Fearless. Riding on a roller coaster

What a weird feeling to see someone holding onto someone else when you know he once loved another girl.

At that moment, I wasnt sure about eternity
When two people once were so closed and believed they would be together forever,
how disappointing when one turned back and loved another person?

1.02am, I felt I didnt belong there at all.
People seemed like having an amazing time around me. 
And how many of them were aware of what they were doing?
How many of them were truly having a good time, or just showing people they are having a good time?

One told me "you only know how to appreciate alcohol when you have experienced its greatness"

I said "like you only know you really believe in Jesus when you have experienced his greatness"

Laugh, just laugh at me here.

Suddenly, I fear, fear of people around me.
What if things went out of control?
I had to leave, really have to.

Despite after having such a long day of work, no toilet break, non-digestible lunch

I understand the temptation to just go wild and free, and just NOT having to worry or think about anything and enjoy the presence.

After tired of faith going up and down hill constantly, and re-thinking all the goods and bads in the past
tending to find a way out of this.

Even just for that very split moment

I want to let go of faith, that I think it's restricting me, putting me in all sort of difficult situations
Yet I know I have to hold on to it.

How can we say we dont like food but we still eat? Because we need to survive.

I fear the temptation of giving up yourself for sins.

Yet, I fear more losing interest in living.

When life not matters to you anymore, there is nothing else to care.

Then it hits me.

When we lose our ambition, doesnt care about anything or even your own life, perhaps, it's self-defending.

Because, life is so unpredictable.
Before you scream, your journey on the roller coaster already ends.

I began to pray,
one thing I would remember by heart today

you only know it's sweet, when you have experienced the bitter and sour part of life

When life is too perfect, then is this really "living"?
The breath you take when you are happy probably a lot smoother than those moment you felt like pain is taking your breath away.

You probably not enjoying the bitter part, but do believe, you then would really get to appreciate the sweetness in life

Be Fearless, 

in other words, 

believe 

believe and enjoy all the up and downs.
laugh out loud, cry out loud and dont miss out a thing

Tears brought us closer

It's never been so painful since last Christmas.

Though been dealing with all the struggles after all these months, it came to a point where I got lost and not able to see where I am and where I am heading to.

When I ask God for help, i want to know exactly the right way to love.

When I said I want to give up, I thought this is the right thing to do and I would feel peace at heart for doing something that I thought God would appreciate.

But after having said that, I couldnt feel the peace.

Unlike last time, I knew it was right to keep a distance. At Christmas, it was painful but i could feel the peace.

This time I couldnt, whether becos the love has grown even stronger than before, or...perhaps I was really discouraged and lost.

I feel today, theres a reason why I ve made the decision to find you, to be there for you.
I want to know, I prayed and asked God.

when we both gave in ourselves and the truthful tears

nothing can replace it

Even I am the only one focusing on God, I shall protect both of us because I should believe that since i ve made the decision, God is walking with me.

Unless one day He has to take you away from me, then I'll obey and accept.

let now...we could both rest in His Arm, enjoying the seed of peace growing within our heart.

Thanks for your hand, for holding on to mine tightly.

Temptation is not a sin

Temptation is not a sin
Our decision determines what sin is.

It's true,

temptation is everywhere

Our final decision, our action counts.

Facing a temptation, I decided to run.
Because I cannot test out my limit, when I know from the beginning, theres no bottom line for all sinners.

I cannot stop temptations.

Just like a kid, if he sees candies in front of him, it is not a sin.
But if he decided to disobey rules and steal the candies, it's a sin.

At the end of the day, it's our greed that needs to be blamed.
Isnt it?

And I am grateful that beyond all these, we can really enjoy true freedom because of HIM.

God I am truly grateful, I really do.
