MOBC and Jenga (sp?)

MBOC is like playing the game of jenga, each piece supports each other. And when you remove one, you put them on top of each other. And they are all related, when a key piece fall, many more gets knocked off. But the whole point of MBOC is so that when you knock over the towering jenga tower, many people picking it up helps to recover really really fast!!

Example of MBOC analogy.

Discernment & Bad Breath

So over the weekend I heard a very fun talk about discernment. It goes something like this:

Discernment can be comparable to bad breath in that bad breath is called halatosis (sp?), which may make it sound like some crazy disease and hard to cure and stuff, in really it is just bad breath. Discernment is like that. It is a word for choosing, but chossing with God. Just a fancy word. You never stop choosing just like you never having bad breath after meals with lots of onion. So should not be afraid of it!!


Just thought this is something cool to share with.

Surrendering.

What does it mean to surrender?

Does it not mean give up and let go? In war, many surrenders conditionally, saying "only if ...", and I guess in life, we do the same on many issues. We say we surrender, but we hold back things in our hearts with many "only if", we did not allow God to fully work in us.

Funny how we think God abandons us sometimes, but really, it is us that lacked the connection to God. I know it sounds weird. When we pray to God, help us, we need such and such, but we do not let him in our heart fully...we turn him off at will and expect him to be on when we want Him. In the end, sometimes we might just realize that he was indeed there, but we didn't catch a glimpse of him.

I'm rambling. But bottom line is that God never leaves us...I just proved it with google deskstop's search function. yeah, long story, I'll have to do some more writing another time when I'm more settled down.
