I am a Christian

-
When I say "I am a Christian" 
I'm not shouting "I am saved." 
I'm whispering "I get lost" 
That is why I chose this way.

When I say "I am a Christian" 
I don't speak of this with pride. 
I'm confessing that I stumble 
And need someone to be my guide.

When I say "I am a Christian" 
I'm not trying to be strong. 
I'm professing that I am weak 
And pray for strength to carry on.

When I say "I am a Christian" 
I'm not bragging of success. 
I'm admitting I have failed 
And cannot ever pay the debt.

When I say "I am a Christian" 
I'm not claiming to be perfect. 
My flaws are too visible 
But God believes I'm worth it.

When I say "I am a Christian" 
I still feel the sting of pain. 
I have my share of heartaches 
Which is why I seek HIS name.

When I say "I am a Christian" 
I do not wish to judge. 
I have no authority 
I only know I'm loved.

"I asked God for Strength... And God gave me difficulties to make me strong. I asked God for Wisdom... And God gave me problems to solve. I asked God for Prosperity... And God gave me a Brain and Brawn to work. I asked God for Courage... And God gave me obstacles to overcome. I asked God for Love... And God gave me troubled people to help. I asked God for Favours... And God gave me Opportunities. I received nothing I wanted... But, I received everything i needed Live life without fear, confront all obstacles and convince that you can overcome them!" With my first post i thought of inducing some motivation and courage in the hearts of people who are reading my blog. This is not my own work but has been taken from the pages of an Old diary (of my sister's).  Happy Reading Everyone.  Much Love.

Lessons from 20s to bring to 30s:

-
Let go of perfection, Embrace the process; Forcing it does not work but, Give your best and put your heart and head to it, If it's meant to happen it will happen; Ups and downs are natural, There is always light at the end of tunnel, Take time to grieve and come out with boldness and strength; Stop doubting yourself and your work, Never let anyone underestimate you or take you for granted; Be generous but have boundaries, Take counsel but do not let another person to hold the reins of your life; Love is much bigger than relationships, Be kind to people without being judgmental; Be okay to let go many times to heal, Letting go does not exhibit weakness, but needs courage; Emotional maturity makes a difference, Forgive, forget and learn from your mistakes; Running away from your emotions does not help, Fall seven times rise up eight; Beauty is abundant but connection is unique, Don't settle for shallow, but create deeper bonds with people. - Publo and PJay

Rekindle and Rejoice

It's a Sunday evening in my part of the world and I am just starting to write a blog after hearing a sermon preached by Mark Hughes, Lead Pastor of Church of the Rock. I pondered much about this whole ' RE-CALIBRATE ' topic and how much I wanted to dodge the fact that it was talking to me but I could not. Instead I was consumed by the four bullet points he talked about, which are as below: Re-Joice in the Lord Re-Connect with your relationships Re-Engage in your mission(s) Re-Imagine your future For many of us living in times of uncertainties, where  new restrictions  are shoved in our faces every couple of weeks, constant fluctuations on the number of active cases curve, watching Federal & Provincial governments battle each other and health officials giving us mixed cues about cross vaccinations and even which vaccines are fully acceptable. Then there is all the conflict among many civilians, those who are anti-mask vs those who pro-masks, those that are anti-vax vs pr
