having faith on faith itself

undescribable. unexplainable. unseen. faith is believing or trusting on something or someone. well, thats what i think most people would think or as explained in dictionaries. but in general, faith usually is related to christianity. why? is it because faith is usually practiced and used in a christian walk? does other religion practices it as well? does other religion or other people believe in faith? and how would you describe faith to a non christian?

for other religion (shall not be specific in the religions here), their faith would probably be a different definition. mostly would belive in the what they see and what seems logical and explainable to them. or rather, they would believe in themselves cause thats the only thing that they definetely have faith in. crystals are some of the examples that some people believe or have faith in. believing that crystals would allow them to have good luck, getting the right person, excelling in studies.. and not doing anything about it. somehow, i think, not everyone would think about faith.

as a christian, we would explain faith as to what the bible believes it to be. knowing that we have the knowledge of the Word and of the knowledge of Christ, we know that faith is believing of thing that are unseen and eternal (2 cor 4:18). but frankly speaking, sometimes as a christian, our faith weary. how is it that we can faith on faith itself?

when the rubber hits the road, how can we prove to others what does faith means to us personally? are we able to still stand strong and act as if everything was beautiful? in our daily lives, we are already worrying about what will happen. well, probably not everyone but i know i do. everyday when i go to work, i think about what will my clients react today at work, what will my bosses be thinking about the company and my future in the company, what will happen when my colleagues complain so much that it reaches the managements, what has happened to my friends that i think are back-slidding, am i accountable to what happens to them? (yes, i think awfully alot of things) all these questions keep poundering to me. some are personals, some are general but all in all, do i have faith that God will take control of everything that i am dealing with? trusting in God is having in God that He knows what to do with all the mess that i go through but yet, i'm constantly thinking about the 'trash' that is filling my mind. its not easy letting go.

well, i guess need to 'be still and know that He is God'.

introduction

this is a blog about a girl that is constantly blur about her surroundings and trying to find some sense in everything.

well, life as it is can be simple and it can also be as complex as we decide it to be. most of the time as we perceive things, we make the simple things.. complex. take for example, for a typical person, when we loose a job or fail in a major exam. we usually see it as 'its the end of the world..', 'i'm doomed..'. then we'll start to worry about other stuff like, what will others think? what am i going to do? what is my parents going to say to me? what will.... that sorta things.

well, i'm just like that.

i guess its no doubt that we do worry about everything and anything under the sun since ages ago. King Solomon would probably agree with it, just read in the whole Ecclesiastes 1. i was browsing my colleague's book the other day (Dilbert and the Way of a Weasel, by Scott Adams), there was a statement that said something like, 'deep in us, there is a whining bank in us. And we have to use up all the whining in us before we die'. hmm, how interesting. but above all that we complaint about at the end of everyday, like what King Solomon said, it actually just.. meaningless.

well, i'm not all perfect and all wise up yet if not i wouldn't name this blog blurred. i'm still learning in all the events that takes place. i often wonder how is it that others can see things simple in the complexity of life. i hope that others can help me out, too!

blurred about blogging

after much thinking and consideration, i have decided to blog. well, either this stays long or not, that will be up to a few issues:

1. my discipline to actually type something here
2. response from others

but whatever it is, i think i have actually started doing something that i never thought i'd do it, although this was my last year's resolution to do it.

anywayz, after much encouragement from other regular bloggers (thank you very much for the encouragement!) i have decided to go on with this. to post on what i am actually (and seriously) blur about in life's simple complexities. *wink*
