Food For Thought

21-years-old, it signifies the start and an end. The start of adulthood, as exciting as it sounds, how much responsibility has then added to one's shoulder? The end of childhood and youth, how much of our childishness still remains? These are vital questions that one should be asking themselves. The change of identity itself means nothing more than a facade if it isn't accompanied by a paradigm shift that is reflected in one's thoughts and way of life. The concept is similar to accepting Christ/Baptism, which is nothing more than an event if one doesn't recognize their new identity! The start of a renewed life, do we live like renewed person that reflects God's glory? The end of the old life, have we really discarded our sinful way of life and persevere to change? Just a food for thought.

I really pray hard that God can show me how to conquer the trials that life has offered me, and help me to grow in Him. It's time to grow up and see life in a bigger perspective I guess! We tend to sit around and wait for people to babysit us, whether is it spiritual feeding or emotional needs. When we are a child, our parents feed us milk; when we grow up, we leave behind the days of being fed and learn how to feed ourselves. Some of us are long past the infant age yet still sitting there waiting for people to babysit us, always complaining and criticizing, asking why the babysitters aren't babysitting them. Sometimes I do find myself guilty of that too! It's time to grow up! We should be responsible for our life, and all the more shall we be responsible for our spiritual life. We can't always wait for things to happen and to be spoon-fed! We have to learn to think big start small, positively and bravely seek after what we really want to accomplish. I seek to bring edification to lives of people I love, may the grace and love of God shower upon all of them.
