June has come.

Things are a rough patch at home. In fact, it had always been. I just don’t have a reason to share it to anybody. I need things to change, I need to keep going.

You are the peace that guards my heart
My help in times of need

That’s a good change.

Keep it up.

Birthdays.

Few years ago, I had this talk with Bridget. I was sharing with her that I was disappointed with my 18th birthday celebration. The organiser was a very good friend of mine so I was really expecting it would at least be better than the year before. It wasn’t. And when I asked him why, he told me I shouldn’t have demands for it. Bridget however told me that it isn’t wrong to expect, or even to demand (to some extent), because that is the only time in a year that we are supposed to feel like kings and queens. That assured me, because I believe in planning good birthdays or else I don’t.

Ever since, I would love to plan a good one for anyone if I had willingly take up the task. Nobody should tell me to do lesser than good unless they want their own to be a letdown.

Spiritual bodybuilding.

There’s too much noise in current society. Enough to drown God’s voice in our lives. Stay close to God, be familiar with His voice.

Pray on all occasions.

Ephesians 6:18-20
¹⁸ And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people. ¹⁹ Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, ²⁰ for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should.

Faith does not rest on man’s words or man’s wisdom. Faith is about God, not myself.

Lord, if I even find myself skillful and capable – You who created me, must be incredibly far more amazing than I. 

Supernatural.

Lord, the one thing I ask of You during this conference:

Empty me. 

Ain’t no superhero.

At some point in life, you’re gonna face either one of the following:

- Being such a big time failure at something
- Making a mistake so big you can’t even forgive yourself
- Been hurt to a point beyond repair

That’s also when you forget God. Only God can mete out abundant love, unending grace and unconditional forgiveness. If you think that God can’t deal with these, you’re believing in a human God. The thing is, our God is supernatural. You have to let go, you gotta trust God, don’t rob God of His job. Leave the supernatural and seemingly impossible to Him.

Cos’ even ironman is human inside his suit, and you’re no ironman.

I have a plan.
