All In

Have i shared with you how wonderful God is?
well...
this was a long long time ago
i was still a little boy
to be precise
i'm a timid, shy and constantly having thoughts but afraid to share them
i'm introvert that's what they say
i'm not mature
i'm slow
i just like to play
i don't like to worry about other people
the world resolve around me and just me
i use to think "its not my business so i don't care"
thennnnn...
until a moment of time
i want to open up..
i went to sunday school see other kids playing around while i sit at the back just observing and not mixing around like other kids are doing..
then when they say "lets pray"
i don't know what to do until i see everyone bow down their head, put their hands together and close their eyes
i followed..
after they say "amen"
i don't know how i somehow understood that and open my eyes..
when its the next time they pray i tried asking something that i wouldn't do

"Lord, its my first time praying, can i ask for something?, i want friends, please. thank you amen."

the next thing i know.. i'm back to my usual self again
until a few years..
where suddenly people came in...
at 1st they started knocking

*knock* *knock* *knock*
"hi i'm ___ from ____ how are you?"
*no response*
*silence*
*smile*

then they start pulling

"aunty aunty can Ben come out to the field and play with us?"
"i'll wake him up, wait just a moment ya"
"BEN come la lets go"
"alright alright"
and we cycle to the field and start playing catch or just chit chatting

then i learn to do the same

*knock* *knock* *knock*
"hi i'm Ben from 3 blocks away from where you are standing right now, how are you?"
*no response*
*silence*
*smile*

God answered my prayer
it doesn't matter how long it takes it is still answered
look up, look how vast is the sky
look down and your view is narrowed
difference?
sky = God created = bigger than you = bigger than your problem + it is wonderful = calm
view narrowed = not clear + no direction = more problems = stress
oh oh and don't forget toooo
SMILE!!!
