Why is it that I can't seem to get it out of my system?
I mean.. yeah i've moved on.. its over yaddah yaddah yaddah.. but then sometimes i still find myself thinking about it everytime I wake up, or maybe smiling as the memories replay in my head just before i go to sleep.
Force of habit I presume.
This stranger who i [think] know oh-so-well. For once, I've had enough of you. I'm sick of your face popping inside my head everytime there is a chance. In fact.. IM SICK OF YOU.
Im sick of people asking me how i've been without you. Im sick of the fact that people sometimes still link me to you.
Im sick of how you are so quick to judge, sick of how you criticize people the way you do.
I mean, if my own parents can't tell me how I should worship, then what gives YOU the right to tell me how I should worship?
Who do you think you are, to go on judging peoples relationship with God like that?
*ugh*
I'd have to admit. Sometimes I envy you.
I envy your passion. I envy how you have so much zeal for God.
I think I have an idea of your burden- of wanting others to come to know Christ the way you do..
But you'd have to understand. The way to a person's heart is not by talking them down, or debating with them. Its by being gentle, and compassionate and understanding..
Its Christians like you who make Christians like us want to draw closer to God.
but then.. its Christians like you, who make Christians like us.. feel insecure and doubtful..
"You're the only one you know who carries a cross,
you don't care what they care about anyway....
You can't find the answers till you learn to question,
You won't appear stupid, just ask for direction.
You're insecure and it clouds your perception..
So stop and listen and learn a lesson in love without condition.."
Sometimes I just feel like throwing a line like that at you.
But then I think that.. What if, the words were meant for me, and not you..
I'm sorry.. (there, I said it..)
I've been critical myself. I've been mad when I shouldn't. Afterall, we're both fighting for the same reason, and that reason is God.
But then I ask.. "who's in the right?"
then again, only He can say.
Can't we just set aside our differences and live harmoniously, like how real brothers and sisters in Christ should? Lets stop this childish bickering because its really getting nowhere.. (don't you agree?)
You think we're ok.. but BOY, do we have issues..
*ugh*
It's true when they say, old habits die hard.
No no, i'm not bitter. Not at all.. really! I'm just really fed up, thats all.
God already broke me by taking you away. And thats cool and all, cause it made me draw closer to Him. But then why are you still inside my head? Are you supposed to stay there?
Maybe im not broken enough.

no dear, you're not bitter. and maybe him staying in your mind is really normal. because in one way or another, he'll always be a memory.
ONLY A MEMORY.
and it's not wrong to think about him. really. so don't worry. you're normal.
missing you SOOO much. T.T
*heaves a heavy sigh of relief* really?!?! thats so good to hear!
hahah! thanks besh >:D<
but then.. he's so judgemental!! *grrr*
oh my deb, that was very beautiful. i can see that your heart is really for the Lord. i hope you grow in more ways to be like our Dad. =D
speaking from experience, i know forgetting about it is hard. pero you'll get through it... eventually. we're all here for ya, sis. (i know that sounds gay.)
haha! thanks pong. :D
pero.. helloooooo?!? halos mag oone-year na kaming wala.. and I STILL haven't forgotten? diba parang abnoy na ako nun?
Faith is always a personal thing. We cannot be told what to believe, how to believe.
We have to find the way within ourselves that works, that it all makes sense and balances ourselves...
The words in the holy books; the words preachers speak... they are just words. We have to interpret and understand our own way.
Some people try and force their ways on others; like you say "this is the wrong way" - it just causes friction and hurtfulness. So much ill in this world has been caused through the ages by people forcing their "correct, and only true" view of whichever religion upon others.
People who enter our lives and we share a closeness with; they often haunt us. The good times. The bad. The "what could have been, what should have been"s ... In time their influence upon ourselves diminishes; but we have to let go completely and move on ourselves.
Take care of yourself okay,
there is never anything wrong in asking questions, debating. But in life, there are as many right answers as wrong; and the ability to distinguish between each comes from our own perspectives which in turn may point us in ways that others disagree with. There is no reason why everyone isn't right; like the blind men describing the elephant, we are all seeing the same thing; but different aspects of the whole and not realising.

Thanks M..
Its just that some people are so judgemental, you know?
Maybe im like this because im jealous.. Im jealous because I can see that he's made some dramatic changes, and it seems like I haven't changed at all..
According to bekah.. Its a change to gain, but it just needs some time to get used to..
("I'm not advancing!!" T__T)
I know what you mean; people can be judgemental. All a part of life though, alas. We can try and not let it bother us, but it can be hard to emotionlessly turn the other cheek all the time.
But being jealous of changes... we all have our own timescale. It's never a race to adjust to different situations. Some of us can let go and move on quickly. Some of us linger.
You will get there when you are ready to. There may be things to let go of that you're holding onto. Hope. The desire for things to be different or the way they were once. Happy memories haunt us and tease us with "what might have been and what could be again, if only..."
When the time is right, the change will come.
(almost related)
Almost all of the "most stressful" things a person can experience are linked to change; even positive change. It is natural to be a little resistant whether you realise you are or not.
In life we follow our own paths, but at the end of the day we find that all the roads lead to the same destination.
Take care of yourself
Enjoy your day

i agree with m..
and were all running in this race for a prize, God.. but u see that in the race you find yourself at a crossroads where your paths come to meet.. but at the end there came a point were the crossroad ended.. going separate paths once more..
running along in that race for God there will be those times when you look back..at the memories you had.. the moments that had your heart jump so high.. also you find the instances that didnt turn out to smiles..
looking at it. we can never get to our destination if we keep looking back but in minds and hearts that have not yet moved on completely we remember how God blessed us.. we see how much we felt so loved. God sees the hurts that you feel and He shows his true love to you, asking you to love Him back.
but remember that we all are running in a race, but not against each other. everyone at the end wins if their eyes are set on the prize. yes you're right no one is to judge the way we run. no one can tell us how our relationship with Him has to be. but take to consideration the burden that he has. at times you just have to open heart and your eyes. know what God has in store for you through him. cos everything in this world has its purpose even if it is all temporary..
love yah to bits..
bea..:D
You know something's not right when bea starts making sense.. O___O rotflol.
MY GAWD BEY! kaw ba yan? hahahah!Amen to what you said! AMEN! O__O
I LOVE YOOOHE! I praise God so much for you. :D
There are times when you just want to wear a big sign around your neck:
"We're not ok. We're not talking. Don't ask."
