#i dont even understand tge purpose???? like

[clumsytornado]

@stridermari these tags r gold

Continuing on I agree that canon did him dirty, simply making him alya's bf whenever they needed him. It kinda removes his personality and character.

The show absolutely refuses to treat Nino as an imp character and thats where the problem lies.

For eg Timetagger features Nino's younger brother from the future travelling back akumatised. Would it really be farfetched to include Nino in the episode?

I miss the s1 headcanons where Nino was the guardian, it gave him a purpose. Basically the show does abandon him. I mean they made these hero dolls + Hawkmoth.

Guess who was missing?

But the Fandom really isn't any better.

To their credit, it all started because of 1 episode

Chameleon

That was the start of everything. Salt, saltinette, Adrien salt, Alya salt, Class salt you name it.

The fandom did the exact same thing, they replaced alya with chloe.

Now Nino getting replaced isn't something obvious or anything because he's just not that imp as compared to the others. ( i mean he shud be but he isnt)

And the thing is, it's not only Luka that does replace him. It's Marinette sometimes or Chloe

It happens, Marichat shippers just kinda replace Nino with Mari as Adrien's bestf and they just throw Nino to the side? I mean I love the love square and everything but I genuinely dont understand the reasoning. I get it, it's fanfic but I still don't like it.

And Chloe, ugggh Chloe. I have no idea why Queen B is so popular. Did we forget she almost killed ppl on the train (including Maris parents?) She didn't even earn her miracukous in the first place. Ranting about Chloe aside, I've seen Queen B replacing Carapace a lot of times, some unnecessarily that just makes me wonder why?

As for Nino's personality, we do know some things, we know he loves filmmaking, he was even a DJ at an Agreste fashion show and he's a fan of Noir mysteries and has disguises and blows bubbles.

We know he'll fight for Adrien just like he did in Bubbler (he even defeated Gabriel since hs bubbled all the parents Gabriel was included soooo...)

We know he's loyal to Alya like we saw in Zombizou

We know he's ambitious as we saw in Horrificator

Nino even created Adrienette by convincing Adrien to apologise to Marinette

He does parkour with Alya in his free time

He had a crush on Marinette in the past.

He even set up a party for Adrien with the other boys in Partycrasher.

But the episode where Nino shines the most is Anansi.

Unlike Alya and Chloe who directly got their miraculous( Chloes a diff story but eh)

Nino earned it, he stood there eventhough he was scared and fought a spider akuma for Alya and he even managed to get a few good hits in too! Nino is brave and loyal and good.

My problem with the fandom is they don't acknowledge that at all and reduce him to nothing more than a side character eventhough he's the main char bestf

Luka, a char who is barely there in episodes( the only episodes I see where he had a big impact were Truth and Wishmaker)

And is distant to Adrien as in talking very rarely to him and having no connection or chemistry or whatever; there are more Lukadrien fanfics than Adrino.

Nino a character who has been there since s1 and has always had Adrien's back. It's just insulting.

I think the worst part is we know more about Couffaine family drama and Bourgeois family drama, which we as tge audience never asked for rather than finally seeing Nino's room or atleast his mother.

I mean it's been 3 seasons and we know about Luka's father being Jagged, Chloe having a half sister, Max's mother's dream, Kim's swimming partner, Alya's big sister, Mylene's dad being a mime, Alix's brother, Kagami's love for drawing, Sabrina's father a cop, hell we even saw Lila's room and Mom.

It just doesn't make sense? Wishmaker as an episode is just insulting because Luka really doesn't deserve to know because he just isn't that imp a character. The Dupain Chengs deserved to know, Nino or Kagami would have been a better choice. This just feels wrong

Idk if I'm overthinking things because my fav char is Nino or I just didn't vibe with Luka in the first place. And I'm sorry if I offended anyone with this but in the end it all comes down to racism.

So there's something thats been on my mind for a long time but I wasn't sure if I wanted to say it.

But it's very clear that this happening.

The Ml fandom is replacing Nino with Luka.

Hear me out- this guy Luka, he basically has all the traits Nino has. From music to having a crush on Marinette, it's extremely similar.

However what I do not understand is this overwhelming love for this character Luka who appears in barely 4 episodes and is not at all appealing to someone. (The eyelashes!)

And after wishmaker's release it just feels like the writers are replacing Nino with Luka.

