It's been in my head for a while. I am really extremely stubborn when I want to be...or allowed to be. So I started to ponder why I am like that. I am not stubborn on everything, just some stuff. They usually fall into the categories of rules, regulations and principle. Such a nerd/goody-two-shoes.  But I am very stubborn when it comes to be 'righteous'. Perhaps it really does matter because sometimes it offends people. Not because I do it intentionally...but perhaps it's the human nature of not wanting to be found out they are in the wrong. Of course, I don't tend to grass people up but if something is really wrong, say illegal or anti-God's teaching, then I really can get really worked up about it. I just like walking in a box...I don't get rule breaking and getting into trouble on purpose for fun. 
I don't know where I got this stubbornness from...I mean, looking at my family, I can see there's a trend. However, do believe me when I say I am the least affected by this genetic mutation.  On the other hand, I do believe God gave us unique personalities and I can only thank him for giving me this stubbornness on the 'right stuff'. I mean, let's face it, if I was half this stubborn, I won't be the me today. I wouldn't even feel comfortable in certain contexts if justice to the rules and regulations and principles are not heard.
So yeah....use stubbornness in a balanced way is now my goal for the new me.

Why is Monday morning always the most sleepy and tiring morning of the week? I'm not sure why other people moan about Monday mornings but I kinda like Monday mornings. I am tired, too. What, after a full day of 2 churches from early morning to early evening you don't think I am tired, too? Of course I am. But Monday mornings are good. Nice, clean fresh start. New things to look forward to. It's almost as if you've left your burdens at the cross and you are ready to roll for another week.
Yep, that is how time flies by when you are getting busier and busier when you're grown up. Of course, you also start to appreciate the little resting time you get during the weekend (or just Saturday, in my case). Anyway, I just want to blog to thank God for a peaceful Monday morning, preparing me for the week ahead.
Whatever you're doing this week, make time for God. That's my goal for this week.

Ok, I don't want to come across as a hypocrite when I say I used to go Trick or Treat-ing. I was a kid who didn't know God or the real meaning of Halloween. Nor did my mum. Second, I don't want to come across as someone who hate non-Christians. I don't. I just don't like non-Christian acts/behaviours. And I am not perfect either.
Anyway, nowadays, on Halloween's night at my house, we just tend to pretend there is no one home. We park our cars back in the garages and switches all the lights off in the front part of the house. We just stick in the back. It sucks, I mean, just because I don't celebrate it and don't agree with what it stands for doesn't mean I should be at risk of being egged....again. Yes, we tried to tell the people who came the good news of the Lord. We even gave some sweets and told them the real person they should worship is God. Oh no, the signs on the window made them angry. It just said Jesus loves you.
So yeah. I don't join in the Halloween 'Fun' in any form. Not sweets, not answering the door, no parties etc. Not because I am some crazy religious person but because I know my actions are examples to non-believers around me. I am sure there are many ways to go about it and there are many different views of Halloween. But my point is rather strong because I just don't want to be the one who misleads people.
So in conclusion....
"Everything is permissible"—but not everything is beneficial. "Everything is permissible"—but not everything is constructive. 1 Corinthians 10:23
