I always wake up having the same routine. Working to earn for a living, eating food to satisfy hunger and sleeping, a reward for a hectic day. But then I'm tired and bored, I wanted to try new things, to explore beautiful places, to discover new stuffs and most importantly to unwind. Ever-since I started working that has been my dream (of course aside from becoming a financially independent individual) until now I'm still waiting and hoping for that precious moment.
I'm Asian and here in Asia we are "shame people". We don't do wrong/immoral things because we might give disgrace or shame to our family. It's a widespread culture, others may agree or disagree but it really exists in the Philippines, Korea, Japan, China, India, Saudi Arabia and etc. Like me, I also wanted to try few things but then my neighbors will definitely criticize me and I'm bothered that my parents will suffer. I don't buy their opinions however my family is at risk. Well, I will not be doing criminal actions and or immoral acts (I'm not paranoid to do that), I just wanted to try new things maybe new field of interest, new job and a new place. I think it's not too much to ask but I still have a lot of priorities and I guess this is it.
Sometimes I feel like I'm alone, I'm working too hard but not smart enough. I have friends for sure,they're good, trustworthy and lovable people. Words are not adequate to articulate this feeling. The loneliness will end for a short while because whenever this "ill-feeling" is dominating in my system I always reminisce the beautiful wonders that God has done in my life. Whenever I remember those things, I'm grateful for everything. I have a good job (though it is really stressful), a supportive family and surrounded by happy friends. But still something or someone makes me incomplete (I'm not longing for a perfect life, it's impossible anyway) and I guess the readers knew it. (LOL)
Maybe we have the same situation, we wanted to try new things yet we have a lot of things to consider, to accomplish not only for the benefit of ourselves but for the welfare of others. We sometimes feel we carry the loads of the world, we feel like we're alone and we wanted to relax and have fun. Guys, there is only a thin line between being Alone and being Lonely. We can be alone but we are not lonely. (A bit odd?) We may be alone because we are a way from the family but we have the choice not to be lonely.
We should welcome God in our life despite the typhoons in our lives. If and only if we acknowledge the presence of God, we welcome positivity, patience, understanding and wisdom. God is the creator, He is the inventor, He can definitely fix the broken pieces of our lives. I was a total mess before but then when I started to be serious in my faith, I'm beginning to gain strength, confidence in what I do and patience believing God owns time. I'm happy I chose Him and stayed with Him because I have witnessed His works in my life. We may fail sometimes, we even might fall to deep excavation or hit by fallen debris but for sure we are blessed because He is with us. His love sustains us and we gain knowledge and strength through Him. It's so wonderful to be beside Him. You will know the purpose of your life if you learn to accept Christ and acknowledge Him as our Lord. Success is also different from Prosperity. We can be successful yet we are not prosperous. With Christ, we can be both successful and prosperous at the same time. Love God and love life.
"Be still and know that I am God"
Have a good and blessed day readers!
