Yelloooww peeps!
Long time no blog!
Life's been busy, as usual.
Live update.
Trying the eyelash extension last week. Bahaha!
I felt a bit bimbo-ish myself. Well. Never say never.
But it turned out quite great.
Woke up with bigger eyes and (kinda) fresher looks.
They say it should lasts for 3-4 weeks, but I think those lashes were just too delicate for me.
Two weeks tops, I say.
See how lol.
Current hobby : cafe hopping.
Have visited a few cafes located in 'rural' area (if Singapore got any).
Best part is when we're researching which one to go, leafing through people's blog and food diaries.
GoogleMap-ing or GoThere.SG-ing best routes to be taken, I feel like some kind of Indiana Jones in my own treasure hunt.
My own cafe-hunt. Bahaha yeah right.
Okay. Get to the 'pondering' part.
Last week Mom shared her office fellowship's material.
I don't remember all (my bad my bad), but it's about taking up the cross.
I didn't think too much about it. I listened.
The understanding part came a few days later. LOL. Slo-mo.
Many people heard 'taking up the cross' and they start thinking of dragging a dinosaur-like weight for the rest of their lives.
In her share, Mom took an example of a labor who were asked to buy a sack of rice.
Carrying the sack, he would go straight to his boss's place.
There's no way he would go wandering around, well, because the sack was heavy.
He would be focusing on the task at hand, which was to deliver the rice to his boss.
I think I mentioned on earlier post, how I was reminded of the responsibility given to me.
That life is short, that time couldn't be turned back, nor repeated.
And this realization, that I, WE, have a purposed given specifically to each and everyone of us, was never meant to weigh us down.
On the contrary, this 'cross' was meant to keep us focus on our track.
It helps us to ignore the distraction that comes along the way.
I am captivated by this song I heard a few days ago.
Thousand times I fall. Countless times I disappoint God.
I was distracted by so many beauties of the world, like a kid following a broken kite.
Happiness can be found anywhere. But they would disappear in a fleeting second.
And once our 'glorious moments' were gone, we would be left even more dissatisfied than before.
Then what's this life all about?
Well. Listen to the song once again.
I abandon every distraction My attention is set on You My devotion, Jesus my portion My affection is set on You
I was made to worship, I was made for Your embrace I was made for worship I was made to bless Your name
I will bless the LORD at all times I will bless the LORD at all times I was made to worship I was made to bless Your name
I will shout Your praise forever I will shout Your praise forever I was made to worship I was made to bless Your name
Captivated by Your goodness Overwhelmed by Your majesty Swept away in Your holy presence Giving over all of me
My heart and flesh cries out For You to fill me up You satisfy me Fill me with Your power and truth Fill me with love from You You satisfy me
We were made to worship.
Like shoes made to protect our feet when you put them on.
Or a sweater made to keep us warm when we actually wear them.
Put them on the box on the shoe rack or on the cupboard, they wouldn't be much of a use.
They'll go wasted.
So do we.
This life was given to us so we may worship God.
We worship God THROUGH our lives. Daily ones.
The thing is, most of times we live our lives for ourselves.
The focus of our lives is no longer on the Creator.
Like a pair of pretty Louboutin kept inside the box and never worn.
What good does it make?
What good does it make, if this live is no longer pleasing for God?
