its the time of the month again... (no not PMS)

ive been thinking about the recent Philosophy of Disciplines (if you dont know this, its really really chim and irritating) question.

"Philosophy is to be studied, not for the sake of any definite answers to its questions, since no definite answers can, as a rule, be known to be true, but rather for the sake of the qeustions themselves"

and i realised. life is like that. (in a way yes)
you cant just. fast-forward to get the answer (the end of life; or the big question: what is life)
but rather you have to live life, and experience different experiences (love, pain, sorrow, happiness, boredom, laughter). and that brings spice to life, a variety to it.

i guess character really comes from walking through life - through the storms that break and may throw you off course, through the happy times. and the experience really builds character, makes who you are.

and really. stumbling at a block, a wall that seems so high. doesnt matter. what matters is you pick yourself up, and with help from others, try to get over that block in your life.

-* Fellowship of the Unshamed- I am a part of the fellowship of the Unashamed. I have the Holy Spirit Power. The die has been cast. I have stepped over the line. The decision has been made. I am a disciple of Jesus Christ. I won't look back, let up, slow down, back away, or be still. My past is redeemed, my present makes sense, and my future is secure. I am finished and done with low living, sight walking, small planning, smooth knees, colorless dreams, tame visions, mundane talking, chintzy giving, and dwarfed goals. I no longer need preeminence, prosperity, position, promotions, plaudits, or popularity. I don't have to be right, first, tops, recognized, praised, regarded, or rewarded. I now live by presence, learn by faith, love by patience, lift by prayer, and labor by power. My pace is set, my gait is fast, my goal is Heaven, my road is narrow, my way is rough, my companions few, my Guide is reliable, my mission is clear. I cannot be bought, compromised, deterred, lured away, turned back, diluted, or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice, hesitate in the presence of adversity, negotiate at the table of the enemy, ponder at the pool of popularity, or meander in the maze of mediocrity. I won't give up, back up, let up, or shut up until I've preached up, prayed up, paid up, stored up, and stayed up for the cause of Christ. I am a disciple of Jesus Christ. I must go until He returns, give until I drop, preach until all know, and work until He comes. design by noids
