wisdom in parents

i think i'm going to blog more frequently.. lol that is if i'm actually diligent enough... considering i use the com everyday and stuff... and having tons of opinions and thoughts...

i've prepared tmr's one... cos it's too unholy for a sunday. nah cos i haven't really completely put all my thoughts together on that...

well today sermon by Pastor Joshua was really good huh... linked up with teacher ron's one. no condemnation. no separation. from a wonderful God. who loves me. :)

anw b4 service i was just thinking about bgr.. for generally sec sch pple... (i'm not even gonna talk abt poly it's far too childish).. and i saw such wisdom in the things that my mummy dearest instilled into me in my preteen years..

sometimes u noe as a leader of such precious lives, you really don't want to see some things happen to them that happened to yourself. and you know that you really don't want them to fall into that sort of situation and u want to pull them out fast? well basically i've learnt that it's not possible. cos they won't learn anything... so it's really about trusting God.. and guiding them..

well yeah so i was looking back at the things my mum taught me... i used to hate it.. since i was 12 i think til about 15 i had about 20 of these talks. lol. seriously. she used to go on about how dating too young isn't good or neccessary. she said she thought 20 was a good age and i told myself "oh gosh! i'd be ancient by then! i think i'll have my first bf at 15" well 15 came and that din happen.. then 16 came and i really couldn't be bothered anymore. in the sense i was so happy being single (which i think is a much better reason than "oh cos my mum doesn't allow me" and i had to go think this over recently but praise Jesus i'm happy).

in retrospect, she din not allow me (ifyougetwadimean).. she din stop guys from calling or even coming over... and she cooked for them.. (this was when i was abt 16).. yeah i think she brought me up good lol.

and i also realised that when i go shopping with my parents they spend tons more than i do when i buy things.. i mean i buy lots but cheaper. they buy a few for me and it's like quite mad price wise..

so i've come to realise that parents are wise. they really know alot and have experienced so much and give the advice they do because of it. esp when they're Christian and they go to new creation church!! woohoo!!

deacon Chin once said parents were spiritual leaders and i firmly believe in that. after all they're the ones that God gave authority and pleasure to give birth to us, to bring us up, to take care of us. it's really wise to give weight to what they say cos it's really true and wise.

i understand not everyone has Christian parents. i've talked to a friend who told me about his fam life. and the thing i want to say is that whatever your family life is like see it as blessed (as blessed as mine and beyond. double portion amen) because we have the same Daddy. and you have your leaders in DARE :)

yeah... so. i love my parents.

hmm the last part just brought up another thought.. isn't it strange some things seem easier to trust God for? but i guess it's good too... we grow as we trust God..
