Hi, it's me again. Well, it's been a while since my last blog post but this time I'd like to post about something more personal.
Ever since I came Toronto, loads of things have been going through my mind. Who are my good friends? Why can't I do as well as I had first expected in school? What IS my purpose in life? Why do I feel so empty sometimes ?
I've been a christian all my life, my parents were christians so.. yeah.
Thing is, after talking to some sisters last night at devotion, I realized that that is actually a disadvantage cause for me, I'm (kind of) studying the bible now and I know most of the stories, some of the main lessons and principles. I guess KNOWING is not the same as APPLYING it into your life. I know these stuff, but I've never applied them in my life. Back home, I'm one of those people who go to church, listen to the message, go home. I have to admit, it feels good not being convicted to do anything about the message cause God never forces His children. I feel guilty for taking the status of being a Christian for granted.
Up till recently, I've always put my studies first, getting good grades, earning praises and etc etc. I know now that I should learn to put God first in everything cause He is the reason that I live (believe it or not) :D
Putting God first, it's easier said than done, my friend. The world has thousands of ways of stopping/hindering you from doing that. That is why I am thankful for the people who are helping me,constantly encouraging me and reminding me that God is number 1 in our lives.
Love God and live only (or ultimately) for Him
ciao
