Flying Ideas.

I tend to think, formulate, and relate ideas in a very odd way.

Well, two things can proceed whenever my ideas go out-of-line:

1. Blathering. Due to uncontrolled popping of ideas, I utter and utter and utter and utter non-stop thoughts that are unrelated.

2. Silence and/or Mental block. Sometimes, the abounding-yet-muddled-ideas in my brain just paralyze me to talk.

Whenever I converse with people, worry automatically blows in because I might not be able to construct and express the things that I really wanted to say. And there’s this fear that other people might perceive me as weird or abnormal person.

A friend of mine taught me to always bring a notebook and a pen to jot down relevant things. Another friend told me to just speak up if there’s a chance.

A week ago, during my quiet time, God spoke to me through this verse:

Luke 21: 14-15 “But make up your mind not to worry… I will give you words and wisdom...”

I am really claiming this verse! Now, through God’s grace, I am already on the process of knocking over my flying ideas. :)

When you talk to God and when God talks to you...

I really enjoyed our Training for Victory Class for today.. It was such a blast! I was able to make new friends, learned new things and most importantly, I was able to know God more. I was really blown away by our discussion about God’s Word and Prayer. I just wanna share the top 3 things that really pounded me bigtime..

1. As believers, reading the Word and Praying are not obligations. They are privileges.

If we think of reading the Bible and praying as mere obligations or responsibilities, we will surely end up exhausted and not savoring our relationship with Him at all. May we always be reminded that everytime God talks to us and everytime we talk to God, it is a privilege. Why? Simply because we are talking to God, the Creator of the heavens and the earth.

2. Spending time/ Quiet time with God is a whole-day basis.

Yes, it is substantial for us to set a specific time to meet with God in a day but talking to Him should not only happen once a day. If Pres.Obama gives you the access to call or text Him anytime of the day, will you not grab the chance? You will, right? : ) My point is that the God of the Universe has already given us the access to talk to Him whenever and wherever we want and may we desire to spend each second of our lives with Him because He is our loving Father and we are His children.

3. The written word should lead us to the Living Word.

The goal of reading the Bible is not to accomplish a book or just to have information or knowledge about church history or bible characters. The purpose of the Bible is for us to have a deeper and closer relationship with God, the Living Word. The more we get to know Him, the more that we get astonished by who He is in our lives.

“ The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.” John 1:14