I mean did he really deserve to know? He appears in 3 episodes, is a side character and we know more about him and his family and we haven't even seen Nino's mom yet!

And this is happening, I see it when people talk about miraculous irl or on a social media platform.

Hell even Carapace as a hero the fandom doesn't talk enough about at all. His doll wasn't there but Hawkmoth's was? Even Queen B( who doesn't deserve it) is put on a pedestal by fans!

Even fanfics, there are more Lukadrien fics than Adrino, eventhough Adrien and Nino actually interact with each other more than I have ever seen Adrien and Luka ever do

Why is that?

Could it possibly have anything to do with anything else?

The reason

It was a great day. The weather was nice, the sky clear and the sun shining. Everyone was happy. All of this was noticeable in the way the teams played. There where way more harmonised and the timing of there moves was better. And because of this no one in the 3rd gym expected was was happening right know. Lucius and Ana were in a fight. It was not even just for fun no it was a real fight with a lot of screaming. The other members couldn’t believe that this was happening. This two were the perfect team, the understand each other without words and knewed exactly what the other need. So why? How it even comes so far?

“For Gods sake Ana, can you please put this shit book down and train, because that’s the reason why we are her?” Lucius was angry no, he was beyond angry, he was furious. Every time, every fucking time he needs to drag the red-haired girl around, he needs to search her and to bring her to the training. “Children Luci only this one chapter and I will join you.” Ana was not impressed she knewed that day would come when Lucius snapps but she hadn’t imagen that it would be that bad. In I would even worse. The shoulders of the pinkhaired boy startet to shake and than you could literally see when he had enough, he just slapped the book out of Anas hands and started to getting louder. “ What the fuck ana, why do you always like this?” “Lucius what the hell, what do you think you’re doing, and why do you mean why I’m always like this?” slowly Ana gets worried and also even if she won’t admit it also slowly angry. “What I mean? I MEAN WHY TGE FUCK DO YOU EVEN PLAY VOLLEYBALL IF YOU DONT WANT TO PLAY?” the only response that Lucius got was silence and so he continued “ Every fucking tome were here you just get somewhere and read your silly books, you don’t want to train and you been a bother to me and to the other teammates because we need to search you, so what the hell is wrong with you, why do your even here?” Slowly Ana clinched her fist. “ First of all the reason why I’m planning and why I’m not training is not your problem, and if you don’t want to search for me than just don’t do it. And second of all my books are not silly, so please shut your mouth about things you don’t know. ” her word was cold and no one ever herd her speak in a such harsh tone to Lucius. “ Oh naturally I don’t know why you’re planning or why you even read this shit, MAYBE IT IS BECAUSE I BARLEY SEE YOU WITH OUT THIS SHIT AND YOU ONLY JUST TALK ABOUT YOUR FANDOMS WHICH IM NOT INTERESTED IN.” his voice gets louder and his eyes burned like they were on fire, “ Your lazy, and are a bother to other, we’re a Goddamn team you nerd so wake up and play with the others and lay your books besides.” Lucius knew he was not fair to her, he knew that that what he was saying was rude and totally an asshole move. “BESIDES THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO YOU CAN TALK TO YOU DONT NEED TO HIDE YOU BEHIND THIS STUPID PIECE OF PAPERS.” at this point Ana couldn’t stand it anymore “SHUT UP LUCIUS, SHUT UP ABOUT THINGS YOU DON’T KNOW, YOU DONT KNOW HOW IMPORTANT THESE BOOKS ARE TO ME. YOU KNOW WHAT EVEN IF I TALK TO TGE PEOPLE TGEY LEAVE BUT MY BOOKS ARE ALWAY THERE, THERE HAVE A PLACE WHERE I CAN RELAX AND BE FREE, SO SHUT UP. In the end even you will leave, because you already did once.” with this last whisperd words Ana leaved the gym with teary eyes. And Lucius, he looked like someone has punched hin and also as if he has realised something. “ Well Lucius you fucked up. ” it was Rudy who startet to talk again followed by Sayako which just said that she will go after Ana. “ Can you please tell us what happened rights now because I don’t understand. I always thought you two were a unstoppable team.” As the boy looked up he seems like he was about to cry. “ I think I just messed up pretty bad. I just snapped because I noticed a long time ago that our relationship whas different, to be honest it changed after I got in middle school. I noticed that she separate her self even more behind her books and she doesn’t event want to talk about her private life she just keep mumbling about her fandoms and her books. And now after I heard her words I realised why she acts like this. ”

