HIS Creation

Do you realize how easy it is to say " If that ever happened to me, I certainly won't act like this," but when it really comes down to it, you end up acting exactly how you said you would never act.
Lol. Was driving today and someone refused to give me way and the only thought I had at that time wasn't to turn the other cheek but "stupid stupid stupid, get off the road." And of course I remembered a time when I told others that if I ever drove, I would always remain patient. Lol. Shows how much I know about myself at that time.
Anyway, that got me thinking about how many other times I've said things like that, and ended up doing the opposite. How many more times will I be doing the same thing too. Obviously, we all know what's the right thing to do, but how often do we actually do it?
The other problem this may bring is that people who usually say this tend to think of those who fall into the temptation of going in the opposite direction as being weaker or less disciplined etc. Hence, being judgmental and prideful. This of course blinds them to their own flawed character because they are too busy being high and mighty( and yes I am one of them).
I was reading Love Beyond Reason by John Ortberg, and one story struck me anew. It was a story about a single mom, raising a daughter with so many physical deficiencies that doctors don't predict that she would live. Now usually when we hear of this kind of stories, our natural answer when asked if we would do the same would be "Of course." But when you really go through it, would you be strong enough to say the same thing then? I don't know if I can but I do know that God can and did. He didn't just say to Man, "I love you and I would do anything to save you." and then not be willing to go through any pain for us. He proved His love and His word, but coming down to earth, through Jesus Christ, went through all sorts of things that would probably make me a blubbering idiot, and promptly died for me. And that is what I like to call, a God of His word. God shows us how insignificant words are without deeds. And how much one might have to go through in order to hold true to his word, to the love that he professes. So the next time someone asks you, "what if you were..., what would you do?" Don't be so quick to answer. Think about it first, be really sure. Coz not doing it would be an equivalent to breaking a promise to your unborn child, or to your friend, or even to yourself.

And wow, I wrote an essay. Didn't mean to actually.
Anyway, whee... I've gotten 4 of my modules settled. Doing Principles of modern Chem, Basic Inorganic Chem, Applied math to sci and genes & society. Lol. Anyone doing the same? Hopefully can get my last module done by the next round of bidding and I don't have to worry all the way till school starts. Lol.

Jump concert is coming. But still lots to practise, getting more stressed up by it. Haha, ah well, what will come will come. Do drop by if you're free on that day ok? It's on the 22nd of Aug:P

I realized I'm blogging always at vampire hours, so I think I better log off now...
I'm off... ok I'm off... I'm off... er... nvm
