Blackberry is not so black then uh!
"Do what you love, love what you do!"
The quote is much familiar now because Blackberry has taken it as its new motto. But truly, it fills with a new zest to work on your dreams, doesn't it?
Blackberry is not so black then uh!
Tailpiece:
Jeff Mallett, who is supposed to have originally uttered these words, did so in this way:
"Do what you love, love what you do, leave the world a better place and don't pick your nose."

God's ways are not our ways, His ways are always the best.
Life is never smooth always, though we all would love it the other way. When but life goes "bad" and "wrong", we need to re-think. If you believe that God has created you not by an accident, but by a mighty plan, then you must have already experienced and felt the following thoughts. I'm just re-affirming my faith in the power of my Redeemer in this note.
The Lord is always there to take care of you, no matter how life goes -white or black, fair or dark. Things do happen in fact in His supervision and vigil. Even when Job was put to test by satan, it was by His permission. God permits trials in our life along with times of fair weather. When He promises that "I will never leave you nor forsake you" (Hebrews 13:5), He means to abide with us no matter where and how we are. This promise is eternal. The only condition is that you have to believe Him completely, trust and have faith in His Love, and live Holy. When once you recognize His abundant love that cares for and goes with you always, you will never look back or leave His side either. When but you enter into a true relationship with God, all your selfish interests fade away. Even as you pray, you mostly always forget about your own list of requests, because you get filled and anointed with God's own Holy Spirit. Oh, what a privilege! Your range of thinking widens gradually, and you experience something you've never felt before: a feeling of identification and kinship with the whole of the universe. When God touches you, and when "anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!" (II Corinthians 5:17). This doesn't also mean that the road of life is gonna be comfortable just because God is with you. Job walked with God and He with him. Yet his life became miserable, which ultimately let his faith to become more strong spiritually and prove his loyalty to God. Even St. Paul had his life never cozy though he had the presence of God's Spirit in him.
"And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure."
(2 Corinthians 12:7)
We should remember that being with God and experiencing His love means much beyond than what our feeble human minds can comprehend. Walking with God means that you are voluntarily preparing yourself to take the Cross and follow Him, not stepping in front of Him nor staying behind. This is evidently something which is not very easy, which requires His grace. But definitely we are assured that even in the most painful moments of trials and tribulations, where the world's power fails, God's grace begins. He is there to lift you up from the deepest abyss that you have fallen in, and save you. His unfading love is the reason why He gave His only begotten Son to die for our sins and save us from eternal death. When you think life goes wrong, or when you think "this is it", believe He is always there seeing what you're going through. Psalms 23 asserts, "though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me."
This is not a fairytale or a myth, for I myself has felt the unending love God has been showering upon me, in all the walks of my life. God's ways are "just and true", His works are always "great and marvelous". We read in 1 Corinthians 2:9-10: "Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searchest all things, yea, the deep things of God.".

When once a heart breaks, the wounds may heal sooner or later, but the scars remain forever... Remembered or forgotten, they will still be present deep down there...
