It happens for a reason

It's been a while, I know. My life has had it's ups and downs lately. There are nights where I feel like I can do anything and there are nights like the one I had last night. I was feeling sad for no apparent reason. But it's all good. These things happen. It's called being a teenager and having feelings. It's holy week and I have the whole week off. So I've decided to take this boring Monday to just write a little.

I'm taking this week and I'm tweeting as less as I possibly can. My life is good enough without having to constantly read tweets from people that can only make me feel inferior. I need to feel good about myself, and lately Twitter hasn't really helped. It's why I've backed away from it. Everything happens for a reason doesn't it? Well, my cellphone's screen cracked yesterday when I dropped it at church and my phone is no longer working. God must be telling me something. This week, I'm going to put my mind to work. I want to be creative, I want to do things that don't involve sitting infront of the computer screen all day. Wake up earlier than I usually would, enjoy nature, have some "me" time. A few weeks ago, I visited a church with a large youth group. I felt accepted and comfortable in the environment. The people in that room reminded me of myself and who I want to be. You would never imagine that they even go to church if you see them walking around the streets. Point is, the invited speaker that night was a lady with a beautiful testimony. God has literally given her everything she currently has but she had to give up so many things and she had to wait so many years for all of these things. In the end it was totally worth it. She talked about God's time and asked us if we were living in God's time or if we were only living our own time. The time we live in. Letting our lives pass us by with no purpose to it. It's my time to synchronize with the kairos.

What time are you living in?
