Long Time Coming

Last night I called my parents - I usually talk to them at least once a week... It's always nice to hear that familiar voice... I guess I have always found comfort knowing that someone is praying for me - well in my case... this time, they got everyone they know to pray for me and my finals... and *smiles* I LOVE THEM for that!

So during that short half an hour conversation (usually it can go up to an hour... maybe more), somehow I found myself telling my dad this miraculous story about my week - about this assignment of mine... and He told me something that I thought was so interesting...

'Write it down! Pen those stories down... cuz if not in time u'll forget how gracious God has been to you these 3 years...'

I think we've all established the fact that NOPE - I have NEVER been a good writer... YES I talk A LOT but NO I don't write very well... But I think I wanna challenge myself this time around... That I will NOT keep all these miraculous testimonies to myself... In that little pink diary of mine... :)

I have always LOVED telling stories... and I have ALWAYS believed in the power of stories... LOVED hearing them, loved reading them... so maybe writing stories and telling them to people are actually very similar!

So I will try (can't promise it'll happen) but I'll try to pen down how good God has been to me :) Personally... I RESPECT people having different faiths (I REALLY DO and I could NEVER dream of forcing what I believe in down someone's throat)

But I think I've tried fitting in this world for too long now... See, today I watch this OLD movie 'What a girl wants' and this quote HIT ME!

'Why are you trying so hard to fit in when u were born to stand out?'

So I have decided... I don't really care if people started arguing on the existence of God and religion - which one is the right one and which isn't...

These are MY STORIES and what I believe... :)
I believe in Life! in Living LIFE to the fullest... and for me to do that -> I NEED to believe that miracles ARE REAL... and there is HOPE and LOVE and HAPPINESS still left for people in this world to believe in :)

So ya! I've always thought Albert Einstein was a wise man...

'There are only two ways to live your life
One is as though nothing is a miracle
The other is as though EVERYTHING is a miracle'

And I think... I'd want to LIVE like the latter... :D
