Helllo fellow humans! Shalom!

Well like i said, I've not moved officially, but yeah i find this blog a little more private because I've not revealed its existence to some others.(nvm who they are.) I just feel more comfortable here in this nostalgic space ((: The familiarity of the whole set up of blogger, the headers, the tabs and yada and yes TAG BOARD!

There's a saying that goes, you are who you mix with/ birds of the same feather flock together.
In my life, I've noticed myself to be quite a social butterfly. Fluttering here and there, flower to flower, nectar to nectar, never settling for one.

Ever since my secondary school years, I've never really found a social group that I totally can be free to be me and feed off. Many of you know that cell group is really one of the social groups i hang alot with, but my mentally is to give and not exactly expect much in return. So when the going gets tough (esp with all the things tt we gotta do), ariel gets tired. To me cell group is a place where i feel that the people are open to love God and to learn how to love Him more. This is very endearing to me, and I like to see people being happy in the Lord and living their lives not for themselves but for Him. And that is probably why i like cell group (:

But i just find that, well aside from personal one-one close friends, i do not exactly have a group of friends that i can be totally free and happy and just be loved for being me. Probably the one group that i can think of is my secondary school friends. However, sad it is,because I;ve been neglecting them to the max :( :( Sighs, miss the good old days. good old fun. Though we tease one another, there's no judgement, but pure fun and love. (:

gahh.

I am glad they still love me regardless! :) Despite all my pangseh-ness and abrupt disappearance at times! It will be weird if they ever see this post! Anyhoos, this I cant believe that I am actually sharing this on bloggerrr!! *crosses fingers* I choose to trust the hearts of my readers, in this space in particular. hee hee.

Well, going on to the next random thought in my head- Love.

Now ariel aint gonna talk abt no romance love here, but when loving gets becomes tough. Have you ever felt that your morals tell you to love regardless but your heart just cant seem to agree with that? I am sure you have. (if you dont just agree with me la!) I am at a season of my life where i want to get my very basics strong and right with God, and thus as I was reading the bible He gave me this verse. Which pops up in my head every now and then.

I timothy 1:5
The goal of this command is love, which comes from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith.

What exactly is true blue love?

Sometimes we love because we are selfish, we want it for ourselves thats why we love it, we want it bad. Sometimes we love a person because of the status that he/she has to his/her name, sometimes we love because we know that we will benefit us. There are many reasons why we love, and sometimes our love is what we call a tainted love- Loving with strings attached.

But pure unconditional love is birthed from a pure heart, good conscience and sincere faith.
It's a love that God has and He wants to give that love to us. And for us who have it, He wants us to develop it.

It gets a little deeper if you think about these 3 elements separately- Pure heart, Good conscience, Sincere Faith.


Go figure! (:

Oh man i dont know why i am so contemplative/deep in thought today. Must be the gloomy skies! :/

Ciao my fellow readers!! Sorry for the daunting chunk of words and ramblings.!
