The Cross

Many things have happened since my last post including:

• RICE Catalyst
• Trials lockdown (today)
• I found someone to talk to about my struggles since she struggles with the same things
• My study wall made some new friends
• I finished the pages on my QT diary and it's time to start a new one

So RICE Catalyst was more helpful for me on a personal level rather than on an evangelistic level tbh. I guess it reminded me that life is never about me or my achievements but rather, about God and His love for me seen on the cross. Not a new concept but one that needs to be reflected on everyday. What I mean by my wall making new friends is that:

A while ago, I blutak'd "277 Park Avenue" on my wall to motivate me and pinned my todo lists around it. I suppose it signifies that everything revolved around this address, this position. (My wall is a Visual Representation). After Catalyst and my reminder of what life is about: Jesus. I rearranged my wall and put The Cross right in the middle to remind me that it is what my life should be revolving around. Not some address. It's perfectly in my peripheral vision when I study so I'm reminded of it all the time. 

ANALOGY TIME (this is metaphorical)

My wall only has a certain amount of space. I can try to fit everything in my life on it. Sometimes, there's so much on my wall that the cross gets lost in all the papers and photos (relationships) that I stick on my wall. It will get covered up and forgotten as much as I don't want it to. But I know eventually I will see the mass of papers on my wall and ask myself what the purpose is. Then I will slowly take them all off and let them go (ehehhe) and find that the cross was always there, I just covered it up with other things that were more important at the time. 

So yes, my trials lockdown begins today. 10 hour days yeeeeeeeeeeeey

Here is a verse that I read today that reminded me of God's incomparable glory. He was comparing Himself to idols so it reminded me that my idols cannot compare AT ALL. 

"With whom will you compare me or count me equal?

To whom will you liken me that we may be compared?"

- Isaiah 46:5
