Becky told me this story yesterday :

" There is this place on eath (a real place) where the sun shines everyday it does not rain at all and the weather is always nice. Everyone thinks that this place is a swell place to live cos the sun shines everyday and life would he happy. But then, this place is a real horrible place, no one wants to live there.Because the whole valley is totally dried and nothing lives there, everything is dead. Because there is no RAIN.

See even though we keep wanting our lives to be perfect and happy and sunny all the time. We cant cos there will always be storms, and these storms make you GROW just like plants, and make you a stronger and better person. Even though there are so much storms in life and so much uncertainties, there is still an unchanging factor which is GOD. And the thing about storms is that it always ends even when it seems so bleak and like nothing will ever be good again. So basicly when these storms come just hang in there and pray cos God is a really cool weather man. "

After I heard her story, I realised that we not all our days turn out just like we imagined them to be. Cause God has a reason for letting this incident happen in our lives. Maybe we should just leave everything to God, cause there's nothing we can do or control. But I'm really wondering, if you are facing storms, you can count on God. But can I, really count on my friends ? That I'm not sure. I know I shouldn't doubt the friendship that we have, but sometimes, I can't help but think of the worse ever thing to happen.

Something happened during recess today. I would not mention who it is. But they did something that made me realised that we need to step out of our comfort zones and accept everyone. I mean new or old, everyone wants to be accepted. I don't know why I was filled with saddness and anger when I saw what had happened. I could feel that they shouldn't do that, I mean everyone wants to be accepted. Tell me, who likes to be left out ? But I know it's hard, but if you don't try, how would you ever know the person's good points and all ? Imagine, if you're new, no one accepts you, would you be happy ? But than, why can't you accept people who are new ? Is it that hard ? But at least, try taking that step out, to make that someone feel welcomed. I know it's hard, everyone struggles with that too. But if we all made an effort to try, we would be living in a society where everyone is accepted for who they are.

I mean everyone should be welcomed, feel loved and feel their importance in the school. It's just a simple act of asking that new teacher to join in, but why is it that we always don't ? I admit, I can't accept everyone for who they are. But if we don't try, when would we know weather he / she is really that special someone is going to be there for us. I'm not referring to the teacher, I'm referring to us, about acceptance. I am sure, everyone wants to be accepted. But in the process of being accepted, why can't we accept everyone for who they are, just like Jesus did ?
