8 Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.
I have been pondering..this...for a couple of days. Some moments I couldn't get out of evil thoughts that leading me to have negative perpective on things. It was not bad. I am not a super woman who has super power.
Whatever things are true. Everything or anything that is true. True means consistent with fact or reality. The world is so dying and we are called to love. (I admit I do hate from time to time)
Considering these, I have to choose whatever things are noble (น่านับถือ), things are just (ยุติธรรม), things are pure (บริสุทธ์), things are lovely(น่ารัก), things are of good report (ที่ทรงคุณ)....if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.
Meditate on these things-->think about it deeply, in mind ( how can we not forget about it the next day?--that's my question)
I have to choose. There's always the fight inside of me. Some day it is a very long fight. I have to choose. Yesterday, I talked to my boss who empoweres me to live each day. He talked about the "WILL", to yearn for, a desire to do so and remember/recognize who we really are. I am empowered by grace of God.
It's never been easy for days and nights but God never leaves us. He never leaves me. He comes too slow sometimes so that I can learn about those things and know how much I NEED Him.
Too Much By Leeland I need a place a sanctuary A refuge for my ordinary Finally familiar peaceful home Untroubled safe from all this madness Refuge for my hope and sadness Possible to find myself alone At home
I've found my home again I finally find myself in You I finally find myself in You I feel safe again You're the one I'm running to
I need nothing but Him. He's all I want. Can I just get Him whenever I want? No. You are created to be difficult and complicated so that you will be desperately NEEDED Him. If it's easy, why do I need God for?
Last year someone prayed for me to grow in maturity and I was like..I acted like childish, didn’t I? whatever..it was something left in my mind to be told like that. I had difficult time and dealing with anxiety turning 29. As I am approaching 30, I thought it was going to be a devastating blow but instead, I am very content and not freaking out. I am more satisfied, not only with myself but also with God. In my 20’s, I’ve lived my life and learned everyday. (Sometimes remember, sometimes don’t)
I am about to turn 30 and it’s not a big deal.
I have learned that I have become more comfortable under my skin.
I’ve learned that I don’t have to avoid to say things that are painful because it’s true (but learned to say it nicely)
I’ve learned that I don’t have to be perfect because I am not perfect but I was uniquely created.
I’ve learned that I am capable more of independence.
I’ve learned how to compromise without compromising myself in order to make life easier or happier for other people.
I’ve learned the importance of my friendships and being a good friend is just as comforting as having a good friend.
I’ve learned to believe that love does come when you least expect it and I’ve learned that God is the only one and the only way. If you want to know what love is, find GOD!
I’ve learned a lot but I’ll not write them all.
In my going to be 30, I can tell you right off if you are a jerk or acting like one. You don’t have to wonder where you stand with me. 30 is dignified. I know myself well enough to be assured who I am, what I want and from whom. I do things I want to do and it’s more interesting. I’m not chasing guys away anymore lol I choose to look at all great things that come with turning 30. All life lessons in my 20’s, I can now apply to my life. It keeps getting better.
Turning 30 rocks. I’ll celebrate BIG this year and hangovers WooHoo LOL
Treasure every moment you have and treat today as the utmost gift you will have.
This could mislead in some way, I don’t know.. but I have never thought of about who I admire before, not before.. but long enough to recognize it. I might admired movie stars or singers but clearly not now (maybe I’d save for one for Ashton or two for Daniel Craig) Well, I certainly have someone I admire right now. The person I admire is not world famous, not older than me, and not a superstar. I admire him because of his passion and for all he has done as a friend to me. He is one of my best friends.
He does such a wonderful job leading worship. He desires himself to surrender to God. He desires for God and he is a good example of the follower for me. He leads me to good things and to God,of course. He is supportive and has a very kind heart. The greatest reason I admire him is that whenever he has failed or messed up or sin, he humbled himself and admitted it. The humble mind impressed me most.
He has been very honest for the very first time we met. He couldn’t deny my beauty (this one I’m joking) We have been through so much for 2 years (at least so much for me) For the very first year, we had to fight for being friends as he is a westerner and I am an easterner. There’s the difference between us. Interestingly, by contrast, by mindset, by whatever it takes, something is worth thinking about (at least for me again) This must be the gift from above which I can’t earn, or gain or buy from the street. I believe it’s grace and mercy God has for me (for us)
Music is a part of his life, I’m impressed every time he plays guitar and sings. He has a nice and soft voice which I’ve always blown away every time I hear he sings (haha I never told him). He is an ordinary guy with an extraordinary heart. I give compliments when I mean them so I can’t say it anytime or anywhere. I wish he could know without me saying but apparently he has no clue. I didn’t say, it didn’t mean I didn’t know or didn’t feel it. He has a good trait and his passion is a trait of a good leader. When he speaks about God, I’ve blown away again. I wish the conversations would continue and never end.
His life can be a good example of person who has struggled with sins. Respectfully, he is my best friend and I’m blessed indeed in good and bad times. He’s always there as he always say he will be there (I believe he can’t remember what he says)
If I ever had a chance to say or express all of these to him, I wish he knew it only came from my heart and there was no making up lines just to make it looked nice or tried to impress him.
Sometimes things happen that are hard to understand but I believe faith will see us through.
The best answers come from the silent within, remind yourself that your life begins now.
The light in your life will never go dim.
Bitter feelings can be sweetened when we take them to the Lord in prayer.
Without Winter, there can be no Spring. Without mistakes, there can be no learning. Without doubts, there can be no faith. Without fear, there can be no courage.
hah, I was missing those qoutes I wrote them down in my lil notebook 3 years ago. Something was found when I read them all over again. Something was missing for long time was found this morning.
Whatever I found, tomorrow I will forget it anyway so...read or write it today, you will have to start it all over again tomorrow. It's like when you did some mistake and you said sorry then you did it again, you tried to fix it, the next day you did it again. You know something you have already known but you don't know if you know about it. Then someone tell you about what you know, you go "ah, that's what I've already known" You were so proud of yourself because someome was repeating about what you knew.
I don't care if you know or I know. It'd be interesting for whoever can put in action in all what we know.
Can I see fatih? with my short eyesight? no I can't.
Do I have faith? oh so a little!
The attitude reflects your faith when it goes in action.
