Day 4 - Small Changes Lead to Bigger Ones

We will shine your light for all to see,
We will be the salt that flavors the earth,
We will be the vessel of the coming king,
For we know that you're the truth, the way and the life.

As containers of the Holy Spirit, we sometimes fail to shine bright enough in this already dimming world. We darken our lamps because we lose hope, and we don't take action. But we must not give up the fight against what I would call future shock. We must not be afraid of change.

So today, I went shopping. Finally...

And to those who think I am a bad shopper, I actually love shopping. If I had the money, I would go on a craze that would put Becky Bloomwood look like the old lady across the street who bought 3 tins of cat food with her credit card. I know that most people can do this, but I just thought that would clear some misconceptions of my lousy wardrobe...

And I invested in a beautiful and comfortable shirt, as well as a pair of pants. Let me tell you something, I have not had a pair of pants for quite some time already. I have cargos, I have jeans (although I was not a jeans fan, not having jeans for almost 6+ years...), I have business pants, but not a pair of ordinary pants. So, another weapon to the arsenal of clothing for self-improvement. Yay me. Oh, and to those who think that shirts are uncomfortable and unbearable, I promise you that after a while, it doesn't itch so much anymore and it becomes your second skin.

And I had discounts. And gift vouchers. So I felt not so guilty with spending all that money... I mean, I wasn't the one paying for it...

That brings us to the next topic at hand:

WORK

is what I require now. I mean, I'm not desperate for money or anything, but I think I should start becoming a little more self-sufficient, a little more independent, and a little less of a burden to my parents. But the one problem with finding a job is finding one that suits my already inflexible time schedule.

For now, a job would mean income. But, it still have to be something I have a passion for because I believe that it is important to love what you're doing. And I don't have a passion for that many things. But most of the time, I enjoy doing anything requiring the usage of my creativity. I actually even thought of writing a book... I even thought of creating handicraft... Until I start thinking about marketing problems... Sigh.

So if you don't have a job for me, I just ask you to do one thing for me. Pray. Pray hard. I thank you with all my heart if you did.

After tonight, I will only have 7 more days to change my life, and to change the life of people around me. But, I have faith that miracles do happen. I have faith that something magical will take place in my life, as well in yours.

7.
