Handling heartbreaks

By -
Nothing is worse than someone breaking your
heart. To need somebody so badly and then to
have to let them go is hard. And as we grow older,
the more people break our hearts, the worse it can
feel each time.

Broken hearts are depressing, embarrasing and
difficult. Fortunately, heartbreak doesn't last
forever.

Let yourself let go

In dealing with a broken heart, the first thing is to
let go completely. If it was not meant to be, then
just let them go, and trust that someone better is
going to come along. If we go back to that person
who broke our hearts, they will see us as nothing
more than defeated, and we would risk
embarassment. A good way to just let go is to
resist the urge to return, and simply avoid calling
them on the phone, emailing or contacting them
otherwise.

Feel your heart

It's okay to feel bad. Take some time to feel bad.
Take a walk by yourself, or listen to some sad
music. There is value to every feeling, as every
feeling teaches us something new about
ourselves.




Talk to somebody about it. A close friend will let
you vent all of your anger




As time goes on we
and move further and
further away into the 'past.' And as each day
passes by, the hurt will go away, little by
little, until
we don't even remember the pain at all.

Keep your eyes forward
The future is rushing towards us faster than
we can comprehend, and if we keep
our heads turned backwards, looking at the past,
we will miss seeing everything that the
future is bringing to us.


Found this on friendster. Got nothing to do, so cut and paste. Decided to share it with those who dun have friendster. People, remember, Look forward to your future, rather than living back in the past.

Parable of the 'Good Samaritan'

By -
Once there was this man traveling from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell among thorns, and the thorns spring up and choked him. And as he went on, he didn’t have money, and he met the Queen of Sheba, and she gave him 1,000 talents of gold and 100 changes of raiment. And he got into a chariot and drove furiously, and when he was driving under a big juniper tree, his hair caught on a limb of that tree, and he hung there many days, and the ravens brought him food to eat and water to drink, and he ate 5,000 loaves of bread and two fishes. One night when he was hanging there asleep, his wife Delilah came along and cut off his hair, and he dropped, and fell on stony ground. But he got up and went on, and it began to rain, and it rained forty days and forty nights, and he hid himself in a cave, and he lived on locust and wild honey. Then he went on ‘til he met a servant who said, “Come, take supper at my house.” And he made an excuse and said, “No, I won’t. I have married a wife, and I c...

Of Teaching and Learning

Over the past two weeks, I was invited to attend a block class on "Learning to Teach." After two weeks of class, here are some reflections that I have. We thank God Bro Casey is a pretty humane teacher... :P  Firstly, teaching needs to meet the changing challenges of the 21st century. This is especially pertinent with all the advancements in technology as well as the worldview changes with the generation today. There is simply no room for the teacher to remain stagnant and not be able to keep up with times so as to engage their students and to facilitate learning. Applying to theological education and Bible school, we have to consider what kind of ministers we are training for the churches in the 21st century. If we are training ministers who are able to engage today’s generation, then we need to review the current methods of teaching and train ministers to be savvy in social media and technology and be able to make use of them in their ministries. Reflecting back on...

Of Exegesis, Wedding Preparation and the Whole Lot of Things: Another Reflection

By -

To those who know what happened, the past months since the start of 2016 had been very stressful to me. In the preparation to my impending wedding this coming October, my future father-in-law decided to throw a few spanners into the wedding preparation by declaring that he was not comfortable with me as a life partner to his daughter because I am a full time Christian worker and more importantly because I come from a different family background from her.  The latter means that there are certain practices in my own family which are unthinkable in his worldview on how a family should function. This led to intense tensions between Angelina and myself. To compound the stress, NT Exegesis class was not that easy also and the stress of meeting the deadlines mean that I sometimes did not have the time to reflect deeper into the situations I was facing in my relationship.  However, studying the text of Philemon 15-20 reminded me of the way we should conduct our relationship ...
