Today my mom had off, so I managed to talk to her about dad.
And I found some enlightment through her words and her perception.
"When things are going smooth, the devil will strike at our hearts to destroy the family peace. This year the employment rate has been low, so your sister blessed not only to have gotten a job, but one with a favorable salary. And I, and your father, haven't been retrenched. Not to mention you successfully got enrolled into the University. But now that your dad has become like this, there's only one reason I can think of - its that satan is striking at us. Evil will always come and attempt to steal our happiness away. There's no other reason I can think of why your dad's become like this - its like something's possessed his heart. He's never like this at all."
I'm glad I have a mom who's a devout christian, and moreso than I am.
I couldn't understand why my dad became so temperamental, and I really didn't know what to do about it. But when I heard my mom's opinion about all of this, I could finally realize that this was the devil's work. And this problem isn't something easily solved, and so we must turn to God for guidance.
This makes me think that God is testing my new-found faith - a revelation of sorts. Remember I said starting this year I had my faith renewed? I think God is using this new situation to bait me - whether I will pray to Him for guidance, or turn my eyes to the world instead.
And now I know what to do (:
I shall put my faith into God, believing that He will provide a way out for our family. I really don't want to see it get torn apart just because the devil wants it to, who likes a broken family? (No offense here.) But then there's this saying that goes, "Praying but not taking action is the same as staying idle." So...What can I do?
In a way, this makes me want to pray for my friends out there whose families aren't in a good balance - I want them to receive the same blessing that God showered upon me. I can't be the only one happy can I? So I shall do my best. I'm not a priest, neither am I a pastor so I can't exactly bestow blessings...I just pray to God that He will show the same kindness He has given me, to my friends out there..
Well anyway, long post is long post - JUST because today was eventful. So here's the next part of the post, its just a brief summary of the later part of today -
07S06 BBQ!!!!!!!!
Most of the class turned up today - thank goodness.
And it was soooooooooooooo fun.
It was held at the estate I live in, but sponsored by Abbas - he lives at Hibiscus(same estate) while I live at Alamanda.
I've never been THIS active in joining conversations (because usually I'm always quiet at other parties). And it was just unforgettable. We had loads of laughs and stuff, so it was just beyond enjoyable. I really had loads of fun. And then I suggested we play at the playground near the bbq pit (Hey, I live there lol. So I know my way around.) So we played catching, and freeze-n-melt. By the end of the day, it was already 11:15pm, and we were all stinky all over. By the time I got back home I smelled like trash, and my legs and arms were kind of aching haha. So anyway, to conclude, I'm glad I was there.
Right now I'm SO tired I could just fall asleep in my chair without brushing my teeth LOL
