Better Now.
I am feeling much better today and just want to give a big shoutout to Anonymous and Tisha for leaving words of encouragement on my tagboard yesterday and today. Looking back on what happened yesterday, I could easily dismissed it as another emo-moment of mine but I feel that I still have to thread this line on tip-toes carefully. Because many a times, our logical mind will just dismiss it as a one time event but there might be underlying reprecussions.
Throughout these years, I have also realised that not all of your good friends are going to come from the same church that you attend or as a matter of fact be of the same faith simply because in different situations and contexts, the very person we accept or view as a good friend is based on a different set of criteria; which is of course derived from the needs we have at that point of our life.
Of course I understand the importance of deciding who gets into your inner circle of friends because that will ultimately determine your destiny but at the same time, you will need a good mixture of the faithful and the street-smart peeps to balance your life.
A few weeks ago, I spoke to a close friend and he asked me a question that set me thinking; He asked if all the people that we know in church are all the goody two shoe people; nice and kind but lacking in the area of street smartness and wit. Immediately that set me thinking and I feel that to a certain extent; yes that is quite true. However, I feel that if we truly want to engage the society, we can well do so and exceed the rest of society at large.
Being a Christian doesn't automatically make you a better person, a more knowledgable and certaintly not a more trendy person. However, it does give you an opportunity to make a decision to change because we can dig in the faith we have and trust in Him that while we change, we ourselves don't get lost in the midst of the changing process.
I want to be a person whom I see as the ideal target that I would want to realise before the year comes to an end in 8 weeks. My targets are as follows:
1) To improve in my personal and social Etiquette.
2) To be a sharp dresser
3) To exercise at least 3 times a week
4) To be disciplined in managing my finances
Before I end off, I am really blessed to have Ms R as my friend because although we don't know each other for long, but everytime we talk, its not just plain talking but heart to heart communication. The ironic thing is we can only be good friends! But having said that, I am really contented to be your good friend and I know you feel the same too.
I am still believing Him for His provision because I know that He is real.
