18Do not deceive yourselves. If any one of you thinks he is wise by the standards of this age, he should become a "fool" so that he may become wise. 19For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God's sight. As it is written: "He catches the wise in their craftiness"a]">[a]; 20and again, "The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are futile."b]">[b] 21So then, no more boasting about men! All things are yours, 22whether Paul or Apollos or Cephasc]">[c] or the world or life or death or the present or the future—all are yours, 23and you are of Christ, and Christ is of God. --1 Corinthians 3:18-23
I always believed that things in my life happened for a reason. The passage above seems to explain very well why things happened thus far.
I was born into a Christian family. I went to church every single Sunday of my life since birth until college when my church going became more infrequent. Finally 23 years later, I want to live my life as a true Christian.
I've only started reading the Bible not too long ago... it's pretty amazing how this book reaches so closely to my heart...
I will dedicate this blog towards recording my spiritual journey.

I have been complaining for the past 4-6 months or so (as far as I could remember) of how my life simply did not turn out exactly how I wanted it to be.
In the eyes of strangers I could always hide my sadness, bitterness, sense of failure, and self doubt... all you gotta do is just smile and walk away. But one thing I couldn't do was walking away from my self. The more I hid, the more heavy my heart fell.
The purpose of this entry, however, is not to end there.
SOMETHING happened beginning of this year. God happened.
In my attempt to introduce God to my friend, Michael, I ended up re-introducing God into my life. How God works so wonderfully...
I finally feel overjoyed with my life. I feel calm. I feel relaxed. I feel happy with where I am in my life. I feel happy with who I have become.
The girl who looked down on everyone's flaws became the girl with more flaws than anyone she has met and God helped see her sins. He helped her sympathize and have compassion for others. He helped her not be stumbled by others' sins; instead, He gave her the heart to help others... God's love is so over-powering it's hard to think about without tears.
God centered life IS by FAR the most rewarding life any one could ever live.
This journey I am on is one hell of a journey and I am loving every moment of it.
