I found the following excerpt from my diary the other day. I had just found/read Ecclesiasties in the bible and it completely described how I was feeling at the time. In response to Ecclesiasties, I wrote this;
How short are our lives?
How fragile is human life?
That we can be alive one second and dead the next
How flimsy are our hopes and fears?
How insignificant are our failures and achievements?
How tiny are we, in contrast to our Lord and eternity?
How purposefully then must we live and love

Following the Fashion- Coincidence?
I remember my first experience of fashion trends. It was when I was about 4 or 5. My best friend at the time, Alison and I were at Sunday school, and we were colouring in pictures. She told me that her favorite colour was no longer pink, but blue. She then asked me the leading question; 'What is your favorite colour?' I felt I had to change my favorite colour, but I did not like the idea of blue, as it seemed to be a boy's colour. So I choose purple and for the next 10 years that was my favorite colour, until such time that I learned my friend's wisdom, that blue was not just a boy's colour. And so it became my favorite colour.
Another time where I followed the fashion was picking subjects in year 8. We were allowed to pick a language to study, either French or German. My best friend choose German. Contrary to this: I decided on French because the boy I had a crush on at the time choose it. He actually moved away before year 8 started. But I continued French into my HSC year.
These two events caused me to wonder about coincidences. Events occur for a reason. I choose French solely for no other reason but to spend more time with a boy but it turned out to be great decision. It just shows how God's hand is everywhere, influencing people and decisions and events to make things turn out the way he wants.
I'm not really into fashions anymore. Well I try not to be. There has to be more to life than just this superficial garbage about looking good.
1 John 2:17 The world and its desires pass away, but the man who obeys the will of God lives forever.
