FAITH

Been real slacking these past few days and my brain is starting to feel the effects of inactivity. Read a few books and finish each book within 3 hrs. *yawn*

On another note, please read this article written by Kim Wang. I found this article to be both inspiring and challenging us to move on and have faith. Faith in ourself and in God.

"What are you afraid of?", it is something that i could relate to. How many times have we held back from career change / having a new relationship / moving / changing courses? Why did we hold back? Because we are scared of the unknown. We are intimidated by change. We wrap ourself in our own blanket of so-called security and so we deny ourself the adventure of venturing into the REAL WORLD. We are stuck in our cocoon of comfort and miss out the thrill of actually living instead of merely existing on terra firma.

Let me tell you my story.

I took the brave leap of changing my course in my 2nd year in UKM and quitting UKM. I nekad to quit and apply to other uni. A very risky move but a decision I made after I decided to forget about my fears and focus on the challenges ahead. It was hard for a few months, my parents couldn't accept my decision and my family couldn't believe that I am throwing away my opportunity. It was sufficient to say that I was a persona non grata at home for quite some time until I had a heart-to-heart discussion with them and I shared all my frustrations and feelings. Later, I was offered to enter UNIMAS. Thanks to this episode in my life, I emerged a wiser and more experienced person. I learned a lesson in having faith and perseverance. And life keeps getting better.

So, what do you have to fear? In Psalm 56: 11, " In Him I trust and I shall not be afraid, What can a mere human do to me?". This is my favorite verse and my motto. We put our trust in God and faith that the Lord will guide us in life. Remember, when something goes wrong, God is not saying "NO!" but God is telling us "I HAVE A BETTER PLAN FOR YOU!".

Think 'bout it.
