L plates.

today spoke volumes about discipline.

the difference between discipline and regimentation. the difference between discipline and punishment. the difference between punishment and judgement. i concede i have a long way to go. and loads to learn (and unlearn). but thank God for His patience, for

"Behold, happy is the man whom God corrects;
Therefore do not despise the chastening of the Almighty.
For He bruises, but He binds up;
He wounds, but His hands make whole."

-job 5:17-18

and be encouraged that..

''My son, do not despise the Lord's discipline
and do not resent His rebuke,
because the Lord disciplines those He loves,
as a father the son he delights in."

-proverbs 3:10-12

How wonderful is our Father's love for us.




Meanwhile, i've been thinking loads about changing a few things. quite a few things actually. however it'd take quite a bit of time before any of it becomes visible. but that's okay. i've tried many times. many times that turn into more times that turn into few times that turn into 'no time(s)'. haha. but i know, effective change happens from the inside out. that's why it takes time.
