Actually this article is one I read from a friend friendster's profile (gets?)... Nagustuhan ko ang article nya sa friendster at ang makulit kong sarili ay hindi mapigilan mag-comment. Hehe. :D
I hope hindi siya ma-offend sa mga comments ko... :)
So here it goes...(edited na siya...)
Destiny is something that is already planned out to happen to you in the future... or some may call it, the "plan of God" for you... ---> palagay ko tama ito.
well for me, idon't believe in such things... ---> maaga pa para magsalita. :P
God gave us a mind and a heart, and the FREEDOM to choose... ---> well kung ang isang choice ay gagawin sa maling oras at lugar... dangerous yun sa iyo... Hindi naman gusto ni God na gawin mo un. So FREEDOM is not so good at all. It entails responsibility. eh since young ka pa..you make impulsive decisions...
if our future is pre-destined for us, what is the essenceof our freedom? how would you feel if you want to be a doctor in the future coz you want to save lives... and then you find out that you are destined to be an assassin? sucks right? ---> Ei! Who wants to be an assasin anyway? You are the result of your own decisions. :) Think think... ;)
well the truth is,there really is such a thing as "destiny"... but it is not something that is fixed... destiny is a choice.. ---> I agree. :)
meaning, we choose our own destiny... we don't WAIT for it to come, and we don't just sit and relax till it happens... ---> I think waiting is not the problem here. i think its doing someting else fruitful...hindi naman lahat ng bagay namamadali. Pero tama ka rin naman.
we work hard to obtain that destiny... foolish are those people who say that "kung talagang kami sa future, kahit anong mangyari, we will be together.. "... ---> TAMA!
we dont' wait for our soulmates... why? if someone loves you and you love him/her in return, you don't waste that opportunity to make him/her your soulmate... ---> an impulsive decision sometimes... :(
for you will never know what will happen the next time around... what if you passed up that love because you say that "kung kami, kami..." and then you die the next day? ---> why so afraid of death?
you'll find yourself regretting that decision and say to yourself, "i should have..."...point is, every opportunity that comes into your life is your destiny... it is up to you to choose the path you are going to take... never place your future in the hands of the "fake destiny"... your future, your destiny, is in your own hands. --- > Wow you have the word "fake destiny". cool!
I think when you place your future in the hands of you so called fake destiny... you are placing your future in your own hands only. Ikaw lang ang nagdedesisyon... Why not allow God to partake in your decision making? Di ba? Para maging secured ka na sa future mo... o sa lovelife mo... :) I think this is the best thing to do kapag may mga ganyang kang worries...

Most people debunk the idea that God has a pre-destined plan for us because they feel that they'd be happier/more successful if they put everything into their hands instead of involving God in the decision making. Why is that so? It's because most of us forget about the grace of God all together. Why would He create you to be a doctor when you wanted to be someone else?
Waiting is never futile. It only becomes so if we become passive rather than learning from the waiting process.
Ok enuf, nag-blog na naman ako dito. hehe! sorry sis. :)
I agree with romzkee, we have to wait for what God has in store for us. We don't get the answer to our prayers just because we asked, we get them because we patiently waited for it.
"we don't wait for our soulmates... why? if someone loves you and you love him/her in return, you don't waste that opportunity to make him/her your soulmate" why not pursue every person you meet? Maybe one of them could be your soulmate. Lol! Everyone is searching for that one person whom they will love and would want to spend the rest of their lives with, but we don't search for them by pursuing them. That way we are just emersing ourselves on hurt and mistakes.
Josh Harris said if you follow God's plan for your (love) life, the God who knows what's best for you, how can you go wrong? Think about it...
I think I should write this in my blog. Lol!
