emotions and reactions.

We all have emotions,
but we shouldn't let them control our reactions.

I feel that i am learning a lot about letting go. I don't want to hold on to certain emotions i have towards certain people or things. I don't want emotions to get in the way of something greater if only i learned to have more self control.

I don't think i am good with maintenance but i am learning. to fix things, to maintain things, rather than let them fall apart, be lost, or just gone.

There is a time to learn everything isn't there. This is the time i learn not to let my emotions dictate how i react in particular situations. No matter how strongly i feel for or against it.

I don't want to just do things because they will benefit me. I don't want my life to be all about me.... It's not about what i get for myself. Its not about how it may fulfill my life. It's not about what i can get or achieve.

TOMORROW is start to patternmake again DAY! and sew sew sew :D. wooohoooooooo!!
time to get back on the project label board :) hehe...

xx
have a lovely day.

life

good close friends and family. 

work that is at its right place.

a relationship with God that is tip top. strong. where i am really listening to His heartbeat and His Spirit that lives in me.

i don't want to be bothered about fame, money, status, power. and all that nonsense. i don't need to be entertainment either. i am just going to be me, real and everything. no split personality, just what you see is what you get. honest and real. not going to put up an image or portray something i am not. not going to do anything to impress anyone. imperfect okay, nobody is perfect. but i don't want to conform to the world. to do anything to please anyone just to get something i want out of it. My life is not going to be mine to abuse. Its going to be there to let God work through me. no striving, it shall stop.

i don't need to be an impact, or in inspiration. i don't need to be an example of perfection or good work. that is not my job. focusing on that will mean i am focusing on me. and i don't want to be focusing on myself. All i need to do is look at God, look at Jesus and point people towards Him. because he is the Way the Truth and the Life. And once i focus on Him, i believe fruits will naturally be produced. Naturally, organically. just don't quench the Spirit.

He is the author and perfecter of my faith.

He said when i am weak, He is strong.

He said to deny myself and take up the cross. its not about my way.. its not about what i want and getting it, nor about my dreams and getting it, nor about my vision and getting it.

----

its not about relaxing, taking things easy, not caring, being complacent NOR is it about striving, chasing, fighting, having a large vision. Its about being diligent with whatever work you are given, never compromising your integrity, and letting God give the answer, result and trusting His will because its always good and right :)

peace out peeps.

" I keep six honest..."

I Keep six honest serving-men:
  (They taught me all I knew)
Their names are What and Where and When
  And How and Why and Who.
I send them over land and sea,
  I send them east and west;
But after they have worked for me,
  I give them all a rest.

I let them rest from nine till five.
  For I am busy then,
As well as breakfast, lunch, and tea,
  For they are hungry men:
But different folk have different views:
  I know a person small--
She keeps ten million serving-men,
  Who get no rest at all! 

She sends 'em abroad on her own affairs,
  From the second she opens her eyes--
One million Hows, two million Wheres,
  And seven million Whys!

- Rudyard Kipling

this poem is rather cute.

need to finish up illustrations and prepare for tomorrow's meeting. tata peeps! i'll leave you with a part of an encouraging poem;

...

If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:

...Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,

And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!

- Rudyard Kipling

i feel that the best way to teach another, is to live by example. And the best way to learn, is to watch a master carry out his skills. We are constantly bombarded with things that are not exactly good for us. Whether it be by the media or by the environment we are in. But that doesn't mean we should blame them either, or accuse another. For most of the times, they don't know what they are doing. And sometimes when we personally are making a mistake we don't know it, but when we see it. we learn to be better :)

But its always important to test all things. little things add up.

"but test them all; hold on to what is good, reject every kind of evil." - 1 thessalonians 5:21,22

life is a journey of learning to love, its not easy. but its worth it.

Anyway

 People are unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered.
Love them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish ulterior motives.
Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some false friends and true enemies.
Succeed anyway.

The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow.

Be good anyway.

Honesty and frankness will make you vulnerable.
Be honest and frank anyway.

What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight.
Build anyway.

People need help but will attack you if you help them.
Help them anyway.

In the final analysis, it is between you and God.
It was never between you and them anyway.

- Kent Keith 1968, 

  Mother Teresa placed it on her children’s home in Calcutta in a slightly different version. 

 another beautiful poem :)

regaining focus.

"Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith"

Jesus said, "Follow Me"

"I am the Way the Truth and the Life, no one comes to the father except through Me"

This verse tells us to focus on Jesus. Focus on Jesus , He is the author and perfecter of our faith.

i remember putting this quote in my first post " It takes half your life before you discover life is a do-it-yourself project." - Napoleon Hill"

I do believe that God has give us the free will to choose Him. But to have Life is to believe in Jesus and you can't work your own miracle" Jesus even said " I of myself can do nothing" and " Don't you believe that I am in the Father, and the Father is in me? The words I say to you are not just my own. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing His work."

 I feel that i have been caught up too much with the cares of the world. and being selfish :(. time to regain focus now, because Life can only be found in Jesus. no one else, nothing else, no special work or deed. Just our relationship, i want to be able to say , whatever you will in my life. Let it so be done.  Because i know He is loving and merciful and His way is always right!

Because if its either living in Gods will, or if not we are most probably living in our own selfishness.

"Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it." Time to regain focus.

Ants!

you know how when we feel lazy, God ask us to "watch the ants!" and " stop making excuses"!!

"Go to the ant, O sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise. Without having any chief, officer, or ruler, she prepares her bread in summer and gathers her food in harvest." - Proverbs 6:6-8

"The ants are a people not strong, yet they provide their food in the summer." - Proverbs 30:25

Honestly i've never seen a stationary ant, if an ant is not moving its most probably dead! I wonder if they even ever sleep haha. And when we feel sluggardy or lazy what does God call us to do, to observe the ants. They are always working, they are always preparing, always taking any good opportunities that comes their way and whenever there is unattended food there they are ready marching, calling their other hommies to come collect the food! And they are so tiny yet together they work to carry something a hundred times their size, they communicate really well with each other and aren't selfish when it comes to sharing information.

The lazy person claims, "There's a lion on the road! Yes, I'm sure there's a lion out there!" - Proverbs 26:13

Excuses, aren't we good at making them. too tired, too hungry, too bored, too difficult, too scary. Or the "what if's?!".." what if i _______?! i can't do it!". Enough of all those already, whatever you have got to do, Do it! :) as Simple as that. 

Lets get out there and be ants !

do have a restful weekend though :)

Little drops of water.

via myrevelment

Little drops of water

Little grains of sand

Makes the mighty ocean

and the beauteous land

And the little moments

humble though they may be

make the mighty ages

of eternity

Little deeds of kindness

little words of love

make our earth an Eden

like the heaven above

So our little errors

lead the soul away

from the paths of virtue

into sin to stray

Little seeds of mercy

sown by youthful hands

grow to bless the nations

far in heathen lands

Glory then forever

be to God on high

beautiful and loving

to eternity.

-Julia Carney 1845

I first heard this meaningful phrase " little drops of water, makes the mighty ocean " from my add maths teacher Mr.Lee, back in high school. The funny thing is, i don't remember anything about add maths but i did remember and ponder upon this phrase. Which in return, has really taught me about not neglecting the little things because, they do add up to much larger things whether you like it or not.

I think this is such a beautiful poem. don't you? :)
