A Hurried Life


                                                                  Ecclesiastes 3:11

                Ever heard of the saying "God's never in a hurry but He's always on time"? Well then, it's absolutely true for God knows best. When He does something for you at His own time then you'll realize the package was right on time!
                
               You know when you're in a hurry, you'll tend to forget a lot of things and probably lose your peace of mind. Every other thing seems to be in your way and against your progress.

                I clearly remember once when I was in a hurry to get to my exam venue, I had to get back to my hostel twice. First, I forgot to dress properly (was holding my skirt in my hand while running out) and the second time, I had to get my writing materials which I had forgotten when I went the first time to dress properly.

                The result: A very unserious looking student with lack of coordination in the exam hall. To recover, I had to place my head down and take a little rest after which I continued with the exam. Therefore, I had lost both time and concentration.

                You may be experiencing something difficult but I can assure you, hurrying is never the answer. Rather, plan ahead of time! Just like my mum would make sure our uniforms were ready the previous day for school the next day. If it's a prayer point, just keep waiting on God in fervent prayers. 


If it comes in hurry, it'll leave in a hurry!

Dear Fighter

"If you are going to win the fight of your life, you can't be afraid to fight"  - Eric Thomas Dear Fighter, Life has its ups and downs. There's always some good times to appreciate and hard times to grow through. So, I have chosen to be thankful for life, family/friends, love and issues (makes  life quite a story with the occasional twists), the cool job while I had it, life on a daily... Fight the good fight. Don't be a spectator in your life, fight! Fight for your joy. Fight for your progress. Fight for your dreams, goals, and aspirations. Fight to see the good in life. I realized it, and I'm fighting too. I recently wrote down some of my forgotten dreams and new goals. Now, I think about them often and try to work towards them. It's not easy, but I  have to push for it. In those dark moments, I have found that Jesus is the source of peace.  If you're losing it, it may be that you've distanced yourself from Him. The Bible says that God is leading

Dealing with Failure

“No human ever became interesting by not failing. The more you fail and recover and improve, the better you are as a person. Ever met someone who’s always had everything work out for them with zero struggle? They usually have the depth of a puddle. Or they don’t exist.” - Chris Hardwick I’m enthusiastic. I love to be associated with success. I like to meet expectations. I just didn’t know if I could stand failing. I was afraid. I prayed and studied and kept hoping every day. I told myself that I had to pass all five of my exams. I felt that was it. Probably if I cleared them all in one sitting, I’d be more satisfied and approved of. Well, I failed one and it hit me. It hurt a lot and I felt like giving up. When I got home, I cried about it but my parents tried to cheer me up. My brother wanted us to celebrate. My friends were congratulating me. Honestly, at that point, I felt they were all crazy or something… In the healing process, I became grateful. I actua

When God Seems Distant

Image
           Some days, you feel like you're the one doing all the talking. It's like you woke up and the lights just went off. Its like God's gone on vacation!      I've felt like that too and it can really be frustrating. But while reading The Purpose Driven Life, a powerful book by Rick Warren, I got to see that this is actually a very important phase in our lives.      Just like Job's experience in the Bible, God seemed distant and didn't speak until 38 chapters later. But God never abandoned him nor left him to die of his sufferings. And despite all that Job went through, he never gave up on God.      This time is usually a period of testing to see just how much you can hold on to God when He keeps silent in your life. He really wants to show the accuser just how faithful a child He has that won't give up no matter what.
