Don't let the world to steal your joy and peace!

Since I came back from HK....I have been planning and doing so many things. CCM, CG, shepherding, tidy the house, catch up with friends... and of course my course. I'm doing 3D animation and actually it 's not that hard though.. I think the drawing part just scared me off. I love the teacher who really helpful and passionate about what she is doing. Yeah.. Passion!! We all need certain level of passion to drive us to do not give up the work or dream we want to achieve. This semester is the best semester i think... I 'm starting my little dream here.."to have my own company". sounds good yeah!!?? It's gonna be like E-commerce and selling accessories online.. girl's stuffs.. earrings, rings and hair clips...etc...I want to call it " joy chan"... I love the word "joy" properly can represent my character hehe. then Chan is my surename...joy chan...do you like it?
Even I 'm very ambitious about achieving what I want for myself, this verse always come into my mind whenever I feel "high"...
"What good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?" Matthew 16:26
It's a very beautiful verse and really help me to maintain the focus. What if I have the world but forfeit my soul? What if i lose my soul and yet gain the world? I don't want myself to become like that and I know I will regret if I do. However, I need God to help me to maintain the balance. And I deeply understand the things in this world are weird and strange. The world yet can give me what I want but it also can steal my true joy and peace from the Lord. I need to be alert to myself that I can't walk away from God. Sometimes I will just sit down and think: "What if I didn't meet Jesus in my life? What would I be doing then?"... I think I will still be Kam.. a normal girl who wants to marry and have a good family and that's it??hehe.... Now God has given me a bigger dream... a dream that it seems so hard to achieve but yet actually He is preparing me now. I have found the true joy in the world.. and that's only from God. Trust me! I'm telling the truth!
I will not allow anyone to steal the joy and peace in my heart. I will guard my heart because it is the wellspring of life. I will protect my city so that when enemy comes, I will still be able to stand firm and please God.
Once again...I gaze at the cross and amazed by His great love to me. Nothing is greater than His unconditional love. I'm really a blessed child who lives in the presence of God forever and ever.
I always think.. howcome some people just keep complain about certain things?? We even don't have enough time to appreciate God's creation!!!! We don't even have enough words to praise God's character. People.. stop complaining and turn all your words to Praise our Lord and Father... You will truely experience the great joy and peace in your heart and THAT LASTS FOREVER...
