operating in His love..

saturday: went out with jeremy after breakfast with cookie. i wind up skipping small group cuz jeremy took me home at around 11am.. (and like after 3 hours of sharing/counselling.. haha..).. he bought me mint chocolate chip gelatto from kuppa and we hung out and talked about our relationship with other people and God.. it's been some time since we hung out.. i remembered him buying me ice cream from the same coffee shop almost 2 years ago.. anyway what i appreciate from last saturday's conversation was learning the following things from him.. - that we can be spiritually defiled by other people's problems, negativity.. so we have to clear out the grey clouds by praying a prayer of cleansing.. our hearts and minds to remove the pessimism, hating.. cuz talking to other people who are weighed down not only weighs us down physically but also affects our spirtual realm too.. - that i stop saying or writing hurtful things in order to not destroy my testimony.. - that we do not pray for promotion, other people's appreciation, being the center of attention, etceteras cuz we don't draw our worth from others, whatever our hands find to do we do it for God because it should be His glory that's supposed to be reflected not ours.. - that we don't wind up affected by other people's opinion about us cuz it's God who sees our hearts.. - that i shut up when i have nothing good to say cuz the things that i may say might wind up to my disadvantage.. - that it's okay to take the blame.. people always say they are right, so we let them be right to quit the argument.. - that we don't need to be friends or like other people, it's okay to be diplomatic and just nice.. - that when we study the bible, we can write down what we are reading so we can easily discern God's meaning, in a word, in a sentence, or a verse.. - that God works in a season.. it may be a season of mourning, of loss, of waiting, of reaping the harvest, of loving, etceteras.. that's how God works.. told Jeremy that i once prayed that i am grateful not because my manager is my friend, but, because my manager is a Christian.. if he weren't a Christian, things would be more awful than it is now.. oo, indi malibak si jerjer kay ninja gyd sha.. teh whilst cookie were talking about him and how i wind up skipping the meeting last friday cuz i ODd my pills he suddenly appeared on site.. bwaha.. - my camera will die siguro.. hay, at times sakto gyud that you don't talk to strangers.. grrrrrrrrr... out with dich today. skipped morning worship.. i wish i'd have the strength/push to show up in church today.. and i will miss mark david in the night shift.. ako na naman mag isa maglunch.. which is great cuz i will end up not eating at all.. :) I can't love anything I can't finish.- Brilliance by Mark Doty
