It's Just ScriBBleS…

I used to love growing up.  LOL! used to! To me, growing up means getting out from school. I never liked school. At that young age, I envied all those working cause they seemed so free!

Kids do weird stuff. Now when I reflect back on how I used to play “pretend-pretend” a.k.a role play… it would be really embarrassing if those moments were recorded. So not cute okay! I loved dressing up and most of the stuff I used weren’t mine – MOM’s! Put on mom’s heels and felt elegant, tall… poist. Yeah, tried on my mom’s lipstick and wondered how women could “tahan” that stench right at their lips! Mom’s pearl necklaces and earrings were pretty heavy too.

C’mon, I bet you did too – maybe we just role played different roles.

Superman?

I know of somebody who shaved her eyebrows away using her dad’s shaver when she was young!

I know of somebody who shaved his upper lips and had the “joker” scar on the face!

[Shavers are dangerous! Try waxing =)]

In short, I wanted to grew up fast lah. Now, I prefer to take things slow (not because of old age!)

Lately, I’ve been thinking about my future a whole lot. I have totally no clue what’s ahead.

Where I’ll be?

What I’ll be?

Ahh, 6 months time comes the real world. Yeah, REAL WORLD. Yeap, growing up is difficult. Thinking of finishing school and what’s next scares me!

Just today (in particular) God read my mind. I didn’t exactly pray cause I thought it’s still far away. Anyway, I had a 30 minutes in between time to be alone and just thought I’ll read today’s quiet time material. And, I thank God for it. Felt so comforted and at peace. I copied and pasted from rbc.net so that you would be blessed too!

Read it & be blessed, okay?

Bible reading: John 10:1-6

Last fall my wife, Carolyn, and I were driving up a winding mountain road near our home in Idaho when we came across a large flock of sheep moving down the road toward us. A lone shepherd with his dogs was in the vanguard, leading his flock out of summer pasture into the lowlands and winter quarters.

We pulled to the side of the road and waited while the flock swirled around us. We watched them until they were out of sight, then I wondered: Do sheep fear change, movement, new places?

Like most older folks, I like the “fold”—the old, familiar places. But all is shifting and changing these days; I’m being led out, away from familiar surroundings and into a vast unknown. What new limits will overtake me in the coming days? What nameless fears will awaken? Jesus’ words from John 10 come to mind: “When he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them” (v.4).

We may well be dismayed at what life has for us this year and next, but our Shepherd knows the way we’re taking. And He goes before. He will not lead us down paths too dangerous or too arduous where He cannot help us. He knows our limits. He knows the way to green pasture and good water; all we have to do is follow. — David H. Roper

Child of My love, fear not the unknown morrow,

Dread not the new demand life makes of thee;

Thy ignorance doth hold no cause for sorrow

Since what thou knowest not is known to Me. —Exley

Our unknown future is secure in the hands of our all-knowing God.

-Into Thy hands I surrender, O Lord to Thee-
