School starts and so it did

i am really looking forward to this whole new year in school especially since it will be my last year in university. i guess we make out what we want from the places we are placed. what resonates in me more is the excitement to see what God has installed as i start to let him take control of my life. less of me more of Him.

there are 2 things which i think helped me build my confidence up once again. and i thought it was best that i could share. it might make sense to you now or it might not. but i do hope that someday it will make sense.

1. The only fear that we should have is of God.

2. Less of myself, more of You

explaining 1:

i figured out that every other fear apart from the fear of God is bad and it does not come from God. when i start to fear people/things, i start to cast my fear onto God and it is amazing to see the other fears flee. knowing that i do not need to fear anything else but God, it allows me to be who I am and who God intended me to be.

Isaiah 33:6 - the fear of the Lord is the key to this treasure.

explaining 2:

i felt God telling me this while i was in a church camp as a group leader to teenagers and totally stepping out of my comfort zone. i had to do cheers for the first time in my life and i was to lead them. it totally made me put my "trying to look-cool-matured" look down as i embraced more confidence from God. as i think less about myself, and more about God, i realize i am able to do things that i thought i won't possibly do.

well, it might seem like all these just probably applied to me; but if you don't believe it applies to you, try it yourself! =)

i feel that i can't just contain all these things i am experiencing from God without sharing them. it is just like how i just love to share the amazing landscapes God has shown me through the photos i take. *the photo: Yosemite Valley over Spring*
