Fairytale, really?
but it was never meant to be a fairytale. life's not perfect, life has its ups and its downs. what we have is more than a perfect story. we have a lifestory.

in life there's sure to be sorrow and disappointments. but its the darkness that makes the moon and stars shine brighter. and we know that through it all, we can trust that God's there for us. lighting up our life paths even at its darkest hours. bringing us unfathomable joy.
because He himself is Hope.

Laid bare and exposed.
each chapter, each episode recording genuine feelings and thoughts as a Child of God goes through the rollercoaster of life. and how the Grace of God still leaves her amazed and humbled, each time.

In Your time, in Your time. You make all things beautiful in Your time. Lord, my life to you I bring. May each song I have to sing be to you a lovely thing, in Your time. ♥

Sometimes we just got to trust God, that His faithfulness will carry us through all the nonsense that life throws at us. And everything is still in His control.

Posted this as my status.

This morning, had this beautiful song playing in my head. It really truly helped me to remember the simple simple things that God has blessed us with. His goodness. His faithfulness. His sweetness.

Then my Prof (best prof in the world) commented: Let's live our lives for the audience of ONE.

Isn't that just amazing, really? It just never occurred to me that way. Many times we do things keeping in mind, that people are watching. people are judging. so we must do it well. or we must give the best impression to people. we must make people like us. Then this statement just comes and hit me on the head.

Who cares? Who cares if you look like a loser whenever no one replies you. God is your only audience, your only judge. And because of that, He is pleased with you if you have commented on someone's post out of concern or love. It doesn't matter if the other person replies or not. Not to Him. Because He sees what you've done, and He sees our hearts.

And who cares? Even if out of enthusiasm you're bubbling over with joy and gladness in your hearts, you spam people with messages. It doesn't matter as well because He sees in our hearts how much we love His other children and He is pleased that we have such a love for each other.

But He isn't pleased when we start to turn to others for affirmation of who we are. When just because people don't reply us or share our enthusiasm we feel all down and upset. That we start losing track of who we are. Our identity in Him which is so secure and is never-changing.

We live for Him. One audience alone. And let's do our best for Him. Keep in mind that in everything we do, we do it for His glory.

Dear Father,

thank you for my prof. thank you for such a blessing in our lives. and most of all, thank you that you have used this statement to touch my heart. i pray you forgive, forgive me for always prioritizing you as second place. i miss your closeness father. that closeness i feel and that warmth when you just fill me with your joy. thank you for reinstating me as your child. daddy, i am afraid of the world sometimes. i'm afraid of the knives they throw. i know i am quite the fragile one so God, may you be my strength and my shield. i might get hurt, and i might get upset but whenever i turn back to you i pray that that peace just overflows. and i will know your faithfulness once again. daddy, you said i am your beloved. i believe that. help me to love you just as you have loved me. help me to never turn away from you again. let me be a sweet fragrance, a sweet sound to you. daddy i love you. forgive me for who i am. but i also thank you for who i am in you. ♥
love, your beloved daughter.
