I shall say this with a sigh.
I should be practising my violin now,
but I'm here, blogging on my computer,
yawning and struggling to stay awake.
barely awake.
my violin is beckoning me.
I can't ignore it.
yesterday,
I went to see marilyn off at the airport.
Reached there 3 hours earlier and just sat at Coffee Bean,
reading the bible.
I do like the airport.
That ephemeral feeling, that holiday atmosphere.
which reminds me... I actually dragged Paul there on the last day of VBS
to watch the planes take off and munch on nachos.
Good memories
haiz.
oh and today as I was walking home,
I saw the sky in a beautiful ballerina pink shade,
that faded to purple as it ascended.
And I realised more acutely that our Heavenly Father made all these
that our little problems and troubles,
how much do they count for
in light of all His creations?
when you look into the face of a young child,
one fully understands what He means by
"made in the likeness of God"
because they are so innocent, so pure, so beautiful
and sometimes when I step on that crunchy looking leaf,
I realise the fragility and ephemeralness of life.
how long do we have here, on earth?
it's like putting an expiry date on everything
and you realise that nothing lasts forever.
and even ourselves,
one day we'll grow old and all our dreams, our hopes will be but a thing of the past
and what then do we look forward to?
if human relationships fail to outlive us?
and who we were when we were young,
rich, famous, beautiful, talented, respected...
does it matter anymore?
sometimes I think I chase too much for the worldly possessions
and then I stop and think,
maybe its so much easier just to do His will.
and He will make my path straight.
