What’s Right, Humility & Patience
3 Lessons God has been trying to ingrain in me.
So often we know what’s right: Do not gossip, do not lie, do not say unwholesome words, do not have sex, do no wrong. But often time and again we fall short of God’s standards, and think that everything will be fine when we lower our own standards. We lose sight of what’s right, we compromise. God made His rules and His standards, to protect us, from all of world’s harm. But again I’ve let God down, taking things in my own stride.
“They are so terrible they embarrass me.” Pride; something I know I struggle with. What aunty mary shared the other day hit me: Are you driven because you genuinely want the other to grow, or because you don’t want them to be an embarrassment, so that you’d look good? I need to learn to let go of my over-competitive behaviour and let God. I need to enjoy sailing, for sailing.
Time and again God has been placing me in teaching situations, always starting from zero. It is tiring, but God doesn’t change the situations because He wants to change my character. With Benita, with Cheryl, with the NTU Team, with the WUC team.
The other troubling thing is school, and THIRTEEN, or so we call ourselves. We have not been very good friends and outcasting people and it’s not the kind of friends I want to be hanging out with. I need to stand up, out and do what’s right.
I’ve missed you.
Year 1 has passed. Yay?
Summer break planned with training, coaching, church camp and hopefully, whenever your free time meets mine, I’d be with you.
Booking air tickets, accommodation, planning trips; not easy.
At least after day 2 of the holiday, number 1 on the list is done: File all notes (Mine & Jovina’s)
❝ I’m not fascinated by people who smile all the time. What I find interesting is the way people look when they are lost in thought, when their face becomes angry or serious, when they bite their lip, the way they glance, the way they look down when they walk, when they are alone, when they smirk, the way they half smile, the way they try and hold back tears, the way when their face says they want to say something but can’t, the way they look at someone they want or love… I love the way people look when they do these things. It’s… beautiful. ❞

Ikea’s released the manual for that cardboard digital camera!
It’s called the KNÄPPA.
