Only 7 days into the new year, and I'm lamenting. After re-reading the post below, I can feel every inch of me right now is screaming me-centric now.
Gawh.
Suppose to be the original version from multiply.
Quite pleased with myself. Doesn't sound that angst to me.
.................................
I had a new pair of spectacles made around Oct. Instead of the usual dark blue, I chose the pair with copper/golden rim and orange/brown at the side which the optician had recommended.
A friend comment that it looks nice. And I told her that I wanted a more matured looking spectacles to look like I'm more credible.
No, the specs didn't work as I thought of.
Why is it that my comments or words were never taken seriously? For the last 20 years, I don't think anyone else other than my primary and secondary school teachers took me seriously.
It is as if I have less street credentials as I have no experience or training in certain field and thus people do not take my words with value.
Like how I tried to warn my ex-colleagues about the stuff in the company. And it all fell deaf ear - maybe because I was younger than them.
Or how about when I tried to warn some people about certain things? It's either I get rejected or it passes through their ears. Or about certain suggestions?
I maybe less than eloquent - be it in speech or words. I may not have grown up in an english speaking family. I can't write blog entries in a freaking chim way.
I may not be able to do a lot of other things.
I bother. Because that is not the way to be doing things. I've done that before, and I'm not proud of myself for the half-past-six job.
All I want to do is to do things the proper way. Build the right foundations and look further - not just the end results in front.
Call me insecure and all those stuff. It's not that I don't believe Christ is in me and let that shine.
Sometimes, just sometimes, even normal people can go off the road because they don't have people who recognise their strength, to encourage them in their weakness, to pull them and spur them along in this journey.Everyone one has a self esteem and ego. So do I. And it freaking hurts when I cant get that same kind of equal treatment in the place where I am suppose to be part of something bigger.
.......
And I make the same mistakes too.

I need to work on showing more grace and mercy? Hmm...
.......
Still having flu, and breaking into a throat infection only after 2 days of torture. it's painful that I only think a lot when I'm down with flu. It's the only time I rest and dig up the hidden stuff.
Job, career, life, friends, quarter life crisis are forming into mini vertigo. And I'm suck into them and spinning around.

Found this while trying to spell check on google for "chose". Blogging at 4am makes it hard for me to remember even simple spelling.

Some where midway, I saw this (point form my emphasis):
- Some accept the blood, but forget the water. They want to be saved, but don't want to be changed. Others accept the water, but forget the blood. They are busy for Christ, but never at peace in Christ.
- What about you? Do you lean one way or another? Do you feel so saved you never serve? You and I are here for a reason, to glorify God in our service.
Funny how one simple googling lead me to a simple comfort and reminder that I needed.
Best.
