In conjunction with the new year, my resolution was set up and apparently one so was to lose myself of my obsession with.. well.. ahem.. a special someone.. to me.. apparently.. Yeah.. love can be unrequited. BACK TO THE POINT!
Upon my decision, I felt this sudden feeling of unrest stirring with me, uncomfortable and guilty of what I am doing.. either towards the person or in general. I prayed and consulted God of this decision that I made and I finally saw a few things, which, well, spoke to me.
First of all there was this particular verse that popped up in my head at which Paul talks about the role of the conscience working together with the Spirit, where Paul says that the conscience will approve/support of what the Spirit wills. My conscience condemns me of my decision.
Secondly, I read a post where it says that "If your resolution is in line with God's will, you will receive help. But if it's not, you will not receive help". Apparently, I didn't receive help, in my own personal opinion. So there. Resolution banished.
Pushing all those aside, I really wanna thank Cheryl for the two words she gave me come 2012. They were "Ebenezer" and "Eirene" (Tempted to write it in Greek: Ειρενε). Ebenezer, is found in 1 Sam. 14 and it means "stone of help" which signifies God helping the Israelites all the while. "Eirene" however means "peace", which signifies the peace of God, as depicted in Phil. 4:7. Ebenezer was for 2011 and Eirene for 2012. What she meant was that God has been with me all the while, helping me throughout 2011 and God's peace will also follow me into 2012. Thank me for sharing this with you. xP. just kidding. I hope that all this does speak to you as it has spoken to me.
Oh oh!! As this day (2nd Jan 2012) comes to a close, I would proudly proclaim that I have stopped my gaming for exactly 2 days. Well.. thats 2 down then... 364 days to go! Well.. not really 364 la.. until SPM is gone with.
That's it for today I guess.. Hehe!
Signing off,
