LETTER FROM A FRIEND

To the person who wrote this letter for me, my best friend, my apses; Thank you. I appreciate this so much. I'll be okay soon.

Google say’s Paula is a feminine form of the name Paul. They said that Paul was courageous, patient, humble, persistent, yielded to God and a forgiving person.

On the other hand, Anna was defined as favor or grace. Beautiful! Your mother have not mistakenly gave you that name! Kudos to her, such a good choice – indeed, she really has a good taste J.

For the past days, I know you’ve been hurting a lot. I know, I could never imagine the pain you are experiencing. My words of encouragement and reminders could never be enough to ease the pain. Neither the presence of your friends nor any activities that keeps your mind away from that pain. Deep inside, I know when you are alone you can still feel that pain that breaks you inch by inch, moment by moment. You’re broken, I know. And it will be needless and overly used if I keep on saying, “Trust God” because you already knew that. In painful times like this, trusting Him feed our mind but not our hearts. It’s not easy same with letting go of that pain. The more you let go of it, the more it becomes painful.

GET OVER. TRUST GOD.

To get over from a love that turn into sour is not an easy task. Patience, wisdom, acceptance, forgiveness, understanding and courage are the little steps to keep yourself going.




I usually hear that when someone gets over on a past relationship, one of the best revenge is a “who you?” reply whenever you received a text message. I learned that it is wrong. It is still part of your bitterness. Something that we should not allow to continue living a good life.

'The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it? '– Jeremiah 17:9

Just to let you know, I’m a person who will do everything that I can do for someone important. I can think of ways to make things work the way I wanted it to be. Best effort as what they called it. It’s my love language. Until the day I realized that it is too much, I am already trying to control things. Fears and doubt awakens. I am even jealous of a friend thinking she might affect our relationship, and yes jealousy gets in! Imagine that.

IT'S NOT ABOUT US

From this past season of brokenness that I've been through, I really wanted to write on how God has changed me. My perspective, my view of Him as my God, as my father and my savior.

I just don’t know how to put it into words. But let me share it to you this way.

"My apology for some wrong grammar you might find..I'm still learning how to write.. :)"
"Credits to h3sean and dimples. Thanks to both of you."

Most of the time, as Christians, we tend to try to be perfect, we are so harsh to ourselves to the point that our world becomes small.

We do things, we sin, we forget what is right from what is wrong then we put all the blame to us. As if the world only turn for us.

In this recent season, I learned that it is not about us, our selfish ways and our selfish desires.

We have to remember the grace that God has given to us. At times we forget about it. We do all the works that makes us no different from the Pharisees.

Remember, It is not about us but about His glory, about which things will bring Him honor.

Every day we should ask for His grace for us to be obedient. By asking that, we are actually accepting the fact that we cannot do it on our own.

We are His disciples, His student, His follower. From every situation we are being changed from glory to glory. The mere fact is, this whole life are being spent for us to learn His character.

People come and go. You sometimes have to let go of some even if they are a blessing to you. You have to commit yourself in trusting God. Believing that everything works for good.

Desiring to change and surrender something to God is the first step.But that’s as far as it goes. After all has been said and done, it’s the little decisions you’ve made that will matter. It’s the little compromises that you’ve allowed yourself to indulge in that will break you.There are things in life that we sacrifice to God and give up to Him in our hopes and expectations that He will help us through. But somehow we find ourselves wanting to get a taste of that which we just surrendered. It’s natural for us to look back and compromise and long for the things that we told ourselves we’d never have anything to do with again.There was one time that I surrendered to God lately – but I found myself wanting to compromise the commitment. I wanted to go around and find loopholes in the very commitment that I surrendered up to Him. Imagine that.My heart was all for the commitment during the time that I gave it up. But the heart is deceptive above all things. Sooner than later, I found myself wanting to work my way through the commitment I made little by little – until I was surprised that I have broken it completely. That blemished commitment that I made became no commitment at all and left me feeling sorry for myself. - h3sean

  

Therefore, In everything we should acknowledge Him, ask for His opinion, His directions. Whether it’s about our career, relationship with the opposite sex, family and personal longings.

Let him guide you. Honor God and He will honor you. Remember, It is not about us.

Why is Getting Out of Comfort Zone Very Important?

Getting out of our comfort zone is very Important. Simply because we have to. We need to adopt to the constant changes that are happening around us.

Our mindset has to evolve and mature. Our brain can hold some much thoughts that must be put to focus.

Imagine the universe, imagine how big our galaxy is. That's how big our brain I think.

Human brain is not proportional to human body size. Our brain is a huge thing. We do sometimes feel like we know nothing, while other feels that they know a lot.

There is so much space for us to belittle ourselves and feel like we are nothing. The truth is, we knew a lot and have learn a lot as we spend this lifetime, it's just that, our thoughts were scattered. We do not know what we really want, we got confused and somehow lost as if there are these dark big spaces that's still unoccupied.

Can we fill-in those spaces? The answer is, IT DEPENDS.

Simply because once we learn something, we get used to it, then, boom! that's it! It becomes a routine and somehow boring.

What we have to understand here is that, we, as human being, are wired to change and to grow.

We just can't stay in one zone forever. We must continue learning.

There is so much to life, so much to experience. Don't focused on what was lost and what's not there. Create new boxes to fill in. Focused on those boxes so you won't notice the vast in your thoughts and get lost.

Give yourself a favor. Learn new skills, new knowledge, new environment.

Go out of your comfort zone. Travel. Read books. Study the bible. Know your creator. Meet new people, Cherish the old. Live life to the fullest! :)
