the mind & the world

hi peeps, yesterday got up really early @ 6am to prepare myself since i am involved in the 'chorale support' for service. Basically, it just means that i am on stage singing & doing some actions .. haha.. it has been ages since i last 'perform' on stage.I think the very last time was in primary school where we have the end of year concert every year when i was in childcare.

Maybe its because we went up on stage as a group and i was standing behind, it wasnt daunting at all given that there were few thousands of people off stage. We had a rehearsal on Thurday night and i wasnt really active in all the jumpings & movements and the pastor noticed me.LOL.But yesterday was fine, i prayed for the courage to be on stage and also to forget about the pain on my feet. (had blisters on both feets,it was tormenting to be walking) The worship ended after 40 mins, and i enjoyed the worship.

After the service, i went for lunch & had a 3 hrs nap zzzzzzzzz... i've noticed that there is some form of transition in my style of studying now and i felt abit 'worried' as it is a change. The change makes everything seemed unconstant yet the only constant in life is change?Anyway, i am slowly accepting this transition and is also trying to study abit in the night ( i dont study in the night if you know me..)

I've been reading forums, and i saw many people commenting about flunking their units in school. It got me anxious as i know there is a possibility for such thing to happen, but the possibility is dependant on ourselves too. I am encouraged by this verse, and hopes it encourages you too!

'Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is – his good, pleasing and perfect will'

Romans 12:2

It says "do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world",

[to me it means] "do not think like the world thinks"

some people have the potential in them, but because of 'constraint' or 'limitations' they set upon themselves, they are unable to perform as well as they should be. Often, we conform to what the world is, it is relatively easy to conform instead of being different.

Instead, we should renew our mind (the thoughts in our head) It all goes back to the previous entries i 've typed.

"The way you THINK determines the way you FEEL, and the way you feel determines the way you ACT. So if you want to change your actions, you've got to go back to the source and CHANGE the way you THINK."

If you want to break off from conformity, you gotta first CHANGE the way you THINK.Only than your actions would speak of your CHANGED thoughts.

Are you encouraged/ready to make a change in your life? You just gotta make a 1st step : )
