biking with the wind blowing me...

yeah, hoping that my mind makes some sense in writing. my sense of black and white in matters relating to life and thoughts are becoming blurred - i hope not by the influence of new age but rather by the influence and my human understanding of the grace of God. i want these recordings to become a reminder of God's faithfulness in my golden days.
So, welcome my friend, let's learn together. I beckon you.

Uphill


Ever arrived at some point in your life you don't know what to do and need someone wiser, and who has eaten more salt than you give you sound advice? Oh yeah, welcome Grace!!

So, hallelujah, God I come to Thee!!

My honeymoon with life is coming to an end. I am dreading it but at the same time excited to go home. Another chapter opens, an open book with new stories to write. What kind of stories do I want written about my life? I remember at Jeremiah School I wrote a bunch of titles I want to have in my biography. Let's see if they have changed.

Chapter 1: Childhood
Chapter 2: Growing Up with God (teenage life)
Chapter 3: The Influencers - My Life
Chapter 4: Head Banging at University
Chapter 5: Work? What Work?
Chapter 6: A New Beginning
Chapter 7: Bumming, Move Away!! Focus, Take Over!!
Chapter 8: Life as an Adult, Sometimes Confused
Chapter 9: The Secrets to Living Life
Chapter 10: Living the Dream - God's Faithfulness
Chapter 11: Lessons Of, About God
Chapter 12: The Adventures

Wow, if I elaborate on what these chapters will have, I'd probably end up writing the book already! Reflecting about life makes me teary sometimes, and full of gratitude for the things and people God has put in my life, and the events He's led me to experience. I am so glad God's promises are for real, and He's living. Imagine if He's a dead God then I'd have no adventures in life at all!! Yeah, beyond this season there's no more exciting stories to tell! Yikes, thank God He IS alive!! Woohoo!!

Life is an uphill task, full of unseen and unexpected challenges, but if we know there's a blue sky as a reward, it makes every perseverance and self-control, every withholding back worth the effort, worth the fall, worth the trying again, worth the time and worth the sweat. Looking back sometimes hinders us from moving forward, but I guess just remember that we have gone through the past, and don't need to experience the same things again.

I love God, and He loves me. I am committed to Him, it is a life I am choosing right now, even when it is hard to grasp His plans, even when it costs me the dearest people and friendships, just because He is worth the sacrifice. It's going to take me to stick it out, as it is I see waves coming over me, but I cannot deny and walk away from what He has for me. Call me a fanatic, call me crazy, whatever. I may fall, but I will stand up again, as many times as it takes. I am not called to an ordinary life, that's something I know. It's not extravagant as well, just simple but full of colour, all in contrast but makes the most beautiful painting ever.

God is good, and NEVER will change.


gracey silly billy? nah.
