Questions Aplenty

Have you really wondered what your true calling in life was? I mean, most of you have the rest of your life (or at least the next five years of it) planned out according to your likes and dislikes, your wants and needs. What if God has something else for you? What if you have decided to study medicine and become a medical practioner but God actually wants you to be an evangelist or something? Or (let's make it simpler) you have decided to be an accountant when God really wants you to be a business man and reach out to those whom you come into contact with? What if you want to do everything you have dreamed of since you were young but God wants you to work for Him? Would you give up everything just to please Him? Do you have a special calling upon your life? How can you be sure? How do you know it when God calls you?
Have you ever thought about this?

Well, one thing's for sure; I shall live one day at a time and trust God that I become who He wants me to be in His own perfect timing. I sure don't want to throw away my entire destiny and live the rest of my life in regret..

The Anti-Valentine's Day Post. Not really.

Valentine's Day, Valentine's Day. Yes, I'm gonna write a post that is somehow in a way, related to Valentine's Day instead of CNY. Well, I don't know. CNY wasn't really thought provoking or anything such as that. I guess.

Well, first off, my comp has finally (finally, finally) been repaired but is seems that there are still tiny little problems with it. Okay, maybe that was an understatement. There's something wrong with some card thingy. Whatever. So, right now, I'm blogging off my dad's laptop. Right.

Valentine's Day (I shall call it V'Day hence forward) is assiociated with love (like durh) and eveything lovey-dovey and romantic (double durh). I know every young human at about this time of the year somehow thinks or feels something about love and dating due to the outrage of hormones that God Himself has created as well as the much celebrated V'Day. (I'm blabbering, mind me). So I shall reveal to you 5 reasons as to why I do not, and will not date till I think the right time has come for moi.

A bit ironic isn't it? Or maybe it's a paradox?. Here it is in no particular arrangement:

1. This is not God's will for me at the moment.
Yes, I know you guys have heard this phrase at least 346 times but really, there's a time for everything like in the book of Eclesiastes. So right now, I shall (try to) be a good student and study my pants off without daydreaming about "my man-who-is-actually-a-half-boy-aka-guy" like how my friend admits to doing; during really boring lessons.

2. I want to be a woman in love with a man, not a girl infatuated with a guy.
Enough said.

3. People change. Especially young people.
Hey, I'm so different now than when I was say, half a year ago. God is shaping the character in us, our inner being. Let us not rush into something when our self is not ready. It's like plucking a half-bloomed rose. Let it bloom to it's maximum beauty before plucking it. Let yourself bloom into the rose that God wants you to be before venturing into love.

4. How do you love another imperfect person when you can't love you imperfect self?
Okay, so maybe you are so in love with yourself that you melt away when you gaze into the mirror. But then, you'll be a narcissist. What I mean is, only those who are able to love themselves despite their shortcomings (a healthy kind of love, mind you) are able to love another person. I don't think I love myself enough. Yet.
5. I won't have the guts to! And don't know how to!
Hahah! What a very weird reason. I don't want my parents to kill me (not literally of course) and parents do know best. Yes, and I'm not the kind of girl who can mix with guys easily and all, and it would me a mad event if I was to make any kind of first move. And it doesn't help that I'm starting to call myself a BLA as well. I shall wait for God to break my shyness and provide the man. Hahah!


A total change of mood:
I'm starting to think that the piano is kinda lame. Maybe it will be removed from my mind soon? What joy!


Alone but not lonely, us girls. We always have each other and Christ, right?
