Blogging again.
Ash is back and blogging for at least the next 10 hours. At least... and 7 will be spent sleeping, 1 will be spent preparing.
Effectively, I''m left with 2 hours.
Well, life has been going on still, and it's only another 2 more weeks before POC wahahahaha. Then its off to my unit.
Life is boring also.
There are so many things that I want to say and want to do. Just can't seem to locate the correct time to do so... Hahas. Ash is just one big confused dude.
I don't know whether I heard something. But I certainly hope I really heard it.
I'm telling myself 3 things: Patience, Perfection, Power.
Ever heard the story about the butterfly?
"A man found a cocoon of a butterfly. One day a small opening appeared. He sat and watched the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force its body through that little hole. Then it seemed to stop making any progress. It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it had and it could go no further.
Then the man decided to help the butterfly, so he took a pair of scissors and snipped off the remaining bit of the cocoon. The butterfly then emerged easily. But it had a swollen body and small, shriveled wings. The man continued to watch the butterfly because he expected that, at any moment, the wings would enlarge and expand to be able to support the body, which would contract in time.
Neither happened! In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around with a swollen body and shriveled wings. It never was able to fly.
What the man in his kindness and haste did not understand was that the restricting cocoon and the struggle required for the butterfly to get through the tiny opening were God's way of forcing fluid from the body of the butterfly into its wings so that it would be ready for flight once it achieved its freedom from the cocoon.
Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our life. If God allowed us to go through our life without any obstacles, it would cripple us. We would not be as strong as what we could have been. And we could never fly."
It's so true that obstacles are part of our lives. Sometimes we need others to give us a push to continue forging ahead. But when we become overly dependent and make them push us harder, we will definitely fall. The harder the push, the greater the fall. What we just need is that tap of encouragement from someone else.
Believe.
