It has been a long time since i 've written about the my thoughts. I think time to time, the momentum can lead to speed, when really we need to slow down. I find my self very stressed, leaving my self in awkward positions, all because i dont know how to relax or be calm. I dont think tea nor a message can help me through this, it has to be that i'm thinking too much. I realize that the curves in life are like stop signs, it is a road that needs control not speed. Ever heard about the story of the tortoise and the hare? It's about similar to the race in life, not like there is anything too competetive about it any ways. The turtle kept pushing, driving himself, and motivating himself in the belief that he can out run the hare.
Recently i am doing a book project on The Last Lecture. I actually recomend this book to all you readers. One quote that i drew me was:" If someone has stopped trying to discipline you or help you change, that person has given up on your life." I think the only person to ever give up on you, is yourself. That brings me to the topic of religion. All religion, save for the extereme ones, share beliefs of changing a man to become a better person. This type of teaching is found common but expressed in different forms. Christianity, states that you who become whole in the spirit and find a relationship with God will enter the gates of heaven, which is a utopia of a believer. I stress the point of relationship. I have slowed down enough to realize that the church can teach different things. Many preach about abundance, many preach about a new life with god, but few preach about the honest love of/for God. You must understand that my position here gives me no right to bash any church, and that is not what my point is. The point is that, when there is no genuine love for God in the first place, there can never really be any form of stable ground for teaching. I think love can be aquired if sought, but cut short when blocked.
It is easy to be caught in the hustle and bustle of church life, that saving people has become a business of profit and gain rather than out of compassion and love. Do you sincerely reach out to your neighbors, or are you doing that because you dont want to let the church down. Do you want to become a part of the growing system, or do you have a genuine love for your freind that you want to spend eternity with them? I believe that this hustle and bustle is the cause of misconceptions of visions and prophecies. I love God, i really do. But such kind of a business-like-branch-concept is simply not working out for me. Where can i find God peacefully and really catch his presence? The bible says its in your secret place that you find him. I'm not going to debate about this, because really.. there is nothing to debate about. If you read my blog, which i also believe is very few people, you must know that i am subjected to my own opinions and you yours.
Slow down. Take a breath. Have you noticed the scent of the air around you? The sound around you? Listen to your heart and your brain...because when both work together there is nothing you cant do.
