Life,
as it seems,
has been a whole lot of everything.

Honestly,
i don't know how the graduation blues feels like..
i don't feel as though i'm losing people..
i don't feel as though i'm saying goodbyes..
i don't feel like crying..
maybe not yet.

[To live is Christ, and to die is gain - philippians 1:21]

If i live,
to be melancholy,
to be sad,
to be emo,
i don't live for Christ.

I don't deny that we,
as human beings,
feel..
we feel sad,
happy and all.
we feel all sorts of emotions,
it's given to us,
from God.

I would mean that,
i won't dwell on being on the down side all the time.
friends,
i'm rejoicing.
not because i'm leaving school,
but because i'm joyful in the Lord.

why lament and look back,
and said, "oh man, i've not done much.."
why not be joyful and say,
"God, you can do immeasurably more than what i can think or ask for,
i believe."

do we sit in our driver seat,
and yearn to drive backwards all the time?
or to press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called us heavenward in Christ Jesus?
i choose the latter.
ain't gona be easy, buddies..
but the latter way,
has our Father,
who will be in the passenger seat,
next to us.
He allows us the freedom to choose the roads we want,
yet He's there to guide us and warn us.

i'm comforted to know that.
and i'm satisfied to know that.
are you?

times like this,
we need to spur one another on.
need a cheer or smile,
i'm here. =)
what i'll do to cheer you up?
hmm..
i'll do whatever it takes.

i'm smiling because i've got my Father with me.
i ain't looking back, because i ain't a product of my past.
who i am today, is because of what He has done.
I can testify.

i'm happy in the Lord today.
Are you?
