Why do some pple in our life juz come in and go and we can't do anything about it, even though we want them to stay in our lives?
We can only know the heartbeat of our GOD for us but never fully understand the works of his hands... ...
Many things has happened in such a short span of time... ...
Many has shed tons of tears during this time... ...
It struck so hard in me that nothing is certain... ...
How vulernable life is... ...
How one's action will have an impact on another... ...
How life is crafted with so much smiles and tears... ...
How much we hated our current situations... ...
How much we wanna lead the life we used to have with all smiles... ...
How much we dislike changes... ...
How much we have to surrender to HIM coz' it's juz simply not within our control...
We juz simply dunno how... ...
As we grow older, we come to know more about the reality of life... ...
Sometimes, growing up really sucks... ...
When we were in primary school, we could'nt wait to grow up...
We wanted to be older and matured and be in university...
Now, itz may not the case anymore... ...
the older we grow, the more we wished we could turn back the clock and be young again... ...
But, that withstanding,
We know if we were to turn back the clock and stay put at that age,
We wouldnt be able to experience all the fun and taste all the sweetness in our 20s... ..
I guess itz all part and parcel of growing up... ...
It's okie to reminisce the past, but not to live in the past... ...
I guess, the next step for us is to learn to grow gracefully... ...
To accept all that has happened and to know that there are better things in store for us..
Let's all together be forward looking and not backward -looking and live life to the max in this tough journey... ...
Ground squirrels hibernate our homes during winter, and they reappear when the snow melts in the spring. My wife Carolyn and I enjoy watching them scurry back and forth from one hole to another, while others stand like tiny sentries watching for predators.
In mid-May, a man from a nearby golf course arrives on a little green tractor with a tank loaded with lethal gas. The groundskeeper tells us that these little critters have to be eliminated because they dig holes in the fairways. SOme survive, but most do not. It always makes us a little sad to see the tractor arrive.
If I could, I'd chase the little animals away. I'd destroy their holes and force them to settle someplae else. I'm sure they would resent my interference, but my actions would be solely for their good.
So it is with our BIG GOD up there. HE may break up our comfortable nests now and then, but behind every difficult change lies HIS love and eternal purpose. HE is not cruel or capricious. HE is working for our ultimate good. HE wants us to be conformed to the image of HIS son and give us glorious enjoyments in heaven forever. So how can we fear change when it comes from someone whose love for us never changes? (Romans 8:38-39)
If we can't see the sun now... ...
That's either cos' the clouds are hiding them now or our glasses haf turned misty... ...
Clouds are ever-moving...they will move away gradually... ...
Clean yr glasses with a soft wipe :O... ....
AND, YOU WILL SEE THE SUN once again! (",>)
We all know it is easier said than done and talk is cheap... ...
BUT,
Rem' you still have a pool of cushions that are olreadi stacked so high up awaiting for your fall...
so even if you do fall, you will still land comfortably! HUgzZZZZZ
Till now, it still seems like a dream to me... ...
It was totally unexpected... ...
It may be a small little surprise,
nothing fantastic nor big... ...
BUT, it juz meant sooOOOOO much soOOO much to me!
Feeling extremely blissful now till i can truly sing from my heart... ...
"Like an apple tree among the trees of the forest is my lover among the young men. I delight to sit in his shade, and his fruit is sweet to my taste"
