| | How do one start to update a blog that is overtaken by so many things? Is a monthly visit into this territory sufficient.... usually not but can more time be spent on here... hard to commit given the lack of motivation and ROI.
Ya, I guess the ROI thing has gotten to me quite a bit these days.
But it is true, is there a Return of Investment? Everything we have is precious resource, time surely must be placed here way above money. Although some people might say that money, they dun have but time, aplenty. I think that time is one resource that we possess that is truly invaluable. How we spend it is or invest it will one day be accountable. God will surely require me to account for it. Assuming I have 7 candles, my 4th candle is certainly burning out fast, and what have I been investing all this time on? I ask myself that question numerous times this two months, but I never answered myself satisfactorily.
As someone else once said: "When we are young, we spend our time wanting to change the world but we fail terribly. When we are old, we spend our time wanting to change the youths, but we fail terribly. If only we spend time changing ourselves, we might change the young and old people we are close to and that might even change the world."
So how am I changing myself? That is a perplexing question that I hope to ask God one day. SP came up to me last week and said that he's finally seeing me smile again. I guess the gnaw and the pain of this questioning is beginning to abate. And who knows, I might find the answers real soon.
Esp now that I am coming to terms with my non-running regime. So even as Paul and Co. excitedly prepare for the 1/2 marathon, I siit around daily nursing my injured knee: BOTH knees. No more running for a long time, I guess. Think I clocked an amazing whole 30k all of this year: TOTAL. Would have done that in week had it not been the case. Oh how God seeks to change me. . . . . . .Bitter pill to swallow but I wait for a time when His will is revealed.
Tapestry is now over and I must say it is probably one of the best things that have happened to everybody. United both young and old. Gave all a chance to see the talents amidst us: for the supporters, the helpers and including the bands. Gave all a chance to see how separate we are but yet are as one. Gave all a chance to see how with seed faith, God can grow it into an mighty oak. Gave all a chance to see that as individuals, no one can achieve nothing but together under the house of God, we are AMAZING! Even the smear, that speck on each of us seemed not evident as joined hearts together with God. Which is why I totally agree with Rev Abel Thomas: Love Your Church, You Must.
Go now, I will.
