UPDATES AND HAIRSTYLING

Helloo people!

I haven’t blogged in like so long... sory for that but I have just been extremely tired because of my sickness. Anyway let’s start :)

Have you ever felt like you have done something in the same way for too long? Well if you haven’t (and even if you have) then read this post!
Ones in a while we get this notification on our phone that says „There is a new update available. Do you want to update right away?“. When this comes most people hesitate a while but in the end most of us choose to update because we know that if we don’t update we will end up using a program that is old and doesn’t have new, helpful, exciting features.
Now why do we hesitate? 
Because we are not sure about what is going to happen. We are scared to take a risk and we are scared to have a „failed“ update on our phones. This is why some people don’t want to update at all. But then they’ll just have to live with the old version.

In real life it is basically quite similar. There will be times when we need to change. We need to move with the time. For example in your work you need to keep updated with what is going on in the world or in your church you need to let the younger generations also have a say in things. Often people hesitate with new stuff, new people or new sircumstances because they are scared that the old ones were better but what they don’t realise is that they are losing a change to make things better. It doesn’t mean that everything will change and that nothing can be done in the old way. No! What it means is that you let new things (/people) influence you, your circumstances and your matters. In this way you will not lose anything but only gain new ways, new ideas, new people. 

Sometimes we need to cut the ends of our hair so that it can grow better again. What I mean with this is, that sometimes you need to stop a way of life/stop something and cut it off so that something fresh and good can start growing/happening. This can be something big or something little but you need to do this sometimes.

But then again sometimes you need to fix (/style) the hair. For example if you have run trough rain then you need to dry it again. With this I mean that you need to fix things you are doing wrong. You can’t only stop them and cut them off but sometimes you need to fix them again. Because you might have a good idea of how you do something but the way you do it has become old fashioned or you have lost the essential of your idea. For example if you are working as a teacher and you realise that you have been too strict with your students for the past few months then you fix it by starting to be a little less strict. It doesn’t mean you need to quit your job (you don’t need to cut your hair!) but you need to fix what you are doing wrong (you need to style your hair again).

I understand that change is difficult sometimes and you need courage for it but with God this is all possible :)

From rich to richest!

Hello!!!

I have a new spot in the bible that I would like to discuss. Here we go!

Read Luke 18:18-30

In this verse a rich man asks Jesus what he must do to inherit eternal life. 
So in this case (in the bible) eternal life means that you will go to heaven and have an eternal life there.

Jesus answers the question with 2 main points:
1) follow the commandments that God has given
2) sell everything and then follow Him (Jesus)

Now the first (1) point is quite clear. But the second (2) point might be a little hard to understand. Jesus tells the man to sell everything, wich means all his material stuff. For us that sounds horrible to live with ‚nothing‘. I don’t think God wants us to live without anything, or as we would say „in a poor way“. But with this passage He means that He wants us to surrender to Him, to really follow Him without worrying about our material stuff and without putting a lot of worth in them. Often we are so focused on all the material things that we forget God, we forget to surrender to Him and spend time with him. 
He wants us to live for Him and He wants to be our richness. So that we wouldn’t count our material stuff and then say „I‘m rich when I have this and this and this“. 

=> so all in all God wants us to remember His commandments, surrender to Him everyday, live for Him and have our richness in Him.

Have a blessed week!
