Lesson learnt

Finally, back in the blogging realm again.. its a good rest indeed. haha. Normal events can sometimes be a smack n reminder in the face of things in life and who God is.

Yesterday, was learning driving, the best part moving off from the slope. Geez.. its pretty frightening when the instructor says, let go the brakes, i was like "Noooooo" in my heart.. so i keep stepping on the brakes and he say, "let go the brakes, let go.." Stubbornly, in my heart "Noooooo".. sound alright and correct not to let go off the brakes because its a slope. But the point is if i dont let go of the brakes, how can i even learn how to move off the slope when i am near the top of the slope.

Point 1) There is a instructor in the car
Point 2) The car has two brakes, one on my side and one on the instructor side
Point 3) The stubborn native of myself refusing to let go of the brakes
Point 4) Being overwhelm by the situation and end up focusing on myself

What does all these points add up to?? Simply to say, I felt like I was whack across my head to be awaken by God. "Hey! Wake up dude... where's yer focus?"

Lesson learnt was: Stubborn native of mine often cause me to focus on my situation and myself incapabilities and to the extend that I forget a major point. God is still in the picture, I am like looking through a peep-hole when there is a big view for me to look thru'.

In situation of the driving, it took me a while to realise that "Hey, if i let go of the brakes, my instructor will step on the brakes at the moment where he wants the car to stop and start to let me practice my moving off." Basically, both of us are in a safe situation.

In terms of application in my life with God is alot of times I am still holding on to the brakes when God has already said, "Let go". By being stubborn, i cant learn anything and i end up focusing on the problem. I miss the big picture and God who is in control. There is nothing wrong noticing the risk being there but more importantly I should have focus on God who is greater than the risk. If God has called and shown the way, the risk is nothing because He is in control.

Just worrying doesnt help a single bit in life but worry and pray and trust in God and taking appropiate actions will do alot.
