Planted by the rivers of water

Today's cell went well. But all glory to God. Too caught up preparing for my interview I didn't get to prepare for cell. And on the train ride back was thinking what I could do for cell. Didn't do a too good job last week, cos my head was in a mess.
Nearing bedok was getting worried about the lack of inspiration til finally got a brain blast. The topic was supposed to be on the motives of the heart. And came the idea of playing charades of bible characters.
The gestures used for to depict the characters often was something significant that represented them. And so at the end of the game, we ought to ask ourselves too, if our life were to be acted out, what would it be like? As men and women of God, what would be our story of faith be as it is told to the next generation?
In an analogy, a verse came to mind, Psalms 1 about the righteous, and had it to capture each of our current state.
Mine used to be one that stood tall and strong, a tree that provided shade and protection for the smaller trees around. And in its time, suddenly grew weak. withered leaves, dried out trunk, shriveled branches. And it just feels weird that I'm the weak one now, knowing there are other trees around me still.
However through it all, I can feel and know that God's working through me, tearing everything that's weak down to the roots, to be able to make place for a new one to grow, stronger, mightier and more powerful. I know I'll get through this.
All in all, I'm glad. Thank you God

Not-so-average teen, deep thinker, perfectionist with quirky randomness. Trained in the art of sarcasm and nonsensical logic.
Overcoming the circumstances of the present, and the issues of my past,
striving in self-betterment with a moral balance with the hope of the fulfillment of the destiny to be a light for Christ in His likeness,
spreading the love of God as how He first loved us
==============================================================
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Heal my heart and make it clean
Open up my eyes to the things unseen
Show me how to love like You have loved me
Break my heart for what breaks Yours
Everything I am, for Your kingdom's cause
As I walk from earth into eternity

Philosophy:
I like to think about life, especially pursuing on the concept of love. Not that lovey dovey romantic kind, but the affections we have for one another
that ties us together,strangers, friends, besties, family, that's the love I wanna know about. Love is the essence of life that ties us together,
love is what we were made for and to be, love is embracing the gift of the relationship with GOD.
