what i've just watched: The Last Samurai. i rate it 8.5/10
for those out there who need something good to watch, go catch it. it brought to me more than just entertainment and a mystified feeling about the Samurai. no, i ain't going to aspire to be a samurai, cause firstly, i don't think fat samurais exist, and secondly, i ain't japanese.
but rather, the show reminded me, that when something has to be addressed, no matter what you do, be it drown yourself in alcohol, in your work, or occupy yourself in so many other ways but that particular one of trying to resolve the issue, you're going to feel, look, and live like crap.
----------------------------
i chose to believe, that yes, men was made in God's image. and because of that, we would always seek for something to worship. it happened with the stone age men, when they sought the sun and other gods to worship. it happens with pagen faith believers like buddhist, taoist, and whatever-i-didn't-mention. do you see monkeys gathering with joss sticks praying to the gods of nature?
what am i saying? well, that i've experienced what it feels like to be in God's presence, walking in His ways, walking right with Him. well, i have. i ain't saying i still am.
and that's the problem, cause i'm getting this constant bugging from what i would call the Holy Spirit, and i'm thankful for it. unlike Pharoh, my heart hasn't hardened -i think-, and at least i know where i want to go.
what i want for now: peace
peace with God
peace with my family
peace with friends (people i hold close to my heart)
peace with school (teachers and school mates; people who are invovled with me only via school relationships)
peace with myself
the list would go on, but let's start with the basics.
i ask not of happiness, wealth, health, or even wisdom from the Lord, for what good would all those be if i am not at peace in His presence?
