Time of reflection..

It's always good to reflect on life. Do you know why? So we don't forget all of the good things that has happened to us... we don't forget the people that helped us along the way, and most importantly we don't forget where we came from.

One thing I always say to myself is when I make it to where God wants me to be, I do not want forget who helped me along the way, and I really don't want to forget where I came from.

You see, with God.. when he takes you somewhere, he always takes you from somewhere low and brings you up. That's so we will appreciate it more when we get there. But then we have to be careful because that's where pride and ego can set in and we not only forget where we came from, but we become arrogant and we let it all get to our heads. That's what I DON'T want. EVER.

Because.. the same thing God gave to you, he can easily take it away, like *snaps fingers* that.

That's why it's so important to be humble.. to be humble just means to take what is given to you. To bring yourself down.. your pride, your so called knowledge (truly, our knowledge comes from above) and let God do it. Humbleness attracts success.. it attracts more blessing than you could ever imagine.

That's why where you start from is never bright, it's always from a dark grim place.. and then God shows up and brings you to a place that he's planned for you.
That's how God works... he comes to a place that is mash up.. a place where everything looks hopeless, and he glorifies himself.

How else would you know he's God?

If God comes when everything is fine, how would you know if it was him doing anything? He works in ways we could NEVER imagine.

So when you are expecting something from God.. keep your eyes peeled because he doesn't come the way that you are expecting him to come.

But.. I always reflect, I'm a serial reflector/thinker.. and I can't help but to think about everything that has happened to me and how I've managed to survive.. how I've managed to keep it together.. it's all down to God.

So... definitely take time to reflect on your life.. and just know that God is backing you in everything. Always invite him in your life.. in your day, in your morning, when you're walking... he wants you to. He wants to talk to you, hear him out.

It's something else.

God bless

For the Ladies...

^^This picture is currently on my Blackberry Messenger, and it has so many connotations.

Lets state what's in the picture: A woman who is on her knees with the world on her shoulders.

Women... we are all strong. In whatever aspect, we are strong. The 'world' is everything we experience in life. But the fact that she is on her knees and still managing to hold the world on her shoulders, we are all stronger than we ought to believe. Twists, turns and struggles may come our way, but at the end of it all, we still manage to keep it on our shoulders.

Men indeed need a woman to back them... they can't handle a lot on their own, and it's because they need a strength of a woman. Men are physically and mentally strong but women have a strength that cannot be measured. It's not a sexist thing, it's what I've witnessed, and also I've come to find out through my own personal experiences.

That's why it says in Genesis 2:23

'The man said, "This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called 'woman,' for she was taken out of man'

A man and a woman are cut from the same mould, but there are strengths that a woman has that a man doesn't. There has to be a balance!

What I'm trying to say is, Women.. we do a lot; and I don't think none of us realise how much we take on board until we sit down and reflect!
Just because you're emotional doesn't mean you are weak. It means you can express yourself without any shame.

Imagine: carrying the entire world on our shoulders? And we make it look so easy, when it is not!
Do not be discouraged if things aren't going the way it ought to... it's just a test of our strength, to see how long we can endure. We go through so much pain, emotional damage, a lot of things that we may think we could never get through..

But we do.

No one said life was going to be easy, so really all we can do is to persevere. Despite all of the things that go on in our families, in our lives, whatever the case maybe.. we still find a way to manage.

Come on.
You are strong.

God bless

It's August!

A new month. A new thing that God will do.

I know I haven't updated, and that's all on my part.
Life is so demanding... and my spiritual father always says something, 'We have given the power to make wealth' God gives us power and authority to do what we couldn't do. We have the POWER to CREATE.

Are you still with me here?

God is not a magician. You don't just sit there and wait for God to come down from the clouds before you do something. God is a spirit. He uses US as his vessels for what he wants to do for this world to be what he wants it to be.
So WE have to put the work in; that's why scripture says 'I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me'

So.. whatever you are seeking for. GO FOR IT. God has given us the power to do it. Don't just sit there and expect God to come.

God does not come the way we are expecting. God can manifest himself through a baby, a dog, a toddler.. anything! You don't know, that's why it's never good to expect. Just have belief and faith.

Scripture also says, 'We walk by faith, not by sight' 2 Corinthians 5:7

That means, the things that you are praying for.. the things that have been declared over your life.. you have to have FAITH and believe so that it comes to pass. Lets say 'Faith' is our spiritual sight. Do you know how powerful your faith can be once you build it up?

Even me.. I'm getting to a level.. but my faith is not up there just yet. I'll admit, sometimes it sways, and I do get a bit double minded, and that's never good. But God is helping my slowly. When your faith sways too much.. BUILD IT UP.

How?

Encourage yourself in the word of God.
Find yourself a spiritual father/mother
PRAY

Prayer is key. It helps a lot. God has answered a lot of my prayers and I get so marveled. He HEARS ME! If that doesn't build up your faith... I dunno what will.

But that's all for now. I gots so many other things to write; but I promise I'll update tomorrow or even this evening...

God bless

What do you do...

to show someone that you really care?

Actions speak louder; which is what they all say, but what if you've done enough actions.. do you think that they would have caught on and realised?

You know when you just wanna prove to someone that you care, rather just telling the person, 'I care about you' and not doing anything?

When you just do those little things that they don't expect... it tells them a lot.

I dunno.

Just late night babblings.

I'm on holiday so more thought provoking blogs soon come.

God bless

Haven't blogged...

I know!

Grr, I don't want this to become a growing trend!

It's just when I get home from work I'm so tired.. and I just want to sleep and blah blah.

Anyway!

I'm gonna be real.

What if the person you're meant to be with is right in front of you and YOU know it, but that person doesn't?

What do you do?

I'm not sure if I'm in that kind of situation, I could be getting way ahead of myself... but it's just a thought.

I officially finish for the holidays on the 19th of this month. So it's drawing nearer. I'll them have more thought provoking things to say, because right now I am so frazzled.

God bless
