Reflections & Resolutions

Dear readers,

It is that time of the year once again. It is like having a mid life crisis or perhaps in this case a quarter of a century life crisis. Did I just float along with life? Or did I ardently pursue a path? I just went with the former.

I have lost a number of things this year. I have lost my passion for the many things of God. The events in life have left my soul weary and downcast. Tell me, where do you draw the line between compassion and pity, respect and expectations, love and duty, obedience and sacrifice? I do wonder if my heart has grown cold and numb. Have I compromised my walk with God? Did I let the distractions pull away my focus?

I think love is not loud but silent, deep and strong. And very often it would leave you burnt and alone because love is selfless. Yes, love hurts. Perhaps I should save myself the trouble and heartache and just walk the other way. But how can I deny Him, having experienced His love? I cannot let go of my God.

And my resolutions? To pursue my God. In my abstinence of Him, I have come to realize how His guidance and wisdom taught me to be a better person, how His gentleness instantly quiets my fears and makes me bold, how His humour leaves me laughing and content and how His love and faithfulness keeps drawing me back to Him.

I need to make right with my Lord again.

Dear readers, I must beg your pardon. This might be a sight of me that you have never seen. I was taken by a whim.

Front Inside Ah boy, I sure miss drawing! But I need a project ... hmmm ...

There goes the last drop.

This is what I detest about staying in the hostel: Water Shortage! How on earth is it even possible, when each wing has 2 huge water tanks? It's frustrating allright! When I was washing my clothes in the evening, the water supply was rapidly decreasing. An hour later as I was about to take my bath, there was no water in the bathroom except for the pantry. But of course, I can't very well bath in the pantry now can I? So I rushed to the other wing and thank goodness there was water there but you can tell it's running low. It's a good thing I took my bath then, because now the whole block is out of water. Everybody is going to the next block. It's just like the great Exodus, only this time, the multitudes are carrying pails, towels and soaps. Needless to say, I thought it would be wise to save up some water from the pantry. I have to prepare for the worst. It would probably take them the whole day to fix the problem and I do have an 8 o'clock class tomorrow mornin...
