You are the potter, I am the clay.

I havent posted in a very very long time. This semester is by far the one which has gone by the quickest. I know I've grown much stronger in certain areas and been able to let go in others, which to me, is really comforting because in retrospect, this time last year, I look at myself and wonder how could I even have managed to let go of certain things and truly it is only by the grace of God that I have come this far.

I dont ever want to be stuck in vicious comatose cycle of life, missing out on so many opportunities and experiences. I have goals. I have dreams so big that sometimes I ask God if they are even possible despite knowing that these are God dreams. Silly me. But in this season of transition, I know that trusting God is all I can do. It's like walking on a suspended bridge. You cant keep looking down because you know your silly brain and silly thoughts will trick you into thinking that you'll fall. All you have to do is just keep your eyes fixed on the end and take each step with courage.

There are things which happen in life which sometimes do not turn out the way you want to. Life is not the way you dictate it to be. Because some things that we want may not necessarily be the best for us. Things happen for a reason. One of it is to shape us, to build our character. We may not like it because we're blinded by the things in front of us. And telling the flesh to be in line with the spirit can be trying.

I asked how come it seems that some people go through many transitions in life whilst others merely go through a few. Seems like people like me learn the most from transitions and that's how God teaches me, shapes me, moulds me and uses me. I can tell you honestly that all the transitions I've been through have been really painful but again it reminds me of who I am today because of the things I've been through.

There are some things which are not within one's control and so there's nothing one can do. Well the moral of the story is that since there is nothing one can do, doing nothing would be the thing to do. And leaning on God's strength and trusting Him for the best. It's so much easier saying it than actually doing it. Trust me (no pun intended).

god, thoughts & reflections, life