###with Sayako and Ana###–

At first it was a little difficult to find Ana but then Sayako decided to go to there usual read and nap spot, and luckily The girl was there. Slowly she got to Ana and ask her what just happened. “ I mean it’s normal to fight for friends, but this seems to have a bigger meaning.” Ana just looked with her red eyes to her. “ I… Just… I knowed that Lucius will snap someday… And I wouldn’t even mad about it I mean I know that I can be exhausting and also sometimes annoying, but the commentary about the books really hurts me. ” “But why, I can understand some passions but I have no one se reacting about books like you do Ana.” The girl taked her glasses of and rubbt her eyes. “ You see Lucius and I where always together, it was since I can even remember me, and than he got to middle school, and so much changed for me. I was alone and it was worse for me. I mean a wasn’t bullied or something but it was just so that I had no one in my class or in my school. And then I started to read, I read and read and git lost in this beautiful world of imagination but until the I even wasn’t nearly obsessed with books like I’m use to be today. After some time I noticed that not only the kids on my school doesn’t want to be around me but also Lucius, I know he doesn’t mean to hurt me or even done this on purpose but it still hurts, and I started to read even more, also I started watch different shows and to play games, I need to distract me. And it worked for me, and then I got also to middle school,…. But the damage in our relationship was already done. I can’t stand to be alone and even now I Love Lucius to death but because of that I’m scared to loose him, I’m scared to loose all of you, that’s why I need my books. I need something that will ground me, something that helps me to separate my imagination and the real world. ” Sayako looked with soft eyes on the other girl and huged her. “ You don’t need to be scared to loos us, ne and I think the others will say that too will always be here for you and for each other.” Sayako looked in her eyes. “ And hiw Rudy said, we might be in different teams, but together we can make something great and even if we’re nor related in some strange way we are our own little crazy family. ” “Ana?” A soft voice called her from the back. “Lucius! Did you here everything?!” “Yes sorry I came here to apologise, I didn’t knew how much I was hurting you, in the past and also know. I couldn’t even imagine how important these books are for you so I’m sorry for everything I said and please please talk to me like you used to do, because I swear I will not leave you not a second time, how could I you’re my little sister.” “You know that you’re an idiot.?” “Yes I know and I’m sorry…I….” At this point Ana just huged him “You may be an idiot but you’re my idiot.”

Usability Testing

I will look into how I can create my brand around this project and implement it into an app.

Books to read about usability- dont make me think (revisited), eyetracking web usability and design think make break repeat are the bookks I should definitely take a look at.

Nielsen Norman group has all of its content UX-related thus it could be excellent for my project research.

"Dont make me think!" Everything should be visible, because where you have to think you say why is this there, why nav here, what should i click? Making for a less enjoyable journey.

Things that make us think include naming conventions, unfamiliar technical names and other such topics.

I want the users to not have to think about things such as buttons only because they for example say "Joborama" instead of "job", because that only uses more time within an already-busy day.

What happens when eyes look at words- the eyes will first look at the first and last words and only thereafter try to make sense of it. The ability to extract visual meaning is therefore important.

Pixelation is when the eye focuses on something such as a word and this process happens when the person reads two characters, moving the eyes fast so much that the words are blurred. For this reason it is important to look at Eye Fixation and eye tracking because through such research I found that people read 28% of content from website, and people read most information in an "F" format when it comes to western culture.

It is important to use words that people recognise- words which are skipped because people remember them because this is not dumbing down but opening up. I will think about words that young children will understand and are most likely to resonate with them as easy.

Low frequency words take longer to read as they are not so common.

Return path reading- if the measure of a sentence is too large then people have to read the first sentence again, for this reason each individual word cant be too short or too wide apart.

I will need to look at how to ensure that I dont force readers to work my way but instead make the content work their way. Eg. more primary colours, easier to understand interactivity.

Beginners guide to usability testing

Testing one user is better than testing none...

The importance of recruiting representative users is overrated because the point of testing is not to prove or disprove something, its to inform our judgement.

Testing is an iterative process- it should be done from start to finish.

5 Users should be tested as this was found to be the best in results- companies generally find 80% of the problems with these 5 users.

It doesnt matter who is testing as long as there are 5 users, its not a good idea to design only for the target audience but instead the project should work for all users.

