Thinking about the past year.. lyrics of yet another song came to me .. People Need the Lord..
Everyday they pass me by,
I can see it in their eyes.
Empty people filled with care,
Headed who knows where?....
Perhaps.. often enough we walk around headless.. not having sufficient direction and continue the path that we once walked just for the sake of it..
I suppose it's always good to stop n do a check list of what we wanna achieve.. and sure.. sometimes being light hearted. taking things easy can be a better way to lead this trouble filled life.. BUT on hindsight.. perhaps.. understanding our purpose n direction makes us a better person and only realise upon lookin back??
Did a countdown at church yesterday and as the bells rang at the stroke of midnite.. the pessimist in me went.. shux.. what have i achieved..
and then the optimist interrupted e disappointment with .. great ! it's a new year once again!!
What Ron said to me made me realise that yea.. I have undoubtedly been a lil tough on myself.. setting standards that may not even be ideal ones..
So, I went back after service.. declining offers to go to Loof and to Grace's house to drink.. I figured...
I should rest for the journey ahead..
In the last few months.. my goals have been tossed around due to temporal temptations brounght upon by myself.. Lost focussed in God, in work and in my pursual in the balanced life.. Last week of holidays was filled with much drink that gave me shorter days and longer nights.. basically Exhaustion..
So last night i decided.. enough of that.. time to sober up and start the year right..
I prayed in church for the people around me, my family, my mar, my kid..for Him to bless all these people around me, for Him to be more real in their lives and to continue to provide for my family and I just like He's faithfully been and that someday God will provide the GCB for me..
Simple and yet I know that He might take it away from me whenever He pleases. But I know what he takes away from me He will also provide..
So this 2008 I hope to set it right.. coz...[2Corinthians 12:10] when I am weak, I am Strong.. and in Christ I hope to be stronger..
May this year be a year of Fulfillments, Righteousness and Goodness.. Amen

may this new year 2008 be filled with happiness and blessings.. =)
Babe,
Al Pacino (one of my favorite all time actors) once said, "My weaknesses... I wish I could come up with something. I'd probably have the same pause if you asked me what my strengths are. Maybe they're the same thing."
In order for anyone to say that they want to improve, change, better themselves, etc... I think it's important to understand and accept themselves for who they really are. Our good and our bad are flip sides to the same coin.
I guess for the sake of sanity, one should endevour to liken the faces of the coin to one another as much as possible...heh, or would that be too boring and dimension-less?
To walk away from part of one's own self can't be too good.
Maybe what's necessary is to make the good slightly naughtier, and the bad that much more obedient...
i bet those were ramblings from the devil.. make the good slightly naughtier?? oh man...
the devil never did have as many issues as people do... ;p
