even the best fall down sometimes

you know for this past one week
i think ive grown more
than i have ever before
both
vertically
and
spiritually

i guess this week
God has opened my eyes
to the "down-side" of life
and the "up-side" of life
and frankly both have changed me.

i remember last year.
slogging it out in my fours
with fellow friends - nominees
under the baking sun
(MOE rules didnt really apply then)

and this year.
still on our fours
in the beloved parade square
with fellow prefects - knock-it-down

the fun.
the laughter
the enjoyable moments
(quite sadly to say)
shouting and screaming -- some shrieking
at the nominees
louder
where's your sense of
Urgency - knock-it-down
and the most famous of
all - Don't Cheat Your Friends

That memorable night
some of you might remember
when someone collasped
and our prefect "spontaneity"
came into action. i dont think i
can disclose the matter
what actually happened.
but boy - did it give
me a shock.
and i guess.
your life could be taken away like
that - just a sudden moment

Come friday - a last minute
decision on my part
two major factions in my
life. and i guess
i think i chose the right one
even though it was kind of
more uncomfortable
but still
fun
laughter
enjoyable moments

and spiritually too
not to forget that.
the book of james - rejoice
in your problems.
pray - relax - rejoice
im not there yet
but i know with His help
i can sort of get there
im not perfect
nor the most good-looking
most definetly not the smartest/
but wont you accept me?
for who i am
who i am
not who i should become.

-* 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
