The missing "memory" card

i could not understand why it had to happen... i back-tracked every single micro detail of the event but still no sign of the memory card that i lost on my friends' wedding day. to this day i ask myself what are the reasons behind the disappearance of that memory card?

aha... i think i got it!!! i remember that i just wanted to make it sooo special to the couple by taking some extra special shots that i went overboard in planning what i needed to do. Not wise, right? uhumm... guilty!:( i've got to find a way to constantly remind myself to re-assess my plans before implementing them. Okay, but how? Let's turn to the bible...a bible verse that comes to my mind right now is in Psalm 37:5-6 (The Message) ~ Open up before GOD, keep nothing back; he'll do whatever needs to be done: He'll validate your life in the clear light of day and stamp you with approval at high noon.

Wait... Psalm 37:5-6? Those verses proceed the verse (Psalm 37:4 NIV ~ Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart) that stands still in my heart since the very first time i attended the young professional bible study at my church. This verse is so convicting to me because i've learned over the years that the more i delight myself in the LORD the more HE changes the desires of my heart to "HIS" desires for me. And through my "only" hope in JESUS CHRIST those desires will change with fervent prayers to my SOVEREIGN LORD and guidance from HIM and also with the help of prayers and encouragement from my brothers and sisters in Christ.

Recently i've been discovering something that attracts me deeply from my heart and my eyes are so drawn to it. It's THE MESSAGE bible version. I like the way it is written. It's very clear. It's very visible and so audible to me. For instance, Psalm 37:3-4 says... Get insurance with GOD and do a good deed, settle down and stick to your last. Keep company with GOD, get in on the best.

What am i trying to say in this blog? I just want to write this to remind myself about my "selective" memory. I discussed this with some old friends that i saw at Boba Latte (bubble tea place) last night. I seem to remember too much of the things that i only want to remember and not remember the ones that i think are not so important to me. Oh, LORD, please help me overcome think. I really really need to change this practice.
Also, i need to always commit my steps to the LORD before i do anything. To always bring everything before my LORD for approval. This will take time but i am willing to change, LORD! :) I LOVE YOU, FATHER!!!:)
