Joys and thoughts

I just got a mail today. It would be so nice as to share it with you. But the line's so horrible that it won't allow me to upload it anywhere. I will try again any time possible. :)

ShoesLover is finally proposed to! So happy xD

And I've got that happy mail officially asking me to be a bridesmaid :) She asked me earlier on. X)

And it was interesting today when I realized how some people actually feared me. Literally fear me. They feel intimidated by me. It is funny. I guess the friendship with them just can't work. How can it work when there's so much fear? They always think that I have a bad intention towards them when I don't. And I don't know why. But sometimes I think they are the ones who wanted to bully others and take advantage of others who won't stand up for themselves or are too sacrificial and they step all over them. So I, not being someone like that, probably showed how I won't let people step all over me, felt intimidated. Even when I don't hold a high position in college.

Perfect love drives out all fear.

If you don't make the choice to believe that God truly loves you and has all the best intentions in mind for everything He does and allows you would be believing that He is like Scrooge that is all out to hurt you and you would fear that He will be like a giant and you are a mere ant and someday He might just step on you and kill you.

Same principle.

If only everyone applies the things they learnt in sociolinguistics about how different people from different culture may perceive different behaviors differently then they will be more open minded and see everyone differently than the way they see everyone now, making assumptions which are incorrect and the worst is, they don't find definite evidence to support their assumptions. So in the end they make the wrong assumptions and in the end comes misunderstandings which then leads to conflict.

But sad to say I have to understand them myself. In one way, they are broken people so I can't expect much from them. Broken people functioning from broken systems can't produce anything much more than brokenness. Perfectness comes from the one above which they repel and are blinded from. God bless them with open eyes.

So I just live each day, learning to extend grace, hearing from Him, learning from Him, changing myself in ways that I am still not perfect in and extending love to whoever who will take it.

Need to spend more quality time with Him. :)
