ARE YOU LIMITING GOD?

When God puts a dream in your heart, when He brings opportu­nities across your path, do you step out boldly in faith, expecting the best, moving forward with confidence, knowing that you are well able to do what God wants you to do? Or do you shrink back in fear, and say, “That’s too big for me. I’m not qualified. I’m not able. I could never do that.”

God wants to do a new thing in your life. But you’ve got to do your part and get outside that little box. Start thinking big!

this is what jumped outta the article i was reading from someone who sends me mails every week... i don't know who he is but he's been sending me these encouraging emails faithfully for the last year or so and i still don't know who he is. this is what i need to hear frm God, i believe. there are things in my life that i need to look beyond the physical circumstances and believe for bigger things. a bit change in mindset of my destiny in life. what God has in store for me. i know i am called by name to make a mark in my generation, i know it! yet do i know KNOW it? maybe not yet set in my heart... like jelly that requires setting. it needs to set it and harden. the believe, not the head knowledge but the heart believe. sometimes the people and the environment i am in can be daunting. it's not that it's bad. it's just that the satisfaction or the contentment with now, more or less there, it's good enough, it's OKAY... big word... man, i use it all the time. OKAY means everything from " i am not really okay but i don't wanna be not okay externally. or " i m just cruisin.. life is dandy!" and settling into average mundane life jus floating along. days, months... maybe even years... man, i need to get outta this cycle... and i do... momentarily... when i feel inspired by a sermon, by an article, by a prophecy... by an encouragement... i break through~! but somehow due to lack of perseverance or like a burnt out candle, after a couple of months... tiang tiong teong tiang... i go back to LIFE being normal... blerghhhh! that's my expression...

this is my theory... there are different seasons in life...and some seasons are fruitful, happy, inspiring, spirit-filled whereas other seasons dry, depressed, sucky things happen, life goes round and round. and as life changes we adapt and change too... sometimes for the better sometimes for the worse... and it's a lot easier to change for the worse, following natural progression of things- the theory of atrophy, if you leave things alone, they will get worse...not better... so.... in order to stop the progression of atrophy, we must actively exercise la.... do yaink!!! u want your muscles to hyperthrophy or even maintain tone, of course exercise la... ask jimmy... he's an expert in this....but exercise what? our FAITH.... and our muscles too if you don't wanna have flabby arms and non existent muscles...

as usual i will end up saying other things when i intended to blog about other stuff to begin with... i practise "circumstantiality" a lot... it's when you talk around the topic, beat around the bush for ages... it happens in psychiatric disorders. not that i have one, i've only been diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), only diagnosis i have pegged to my name... and i forgot... i've got chronic rhinitis too... but it hasn't been flaring up much so that's good and my bowels are not too bad besides the more then usual tummy aches that i get... colic... i talk too much so i swallow a lot of wind... that must account for it...

anyways, i think i'll stop here for now... i've got a tummy ache now and it's getting to me ( i actually thought i had acute appendicitis one night when i had this dumb pain till 3am in the morning, well i did all the neccessary physical examination and all negative, feel asleep eventually) God, help!!! i am pretty sure it's not appendicitis this time.... :P
