I used to love coloring books. Even when I reached high school, I still bought coloring books and...well, color them! I enjoyed bringing life to Snow White and the seven dwarfs but I always missed the lines, though. Don't know if my hands were slanted in the wrong way, or if the borders of Snow White's skirt were too thin.

I used to love checking the text books of my two older brothers. Left-handed since I learned how to write, I always checked them the wrong way. Instead of this ---> / way, I did it this way --> \.
I just knew that I was doing it wrong when I started going to school and saw how teachers checked my notebooks.

It's really funny how things change through time...

Now, I am totally different, but somehow, I know that I'm still the same.

From the time I knew that I can be free from sadness, envy, depression...and all those dirty stuff, I now enjoy my life EVERY SINGLE DAY! Even I could not believe it. When I was in college, I used to wonder how people seem to take things easy and asked myself, 'Why couldn't I live my life like that?'

Now, every waking moment is now a real WAKING MOMENT to me - alive, dynamic, moving, feeling, being.

Why? One Man I have fallen in love with. And I choose to love Him not just by my emotions, not just through good times, but by my will. If that would mean loving Him in times of trouble, in times of difficulties, then I will. Because Jesus has laid down His life for me. He also laid down two choices that I have to make every day. Life or death. Blessing or cursing. And what was Jesus' command? CHOOSE LIFE.

I decide, I choose and I abide.

Jesus' message to me while I was reading the Word was, 'Now, remain in my love.' NOW. Not tomorrow, not next week...NOW.