Exceptions

Some things will only be used by certain people for example new employee's at a power plant, because such a project would not be used outside that company.

Usability testing can be done anywhere however its better where no one else can see so to not embarrass the user, a screen and audio recorder should be used for this process. In a test there will usually be a participant, facilitator and observer.

What do you test and when? It is never too early and it should be done at every step of the project. Research on other projects like this can also be done through usability test on other designers' apps/websites to get a feel for possible changes and new or useless features.

Two types of usability testing

The think aloud protocol includes the learning and listerning to users' thoughts, this process can also be done after the test. It is an opinion about the product after it has been used, this process will be done on memory however it will also result in less accurate feedback and therefore it is better to get them to think and say while using a product/service. To do this test I would begin with a prototype, encourage users to keep talking, create a scenario eg. want to buy space for company and mentiom that I am not testing them but the project.

Standard usability test is done by identifying design flaws by testing early and often. On this test we look at efficiency- the time taken to complete task, effectiveness and satisfaction. Therefore we ask how the usef felt when using the product, was typography legible etc. I will need to identify 3 or more tasks- tell the brand name of tge project and ask questions such as "can you identify boiling temp of boron?" I will prepare pre-test and post test interview questions- name, age, education, experience of using apps (system usability scale for post test). It will be important to explain the product and purpose of the test. I will also give written instructions and record observations as well as preparing a report after post test questions.

People need to know that if something doesnt work it is not their fault but the designers. I will have a test script where all users have the same tests thus results will be more reliable and consistent.

There are two types of tests I can choose from- get it test: "what do you think of this" and key task test: asking users to do something then watching them how well they do it.

I will write the tasks like scenarios- letting users step back and make sense of the inital screen. Tasks can include eg. an accommodation deal, want to stay in London- specific resort has deal can you find it?

SUS- is a post test called the System Usability Scale, tries to get to know strengths and weaknesses.

Using SUS is most reliable even with small amounts of testers as it is valid & can be scaled to administrators and users. It has been found that even when an SUS is given months after the test, the results will still stay the same.

SUS can also be used to test 2 user groups and with each group the website or project can be different- eg. colour is red instead of green and interactivity is different.

After the test I should look at: efficiency, effectiveness and satisfaction (SUS) and this then leads to looking at what went wrong and finding prooblem solving solutions.

Typical problems include: users unclear of a concept, words they are looking for arent there or theres too much going on.

Ignore kayaks: users will lose track of where they are and then go back to the main task, therefore I should resist the impulse to add: when users arent getting something it is common for us as designers to add more information instead of making something clearer or removing things afterwards. I should however take "new feature" requests with a grain of salt and instead grab the low hanging fruit: things that are so apparent we dont see them until we test.

Reservoir of goodwill- each problem we encounter lowers the users reservoir thus increasing their chances of leaving, they will want to use website/app however with issues their will to do the task decreases.

What diminishes godwill: things that want to be done arent clearly visible, save steps when possible to get to the goal, not telling the user what they want to know is another mistake and not putting effort into it.

Increase goodwill by: having a nice 404 page, know what questions are likely and answer them, make it easy to recover from issues, when in doubt apologise.

I cleaned out the fridge and kitchen cabinets today. While doing so, I noticed my right hand is quite shaky when i hold things in a specific position. I dont think I have always been that way and am trying to not worry myself. I always seem to fear I have MS, ever since this past summer, when a doctor made a joke about my condition being either anxiety-related or MS. What a guy. I have a big fear of not being in control that has been present as long as I can remember. I always wanted to be the leader of the group as a child whether it was for a group project or play time. I had an eating disorder for most of high school. I get upset when plans change last minute due to unforseen circumstances. I like to think I'm a flexible person, but I'm really not. I'm working on that though! I've been letting my fiance drive everywhere, whereas before, if it were rainy or snowy or a long drive, I would refuse to let anyone else drive, because I felt i was the only one I could trust to do so safely. I feel overwhelmed when i drive now, especially on the highway, which I adamantly avoid. And even on regular streets, I sometimes get that confused feeling I used to sometimes get while playing soccer as a child, where I would look around and think, "what am I DOING?" and it would feel as though i had just awoken from a long nap, into another person's body. It's like I'm energetically split at times. I know i must be incredibly aware of my thoughts and i have been making an effort to change my mental dialogue (about myself and others, too). Writing down these feelings is good for me, because it really does help me to pull them from my head and let them go. I've never been a person who can say to themself "that's not a good thought, I'll forgive and let it go". Each time i try, they just simmer on the back burner until enough steam is built up to blow off the lid. I need an outlet for these things. An outlet that doesn't harm others or myself. I hope that writing these thoughts down doesn't encourage more, similar circumstances to enter my life. That's the thing i dont understand about manifestation. "What you resist will persist". So if i resist these thoughts, i will have more of them, and if i focus on them, I will also have more of them? Maybe writing them out and forgetting about them is what is needed in order to transmute them. I dont really feel tge need to look back on the posts i make here, as I have with previous blogs i have kept. I dont really feel creatively attached to these, which is ideal, otherwise too much thought and care would go into their presentation, and I think that would detract from their purpose.

