So, fourth of June we met again.
First day of class and I feel so alive. (a very rare case)
So, I woke up early and went to school early,...
LOL WOW
We all have many interesting and diverse crossroads in our lives. A crossroad can either be defined as an intersection of two paths or...

“What’s wrong with death sir? What are we so mortally afraid of? Why can’t we treat death with a certain amount of humanity and dignity, and decency, and God forbid, maybe even humor. Death is not the enemy gentlemen. If we’re going to fight a disease, let’s fight one of the most terrible diseases of all, indifference”

God is a jealous God. But it doesn’t mean He is self centered or authoritarian but it means that He is the only one that deserves all glory, beyond all fame and honour. Why? Because the world and our lives is not about us, and if it would, He knew that we alone cannot handle it. I love the way the Pop artist Kelly Clarkson illustrates it after the burn in the spotlight:
“Sometimes I think this job will be the death of us all, or at least the emotional death of us all.
Maybe that is why as a little kid in Sunday school I learned that God didn’t wan’t false gods or idols. I thought it was terribly selfish of God as a child but I think I get it now. He didn’t wan’t us following people or things that are imperfect and not so much for the followers but for the gods and/or idols who will never be what everyone wishes or needs them to be because we are made imperfect.
He knew we wouldn’t be able to handle the pressure, the shame, the glory, or the power the spotlight brings.”
See? The world is not about us, but about Him. Only his! So take off your eyes upon yourself. Life is not about pleasing ourselves, nor pleasing others, but pleasing Him, and that is what only matters.
Have a great Sunday Tumblr People ;)
This is why I love Brooke Fraser so much and how she became my influence. Also, I can relate so much in this passage; it’s a sort of a reflection of my own journey too.
“My most powerful moments of ministry have not been, and will not be, on the stage. They’ve been sitting, knee to knee, in a darkened church side room with a 12 year old girl whose father has abandoned her for his new family. They’ve been on an international flight next to a Brit rocker, who, intrigued by a hymn album I had in my CD wallet, asked if I was religious. I replied, “No, I’m not religious, but I’m really into Jesus,” prompting him to put down what he was doing and asking me to talk to him about that. They’ve been crying with a producer in the dressing room of an Australian television network studio as God overwhelmed us both with His love for her. They’ve been singing “Shout to the Lord” to a group of orphans on the side of the road in Rwanda. They’ve been kneeling in prayer with a single mother out the back of a pub in the Waikato after a show, broken glass digging into our knees.”
