I’m leaving home… I’m leaving my cage… I’m gonna be given the freedom I always wanted… and yet I’m already missing the over-protective life I always lived… aww… my over-protective father is such a sweetheart… who will love me like he does when I go to that new city! Aww… my nagging mother who keeps telling me what to do and what not to do, aint she a treasure??!! Will I wake up on time for work without her! 
And awww…. my lil irritating brother… whom will I fight with when I go away… no one to share the last bar of chocolate and fight over which piece is bigger… no one to tell me all the non-sense cartoon stories and be fooled to think that I’m actually listening to him 
… and who else but my lil bro would wanna hear all my advices and so-called lessons from life! And aww… my darling friend… who else would speak to me for hours together on the phone and shower me with love that give me butterflies!?…Hmm… like as if I would even have the time to be on the phone for hours in that fast city! Aww… my church.. my second family… who would care enough to pull my legs and call me “kutty” (small kid) in the new churches that I might find in that new city! Aww… my room… my this… and my that… 
There are 3 things that can keep one from moving on:-
* Security
* Relationships
* Money
Its so easy to settle down… Its so natural to detest change… Right now, I got to give it all up… the security of being under the wings of my parents, the familiarity of the place where I spend my entire life, the relationships, all the relationships I ever bothered to maintain are all here… at my sweet home Alabama?! … And ofcouse the strainless provision of all my needs from my dad’s pocket without having to take up any responsibility what so ever!
And the solution I found to this demand for change is this… Let the Security of my life be in the Unconditional Love of God -the love that endures forever! Trusting Him at all times! Let the Relationship I hold on to be the relationship with the Trinity… With the Almighty God for the love of the best Father… With Jesus Christ for the love of the best Bridegroom and with Holy Spirit for the Superb Friend who is your helper, comfortor and anything and everything I will ever need! Let my Provision be based on the principle: “seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteouness, and all these things shall be added unto you.”
Its really sad to leave home… to change… from the security of home… to the life in tents… So donot put your tents too deep… you might have to move again anytime… Because change is essential… Change from glory to Glory… So I choose to take it as a learning exprience… And one thing I learned is this : Do not wait to be grateful for what you have till they are taken away from you. Say a word of thank you when they are near. So many sweet things to tell a dead boby in its funeral.. but why not say them when the soul is still there in that body and is encouraged with your words…
I am a flower quickly fading… here today and gone tomorrow… But O my soul, do what you were called to do when you are here! If its as simple as a smile.. then so be it.. or if its a little /much more than a smile… so be it…
