I grew up listening to reggae music because my dad was a true-blue hippy and he was stuck in the 70s, his salad days when activism was anything but violent and everybody was wearing hip ponchos, cool bell-bottoms and tie-dyed shirts. My father was a happy-go-lucky man, living a life of no worries and no stress. Don't get me wrong, he was responsible and he worked really hard to provide for our family. We had a house, comfortable clothes, good food and we all went to good schools. He was always there for us, attending ballgames, dance recitals, and was always present in parent-teacher conferences. We all looked up to him because he was the epitome of cool, always in control of his emotions and always remained calm under any given circumstances. And he took good care of us despite his busy schedule and his night-outs with his friends. After I write my custom essay for school, he always spends time with us and reads stories to us before we go to bed even if he was exhausted after a hard day's work.

And so we all lived with a positive outlook and perspective about life. I took to heart the inspirational messages from Bob Marley's epic songs that promotes peace and love for everyone. Three Little Birds was and will always be my favourite song because that's how I live my life, no worries because I know that everything will be all right. When I am facing adversaries and challenges in my daily life, I don't fret and worry my life away; I just face my problems head-on and ride out the deluge. And everything works out fine in the end.

Despite of a life with no worries, I am still deeply troubled for the marginalized and underprivileged people around the world, especially children who are suffering from wars and strife since time immemorial. We have to stop all the hate, violence and bloodshed that we relentlessly spew against each other. As Bob Marley has ingrained upon my mind since my childhood days, we need to stand up for our right and we need to do it now more than ever. And so when I am not contributing to essay writing services or studying for exams for school, I dedicate and devote my extra time in helping those in need. I volunteer for Red Cross and UNICEF because I know that every little thing and even the smallest acts of kindness can make all the difference in the world. We all have one love and one heart and we should all join hands to emancipate ourselves from the harsh realities of life.

Hello people,

   I hope you are doing well and whatever you are believing God for, that it will come to pass.  As long it is according to God's word. It has been a while since I have written a post, but I still have the desire for God. You know sometimes, it may feel like God has not heard your prayer (Notice that, I said 'feel' not know), but realize God is more than an emotion.

      I think a lot of times as people, well in my experience when it comes to my relationship with God, I sort of expect Him to respond as a human being would with emotions or would get mad at me if I said something.  The Lord certainly has emotions, but as a spirit He can control them. Remember in the first chapter of Genesis, the Lord said let's make man in our own image.  Thus, since we have a similar image to God, that means we should control of our emotions, not the other way around.

        Well as I continue to become more intimate with and in God, there are trials when it may give me the opportunity to 'feel' lonely and think that God has forgotten all about me. I was like that earlier in my faith, but those thoughts do come again. If such a thought is against the will of God, just know that through the blood of Christ, as a child of God 'Do not be conformed by this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind' Romans 12:2.

  Renewing the mind is a process and that's why you should be cautious of what you put in your heart, because out of the heart brings the issues of life.  Anything that will give you doubt about the power of God is definitely something to stay away from. When you give you up on God, you don't trust Him and then are led to your own devices.  In our world of senses, doing what we know may be comfortable even if it hurts us, but it is only because we 'know'.

 I know once I trust God, I can surrender and not to lean on my own understanding (Proverbs 3:5).  Thank God I don't know everything, if I did, I would give up on God.  That's scary! Depending on my finite understanding can barely get me through the day, thank you Lord for your blood so I can enjoy life once again! As long as I meditate on His Word, He is faithful to me, even when I am not.

I hope this post has been a blessing to all. It certainly has been a blessing for me to write it.

Love your sister in Christ,
Isabis Inside
