I've taken a break 4 a while

Hope you don't mind, just 2 reassess some things in my life. You know life's all about the change we're willing to acquire. The amount of change we are willing to include in our lives, is how we are gonna end up some day.

Lost, left waiting for the world to change around us. The problem with that is that the world is changing but alas it's changing for the worst. We are living with more and more death, homicide, suicides than the world has ever experienced. The tsunami doesn't help matters now does it?

We start to feel helpless, unable to "change the world", how can we living a small insignificant lives, with just a dot on the timeline of creation.

God knows that, He knows how we feel, and pouring out our heart to him is a start, to tell Him how we are feeling at all times. He is infact the ultimate councillor, and wants to hear and listen to us.

He wants to see how we choose to go about things without him, watching us fail hopelessly, must be humorous for Him. Until He intervenes in our lives, we cannot change the world for the better; we cannot spread the word of Jesus without offering our lives as sacrifices for His purpose, His will.

Of course we always hear that the small things are irrelevant but then someone says “the small things matter”. We start to ponder do they? How small? Is there a scale? Are my problems big enough?

Recently my nice black Billabong trucker hat, kinda like the Quiksilver one here, got stolen. Now usually someone would be bummed about it, but I wasn"t its not about what you loose its about what you gain, count your blessings.

There is no scale, and in this current world, we get taught to stand up for ourselves, we get mocked and humiliated everytime we show a slight sign of weakness or vulnerability.

Its not meant to be like that. The alpha male, the man of the house, the masculine, rugby playing, 120kg man, I'm afraid isn't realistic and never was.

We need to learn to be able to reach out to our friends our mentors, that not-so-older generation. The people we look up to, who have been through and know the ropes of being a teenager or above (depending on your age) we need to reach out to them. Make time and be available; to be able to attend some sort of unity group or cell/life group is a must. To encourage and be encouraged, grow and learn we all need it.

To think you can run your own life, take a back seat, it doesn't work like that, a little backsliding there a bit of sin here, its all good hey? No I'm afraid its just not good enough.

If we want to be amped for God, we need to set up some restrictions on our own lives, have accountability partners and have a bit of self and spiritual discipline please.

Discipline, obedience, regulation some control over what we want to do. we all need it, sort out our lives before its too late.
