Soap Bubbles

Yesterday I was sitting on the ministry and saw bubbles. I saw a man inflated them and admired: «Oh, what beauty, what a beautiful bubble I blew up». And I saw someone else who was looking forward to burst the bubble, so that the man saw that all this was emptiness. I can't say who the second person was: God, the devil or a man. But there was a grin on his face.

And today I was thinking about this blog, perhaps it is also a bubble and there is nothing significant in it. But on the other hand I saw a huge plus.



Yes, bubbles are empty and they do not have sense, but how do they entertain someone who swindles them. Because the one who does them, gets a lot of pleasure from the process itself and of short-term result. Yes, bubbles burst quickly and from them there is nothing left. But for someone who blew them, they will remain as a very good and positive emotion. Children love to inflate bubbles, and I remember how I tried to inflate them more, and when someone blew them I loved to spin in them. It was fun and brought a lot of positive emotions. For me in my childhood it was something unusual, they all liked to inflate bubbles. Now, unfortunately, adults do not blow soap bubbles, well, except that when they have children, then they together with them fall into childhood.


Now, about the blog. Perhaps this blog is also a soap bubble and it's empty and short-term, but we girls like it. Because the purpose of this blog was not to teach or (great word) to SERVE. No, we don't even know whether it is read. The essence is to do something we have not done before, and it is to open more. Be ourselves not only among someone we know. Many people say that young people in the networks are freer. Well, thank God, that they may at least somewhere be themselves. Because I was faced with such a reality, that it's not easy to be yourself among those whom you do not know and do not see. Once I talked to one girl and I asked her to write an article and we put it in the blog. She categorically refused. I told her that no one would know that she wrote it, to which she replied to me: «but I will know that I wrote it» And she's right on all 100%! The essence of the blog is not to write articles so that someone could read, but to be yourself. This blog may be the next bubble and it's not good, but for us, those who ventured to try something that we had not previously done, is the victory over ourselves. For someone it is the victory to open, for somebody to see that he is clever. Personally for me this is the opportunity to do something where I can't check the result. My brain had for so long been programmed to see the result, that I stopped to receive pleasure from the process. Even for me, this blog is an opportunity to be myself and enjoy it. My personal victory is when I stop thinking about the result and stop asking myself the question «What is the purpose of it?» and will be myself. 


Perhaps this blog won’t exist for a long time, but each of us will remember what God did through this blog. The greatest victory is not to conquer the world but get freedom over yourself. In fact, there are many soap bubbles, which do not bear deep truth: singing in the kitchen, dancing in bathroom, biking, and drawing on asphalt or building castles in the sand - all these little things bring us pleasure.


I don't see anything wrong in soap bubbles. I do not think that it is a waste of time. They bring joy and smiles, let them exist and be the joy to everyone who sees them.
