not a religious freak. Speak to all my xs and old hs friends and u'll know urself.
2:Rare cases they'll be saved, but through all of my personal experiences and seemlingly many others, its not gonna happen. save it.
he loves me heaps he'll change = u love him heaps u wont change?
come to churhc cuz of me =bt if his heart is not genuine and open, trust me makes pretty much no difference. y i say tht? personal experience.
c the light in me= boy oh boy. for one, the fact tht u chose to go out with a non christian means u're going against GOd's will and u compromised, and u'll compromise more cuz u compromised.
and bcuz u compromised u're no longer guarding ur heart and prob mind and prob temple which God dwells - ur body too.
wont be long before u become immune to the promptings of the Holy Spirit then u start doing what everyone does and based right and wrong no longer as much as from the prompting of the HOly SPirit but from ur own conscience. News of the day, even atheist are born with a conscience too. Not that i have anything against them. :D
Yip harsh, bt swallow it down for ur own good. Just dont choose what i chose.
If deep down u experienced God before and accepted Jesus in ur heart, u know deep down u're not very happy, very fulfilled, very joyful, very peaceful and feel really really loved and complete. Please dont choose the road where u have to learn it the hard way like i did.
If u had and its too late, its ok.God is in control and He'll make all things turn out for good. The goods and the bads. But please know, God doesnt sit there and is ready to zap u and torture u if i turn bak to Him this very moment. In fact, He has been there thru it all, and never left u and is still waiting and calling u to come bak to Him with arms wide open, waiting to shower u with his never failing love and kindness. Just run to Him now. Bring along ur shame and guilt sins mistakes fears worries anger baggages too bcuz Hes been waiting to take them all for u and show u that its all been laid and dealt with at the Cross and that in exchange, He'll sprinkle u with HIs blood and wash u and make u as white as snow.
Revelation 21:12 Jesus said " Behold, I make all things new"
If u feel like u've made too many mistakes u're way too broken to be fixed and become new again.. then read that verse again speak it and memorise it.
Jesus didnt say " Behold, i can fix eveything , i can fix u i "
Jesus said " Behold, i make all things new"
He doesnt fix us, He makes us new!! NEW!!
But how?
He's God.
go ask God how if u want. :)
But why?
Because He loves u for who u are with no apparent reason.
Im sure everyone of us have asked this question b4
1) Who is going to love me when they know the real me and all the things i've done?
God does.
2) Ok so God does, but why??? Why would GOd love someone like me this much even thought i've turned away so many times and CHOSE to sin against Him?
No apparent reason. God just loves me and u. and He loves us with an unconditional love too!
Yip! Bask in it and believe. Honestly, i struggle with this too. But as i experience God's unconditional love more and more each day, i'm amazed and humbled at the same thing.
If u ask me what is it that peels those ugly layers of dirt mud black stuff that covers the diamond its God's love.
As we experience God's love more, we lay down more and open up more
God slowly peels away the layers from our hearts, minds emotions
He heals us from even the pains we dont remmebr
He sets us free from bondages
He even promised that if u turn back to Him right now, this very moment,
He'll heal u of ur faithlessness!!
How great is that! I've never heard of healing in faithlessness!
But there it is! in Hosea 2 God's promise is there for u. Go get it!
So , if there is a God who has been faithful to u is and will forever be
who wont ever forsake reject judge criticise torture hurt u and lyk everyone else let u down
why do we need to run to men , women or ppls' opinions and acceptance for the love we crave and need that only God can give?
John 3:16-17
16 “For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. 17 God sent his Son into the world not to judge, reject, to condemn, to pass sentence onthe world, but to save the world through him.

On parents?
OK complicated hard one haha
For one if it werent for my parents i wouldnt be here now.
Just like many people, im aspiring to grow up to be like them and NOT be like them.
Especially in seeing now how how how important it is to build a family on firm foundation.
That who i choose to enter a r/s with and who i choose to marry is going to affect everyone's future and my childrens' children's future and so forth.
Not that they're bad, i just wish they're stronger in their r/s with God and that they dealt with me in a Godly way when they had a choice to and give me Godly counsel.
But again, they're human that's why only God's perfect and the One we shld rely on the most.
I wish they were more open and tell me alot more things instead of trying so hard to shelter me from the world.
Bt o well, again still have to go back to the fact that if it wasnt for them, i really wouldnt be here. and one day mayb i'll tell u all why.
I still love them HEAPS! :D
