Today's Word is JUMP.

//

If I had two legs why should I walk when I can jump?

Wouldn't it be faster? It saves time, though it could be a little more tiring,

but it gives me the impression that I can get to my destination within a shorter span of time. 

Since young I could wait to grow up, to hit 18... I looked at the people who were 18

and thought they were so mature and had an aura of maturity. 

Then when I hit 18, I wondered why it felt the same, did I not grow up?

Then I looked forward to 21, and I thought "ah hah, that must be age that will make a difference 

in my life. I'll be officially an adult in society."... Now that I'm approaching my birthday, 

a tinge of familiarity with how I previously felt at 18 remains.

Then I realized, if I kept on looking at the future hoping that I could jump through time and 

experiences, it would be futile and meaningless. 

It's the process of sanctification through our relationship with Him, 

the journey that Jesus Christ as saved us for. 

Even though we mark our lives by the lamp posts society (we ourselves) have put in place, 

let us not jump from one to the next, but instead take steps from one to the next, 

sometime go down on our knees if it helps us to "slow down" our pace of "life".

 How many more lamp posts are you going to attempt to keep jumping to 

before you realize that you could have accomplished so much more simply by walking?

With Love & In Christ,

P.S I will get my 'About Me' page done up soon, but before I do,

A New Platform

"For if you remain silent at this time, 

relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, 

but you and your father’s family will perish. 

And who knows but that you have come to your royal position 

for such a time as this?”

ESTHER 4:14 (NIV)

To be honest, I would love to have all my thoughts recorded into one platform but I realized it is impossible.

That is why I've decided to create another blog specially dedicated to writing all my honest struggles

not because I am proud of them but because I really believe God allowed me to be someone

who thinks a lot and considers different perspective to gain better understand of human relations 

and accompanied with my experiences to thereafter to use this gift through my weakness
 to bring glory to God by speaking what I hear Him say to me and what He wants me to say out loud.
How much more will the heavenly Father give to someone like me when I have nothing: Luke 11

Because I am not a good public speaker, I pray that God protects me and blesses you
with this platform that helps me to craft my thoughts and my understanding each day. 

// 

That is why the blog url is 'she writes truth' ... because that captures the two overarching
 ideas of my blog: God's truth, and the truth about myself. 

This is where I will blog about my daily thoughts, struggles and frustrations and how

God has been patient with me for ever so long and still continues to speak to me

through His word - the Truth - which helps me to know Him with intimacy and thereafter

to experience joy which can be found in no other for eternity. 

If you'd like to know more about my daily routine, or the more hands-on part of my life (lol),

you can head over to Dreams Ignite to read more about it.
This blog is dedicated to behind-the-scenes life of a Christian girl who is seeking

to live and experience a life that honors and glorifies God in every area of her life.
Even though I keep falling and disappointing God when I disobey Him, 

I know that I can get back up on my feet because Christ already has victory. 

Enough of the chatting, my new blog journey begins :)

In Christ I have the courage to share truthfully,
