My heart was full. I got to spend the day with these amazing people. They have a mission in life and it amazes me to see the faith they have to accomplish it. I learnt from them that society can say demeaning things about you but if you set your mind to something, you can achieve it. The scripture "Blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the Earth" came alive. 
What they do is not easy. What they sacrifice for their children is not fun. What they eat, drink is not the best. Where they sleep is not luxurious but what they have is something money can't buy nor any man provide. Happiness.. Something today's world struggles to find. I learnt that everyday is made better when you learn to enjoy the simple things in life. 
Money won't last.. Fame won't last.. Love will last.. Joy will last.. 
What a day! I can never forget. 

Sometimes we think other people need help. People who don't earn as much as us or people who don't have the things we have. Sometimes it can be the other way round. It can be people like us (caught up with the pressures of the world) who need help. When you set your mind to something, distractions can get in the way. Specially for people who know/exposed to much, falling off track is easy coz we don't see it coming (or sometimes jus don't admit to being off-track). But having simple desires and big dreams can be the perfect balance to life. Finding happiness in the things we do can take us to achieve the dreams we have dreamed for ourselves. 
Oh what a day!

Walking into 2017

Looking back at 2016 brings back so many emotions. It was a year of letting go some relationships that held deep emotional value, letting go of projects that I thought were of high worth, and making some of life's toughest choices. I learned truly that without pain, there is no gain. I do, however want to say that in every step of the way, God has been there for me. Every time my mind said there possibly could not be another way, God came in and said, "this is the way. Walk in it." Every time I chose to obey and walk in it, the pain that came with making that decision was non-existent. It felt so light putting my trust in one who I know would not disappoint and who sees things farther than what I see. Knowing what He wanted me to do was not easy. I had to struggle to find the will of God. I went through physical pain, mental stress, emotional exhaustion and just plain hitting a wall, knowing I can't move anymore. Amidst that distress, one tear from the bottom of my...

Second Life

I came across this phase called the second life in one of my text books. I did some research on life after death and wanted to find out what the similarities were to second life. For those of you who don't know what second life is.. Second life is like avatar land (for lack of a better term). People go into sleep mode or a gaming console and begin a video game life. This time it's not game but it's actual life where you can have a salon, church, family, grocery store.. Whatever you want. The one good thing about it is you actually get paid for what you do. Be it income or investment, it will all be transferred to your bank account. So yes, you can make money with your eyes closed. http://secondlife.com/whatis/ Here's an article about how second life affects real life http://www.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,1739601,00.html Turns out, what you are in your head is what you are in second life. You are the judge of who you are. Well, this makes me want to say tha...

Just take a break. Go wander.

I wanted to start writing this post with something intelligent to say but honestly, I can't think of anything. So here it goes.. I took a break. For a whole week. No phone (well, I had it on but didn't use the internet as much). So, kinda no phone. No work. No homework. Just pure vacation, enjoying the outside world.  It did me so much good. It was so relaxing to put myself in a world I wasn't familiar with. I didn't speak their language. Took the local transport. Experienced the city-agendaless (if that's even a word). It was the best thing that I could gift to myself.  One thing that I learned from that trip was that my quiet time changed. The morning sessions with God was so beautiful. Usually, it would be "Good morning God. This, this and this is happening. I need help with this and that. What do I do with all these things in front of me?" As if He didn't know the things taking place in my life... but for the first time, I voluntarily let my ...
