Gone With The Wind

All is vanity and grasping for the wind. - Ecclesiastes 1:14

The epic fill based on Margaret Mitchell's novel Gone With the Wind opens with these lines:

"There was a land of Cavaliers and Cotton Fields called the Old South. Here in this pretty world, Gallantry took its last bow... Look for it only in books, for it is no more than a dream remembered, a Civilization gone with the wind."

Not only does a way of life disappear but also the dreams that drive the main characters. Throughout the Civil War, Scarlett O'Hara is preoccupied with her love for Ashley Wilkes. But by story's end, she is disillusioned.

Solomon saw the futility of seeking satisfaction in people and things. Despite amassing wealth and knowledge, completing great projects, and marrying many wives, he said, "All is vanity and grasping for the wind" (Eccl. 1:14).

Why does chasing transitory things leave us unfulfilled? The biblical answer is that we were created to find our ultimate fulfillment in God. Jesus promised, "I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly" (John 10:10).

People and things come and go. But the spiritual satisfaction Christ offers sustains us in this world and will endure into eternity. - Dennis Fisher

What comes from man will never last,

It's here today, tomorrow past;

What comes from God will always be

The same for all eternity! - Spencer

Become a model was my ambition... Wearing beautiful dress, walk on the stage... what a nice scene is that... but now, I had forget about it... And the reason is pretty easy... Father Lord dislike it... :)

I was being told that modeling is not a career that a Christian should be involved... I was quiet shock and sad by the time... but I had overcome it... maybe not all... at least if someone ask me to wear hot pants + spagetti singlet... I won't refuse to do so... but also with kind of feeling like sorry to my God...

So, I am only wearing those shirt or low-cut dress when I am not going to church or somewhere that my church's friends won't go... as I am not from a Christian family, no one will stop me from wearing those cloths... not even my mum...

But, I knows that all this is just something that will disappear one day later... I know I should put all my concentration on Bible study... therefore, I am not having my time for make-up practice or matching those new cloths just because I want to know which one is better for me to show off... Honestly, that's really tired... especially for make-up... I hate the eyeliner when I remove it and it goes into my eyes and I need to use eye lotion to wash it out... it hurt my eyes...

Everyone is pretty in front of God as everyone is created by Him... so, what for to waste time for make-up, hair dressing and what so ever just to show off how pretty we are?!... time wasted can be use to chat with Father Lord!...
