hmm.. overheard a conversation 10 minutes ago. i'm still trying to type out my social context essay in NIE library but getting distracted easily. resulting in the fact that i've spent two hours in the library and have only churned out three paragraphs. Anway, it was an interesting conversation worth following:
"i used to think that being a missionary meant travelling
overseas, preaching to the nations but then i realised that one could
be a missionary even at home, in schools and at our workplace. If
we can't even share Jesus to our classmates, how can we even
be missionaries in another country!"
How true, how obvious.. what a reality check for me. I know
that i've not
been doing very well spiritually these few weeks, feeling that
i've grown
stagnant and thousand and one reasons are beginning to
crowd out thoughts about
God in my heart. Trying to hold on valiantly, fighting back the
inertia and
lethargy to pray and read the word. The more i forget each
day to ask for grace,
the more i find myself becoming short-fused, selfish and
apathetic. I want to
have faith when He returns again. in my mind there are so
many reasons and
directions that i want to pursue but the one thing i really need
is the time out
from all the activities and the mentality to seek Him come
rain or
come shine.

hmm.. still a long way to go.
