My life, my story.

Relationship.
Amos 3:3 - Can two people walk together without agreeing on the direction?
As you can see, it does not take much to make others understand that it takes two to make a relationship work.
But it is not for the fact that by having two people in a relationship that it will definitely work out.
Two people can easily create tension between them with a little spark present.

The few important things that need to be present in order for the relationship to work out are:
1) Communication,
2) Commitment, and
3) Discipline.

Communication is not just you talking and your partner talking.
It also involves listening.
You have to be present, physically, mentally and spiritually while your other partner or friend is talking and telling you things that they need to get out of their chest.
If you do not pay attention and listen attentively, that is not only mean but it is disrespectful as well.
Can you imagine your partner doing the same to you?
Put yourself in their shoes.
Wouldn't you want him/her to jot down every single tiny detail of the stories you're sharing about in their mind?
Without communication, somehow a relationship seems easier to be ruined.
It's the little things that you tell one another that makes the bond between you two stronger.
Without communication, small unnecessary things that are not told can easily expand to a huge problem between you two.

Commitment: an agreement between two people.
We shall not be governed by emotion but by commitment.
Imagine two people having the communication part done but not the commitment, that won't do anything well for them in the future, would it?
People can easily talk to others, vent to others, rant to others, be there for others but without the commitment part, it can be torn apart with a the little-st strength ever.
We shouldn't let our emotions take over when deciding to do something because our emotions are so temporary that you will regret your decision after your emotion changes.
We should all think thoroughly and in detailed before actually deciding what is it that you really want to do.

Discipline.
God does not want us to be immature.
God wanted us to be disciplined in order for us to know how to make our own decision.
He entrusted us that we know which option to choose.
He knows that we would choose the right choice ultimately.
The freewill that He gave us is not for us to take advantage of, it is not for us to do anything that we can to do.
I mean, in a way, yes it is.
But looking it at another way, it is not because you shouldn't abuse the freewill that God gave you.
To me, I believe the reason why God gave us freewill is because He wants to see how mature we can be in making decisions.

And that was roughly what was being discussed during POP today.
POP being our bible study group held on every Saturday morning.

Sometimes it just amazes me how the Holy Spirit works.
It knows exactly what to do.
For a few times already, every single thing that I pray to God about, asking for a direction, asking for clues, hints or help for this troubling question in my mind, it will be answered in that week through my friends, my care group, or even Pastor Ray.
I mean, how crazy is that?
That is God speaking to me right there and then.
Whenever others tell me how they feel about a certain random topic that we came up with, it answered the question stuck in my head.
That makes me so speechless at times.
Astonished at how God works, how God answers prayers, how God is always there helping you out of your problems, it just makes me feel so thankful and grateful towards Him.
I know that maybe things like this won't last forever, but sometimes it's just maybe I'm becoming more oblivious to things around me and not realizing that they are signs from God.

I know that He spoke to me, told me what to do with the thing that I am worried about through Pastor Ray today.
But I think that it's not something that I can do in a split second.
I now know what He have in plan for me and I'll work towards that.
But I think I need time.

Thank You for always being there for me, Lord Jesus.
You are just so amazing and wonderful.
There is no one else like You.
I am just so grateful and thankful for everything.
Thank You God, thank You.

Goodnight in advanced lovelies.
Xoxo.
