Wednesday Fever: The Stagnant Situation

It's been a rough world, but look on the brightside in every darkness there's always light. Happy world, Sad world. Turn it again and again its just the same. The choices we make. The mistake we try to fix. For every maze of frustration there will always be an exit. 
LIFE IS A TEST everybody say. Think that everyday is a new day, everyday there's always challenges to face, starting from the time you have to get up in the morning, through the day doing a  lot of things, catching up with time and schedule, deadlines and just working until it's time to end the day, upto the moment you lay down to your bed. It is already a challenge opening your eyes in the morning. 
Next, our daily battles we fought not in its truest sense. The world is a big battle field, our everyday living is a battle field. Every where you go there's always war. Even inside our head; good and evil. You'll never close your eyes without finishing those battles it might be not yet over, but who knows. Tell me frankly, You lie in your bed thinking what happened to you that day and you think if there are things that you should have done or probably another way around. We also learn a lot of things in just one day. It's ridiculous if there's none! Learning from the challenged or trials we face through everyday we have to know and discover what is our potential in a very demanding events of our lives. It wont stop until we take our very last breathe. Again there's a lot of things to learn, to fix something broken, to mend a pain, to heal the wounds, to discover, to prevent doing the same mistake over and over again. Come on! Open up your mind. Maybe most of us waking up in the morning is just another thing to do, going to school, job, do hobbies, buy stuff, etc. If you're thinking that you're in a situation that is monotonous and it becomes stagnant you'll get bored with life. I will tell you it takes just one step to change it all, it takes you to change your perception and thinking to change your world to a new one.
I'll give you one example you know Squidward Tentacles? This grumpy character in Spongebob Squarepants? There's one episode that He moved out to tentacle village because he get tired of having two dumb neighbors. He wants to have a kind of life that is what he wants, peaceful. Where he can do everything he wants starting from his hobbies. Moving on he did moved out. Its like heaven to him, all his neighbors are squid, they do biking every morning, play clarinet in the park, buy their favorite food, dance and so it goes on like that every day and every day and every day. What happened? He get tired of doing the same thing, he got bored. Then one day he sat in a bench very sad and then he saw a vacuum and tried to play with it, he giggles, he laugh and so on. See that? It really takes just one action to make a difference in your life, to make it not stagnant at all.

Like the weather it changes depending on the month. Like rain if we look at it on a positive output it fun to look at it, its cold, nice to sleep in at night or day, the sound of dripping water. It's calming. I know some times rain can send a bad typhoon or hurricane it can become violent and destroy everything, it is the same way in life. We are the ones that are affected by it. It can change us. But what am I really trying to say is that there's good in everything. World can be violent, people can be violent, it get destroy everyday and you don't want to see that. But let me tell you something you see that picture the big panda bear and the person beside it? Think that the big panda bear is God and that person is you. Cute huh? It always depends on our perception, our point of view how we see and live our lives. Changing, from that word I learned a lot from what life I had and will have in the future. I never close my door to any possibilties, my world changes everyday, I always need improvement for myself, growth and maturity. God is been loving, just and faithful to His promises. Even though I do evil in his sight, I'm still overwhelmed by the fact that He loved me long before I met and loved him. But of course in my side I need to hate and avoid sinful lifestyle at all cost. He delivers mercy, He tested me through my very weakest points not to runaway from it but to have a valiant attitude to face it. I admit that most of the time I'm being approached by different situations that I never thought I'm becoming immature towards it. I've been blinded to the things that is laid out for me, because of fear, I think negatively before even I started, but I shouldn't be. So I take an action or a step to make a difference. Let say it is not easy, there's no such things an easy way out. If life is a test of course God wants us to overcome it no matter what. Right? We can make it. 
"God is present even in our adversity and "If your are ever in a furnace of adversity, there is only one way way to cope with the situation... and that is BY FAITH." 
In case you might not understand this now, maybe someday you will if you open yourself up to the possibilities that God has in store for you beyond the adversity of the world. I'll be glad to share my faith if you guys want to know what it is. =)

There's always new things in our every day life , we just need guts to discover what are those things. Its a big world  out there and it is scary, but we have to face it with out head held high. We have to be excited to know what is ahead of us or maybe its just around the corner. Who knows? Two side good or bad we need to face these two words that is in the world, within us and still stand firm on faith we have. People might say its crazy but always remember its between you and God, and its between them and God. Do not be afraid to face reality, we're still here on earth so we have to balance it. Its been quite a wild ride, but its more fun knowing that God is with you and in you.