God of the lost

Deuteronomy 31:2-3 NIV [2] “I am now a hundred and twenty years old and I am no longer able to lead you. The Lord has said to me, ‘You shall not cross the Jordan.’ [3] The Lord your God himself will cross over ahead of you. He will destroy these nations before you, and you will take possession of their land. Joshua also will cross over ahead of you, as the Lord said.

Things that happens in a Loss: 1.) The One Leaving. (Loss of Moses to take a step on the promised Land.) - Of all the people, why moses? Yes i could say the israelites deserved not to see the promise land because of their disobedience, but Moses? He was a leader devoted to God. I didnt find the reason why someone like moses, who had only one mistake was already forbidden to see tge promise land?! I mean come on! The israelites had more than dozen of mistakes, yet God was merciful for the new generation to see it. But Moses? No! You arent allowed to see the promise land? It might have thought provoked at first but one thing that amazed me was that Moses did not rebelled or complained to God against his punishment for the one mistake He did. But accepted it fully without complain. Moses must have seen something beyond the punishment that i did not. Yes, He has indeed have seen something. Moses have seen what was most important. And it wasnot seeing the promise land (Canaan), but finally seeing the real promise land (Being with God). Moses have seen finitely (mortality) of things this world & the infintely (immortailty) of God. And that nothing compares to the importance & the joy of being with God, in this world. That is why Moses was happy to go & happy to accept of not being able to set foot on the promise LAND because it was not the promise land he was seeing that he was going to set foot on, but the unseen PROMISED land (being with God), that he was about to go.

2.) The One Left Behind. (when the Israelites lost Moses as a leader) - For the Israelites, loosing Moses as a leader after 40 years or so of being used of him being there go-to guy for everything from egypt going to the promised land, must have given them alot anxiety, fear, doubt, anger & who knows what every other thing they might have been feeling at that time. It’s never easy being the one left behind & having to fight yet another day alone. Well, goodnews is, we are never alone, God is always & constantly there for us. Our only job is to put our trust & love to the one who is constantly there. To the one who has never left, to the one who will never leave -God.

- Reasons for having a loss: - (1.) REPENT. its making you sin & destroying your love & fellowship with God. Confess your sin & repent. God wants you back He always wants you.

- (2.) REPRIORITIZE. the loss was needed because the person or thing lost was consuming & destroying your relationship with God. God wants you to refocus your life to Him.

- (3.) REFINE. You are living a life already fully for God, yet you experience loss, God wants to refine/ mold you further into becoming the person He wants you to be, so that you will be more effective & empathetic in showing God’s love to the people you are about to reach out with the same experience in the near future.

Like the israelites & every person in this world have experienced a loss in their life. You are either the one leaving, or the one being left. Like any normal being, I to have faced alot of losses in life: Lost family (2deaths), Lost home (calamity), Lost love, lost confidence, lost courage, lost studies/career, Lost life. A series of losses in a matter of 5 years or so. This showed me how finite life could get in this world, that everything i hold dear right now, could just be taken away from me in an instant.

Nothing is permanent in this world. Everything may come & go; Family, friends, love, dignity, hope, courage, career, even life. But Only One remains through it all - God. Only God is permanent. Only He is constant.

