Hmm...
I'm sitting in front of my com with the intention to blog.. But nothing substantial is churned out!!
They said writing is generative.. I'm being obedient here.. Jus typing to see if something starts flowing.. Because I feel the need to log in some of my developments and insights but I don't know where to begin..
Ok. I know. I am quite surprised at my sense of humor, or candidness (if there ever is such a word). It's like I feel like I look at life with a rainbow tinted lens and it's not that hard to see the humor in it anymore. I hope I'm not causing envy here cos it's not that life is particularly good nowadays. Well I got a lot to give thanks for but I sure have my fair share of trials and tribulations.
でも心にへ安があります。But I have peace in my heart.
My worldview has changed too. When you realize there's a Sovereign God in control of it somehow things don't hit you so hard. You no longer feel like the world is crumbling down on you. You may be surprised but I once behaved like the world would be crumbling down tomorrow.. Everything must be done today. Any idea that I think about and sounds good must be implemented today. The only problem with that thinking is you have too many unfinished projects under your belt. Imagine if you were an architect builder you'd have many plots of half-built buildings. They are totally useless and they take up space too. Now I find out what God has made me to do in this season and just do them faithfully. There's still room to explore ideas, but all are to be submitted to the Master Builder for approval. =) Of course, you take it to trusted friends who are able to give you wise counsel too. Or just objective, unadulterated feedback.
The other thing about thinking the world is crumbling down around you is this; you react to every single situation. And trust me, the reactions get more and more negative. In the end, a self-fulfilling prophecy emerges. The world really crumbles down on you. We're never called to live by sight, or react to circumstances. We are called to respond to truth. Now this one takes many instances to learn. I can understand it in one arena but I may not in another. But God is faithful and always ready to teach a lesson or two.
Whoa! Will you look at the time! 12.14 am already. See, writing is generative. Oh well, hope you've all learned something from my post. =) Glory to God for being my patient teacher.
Ciao.
