Annie was chatting with me this morning. Apparently her kid is big enough for her to feel the movements inside of her womb, and she is looking fwd for the baby to be born. I guess everything with Annie's relationship from TW happened with a lightening speed, but at least she is feeling happy right now. I think it is very important for people to learn how to move on. I am glad Annie moved on from her previous failures and found what she wanted, at least for now.
I personally think moving on is so freaking important that everyone has to kick their own butts and do it. We have seen and deal with friends who just want to sit there doing nothing, but wish for everything to change their way. What happens when people do that? well....I can't say nothing ever gets changed, but things surely don't change much. Sometimes people even pull God into the picture and say "I am waiting for God to show me signs"...but then we often don't look in the directions God wants us to look, right?
Dad was talking about how a person dying in the water needs to raise his/her hand to get saved. Is the person able to save himself by raising the hand? no...but then if he does not raise the hand then how are others supposed to save him? Yes, a paradox in a way...but no...it's really just common sense. We may be asking God to save us when we are dying in the water, but then when God sends airplanes, ships, even just a rope from the shore....we may turn it down and say "no...this is not God"....Who are we to say what is God and what is not God? Seriously I dare not make the assumption.
I have this tendency of being annoyed when nothing gets moved or changed for a long period of time. I think it is only human, but then God does want us to wait at times. Nevertheless we still have to do our parts dealing with our very own problems. God does not have to be blamed or "summoned" just because we are not feeling like facing our problems. To find the balance of "doing" and "waiting" is always the most difficult. To remain uplifted in spirit when nothing goes right is almost impossible....That is why we do need some "gambade" from friends/families around us I would say....

what the heck is gambade?
K....for those of you who don't know Japanese...Gambade is "add oil" in Chinese...For those of you who don't know Chinese...too bad...lol...
Ah, yes, having close and loving fellowship is most definitely a good way to add oil to someone who's feeling down! This is why fellowship is important.
BTW, doing and waiting can be paradoxical too! When we are doing, it doesn't mean we're not still waiting. When we are waiting, it doesn't mean we can't do anything. Both can exist at the same time!
