Do not worry

As much as I have read this passage in Matthew, I never feel like I can place down all my worries. That feeling of uncertainty and possibility for failure always gets me.

However, worrying always reminds me of the simple yet precious things I should be grateful for. These are also the things that I find true and genuine value in. And with this, I find some peace :) I hope whatever you are worrying about today, that you will be able to think of those things that truly make you happy and thankful, so that you will be able to find your own peace.

Jesus tells us, "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own" - Matthew 6:34
Living in faith is actually so great because God just asks us to follow Him. Everything else is already ready for us.

If you are worried and afraid of failure, I have a quote my friend told me today which is, "Success is going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm". I hope we can stay positive and confront failure fearlessly.

This is what I am consistently aiming to work towards.

Shot Down...again.

Being upset and discouraged about my failures only shows the lack of faith I have in God.
HE has the best plan for me.

HE will provide everything.. 

HE is God. 

So.....what's next? :)

DO

Don't just think, but DO.
Many times I think I believe, I think I care, I just think.
I really need to show that, I need to do that.

Refreshed

There are a few things I learned these past few weeks that I wanted to share:

- Never think you can't, because when you think that...How will you be able to succeed?
- When you face failure, there is something you can ALWAYS get out of it; whether it is a realization, an experience, a lesson, or even a friendship - there is always something there. So don't stop looking and keep striving. Do not be discouraged!
- Have hope. I am filled with so much peace whenever I call to God. I really feel that He always listens and has the wisdom to give us the best, even if it's something I don't expect.

I just want to take this time to thank my special someone for the continuous encouragement too :). HL I'm so thankful that you believe in me, even when I sometimes don't believe in myself. Sounds cheesy but you have shown me that I am capable of great things as long as I think I can.

....And that goes for everybody - we can all achieve the great goals we set for ourselves through carrying a strong mentality. Let's build on that attitude.

"Let your hope make you glad. Be patient in time of trouble and never stop praying." - Romans 12:12

There is None Like You

Who can ever love us so unconditionally?
Who has already planned the rest of our lives for us?
Who listens to not only our voices, but our hearts?
Who opens the perfect doors for us?
Who forgives us over and over and over again?
Who understands us more than we can ever understand ourselves?
Who takes away our shame and renews us completely?
Who sheds our brokenness and makes us whole again?
Who treasures us more than the most valuable treasure in the world?
Who is the beginning and the end?

There is only one - and there is none like you.

"There is none like You,
No one else can touch my heart like You do,
I can search for all eternity Lord
And find, there is none like You"

And breathe...

Prayer....
....it's such an amazing remedy.

Finding the perfect "Two"

Relationships - they can be sweet, sour, simple and complex. As a Christian, you would think in order to be in a relationship, you must find someone that's Godly and compatible. Maybe he or she has the same hobbies as you. Maybe he or she goes to church and serves God. Maybe he or she is smart and has a great sense of humour. Maybe he or she satisfies that "criteria" of yours and therefore, becomes the perfect "one". 

To just clarify, I am not a relationship expert at all, but I believe we actually need to look for the perfect "two". Why? If I seek a relationship for life, I need to seek one intimate relationship, which is with God aka the ONE. God should be the one and my spouse should be the two. Sometimes the question I ask myself is "How do I find the right person for me?". And to be honest, that is the wrong question to ask. I really should be asking, "Who am I and who am I created for?" Who am I called to be?

If you are single right now, be content! Don't try to fill the void. Take this space to figure out who you are and rest in God's timing. And if you are in a relationship, take time together to reflect where God's place is in your relationship. God really does want the best for us. 

So....

Instead of constantly trying to find the perfect "two", meditate on the fact that the perfect "one" has already found you :) God bless.