Thus,: 1.) i am nothing, i have nothing without God. - since i am not permanent, and everything i have & hold dear in this world is not permanent. I am therefore nothing, & everything i hold dear in this world is nothing, except God. For it is God who is only permanent & it is God who has graciously given me everything i hold dear now. I have them Not because of what i did, but because of Who He is. He has given me all these wonderful things in my life; my family, my friends, my career, my love because He wants to not because i worked hard or deserve them, infact, i dont even deserve to have them in the first place. He has given me all these because of Who He is- because He loves me & He wants me to have them. therefore, using all this things for Him & His glory is the only way i can show Him my gratitude of the blessings He has given me so graciously. For it is said:

Galatians 2:20 NIV [20] I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

Therefore it is only natural for me to: 2.) invest my life on God.

Why invest on God? A.) nothing is permanent. B.) In an instant they could be taken away from me. C.) God is infinite. D.) God gave everything freely to me; my family, my friends, my career, my life, my love.

Thus, Knowing this, i will therefore, give all the finite gifts God has blessed me, for Him to make them all infinite.

Investing myself & everything i have & do to God - the eternal being who chose to love me despite all the losses this world had given me, is the only wise choice i can ever do, for if i give & do everything for Him all my losses will not be in vain but will always be put into gain for Him.

Colossians 3:2-4 NIV [2] Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. [3] For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. [4] When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.

2 Corinthians 5:14-17 NIV [14] For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. [15] And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again. [16] So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer. [17] Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!

How do we TREAT A LOSS? How to be free from loss? - A.) Accept that circumstances like loss really happens no matter how full proof we might think things goes. There are no permanent things in life. Only God is constant. By Accepting that God is GOD & He is in control of everything might we be rested & assured that everything always happen for our best.

- Job 38:4 NIV[4] “Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation? Tell me, if you understand.

- Job 36:26-32 NIV [26] How great is God—beyond our understanding! The number of his years is past finding out. [27] “He draws up the drops of water, which distill as rain to the streams ; [28] the clouds pour down their moisture and abundant showers fall on mankind. [29] Who can understand how he spreads out the clouds, how he thunders from his pavilion? [30] See how he scatters his lightning about him, bathing the depths of the sea. [31] This is the way he governs the nations and provides food in abundance. [32] He fills his hands with lightning and commands it to strike its mark.

- Job 38:18 NIV [18] Have you comprehended the vast expanses of the earth? Tell me, if you know all this.

- Romans 8:28-30 NIV [28] And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. [29] For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. [30] And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.

- B.) Believe. by believing, meditating & claiming on His Promises from the Bible we will be comforted & set free from the bondages we have during the loss.

- Numbers 23:19 NIV [19] God is not human, that he should lie, not a human being, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill?

- C.) Pray & Pour out all your fear, doubts & anxieties on God & not on people. With this we achieve peace from the loss.

- Philippians 4:6-7 NIV. [6] Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. [7] And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

- D.) Obey. Obeying God while we are hurting from the loss, is the best way to treat the loss. Whenever the hurts loss gets back again. Do something for God until our focus gets away from ourselves and into God’s love. This is what we call a sacrifice of praise. That during our time of suffering we praise Him even more! We obey Him even more! Weird but this is the best therapy! This way, We erase our own selfishness, selfpity & refocus from OUR hurts & pains, to become GODs love & care! So that everytime pain comes back to haunt us, we also remember Gods love through those pain. Every cigarette burn, every whiplash of pain, is Gods kiss, God’s hug, God carrying you through that pain.

- Psalm 34:18-20 NIV [18] The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. [19] The righteous person may have many troubles, but the Lord delivers him from them all; [20] he protects all his bones, not one of them will be broken.

- 1 Peter 2:23-24 NIV [23] When they hurled their insults at him, he did not retaliate; when he suffered, he made no threats. Instead, he entrusted himself to him who judges justly. [24] “He himself bore our sins” in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; “by his wounds you have been healed.”

Practical ways to give my infite things (lost things) to God so that He might make them infinite (found things): 1.) people i have & love - share to them about Jesus love (gospel) & make disciples. In this way, i will be able to see the people i have & love come to know Jesus, & when they die or i die, i will still see them afterlife with God. A way better place.

2.) things i have & love - What are the things in my life right now that i value or prioritize first than God? - Invest this things as tools to be used for the furtherance of Gods love. - If its my work - being a doctor- do missions, reach out to medical colleagues, disciple medical students, share my praying skills to patients who needs prayers. - If it is my car- use it as a bus for my friends to safely go home after a care group activity. - If it is my home- use it as a place of study group for my friends

Always remember: nothing is too small or to big to be used for Jesus love. 😊
