hello...
i know i said i was planning to like type out my next theory.. but that will have to wait for a while i guess... im kinda too tired to think through all that for now... but i thought i'd blog about something i heard in today's sermon in church.. at one point.. pastor thomas said that waiting is the hardest thing to do.. mayb i should expand on that.. waiting when u have alot of things u want to do.. BUT are limited by circumstances is really the hardest.. mayb u will only know this if u experience it la.. its like u can go from day to day.. jus thinking about how things could be different if u did not have to wait.. u can think about how much better things will be...how happy u will be.. how much fun u will be having.. but the problem is... humans have this tendency to envision the future in a positive manner.. this is because they envision it as the way they want it to be.. their ideal future.. but as we all know.. reality nvr turns out that way...there are always the ups and downs...so what should we do then... we cannot take any action because of the circumstances... and even if we lament our situation and start thinking about how we want things to turn out...we have no guarantee that it will turn out the way we want it to.... and the sad thing is... the problem doesnt end here... when we are forced to wait.. there is ample opportunity for change.. ok i should elaborate on this.. before we are forced to wait..we would have been in a certain situation.. with certain circumstances..and ppl with certain opinions or attitudes.. so then u are forced to wait.. and limited by the new circumstances.. this waiting period could cause the situation that u were in to change.. on top of the new circumstances.. ppl's opinions and attitudes can change..and of cos if it changes in a way that is not favourable to you... den u have more to lose.. so as u can see.. alot alot of things can go wrong.. and that wad makes the waiting even worse... u can spend everyday jus reflecting and thinking about the various scenarios that could take place.. its sick i tell you...
but of cos its not all bad la.. that like the secular view of things.. there is the more spiritual view as well.. and that is the fact that u might realise that u are waiting on God... ur supposed to put god into the equation.. God has his reasons to make u wait..and although He ay not reveal them to us.. u can be sure that it is for your own good.. God knows whats best for us.. and if he sees it fit that we should wait.. months or years.. den thats whats best for us. Pastor thomas said this today... wait on God until he commands u to take action.. this doesnt just apply to the infilling of the holy spirit im sure.. even in day to day life.. and in making certain key decisions in your life.. its impt to pray.. commit things to God.. and jus wait on him... on our own..we are jus going to make mistakes.. we will screw things up.. but if we are obedient to God..and wait for His commands..we will be directed in His path for us.. and things will turn out for the best.. ive experienced it before..and i know that i will experience it again..so.. even though this waiting makes me sick..i know its impt...God has a reason..u jus got to trust Him..and eventually u will see the fruits..
ok if u are not a christian u probably wont understand the above paragraph..but u probably already read it.. so oh well..lolz..sorry if its preachy..but its how things work...yup.. patience is a virtue..persevere and things will get bttr... look to God for security..not man.. cos man will always fail you.. but God will never...
how will i know your voice.. when u havent said a word
