Until
Psalm 73:16-17 “When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me; Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood I their end.”
You can count that the first response that rises in our hearts is almost always carnal.
For a child of God to respond spiritually, we must first discern and determine how Jesus would have responded in our stead. Knowing ourselves and our trigger points can…

HERE’S HOW TO RESPOND & REACT TO “UY, TUMABA KA!” 👊😂 LATEST VLOG!!! ➡ https://youtu.be/KQ00BjLvAFg #HowToRespond #UyTumabaKa #SuperKaloy https://www.instagram.com/p/B1NjjjZhJ-z/?igshid=8k5lhnwrfig1
How to RESPOND
Sejatinya, sampai kapanpun manusia hidup ia akan terus belajar. Ada salah satu bidang ilmu yang menurut saya sangat bermanfaat ketika kita bisa menguasainya, yaitu ilmu kehidupan. Didalamnya terdapat pelajaran yang cenderung sulit bagi orang-orang yang kurang peka, adalah belajar untuk menerima, belajar untuk berserah diri. Tidak cukup hanya sampai disitu, kemudian yang harus dipelajari adalah ‘How to respond’.
Belajar menanggapi (to respond) adalah suatu ilmu yang terkadang banyak orang sulit untuk mencernanya, namun sebenarnya mereka bisa mempraktekannya, bisa membuktikannya. Contoh sederhana, ketika seorang mahasiswa yang rajin nan pandai mendapati kegagalan dalam belajarnya, ia dinyatakan tidak lulus dalam salah satu mata kuliah yang ia tidak sukai. Lalu yang menjadi pertanyaanya adalah bagaimana mahasiswa itu menyikapi hal tersebut?
Akan menjadi masalah besar ketika mahasiswa tersebut menyerah, putus asa, tidak ingin memperbaiki nilainya, bahkan ia memutuskan untuk keluar dari kampusnya. Singkat cerita, ia hanya menggerutui kegagalannya.
Namun, perlahan mahasiswa tadi bisa jadi akan melalui proses yang luar biasa, jika ia dapat mengambil hikmah dari kejadian tersebut. Alangakah indahnya, ketika ia menanggapi itu adalah batu loncatan semata, agar ia bisa lebih mendalami mata kuliah tersebut. Siapa tahu, ia bisa jadi pakar didalam bidang itu.
Terkadang kehidupan selalu begitu, memberikan kesukaran pada ranah yang tak mendukung. Apakah kita harus berhenti pada kesukaran tersebut, kemudian membiarkan diri ini terlarut dalam kesedihan dan kegagalan? Kalau seperti itu, saya rasa Thomas Alva Edison tidak akan bisa menciptakan lampu, Ibnu Hajar al-Atsqolani pun akan mustahil menjadi ulama yang tersohor dengan mengarang ratusan buku, juga Muhammad Al-Fatih tidak akan mampu menaklukkan konstantinopel.
Rasanya semua berawal dari kepekaan. Peka akan hikmah yang berada disekeliling kita, yang seharusnya hikmah tersebut kita cari dan kita jemput. Tidak perlu takut, banyak orang-orang sebelum kita berawal dari kegagalan. Gagal dalam segi materi, fisik, pelajaran, hubungan keluarga, dan masih banyak lagi bentuk kegagalan lainnya. Ya, orang-orang sebelum kita telah membuktikan dengan cara pantas dalam 'menanggapi’ suatu kegagalan.
Konsep Islam sendiri mengajarkan “Fainna ma'al 'usri yusro, inna ma'al 'usri yusro”. Ada kesulitan, ada kemudahan. Sesungguhnya, masalah tercipta bersamaan dengan jalan keluarnya. Kalau kita yakin setiap masalah ada jalan keluarnya. Mengapa kita tidak fokus untuk bagaimana mencari jalan keluarnya?
Mari, belajar pintar dan cerdas dalam menanggapi atau menyikapi sesuatu.
Me: I'm gay

Me: wym how?
Friend: How are you gay? How do you know???
Me: How do you know you're straight :)
Thought I'd share this response of mine in case it's helpful to any non-vegans with the same objections or vegans learning to answer them effectively Ꭷ You can always direct people to my channel where they can search in the channel's search feature, but I've also created a comprehensive library on my website that is a bit more functional for navigating and searching Ꭷ You can check it out in the the link in my👆🏽bio today, afterwards just go to http://www.BiteSizeVegan.com/Learn Ꭷ ***NOTE*** to my dear Instagramers, this page isn't yet the most mobile-friendly so the header image and title sections will be a bit cut off, but the vids and content are there if ya scroll! Working on that functionality. Not a lot of spare time atm :P Ꭷ Back to video action!!

I will never forget being a girly girl when I was little! I can’t remember a time when I wasn't painting my nails with teddy bear nail polish or doing my makeup with my barbie toy pallet makeup kit. There was even a time when my family took family photos and all I wanted to do is play with the photographers makeup (she even took photos of me putting it on :))
When parents these days don’t allow their little girls to wear makeup, or nail polish, or even braid their hair, it makes me sad. Being a girl is of course more than these things and I understand parents are worried about their children gaining self-complexion issues, however kids 99% of the time will definitely have issues with the way they look either way. I believe allowing children to come out from the rock they are pushed under by their parents, and allowing them to explore options with the way they want to look, will allow them to better get over their issues in the future.
For example; when I was in Jr. High I went through a horrible “scene kid” phase, I wore black, heavy makeup, and neon colors. By the time I graduated Jr. High and over that summer, before starting High School, I realized that I was just wearing a mask and people could care less what I was wearing or doing because they were actually more concerned with themselves. I realized being part of a internet norm wouldn't make people like me any more than they did. So I stopped, and dressed more appropriate, got my hair back to blonde, and grew up.
The reason I believe I got over my phase so quickly, between two years, is because I was able to be allowed to be me and to think about what I wanted, not what everyone else wanted.
Let your children be who they are not who you want them to be. If your little boy or girl wants to wear makeup, suck it up and let them, it can’t do anything but help. If your embarrassed, if someone scoffs while your in the store, or judges your parenting, realize your letting your kid, be what it is, just a kid.
