Am I really progressing or am I just kidding myself?
Seems as if things are becoming better... getting to the right track (I hope!)... But many things are still bugging me.
Questions to ponder...
- What happened to the shy yet sociable gal?
- Why is she always so tired? Where did all the energy channel out to?
- What happened to her listening skills?
- What happened to her smiles?
- How much really have she grown spiritually, mentally and physically?
- Why does she always distracted with so many other things in her mind?
- What happened to the motivated girl? the one who wants to do her best in all the things she do?
- What happened to the fire within and the passion?
Questions after questions... after questions.. after more questions... *sigh*
I've been looking back so often and wondering what happened to those 'golden days' of my life.. that I neglect the idea of looking ahead.. maybe I'm just stuck. Very stuck...
Anyway... God makes things new each and everyday for us. I remember my friends, parents, pastors' msgs reminded me again and again not to look back anymore.. Look ahead.. look at the new things that God will do in my life. Look at the new promises ahead of me. The new joy, the new peace.. The new better person that God can make me to be. God gives us mercy anew each day.. He gives us new days! So, why am I still looking back to my 'golden days'? Why do I desire for those times...?
"Look ahead, my dear.. Look forward.. Don't look behind anymore.."
I keep giving myself the same advice over and over again. Make sure that it is written in my heart.
I have to believe it myself and hold unto the promise that..."God is going to do something new in my life", IF I let Him to do so.

forgetting what lies behind, setting our eyes and focus on what is ahead
Liza.. if you read Luke 15:11-31, You can see the difference between the journey of that 2 sons. The youngest son is able to move on because he realized that there is something better that he can go to and so he MOVED!
You are only stuck when you cant let go of things of ur past. The question you should ask yourself should actually be..
- Why cant I let go?
- Why cant I get myself going?
- What is holding me back?
- What can I do to get back that passion that fire again?
Giving yourself is just like giving advice to any other out there, giving advice is NOT gonna help unless you take it and use it.
Hey Lizzie.. I feel like asking you to not worry so much..
All you have to do is take things a step at a time, and trust in God.. Matthew 6:33
You know.. sometimes I worry a lot... until like cannot sleep that kind.. but I learnt that it's just pointless to worry.
I learnt that when you stop worrying, you will begin to find yourself again, and that victorious spirit will be found again, then all your passions and goodness will return.
We must just persevere and look forward when things don't go right.
God bless, Lizzie
