  • Romance

    It's so hard liking someone.. I mean, acting normal, ya know? And this is not intentional liking but against my will. :(

    Then I start to analyze and over-analyze and everything like that. booooo.

  • Hidden Opposition

    Yay! It's my birthday today; I'll probably do a separate post for that.

    Well, those feelings are slowly creeping back into my life; I know that and God knows that. And I guess to a certain degree, I'm glad no one else knows. Or perhaps I'd like other people to know but what difference would that make? I don't know why I sometimes believe more in fake sincerity than in actual genuity.

    I feel like I'm losing ground. I know I just need to trust in God and...

    Fall back on everything You've done
    Fall back on everlasting arms
    When all the world is swept away
    You are all the things I need
    You're the air I breathe

    but it's becoming increasingly difficult and it's like I'm waging this internal war inside of me. Feelings of inadequacy, forlorness, hopelessness, rejection and to some extent, anger as a result of my frustrations. It's a battle to do, not what I feel like doing, but what God would have me do and as so many other people have simply said, "move on." I'm afraid if I talk once again about this issue to anyone else, with the exception of just one or two people, they'll just tell me the same thing they've already said before, thinking, "again? I thought we dealt with this already" and maybe prayer is the only way to resolve this anguish in my heart.

    And then I get to blaming myself and others.

    I suppose what I would really appreciate is someone who will just listen to me and support me as I try to battle out the conjecture invading my mind, even if it continually recurs. And that tells you I can't think of anyone who would (perhaps except God but I have this image in my mind where He wants me to do something active about it. Could I? I probably could but the hopeless side of me is saying, "it's not going to do you or other people good anyway.") You know what? I hate it too but (this but is where I feel like I'm this whiny kid who needs attention; another reason why I keep my feelings to myself & a lot of people may not want to hear what I have to say so.. what's the use in trying?) it's something that needs to be dealt with and preferably not alone because I don't want these thought patterns engulfing, and ultimately, destroying the progress I've achieved thus far.

    Maybe I just think too much. I dislike it when people (seem to) have implied meaning behind every word or action. And maybe that's the devil working overtime in my head but I just feel like I need someone who can keep me accountable and can be my strength embodied physically. hah. Any takers? I thought not.

    Or perhaps it's because I hate the position I'm in right now. I realize, however, that I am limited by my own vision that is a lot more critical than God's and even other people's visions. From my POV, I'm looking through a glass window. I feel like cutting off my feelings but God doesn't want a heart of stone, not when He's worked especially hard to pry it open in the first place. Or I could just isolate myself but that would not yield any positive results either.

    I really need to just trust in God more..

    EDIT: God told me that He'd work through me to heal the brokenhearted and lonely. Instead of looking at what I lack, I need to concentrate on what OTHERS lack. I do not lack at all. God has blessed me with so much yet I still cry out for more. Why? I can't help but think that maybe God has something awesome for me in store this week since satan butchered my feelings/emotions this weekend. At the same time, I'm still struggling to keep them in check and in line with God's will.

  • Birthday wishes

    Hey hey! Usually when this time of year rolls around, I wait in anticipation for what I might get. Surprisingly, what I wanted in the past no longer applies now. Before I could come up with an entire list of things that I wanted (mostly CDs.. haha. not that I have any objection to receiving any now) but my views are very different now. My main birthday wish is to have people spend time with me. Weird, eh? I did not think I would ever say that but there it is. I don't know what God's been doing but He's sure changed me (a lot within these past few months).

    I always wished people wouldn't forget my birthday and that I'd get lots of presents but this year's different. I'll be missing this past year. It's kinda weird how I don't appreciate the age I'm at until half the year has gone by. I hope to change that! haha. But really, if I could just have a meal with people or have some one-on-one time with others; that would definitely be the best present(s) I could get.

    :)

    Besides that, all I have to say is, thank You, God, for always being there when nobody else was.

    P.S. Lately, I've really been getting into Khalil Fong 方大同 (Wonderland), Jay Chou (Still Fantasy, Incomparable Concert), Tension (Story), FAMA 農夫 and Justin Lo. :D As for my favorite alternative musicians, Sanctus Real, Tobymac and Brandon Heath.

    add on: ..and I've been discovering I want memory verse (scripture) cards (to beat down the devil with.. hahaha). What else? I'm afraid of big crowds so if anyone would like to (attempt to) teach me how to play any instrument (pref. one-on-one), I'd like to try anything out. :) Thanks ahh.

  • God is awesome :)

    Although I'm still not really sure of where I'm going in the future (specifically what college & all that good career stuff), I'm just glad God is working on/through me in the present.

    Mm.. I'm still learning a whole bunch of things (esp. how to be a "leader") and have a way more lot to go but I'm sure God will bring me through all of that.

    I don't know why I have the need to say all of this (which isn't much anyway) but I just do.

    For the longest time I felt like I was in a rut and although, yes, some things have been becoming easier (in a sense, such as Bible reading and in general, obedience) I sometimes felt like there was no progress (not just in my life there wasn't progress but in other areas connected to my life.. if that makes sense). Well, God's finally showed me a way (or, err.. radical disciplship finally clicked in my head) I can be a RADICAL disciple of Jesus but I'm not sure if I can do it. Of course, ultimately, when I give everything to God (my life, thoughts, actions, etc) He can do it through me.

    So I guess that's what I'm struggling with. REALLY LIVING RADICAL DISCIPLESHIP, OBEDIENCE instead of DISOBEDIENCE in oh so many forms: delayed "obedience," fighting with God, letting my own "shyness" and fears override God's will and outright refusal to follow in God's will.

    I need to give 100% of everything to God.

    :) So how are y'all doing? Or well.. just you one ;)
