Future.
When I was a kid, I thought and spoke like one.
When I was a teen, I thought and spoke like one.
Now I am an adult, there is a desire in me to speak and think maturely; and that usually means a few more steps ahead into the future. Because it is no longer about living for the day, but preparing for the next few days too.
Once upon a time, I looked upon my working parents and really admired their financial freedom, worklife and social life. Being free from tons and tons of school work seems an eternal escapade for me back then. And yes you guess it right; I wasn't really studious back then and as such, I didn't get very good grades from Primary - Secondary level. Life changed when I went into Poly, got to know new friends and eventually got introduced to the greatest friend of all, Jesus. I started to take my life seriously, plan, mug for my studies, attend weekly cgms and services and started to sing in the church choir. My life took a 180 degree turn for the better. More excitement and more fun I would say. Even though in the past 7 years I had my fair share of ups and downs, I am glad that I wasn't going through all of this alone. Jesus was with me all these while. Really.
Sometimes, life can get so busy and complicated; more so as you grow into adulthood and embrace the working adult lifestyle; bills to pay, financial commitments, career progression considerations, family and many other things fighting for your attention that we cannot hear God at all. Thus, whilst we continue to cope and manage our life's commitments to the best of our ability, we have to continually rely on His strength every single day of our lives.
It never fails to amaze me how tangible God is and it's been a privilege to serve in the choir. Everytime I sing on stage, I try to remind myself that it is not for personal edification or glory but to experience His presence more and more; deeper and deeper so that we can in turn be a conductor to transmit His presence to the congregation. Many a times, my deepest hurts, worries, wounds were healed by His presence raining down on me during worship. As such, my burdens were lifted, hurts were healed and people were forgiven.
It is going to be exciting times ahead as the both of us embark on our journey together and prepare for it in the months ahead!. I am truly very blessed to be able to love and care for you dear in my life and it never fails to amaze me when God provides, He really provides us with the best He has for us. Even though, we are both a Work In Progress, but let us continue to strive to draw closer to God and be more loving to each other as well as the people around us yar?. :) . I am very happy that throughout the past few months, we have got to know each other more and deeper every single day. The times that we prayed together, laughed together, joked together, ate together will always be something that I will treasure for the rest of my life. And I will never take you for granted.
One step at a time; One brick at a time; and may the construction begin. :)
I love you very much dear!. :)
Although we don't know what surprises the future holds, but we can determine how we prepare for it. :)
Ciao folks!
