the bible says that prayer and faith moves mountains. well, what then creates mountains? let’s break it down here. mountains are problems. be it relationship, finances, health, whatever that may be. so what creates them? yes, sometimes its our stupidity, sometimes its just ignorance, for me, its usually stupidity. but what drives these problems and keeps them thriving?
i think its fear that drives these mountains to grow. fear that our relationships with our friends with be broken if we tell them the truth. fear that our finances will dwindle even more when we give to God. fear that our lives will come crashing down if we (God forbid) are diagnosed with cancer. we tell ourselves millions of “buts” (yes, kristy, i know!) and “ifs” when in fact, deep down in our hearts, we wouldnt want to admit that we are afraid.
but where fear thrives, faith cannot. we need to come up to a point in our situation when we cut ourselves from the fear thats eating in us and turn to Jesus. we need to tell Jesus to step into the situation and all. but that requires faith on our part. faith is a simple action that requires a lot of willpower. its as simple as trusting someone, but as difficult as staying faithful to your wife/husband/boyfriend/girlfriend. temptations to jump overboard will be inevitable when you want to stand by your faith. but at the end of he day, just like the most beautiful of relationships, when a husband stays faithful to a wife, they will live happily ever after. and well, i guess we will also stay happily ever after with Jesus.
Who says fairy tale endings don’t occur in the world anymore? (:

i spent the afternoon watching shakespear in love. very sad ending. it has almost got a similar characteristic to the ending of Sweet november. i dunno which came first though. what i am very inspired by is their use of english in the movie. dialogues like “young bird on an old pomegranate tree” just plays with your mind. very nice play of the english language.

i think girl is a quaint creature. she doesn’t see someone she loves for a long time and when they really do miss that him. but when he asks her out, girl declines and then complains to him. but, i think its because girl doesnt just want part of him, she wants all of him. selfish, but, i think its very sweet.
