Hey friends, that’s you. Things may get a bit more hectic this year. I’m gonna be changing my job starting Feb. Interesting transition. I’ve only been offered about two and a half weeks ago. And I decided last week. Sent my resignation letter to my current boss the moment I decided. Of course, as with any kind of change I’m faced with, I have this deep inner fear from my stomach that comes up and crawls under my skin. I’m not kidding. It feels like that. Always. Especially when I have to do something important. Changing a job is an important event. Anyway, I hope I do well there. It’s one step up my ‘corporate life ladder’. Which always means more responsibility and more stress and more focus needed. Focus? GAH. I’m gonna try my best anyway. I will make mistakes and forget stuff and make a fool of myself. But I have to remind myself what I’ve recently reminded a dear friend of mine, to be successful is to fail and to try and try again.

I hope you’re rocking your life.

If not, take courage and make the best out of what you have! Bring God with you.

Cheerio!

A Hello

One hello to you. One more tomorrow. Each time you visit, you’ll get one.

It’s 1:11am right now. Not like you wanted to know that haha.

Anyways, just wanted to shout out to my readers. That’s you bro. Or.. Female-bro… Thanks for keeping this blog alive with footprints. It’s like less than five per day. But who cares? I just need a few. You. Thanks for being patient. Especially now that i blog alot less.

I promise to update more often. I notice i work well answering problems. So ask me something. I love discussing attitude, character, relationship, media, bible. Stuff like that. Just ask me.

I’ve also been up to some new blogs. Two fiction blogs. One intended for mini stories. One for more serious fiction. About me and the spiritual state of mankind. Written by a demon to another demon. A rip off of The Screwtape Letters by C. S. Lewis. Haha. Of course, we’ll have to see how it goes. Seeing as i can’t even keep up with one blog. Adding two more may not be such a good idea.

That’s a short update for you readers. I love you. Have a good night.

Trying New Things

Last week I tried to memorise three verses from the bible (struggling on the third one). Let’s test my work so far: Romans 12:1 I beseech you, therefore, brethren, submit your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable sacrifice. Romans 12:2 Do not conform to the patterns of this world any longer, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is – His good, pleasing, and perfect will. Romans 12:3… Something like, For by grace given me I say unto you, do not think yourself more highly than you ought, but think of yourself with humility and judgement…? Oh man, I’m sorry. I’m pretty sure that was a bad attempt on all three verses! But I must strive on! Memorising has been a blessing to me so far. Anyways my plan is to memorise the WHOLE CHAPTER 12 of the book of Romans. So please hold me accountable to this. Thankeeeee

Also, I’ve been thinking, maybe I should start writing stories. Like fiction. My head is full of ideas and impossible situations, I wonder how they’d look in an organised, logical, worded paragraph. I’m probably gonna fail so hard haha. But I want to give it a try. I’ll start a new blog for it though, so that it doesn’t clash with things I actually want to share with you guys. I love you all.

Btw, what do you think my new story blog should be called? (I’ve tried doctordragonfly but that blog domain has been taken. noooooooo)

Acts 1

Verses 6-7

 

⁶ So when they met together, they asked him, “Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?”

⁷ He said to them: “It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority.

 

this verse reminds me of what a pastor once told me.

he told me that “Jesus will be returning tomorrow!”

 

we have to live like Jesus will return tomorrow.

Jesus will return one day, and that day will be a tomorrow.

but if we dont expect it to be a tomorrow, we’ll never be ready for it.

 

no matter what situation you are in now,

you are to live the life God has called,

that is how we can expect tomorrow.

 

 

Verses 9-11

 

⁹ After he said this, he was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight.

¹⁰ They were looking intently up into the sky as he was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them. ¹¹ “Men of Galilee,” they said, “why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven.”

 

we need to stop looking into the sky.

we need to stop looking at where Jesus WAS.

we need to stop reliving our PAST experiences.

we need to stop expecting the same touch from God as the “last time”.

No, God has new things for us.

New encounters.

New blessings.

New miracles.

everyday.

 

we just need to obey Him.

and move with Him.

Every day.

 

 

Verses 24-26

 

²⁴ Then they prayed, “Lord, you know everyone’s heart. Show us which of these two you have chosen ²⁵ to take over this apostolic ministry, which Judas left to go where he belongs.”²⁶ Then they cast lots, and the lot fell to Matthias; so he was added to the eleven apostles.

 

i always find this so interesting that in the olden days, people ‘cast lots’ to decide what God has chosen.

we can find this all over the bible, from old testament, even till after Jesus’ departure, as seen in this verse.

 

for me, i dont like to use chance to speak on God’s behalf.

for me, i love maths, i love calculating possibility, and i understand how chances work,

i also understand how it can be manipulated,

and it just doesnt make sense to me that God will use this method to work His will.

 

But i think i know where the problem is.

the problem is that in this world of tech and science and maths,

we dissociate science with the divine.

we even dissociate logic with the divine.

nowadays, anything that makes sense and can be proven is science, and not Godly.

because anything ‘divine’ cannot be understood or proven, like miracles and heaven and angels.

we think that science and maths has nothing to do with God.

in church, science is taboo.

and in labs, God is taboo.

 

we forget that God is the CREATOR of science and maths.

God is the creator of logic and possibility and chance and chemistry and the universe and the life span of stars and the flight paths of particles!

we forget that science and math has EVERYTHING to do with God.

 

 

 

anyways, thats my devotion for today.

hope you’re blessed.
