Day 4 - Softer

the devotional today really talked about something. being softer. a practice that is tough and agonizing for me but completely necessary and constantly practiced. are you afraid of being seen as the pacified peacekeeper instead of the fierce iron fisted tyrant?

today i just remembered to return my old keys to the other tenant, and in the process, tie up the moving out from the house in Bangsar. its a long and boring story, in which i was tempted to shoot some fiery arrows of my own when i got asked to pay up for my internet and return my keys not so politely. in an SMS. just before sat service was beginning.

love is hard to give when the person is treating you with less than love. nothing new.
haha put yourself in Jesus' ____ (boots of divine omnipresence?)
and just wonder what he would want you to do?

but i still wanted to rain arrows on him.
then i stopped.
just another day the enemies are playing their games..
just like you shouldn't and will regret rushing into enemy territory (listen!)
another day, another way.
let him have his say.
we're won anyway.
take it away, take it away...!


on another note, i thought i'd be late for the class in uni today because there was some stalling on the federal highway, and when i reached the 'bottleneck' it was just a few workers patching up ONE hole on ONE lane. maybe its not safe to do it middle of the night? roadkill express perhaps?

consumer behaviour class was interesting- ms Julianna Angeline French let us share in front of the class about ourselves- and lo and behold there were a fair share of christians and others she refered to as 'seekers'. i'm glad and respect individuals who pray for their institutions and take an active role even in their line of work! she's vocal and defies the boring styles- one more reason to remember her name ;)


other than that, its 2 days off official church activities.
praying for breakthroughs!
