♥ when the novelty fades...
so today i got my new phone =D... sony ericsson w595... gotta <3>
and yeah its cool and all.. (unfortunately there was no red/white or even black/red.. so i had to choose between the blue/lightblue or the grey/lightblue... and i ended up gettin the blue/lightblue)
so yes. its a phone!
and i kinda been thinkingg.. u know when u get something NEW... and u get all excited!
like i rmb wen we got the melz CoCo... =) the new pup! everyone was like =O!! haha its kinda like ... when u get a new phone.. or a new camera... its just so... NEW! and fun =) and facinating and interesting!
then it kinda fades away right? it becomes ordinary. normal. no longer "new".
and i think that once that fades, u begin to rely on the quality of the phone - maybe not so much every single awesome feature that u play with at first... but the things that matter. the reception... the quality of the speaker/mic... the calculator function (so u can learn to budget!)... the essentials. the basics. the purpose of the phone. does the phone fulfil its purpose? does it do what it's required to do... does it do what u NEED it to do... after that "new"ness and novelty fades away..
i think often, its kind of the same with relationships. i've heard of many relationship where the novelty fades awayy... and its just not the same anymore - or its not what u thought it would be, after all the excitedness.
but thats why i think its important to do proper research! when buying a new phone. i mean yeah a phone can have awesome features like youtube channeling or facebook photo uploading. thats cool. but its not an essential? i dont need it that much. i need to make sure i have a phone that does all the "essentials"... fulfils its purpose i guess. and i need to make sure of that - without getting carried away with all the "extra" features - as sometimes this comprises the "essential" features.. and once that novelty fades away.. im left with the essential features. so i gotta make sure the phone has those "essentials" - and has awesome reception, a good mic and speaker, and of course ;) a good calculator.
so, back to relationships. i think i've spent my life... often looking at those "extras".. i mean yeahhh extras are great. but not so much when it compromises the "essentials".
sometimes i would be like "aww man, that phone doesnt really have that great of a camera.. but its okay! its got a coool youtube channel" - where the camera is the essential. and the youtube channeling is a bonus / extra feature - unnecessary.. but cool?
anyways. i'd often be like that with people... i would compromise the essentials: christian... and no not "christian"... but christian... someone who loves God.
but i'd try to justify it.. by looking at those "extras"... those cool bits. but in the end... when the novelty fades... when i begin to look past those extras... and see the lack of the essentials.... it just doesn't cut it.
i need someone who loves God... and those extras just doesn't make up for that essential.
how many times have i made that mistake? how come it took so long for me to learn? how could i be so stupid?
at least ive learnt. i know now. im determined not to make the same mistake again.
anyways. a song just came to mind.. i keep saying when the "novelty fades".. and then i thought of when the "music fades"... the song - The Heart of Worship... =)
When the music fades
And all is stripped away
And I simply come
Longing just to bring
Something that's of worth
That will bless your heart
I'll bring You more than a song
For a song in itself
Is not what You have required
You search much deeper within
Through the ways things appear
You're looking into my heart
I'm coming back to the heart of worship
And it's all about You
All about You, Jesus
I'm sorry Lord for the thing I've made it
When it's all about You
It's all about You Jesus
King of endless worth
No one could express
How much You deserve
Though I'm weak and poor
All I have is Yours
Every single breath
I'll bring You more than just a song
For a song in itself
Is not what You have required
You search much deeper within
Through the way things appear
You're looking into my heart
I'm coming back to the heart of worship
And it's all about You
All about You, Jesus
I'm sorry Lord for the thing I've made it
When it's all about You
It's all about You Jesus
Its all about you
Jesus
