    Only ONE You!

     “There is only one you. You’re the only person with your exact heritage, your precise series of events in the pilgrimage and sufferings of life that have brought you to this hour. You’re the only one with your personal convictions, your makeup, your skills, your appearance, your touch, your voice, your style, your surroundings, your sphere of influence – you’re the only one.” ~ From Bedside Blessings October 28.

    Job 10:12 ~ You have granted me life and lovingkindness; and Your care has preserved my spirit.

    Such an amazing statement, isn’t it? What’s more powerful is that my reading on Day 2 today on The Purpose Driven Life is about “You Are Not an Accident.” This is taken from the book: “God prescribed every single detail of your body. He deliberately chose your race, the color of your skin, your hair, and every other feature. He custom-made your body just the way He wanted it. He also determined the natural talents you would possess and the uniqueness of your personality.”

    Psalm 139: 15 (MSG) ~

    “ You know me inside and out,
          you know every bone in my body;
       You know exactly how I was made, bit by bit,
          how I was sculpted from nothing into something.”

    Isn’t that cool??!! My God is a God of Love, in fact the Bible tell us that “God is Love”. He LOVES you and me deeply that He cares so much about every little tiny detail in our lives. That is a God who I serve! God who made me and will take care of me! I am so grateful for that!!! ^^

    What funny is that today I found out that I probably got an ADD (mild one hopefully)! LOL =p But seriously, I just cannot sit still. I often felt like the urge to do something. Actually it’s both good and bad. The good thing probably is that I need to do something productive; hence the 149 credit hours in 4 years of college life.  The bad thing is that I often make snap decisions (it doesn’t take me long to make decisions, but sometime I can also be indecisive). Confusing, eh?!

    Here is what I’m talking about:

    Inattentive-type (ADHD-I)

    Hyperactive/Impulsive-type (ADHD-H)

    In adults, these evolve into:

    • Procastination
    • Indecision, difficulty recalling and organizing details required for a task
    • Poor time management, losing track of time
    • Avoiding tasks or jobs that require sustained attention
    • Difficulty initiating tasks
    • Difficulty completing and following through on tasks
    • Difficulty multitasking
    • Difficulty shifting attention from one task to another

    In adults:

    • Chooses highly active, stimulating jobs
    • Avoids situations with low physical activity or sedentary work
    • May choose to work long hours or two jobs
    • Seeks constant activity
    • Easily bored
    • Impatient
    • Intolerant to frustration, easily irritated
    • Impulsive, snap decisions and irresponsible behaviors
    • Loses temper easily, angers quickly

    Okay, honest time! Hehehe, that’s ME! Well, what I have are mostly mild symptoms =p hehe I don’t think this will bother me living day to day life but knowing this just makes me more aware of myself =) This makeup is not an accident. I believe that He has a purpose for whatever He creates. There is only one ME in this world, I’ll make sure I’m treasuring myself as who I am in Him (by not complaining why am I like this, even if sometime I still do, but from now I want to focus coz I have no time comparing myself to others. The time is too precious to seek Him more and more in order to know what He will do in me and through me coz there’s only one ME. Isn’t it exciting?! Hehehe ^^

    You too, know that You are unique! You are His beloved one whether you acknowledge it or not =)

    Isaiah 44:2 (NIV) ~ I am your Creator. You were in my care even before you were born.
