Reminders

Post 487.

Bored... For most of the day kept my computer off, and realized how much it really meant to me. Because all the entertainment I have is on the internet. Gotta start going out more often just for the sake of it, maybe for something random and not work, spiritual or friend related. Perhaps a walk at the nature reserve opposite my house is in order. Yup, just lying down on a grassy patch would be good.

Besides that, the weekend has been one filled with reminders that are due:

Was reminded when talking to Aaron and Max what I truly, purely desired for Gihon. All I want is for them to become closer and closer to God, and that is all I've been asking when I pray for them, because it is the most important and beautiful thing in the world. Perhaps on the way while being with Gihon I forgot about how simple it actually was.

Was reminded to seek God, especially when I prepare to teach others. This weeks SYC reminded me there will be a time when I will face God, and have to answer to Him how I've used the gifts I've been given, and whether I was working on His strength or mine. In the end, it is not about the leader, teacher or preacher, but God's truth and God's word, and I needed to see that once again.

Was reminded that Jesus is always with me, through Canon Wong Tak Meng's sermon on Sunday. Yes, God is on His throne in heaven, yet He is willing to come down to our level to have a relationship with us, and offer His comfort to us no matter who we are. He loves us no matter how different we are from each other, and that knowledge should be more than enough for my life.

Its great how being in the body of Christ does amazing things to a person. And so thank you God for the reminders.

Digimon

 I'm feeling quite nostalgic and have been thinking about my childhood a lot recently. A lot of it is because of the retreat I just had with my CG members and how having such a retreat reminded me of days that were more slower paced and more relaxed.  It makes me want to relive some of my memories. Two ways that I've thought about is soccer - I've been watching some of the World Cup matches, and it reminds me of the late nights I had watching matches when I was 15 or so and just starting this blog. About how soccermugger came to be in the first place and how I wanted this platform to post about soccer scores and how I felt about the matches I watched. The other way is to watch old anime, and I'm thinking about revisiting the first ever anime I watched which was Digimon. It was televised in Mandarin at 8am, and I remember waking up early on the weekends to watch it fervently. Maybe its time to do that again.  In general I guess my inclinations are to be more at ease and ...

Gamble

It's been quite some time since the last post, and time has just been ticking on. I'm entering a new phase in my career in a new office at Queenstown. Things are good on the work front, as I've been given a vote of confidence and responsibilities despite my young age. Eventually I'll be getting re-designated as a Team Leader, and looking forward to it! It's a sign that I am well versed enough in the work. Another part of my life that has been looking up - playing keys/bass for the newly created Saturday Service for church. I feel that spiritually things are well despite the turmoil of last year. A great sense of fulfillment and meaning whenever I do that, as if I'm back to my roots. In terms of leisure the usual things:  1. Soccer - Late night matches (back to the good old days) 2. PS4 - Trying to finish off Tales of Berseria, moving on to Assassins Creed: Origin thereafter 3. Anime - Still watching the good old stuff that is still going on (One Piece, Yu-Gi-Oh,...

Of God and Demons

Now that'd I've put my last phase of life past me and have some more time to reflect cos I'm C+ for the second time, I feel that it's the correct time to do a bit more reflection about my past, especially the last couple of years. I've always thought that one of the counseling exercises practiced would be helpful for me to process what I've been going through - that is to personify my negative emotions. In a sense to experience that final bit of release from these emotions that have threatened me for a long time. To talk about the inner demons that I've been facing.  Wrath. The fiercest of them all, yet gentlemanly in some ways, calculative in others. People usually imagine wrath to be brawny, in your face and belligerent. But my Wrath is more sinister, sly even. Plotting the downfall of my enemies and using the knowledge that I have to exact vengeance. Over the months I have exerted control of him by reminding myself that only God has the right to judge. De...
