Hi there,
I don't feel like a need to blog anymore, i dunno why. Maybe its just a phase. Another reason is that i'm quite busy this sem there's little time to do this blog thing as much as i love and enjoy it and for that let me apologize.
I'm currently going through some restructuring in my life. Starting to question my motive and the reason i do some of the things i do or do not do. Whether to accept what i've already known and used to, what have become my belief system over the years. So things are stirring in there.
Was asked about tongues during the week and it made me do a bit more reading and basically from what i gather the gift of tongues is one that the Holy Spirit bestows on people. Even though there is a desire in our hearts to want to have that gift, it is all up to the Holy Spirit to enable that gift in an individual. Was reading from the commentary in my bible and discovered the ability to speak in tongues is evidence of being baptised in the Holy Spirit and as such, there is an increased desire for the word in the life of such a person, there is birth in the heart of this person a burden for the lost and a love for God. According to the commentary in my bible, if you don't have these then the tongues that you have is not from God. Scary right? Its not possible for everyone in a church to speak in tongues because its not up to any one individual. I still have a lot of questions on this matter, need a good book on the topic.
There are two things happening around me at the moment. Its either someone i know is going to Australia or getting well...someone special or for one particular case, someone got the special person and went to Australia. Ok whats up with that? I guess its the season. Makes those of us not with that special someone yet feel like of left out.
The more i read on the subject of relationships the more i don't want to rush things and allow what i know to become alive in me first, and let the time of maturing take place. There's always a sweet feeling when you get something you've always wanted and have waited patiently for it until the right time or when you never expected it. I like surprises, i'll wait. Although there are times...
