i'm back here again for another post! hahah and just a side comment, i really really like my new blogskin! hahah full of meaning :D
anyway, i've been crowned the "Queen of slacker" by my friend just now! haha and i suppose i cant deny and what's more, royalty is awesome! hahah but seriously, despite the fact that i did not go out and work this holiday, (cuz working will just make my everyday be soo dreary and routine...plus this is like the last long holiday i would EVER have if i dont pursue my honors! haha) i believe i can still say that this holiday is a really meaningful one...did alot of things, met alot of people, received alot of blessings and i suppose just rest and recharge myself. :P and i've been blogging more often too! my average blog posts per year is about 14... and this half year alone, i've already did like 8 or 9 posts? ahhah
and i really like this revealation my fren had,
heavy rain doesn't cause flooding. It's the failure to contain the waters that cause the flooding. Likewise with everything else in life.Indeed, flooding is caused by the inability to contain the rain. Likewise, in our life, trials and problems are not the ones that cause the unhappiness, stress and hopelessness. It is our inability to deal with them, to think positively, to trust in God for everything that causes us to lose hope, to be annoyed at what is happening, to be angry at the people around us. Rain is a positive thing, naturally, it brings water to the plants, it provides water for the dams and is a part of a natural process (i'm sorry that my geog is not that good! haha). Also, rain cools the weather, rain brings comfort, rain inspires. Similarly, problems and difficulties teaches us how we can be stronger, show us that we can lean upon God's strength, give us the chance to better ourselves. Rain doesn't cause the flooding, and problems do not cause the unhappiness in our lives. It is when we choose to be closed up, to give up hope, to think that our lives are terrible, that is when we close off the outlet for where the rain can flow, and thus, the rain when it has no where to go, will overwhelm the place and flooding takes place. We can, if we choose to do so, keep that outlet open with positive thinking, with actions, with trusting in God's promises. And then, we will never be overwhelmed by the floods in our lives, as we learn to increase the capacity in us.
