Summer Curse

I always told people that summers are always unique. Summers are times when big things happen in my life that sets the course of how the rest of the year goes.

Tough as it is. I was reminded by my dad about something significant that led me in surrender to acceptance. The gate is narrow and the path is winding. Simply put in a way that we are expected to go through suffering, which is something that never stops. When Jesus called us to pick up our cross and follow Him, He included the word 'daily'. 

I know there are days of rest too, which all of us yearn to be living in. But ultimately, we are bound to be confronted with troubles. If you want to follow Jesus, this is what you would go through... suffering. Because you and I who are being saved by such grace no longer live for our own self, we pursue simplicity in such a way that complications of the world may learn to cease in light of His reign. 

How am I doing right now?...

I am anxious. I was bitter yet I survived with hope, hope that I do not comprehend; which can get the very curiosity of my restless mind. I am told that I am strong, and if not then I need to be for the sake of many. I knew about the life I would live would be one where I no longer live for my own but for Christ and others, and I am not going to stop now.
