Snippets Of Me

Falling and Rising

'God continues to love you even if you haven't loved Him back.'

Cliche isn't it? Many people have proclaimed it before, but it was through these couple of weeks that these words were more than just words for me, He proved it to be true.

It's funny how I relied a lot on God during the 2 months of craziness in school and planning for church activities. It was one of those I-can-do-anything-through-Christ-who-strengthens-me kind of times. I felt so motivated, so excited about every single thing that I was doing Even if was all work and no play, it was as though I was having the time of my life.

When the holidays came around however, my old life caught up with me. When new everythings became such a big variable, I started to stray from Him. Ironically, I put the world above heaven and had my whole life on topsy turvy. I'd spend late nights out, talk less to God and totally put my earthly desires before my responsibilities. Even now as I face difficulties handling some personal issues as a result of my choice to lead a life that is secular, materialistic and far away from God, He still sends people like Gerri, Mom and Sheryl to show that He's still watching over me and wants me to come back.

It's a vicious cycle of falling and rising, falling and rising, but everytime I fall, I learn something new, grow a little stronger and discover something about myself. Though I know it sounds extremely stupid, but I'm grateful for the times I've fallen and gotten hurt. Without it, I wouldn't know how to plant my feet steady on the ground in the first place. It's a logic so fundamental, yet, so easy to forget.

Btw, this is still lengthening advertisement time before I update about Christina and Levi's! :)
