HELLO EVERYONE!
I GOT 125 MARKS FOR PIANO EXAM! (Merit)
PRAISE BE TO GOD!
WOOHOO!
Hi God,
I am 'painting' my nails with water that has a slightly orange tinge, leftover from my watercolour painting.
No, this is not breaking school rules, but because I can't find a time to walk all the way to the nearest toilet (which isn't all that near) to dump it away. Anyway, the water dries up as soon as it is applied. What's left behind - nothing.
It is fun!
I would like to write a half-post to my friend, who is sitting next to me now but anyway:
Hello Bump,
Thank you for being so understanding (which is very hard, I know.), and I appreciate you for being a true friend - you have passed the test! Because a true friend is one who knows (and dares!) to let go of their own. Thank you thank you thank you! You are indeed one of a kind. God bless you in EVERYTHING you do, and may you ALWAYS be happy. :D
Last night I read Elizabeth George's 'A young woman's walk with God' on the topic of Gentleness. Gentleness, is one of the fruit of the Spirit.
It is the 'Fruit of Power' because having a gentle heart is NOT as easy as it sounds.
Possessing gentleness means to 'take it'. To be able to withstand cold stares, mean words and harsh actions from others - while at the same time, refusing to be angry or impatient, refusing to rebut or retaliate. To undergo tremendous pressure, at the same time to have that never-ending trust in God as well as absolutely refuse to complain. Gentleness is MEEKNESS, not WEAKNESS.
What a hard but fulfilling fruit to master! The bible says, these hearts with this fruit of gentleness are indeed rare and hard-to-find, but those who possess it glimmer like the most beautiful gems and jewels in all the earth.
There was A LOT in the chapter, but it ended with a list of what you should do today to achieve gentleness.
Here it is:
1. Pray for gentleness
2. Trust in the Lord
3. Refuse to be angry/irritated at ANYONE (Friends, Parents, Siblings, Grandparents etc.)
4. Refuse to complain about ANYTHING (amount of homework, how hard a test was etc, because complaining shows distrust in the Lord and his plans for you and your future.)
Alrights, PBL now.
GTG!
