Older Brother

If what most of the people believe is right and wrong would actually prevail in this world, then... we would probably all burn in hell.

Last week was very intense when it comes to people's response to the tragedy in Paris. But what surprised the most is the indifference to the pain of those who lost their family members, friends, loved ones... To some it was ANNOYING see changed profile pictures on Facebook and #PrayForParis posts. Annoying because of the lack of compassion. Yes, there were many tragedies happening in that timeframe. But do not underestimate the pain of those in Paris. If you can't have compassion, don't stop others from showing it.

Imagine someone comes to the funeral of your loved one and starts telling "Stop crying, people die everyday in other countries!"

The tragedy happened.

Romans 12 : 15 - Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn.

This whole situation reminded me of the parable of a prodigal son within different circumstances. In the parable we see older son who got angry when his father rejoiced over his younger son come back. In the realities of the situation with Paris, we see people getting mad over the attention payed to those who mourned along.

Look deep inside your heart. Who are you? Father? Or the older brother?

If what we believe is right and wrong would be the TRUTH, then the lost sheep would stay lost...

God wouldn't leave 99 and look for the one, right?

SO before we say something, we should really look inside our hearts and see who speaks through it now...

Be Ok

So today is one of those days when you do a makeup, put your jeans on, instead of pajamas, and..... you take off your jeans and put your pajamas back on.

I'm an extravert, but oh boy, every brain needs a break (so no one gets wounded)! haha.. (I promice, I only once threw a good punch at a man at the metro).

I think many of those who live in a big city had those moments when they get in an overcrowded metro and so about to start crying. Because some big size ladies say you take too much space, because some drunk guy tries to flirt with you while you're trying to balance on one foot cuz wagon is so packed, because some guy would push you to take a sit that just opened before you and as soon as he sits down, will look at you to see your reaction, because some cool hipster chics give you a look that make you feel like you're total loser. Well, you got an idea..

And then, when you're just about to explode, someone comes and asks you smthg like:
- So you're 26 and not married? Why?
- So you don't have a boyfriend? Why?
- Are you lefthanded? How can you write?
- You work as an administrator in a church?  But what do you do during the week?
- Why are you so skinny? You don't eat?
- How are you allergic to apples? How can you live with that?
-  How are you allergic to fish? So you don't eat fish? Even *** kind?

and many other "not your business" questions that people feel so comfortable to ask.


But you know...it's all ok. You are ok. And if someone is not ok with you, let's be honest, that's their problem. Life is good.

So today I decided not to go anywhere. Lots of tea, lots of food, music, blanket and youtube videos. And that's ok.

Time

Time is an interesting thing. Intentionally or not  we try to rely on it. We call it the most cruel thing in the world and yet hope it would "heal". Hope that "tomorrow" will be better than today and totally forget to enjoy what we have now and miss the moment that was given to us.
We forget to "live today".

Because of Him I can

Trusting the Lord it's when your prayer changes from "God, I can't do this anymore! I can't... " to "God, I can do this. Because of You I can. "

It's not easy to make a "trust fall". But it's even harder when you don't do it.
