#16: Faith like a Child - Finding yourself

 
 
Believing is not enough. The truth is talk is cheap when part of us still holding on into our insecurities. But when you have the grace to see who you really are, you see more of who you truly are. The power of Believing is like a growing faith, getting out of your comfortable boat, stay curious and explore thru learning to live a brand new free you. Sometimes it is good to give yourself a time to refine of your true self. It is as tho you see yourself like a little child picking up some pieces you find at the nearby ocean shore...and suddenly you start building some creative ideas from the things you found around you. Just like the picture above that I took- a picture of one of my twin girls. She started building a pyramid using different colours of golf balls she found. And she says to me with great confidence and a smile on her face, "Mom, look what I found and what I made!! This is cool! Take a picture of me!!!"

It is amazing what we can find when we start refocussing our whole self to find who we truly are. Sometimes we get caught up with the buzz and chaos around us that we forget to feed our own soul, mind, heart and take care of our body- our health. Sometimes I look at it like when we make time to take care of us, it is like that little child in all of us...just wanna explore and create from whatever we can find and show it to our parents with great confidence that we did something amazing and it doesn't matter what others may think- as long what truly matters is what our Father (parents) says to us. There's something we can learn from  "A faith like a child"- Once again, living a life of free from all the worries, from all the insecurities and having  a faith like a mustard seed that we not loose faith in God- and trust in Him and all we can do is keep learning and growing with an open mind to be able to understand what we really are here for. And CELEBRATE the blessings from all the lesson learned and be more...be more to be grateful- you are more than the problems you create..or the problems you see...
There are times we loose focus to see the truth about why we are here for or to see our own self identity by listening to some confusing temptations that  looks promising or looks like defining our identity and our life purposes- a temptations that are just temporarily superficial. Humans cling towards on negative source to create a complicating matter. We tend to blame others from our own choices of making a stupid decision to cover things up. We humans tend to point out others chort comings instead on to work on ourselves to be the right person for that special person. We create our own problem  or create our own solution to the problem or create our own strategies to success by the choices we make.

Life is all FREE-WILL. Now, the choice is yours. Define your own destiny? what can you change to start experiencing the life in how God sees you? Define the struggles you fear the most and how you can be willing to change to free yourself from all the bondage you carry in yourself? How do you loose that heavy weight of burden inside you to live a  life of brand new free with full of peace and gratefulness? Is it possible to live the dream God wants you to see?

YES, it is possible! But that's another story to share in my next blog update.

One thing for sure to me is that we are all here with different purpose to serve one another and the world, to learn, to grow, to love God and others. Discover yours and be willing to live the message!
