today didn't really start out so well.
as we were living the house, parents had one of there stupid tiffs again.
and then in the car, my mom said some stuff which really hurt me and i started crying.
i asked myself: why can't she accept me for the way I am? I know that she really loves me a lot, but some of the things she says to me are just really hurting. I thought it would spoil my mood for the whole day.
But halfway through the car journey, I plugged into my ipod and just started listening to praise and worship songs to calm myself down. And i realised, this is one of the advantages of having God in your life. When things like these happen, the PandW songs can really calm you down cause you know that day have meaning and the element of God in it that will definitely cheer you up. I think that if i were not with God today, I would have probably listened to a song that would not help at all. Cause most of the seccular songs of today are about emo-ness and depression and negativity.
Today's sermon was just a great way to start of the year. To start the year with God is the best and plan according to God's plan because God's plan is the best for us.
And today, while worshipping God, I was still bearing a grudge against my mom cause of what she said. But i was reminded that no one, except God Himself is perfect. Man will definitely fail us, but God will stick close to us. Just having God in my life is enough for me to live.
I guess that we cannot expect too much from Man cause we are imperfect. One person's strength can be another's weakness but we just have to know that we are made in God's image. Fearfully and wonderfully made.
And Lord I lift Your name up higher,
Higher than all things upon the Earth.
And Lord i lift Your name up higher,
Higher than all else.
