sometimes, adults should just STOP thinking they are always the right ones, and listen to their younger counterparts and STOP spouting shit that giving a honest helpful comment is to be rebellious.
is it pride?
or is it refusal to admit, or do they always think their younger counterparts are ALWAYS the inexperienced, rebellious, complainers, or don't know anything about life?

knowledge vs. application
i've just came to find out something. a missing link on an issue i've been thinking about.
nothing too serious, just an issue dealing with... maturity...
in my life, i've met mature people and immature ppl (duh)
bt first i'm not saying that i'm mature, nor am i saying that i'm immature... the topic i'm writing now is not totally dealing with maturity so.. yea...
anyway, i've came to realize the many 'immature' ppl i meet know quite a lot about life. they are NOT naive, innocent... they are definitely not man. but they are knowledgeable.
the mature ppl are... quite the same.
but i realized that a big difference is that the mature people look at themselves. as in, they don't blame others or say that they can't make it when they haven't tried their best. that's why, they seldom complain, whine, or seek self-pity and attention. the most outstanding leaders i've met put responsibility on their own shoulders. and when things crop up, they thank the people under them for being there for him or her, and they don't blame the crew, sometimes even if it's their grave mistake.
And these people i see are people who are very responsible. They believe things are under their control, and when it screws up, it is them to blame, although sometimes it doesn't apply.
ok the 2 paragraphs i wrote sounds super out of point but i'll make an illfated attempt to link it XD
'immature' people can know lots about life. they know their habits, their shortcomings, and they even know the way out. But sometimes breaking the habit sounds much easier than it actually is. But what's the use of knowledge when one doesn't apply it?
'mature' people can know not-so-much about life. they know their habits, their shortcomings, but they may not be clear of the way out. However they look in themselves and recognize it's their fault, and will try all out instead of whining that the problem is too big, nor trying to seek empathy.
yea there are problems really really really really big in our lives and it's absolutely outrageous for an onlooker to say that the problem is easy when he has never came across with it before.whilst we all say "i've tried my best", it's often not the case at all. When i realized how many times i said that, and how many times i was wrong, i'm gonna get really conscious about saying that i did my best up there. so many times we said "i've tried my best but it won't stop", but almost just as many times we haven't really did whatever we can.
but what i'm trying to say is: it's one thing to be knowledgeable, knowing how to break the habit. but having the determination, the discipline to break the habit is a totally different issue. instead of saying "it's too hard for me", "let someone else handle it", "i'll never get to overcome it", let's get our asses up and really overcome these problems, and stop whining where we are.
remember, we can overcome anything with Jesus by our side.Labels: findings O.O

feeling good
lol im typing this 5 mins after i published the previous one.
it's because i felt good.
i've kinda realized i've not posted a "Godly message" post for a long time. yea and i just did. And i felt good.
of course i felt good. doing the right thing.
but i looked back, and i realized i did not "feel" like writing a "Godly message" at first.
So many times, i realize that we do something because we feel like or not. especially when i'm vocal about some issues, i go on blogging about it for 2 weeks. i feel like doing it. i've just realized that so much we do is based on feelings. superficial feelings.
yea feelings are cool (sumtimes they're not lol), but feelings are so temporal, so short, and sometimes they do mar our long term future. take an example of bill clinton. 10 years back, the media blasted him with alleged sexual conduct with a lady besides his wife (IOW, adultery). the media was raging and blasting him with one sided views, sharp words, killing him in the papers and through the signals. a decade later, when the angry feelings fade, he is voted as one of america's finest presidents.
now i look back and realize how many church services i missed, how many messages i missed to type, how many people i fail to encourage, how many opportunities that shot past me, just 'cause i didn't feel like doing it, or taking it up.
i'm not a person against feelings, and i don't believe that feelings are our best enemies in road to understanding or deciding. I don't believe that thinking with our minds are the best way to understand, nor do i think with my mind all the time. but this' what i realized feelings did for me. Good and bad. so end of story: don't rely everything on feelings, like what we always do nowadays.

Love
“
As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him;”-
Psalm 103:13that was the verse of the day for today.
compassion. it's love, empathy, care. for Jesus saw the thousands who are unfed, he felt compassion towards them.
this verse, telling us, that God is gonna care for us, is gonna love us and help us through if we are his children.
how to be his children?
to fear him la, obviously.
but that fear is not merely talking about being afraid, or scared. This is one of my favourite verses in the bible, truly talking about what it is to follow God, truly illustrating what it means to be a christian, or in layman's terms, what God requires.
"To love him with all your heart, with all your understanding and with all your strength, and to love your neighbor as yourself is more important than all burnt offerings and sacrifices."
Mark 12:33 (NIV)
it's just love. It is the most important thing. Jesus even called it the "2 most important commandments" (love God n love your neighbours). quit thinking that you can't go back to God. Erase that thought of a merit system, dump the idea of rituals making us christians.It's not.
it's love.Labels: christian-bboy, ilovemebutGodlovesmemore

4 nissan latios in a row. GOSH!!!
This driver of the lancer evo changed his boot and spoilers
well, that's another toyota with body kit on. haha
At night at my place comes many tuned performance automobiles. there was once i saw a SKYLINE. blue seksay skyline. there's also an evo duo (those 2 always come together), nissan 350Z, of course the ever so common 2.5 impreza wrx sti, and oh yea, that day i also saw a turbocharged honda accord!
and i came to a realization - there is nothing close we can imagine for what God can do through a person who loves and follow him.
FYI, God works for the best of those who love him.

missions
i need a mission field to keep me alive, with these school holidays, i thought, its a break from the school, the end of the mission field for a month. after WoW, i realized so much, that for me to survive as a christian of God i raelly need a mission field.
"God I need a mission field or else i will die", i told God.
when a christian lacks mission field, lacks a push and go forward, he will stagnate, and rot. that's the growth of the church, and that's somewhat the growth of every christian.
i kinda complained that there's no school, and asked him "how am i gonna survive then?"he returned and told me- i have the mission field where i am.my family.
yesterday i went to spend some time with grandma though there was no tv, she was gonna sleep, the radio playing. just wanted to u noe.. spend time n talk. then she slept. i was still in the room by her side. then came the realization that anyone, anyone including me,
may one day enter the hospital just to have the doctor tell us "he/she has only 3 more months to live".
i suddenly realized it. it's one thing to know it, but another to fully understand, and realize the implications, impact of it.
i've never in my life, lived without a mission field.anywhere.anytime.i just realized it.Labels: awakening
