Choosing and Refusing

Hey there,

last night I had a tough experience that  brought me into deep thinking, and one of the things that bothered my mind was the power of our choices.

Everyone of us have been given equal freedom to make choices for his life. cause we really become happy when we decide to be responsible for our lives, when we decide to take our lives in hands and know what we want.

But the problem is not really making the choice, the problem is making the choice and want to hold on the old habit at the same time, not really letting go of what we are supposed to leave. sometimes we want to settle in the middle side, but we end up loosing both sides. Look, you can't mix faith with fear or trust with doubt, you need to choose one and refuse the other.

It's obvious that we can't have all in life, and one of my friends (Leni) justified it in saying that even us we are not all, so wanting to have all would be kind of ironic, so when you find something you want into someone and decide to choose it, please refuse any other thing from others, cause wanting to take one thing from one person and still you want another one from a different person, you won't play that game for a long time. (here I want specifically to talk to those who are dating and are still confused in what they really want) but this can still work in many other ares in this life.

The refusing won't be of a small thing, or something that doesn't really matter in your life, for Moses it was as big as leaving the throne, refusing to be a Pharaoh and choosing to lead the Israelite in the dessert, I don't know what is the case for you, but if there's one, be in your spiritual life, your relationship, your work... name them, you just need to take a side!

In choosing a happy relationship you may need to refuse to attend to your ego and selfishness, in choosing to be a happy person you may need to refuse to be led by your little emotions...
it's up to you to figure out what are the things you need to choose and what you need to refuse to enjoy the goodness of life.

Am grateful for the lessons I get to learn in life, even though the process is sometimes ugly.
But I hope it helps you make better decisions and spares you from playing the middle side game!

With Love,

Tasha

Dry & Beautiful

One of the things I love doing is Photography, I love taking nature pictures, trees, birds, sunsets...and when I created this blog I wanted to be only using  my own shots for my posts but unfortunately I didn't keep that promise, but I have to start now, step by step…

So here is a dry tree! I love dry trees! funny right? I know, but yeah, some of my friends know it too much that when they see a dry tree they immediately think of me, and they tell me later that they have seen a dry tree! (Sophie and Babra)

I see a great message through dry trees, they look dead, hopeless, standing just by themselves, no leaves, no flowers, no fruits...they look like they have nothing to offer in life, they can’t provide a shade for the tired traveler, they can’t give out some oxygen, they are just there, but you know what? These trees are alive! their roots are still stand in the ground, and obviously even though they can't carry nests, they still have birds hanging on them.

We all have some dry times at some points in our lives (oh well I do, maybe you don't), when our plans are crumbling, when we can't clearly see the next step to take, when our education is at stake, when our family members are not our best people to be with, and our homes not our best places to be anymore, when our relationships are our major source of worry and anxiety instead of being our source of love and peace, when money seem to run from us no matter how hard we work... you know, the kind of hardship people go through in this life.

They obviously can't host nests, but birds can have good times on them!
So can You When you're in dry times!
 you can still serve the world and be a blessing in one way or another!

But there's a great hope even in that kind of situations, as the dry trees, you're still alive, and it's the best opportunity to get along with what's going on in your life. Let your roots (which are your trust and hope) be only found in Jesus Christ, He who is the rock of ages, and who can't be shaken by your dry times, because He's the one who has the power to make your life still worth living in dry times and the power to bring it back on track.

Gratefully,

Tasha!
