I came to blogger.com with the intention to write about the blessings I see in 2008, and then after that, write about something that's affecting me a bit. In other words, complain in a nice way.
But as I was loading the page, I suddenly realised that this was a blessing. It's a way that God's bringing me towards the goal I set for myself in this year! And this is to train me.
My main goal was to learn to love, to have a heart of compassion for people. Basically I don't like the way I'm being treated... It's like last year's seating arrangement case, a little, but in a seemingly less extreme way. But I think this year the challenge is up. I won't say how, I won't say why. I cannot do that.
I was telling my parents about it. And they were like "Why does she behave like that? Is it her upbringing?" "Then if so why do her parents behave like that? Is it THEIR upbringing" etcetc.
And I got quite fed-up so I just said "I don't care what her upbringing is. I just have to find a way to love her."
I realised 2 things.
1. I haven't been praying much. I have to work on my prayer life.
2. Loving isn't just 'putting up with'. Loving someone means truly caring for the person, bothering about how this behaviour is going to affect the person in future. And that means admonishing in love. But I've been reasoning to myself so much, I don't know how I'm going to do that. But I'll try to keep her and the other people in prayer and ask God to intercede for me. I think that's the only way I'll ever get the courage to speak to her.
And halfway while writing that I opened MSN. Guess what I saw?
Yesterday, I was typing my new nick and PM.
#LOL-ly I need to be conscious of the value God sees in each and every one of you
A heart for this world. The heart of God.
I know that was meant for pre-believers, but come to think of it, loving and having compassion doesn't just talk about pre-believers. Christians need love and compassion too!
God values pre-believers, but Christians do too! And we have value too- we can serve God, when we choose too.
And yes, it's about all of us.
And come to think of it, this blog is http://people-need-the-Lord.blogspot.com not http://prebelievers-need-the-Lord.blogspot.com
I just got the email list for our group!
I intend to send the email out midweek. Tuesday/Wednesday would be good, encouragement is most necessary in the middle of the week.
On weekends, we have church to charge us up.
Oh and I seriously need to cut the thing. Like CRAZY. To 200 words!
Gosh, that's about a thousand. Well... 961 words, to be exact.
Well, I'll go do my work for tomorrow, then have my yogurt and cut it (hopefully finish doing that) and then I'll do my homework for wednesday and then I'll spend TAWG, pray and sleep!
BIBLE READING PLAN!
IGNYTE is just TOO cool, ooh yea!
