Maybe I should actually work on my assignment instead..

I’m meant to be working on my assignment, but my mind wandered off somewhere else.



Again, my heart aches that I live two different lives in two different countries. As much as I try to move on completely, a part of me still lives in the past. The past seems so much easier because it’s already conquered.



A lot has happened in three years.



I find myself feeling guilty for wanting more than what I already have. Instead of enjoying God’s blessings in the present, there are a few (okay, maybe more than a few!) times where my mind goes, “I wish...” But, when I stop and reflect, I have so much to be thankful for



My thoughts drift off to friendships and relationships, and I go, “Why don’t I have...” or “I wish...” It’s so stupid really. I don’t understand why I keep thinking about these when I have so much in my life.



Maybe I’m just getting a little lonely trying to walk through this life alone. And when I mean alone, I don’t just mean a life-long partner. (though that would be nice) As much as I have God by my side, I find myself continuously trying to please Him. When would I realise that helping out in numerous sections in church will not get God to love me anymore?



It’s that attitude that isolates me from “overly” depending on people around me. Perhaps by being independent, God will be more proud of me. I try to be the best that I can, I try to exceed my keyboard playing from 2 months ago, I try to step up in music and start singing, I try to be the best youth leader that I can, I try to help friends out, etc.



In other words, I’m trying to impress. To think about it, who am I trying to impress?

Dreams, hope and everything else

I need to continually make a conscious decision to keep God in my thoughts, heart and life.


It doesn't matter what I want at the moment. When God places a dream in your heart, He'll bring it to past. Because His promises never fail. And there is no disappointments when you place your hope in God's hands.


It's about speaking God's promises over your life. Speaking it out loud, helps us to convince ourselves of His promises. No, it's not some reverse pyschology method. It's just how we're wired..


Look forward to the fountain of blessings, instead of being distracted by Burden, Misery, Self-indulgence, Doubt and Anxiety.


Dream with God. Dream the dream He has for you. Soar with His freedom and bask in His love.


Trust God with absolutely everything that you have. And His plans will come to past, knowing that He's got your back covered. :)
