He plans

How often do we plan things way ahead of time yet things turned out the total opposite? Not just something simple like weekend plans or plans for the night, but those plans for the future? Your dreams and wishes of how you would like to see yourself in 5 years.... or what you often tell yourself when you were (once) young "what would I want to be when I grow up..."

I looked back at my own and see how much I have diverted from what I was hoping I would be when I am at this age in my life when I was young. How I would have envisioned myself of being married with kids, raising my own family, having my own house, and able to live comfortably, not lavisihly but just a simple comfortable life.

And look at me today. hahahaha... far from what I would ever dream of... FAR FAR from what I would have wanted to be... Im not married, not even in any form of relationship, I do not owned a house, I still live with my family...but one thing is that, I am living comfortably right now...and then i look at all my classmates or those younger than me, majority are married with kids! And me.....im just finally starting out to live my dreams... in terms of my career and subsequently hopefully in life too...

Well, the point is this. We plan and wish and dream so much for out future, we work towards it, yet things will not always be what we expected it to be. All because, we do not plan, but Him above.

you can ask me if I am feeling sad to see all my friend happily married with their own family, i do not deny that I do, but the point is to not to be empathetic of your own life by comparing with them, but rather be thankful for what you are today. they may be looking at us and being envy of our singlehood and shining career too. Hence, the grass is always greener on the other side.

Henceforth, i have stopped planning and being sad about how I end up today, that is still unmarried nor no plans for such, but rather be happy for what I have achieve thus far. It is more important to be contented with your ownlife that to be unworthy when comparing with others. Every one is different, He planned it differently for everyone He created. We just have to accept that things are how they are meant to be and live it to the bestest of our abilities.

Yes, it is easier said than done, but not impossible. Learn to live in the present. No regrets. Amen.

unworthy

It's been three months since my last post.... so fast time flies..... Well, i wouldn't want to speak about what happened over the past three months.. but rather speak something very randomly that is bonggling the mind.. How often do we do our best in whatever tasks that is given, but the credit still goes to someone else? as much as we choose to ignore it, the dust is never easy to be bitten... the effort and time to help, and yet, those who were suppose to do it, choose to ignore it, while i become the scape goat for all the nonsense that wasn't even mine in the first place. it is really unfairness to its maxmum. and as much as it is against my life principle to be brought down so easily, but i just could not do much, knowing that i am legally bound to what is being contracted to me.. haizzz..life and all its obstacles... as much as i hope to persevere through all these, as much as i hope to leave as well... So much that i have gone through the past 9 years, and ne...

Not easy

Mixed feelings ...that's how i have been feeling lately..things came and go...causing perturbation to the mind...confusion, distraction, unsure of what to do...or even worse, dont know how to feel; dont know how to even portray the right emotions..(hahaha this brings back memories of what i learnt in my personality class....) things have been happening around me, thankfully, not directly to me lah...but somehow, indirectly, it affected me to a certain extend as well Some of my friends were in trouble lately, big trouble i shall say...i feel so bad for them, but somehow i just can't help much, because there is nothing much that i can help to solve it....all i can do is just to lend my ear to them, to be a platform for them to let things out of their shell...because speaking from experience, it is certainly very hard to just keep everything to oneself...slowly it will cause the body and mind to rot...hehe...too exaggerating pulak...hahahahaha .. anyhow, it was a lesson not just f...

Falling soldier

i saw this on the facebook page the other day and it hit me straight away... is this the explaination for all that has happened and is to happen? i'm doubting am i a strong soldier in the first place to be given such battles.... and then again, as i reflect back on the hard and tough few weeks before, and then with the annoucement from the Holy Father of his resignation, i wonder how hard it would have been for the Pope the past few weeks for him to come to that decision to resign... it would be so much more anguish and anxiety which i might have just had a little of it in comparison to how it must have been for him... it would been such a difficult time for him to discern his real calling and to come to a decision knowing that it will have various consequences..i personally think that he is indeed a man of courage to come out with such a heavy decision but surely with God's guidance along the way. he is indeed a man of faith and place his whole trust in God when he decide...
