Rekindling

It's been ages since I've posted here, and I must say the me now and the me from all the way back in August of last year has been facing a whole different set of problems that were far from my mind...

And hence I feel the need to revive this blog, so that my thoughts can be collected and my tendency for introspection be rekindled. Life is hard. That's the one reality that I currently am facing right now, and its plain for me to see that the life ahead will be filled with difficulties that I now may not be able to comprehend. Marriage is one of those prospects, and specifically the monetary aspect of all of that...

I've always thought that my faith can stand all of that, but it isn't as easy as it seems with the looming need to consider everything with faith-less eyes, to count the costs and weigh the future. I'm hoping to keep away from that, and its tough. Now I see why many fall away from the faith at my stage of life, or at least their other priorities swallow them whole. I try to see the bigger picture of a life lived with Christ, but that's even more difficult because people around give advice that only make me see more of the darkness... I've received so many suggestions to go for a comfortably paid job that God's still small voice threatens to be overwhelmed. And for that reason I shall keep my heart and eyes open, and listen only to God.

Its not easy, and I know more than ever that I need God in my life. Its funny how things like these that threaten to tear you away from God can turn around and bring yourself closer to Him. I'm amazed at how God works!

So here's cheers to the rekindling of this blog, and with it my fire for God, my candlestick for all to see in a world of darkness (or at least I hope it has that effect despite my sin)! See you guys here soon!

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

Vanguard

It’s taken a long time, but I think my heart is finally at peace. It’s been a tough journey but I am glad to say the worst of it is over. At the moment am surrounded by those who matter to me and I am doing meaningful things. Truly thankful that God has returned me to such a state.  In this season of Good Friday and Easter the word Vanguard comes to mind. Maybe it’s that season of life where God is exactly that for me, where we will be together in uncharted battlegrounds in both personal and professional life.  Not too sure when my next post will be but hope the next will be better than the last. Until next time!

Ride On

Recently things have been going really well. I've had a leadership position in my workplace for almost one year now and it is quite amazing how God has guided throughout the way. Despite this I feel that I have achieved the balance between my work, personal life and I'm in some sort of a flow that makes me satisfied about how things are going. I'm about to transition to another stage of it, and it feels that along the way God has prepared me each and every step. There's a lot to give thanks for.  Things are really cruising along. I've always liked a good, smooth drive and life feels that way at the moment. Its been a long time along a bumpy road but finally things feel right.  Praise be to God who calms the raging seas. Praise be to God who can be counted on for the hardest difficulties in life.  Not sure when the next post be, but I think if things carry on the way they are, more good posts are to come.
