The ragged pieces of ideas and thoughts of my attempt to live a life as a contemporary monastic in the urban city of Singapore..
I was asked by a colleague to share my testimony during the coming leaders retreat. The first thing that came to my mind was " I'm so busy I do not have time to prepare ". But before I could tell him that, he told me it would be about time management and he wanted me to share about how I always found time to do all that is required of me despite my heavy work and family responsibility.
So there, I'll be sharing my testimony about time management in the coming camp.
I'm freaking out because i realise I don't have enough theology to explain how I manage my time. Anyway i thought about what a testimony should be. Is it suppose to be so clever, so clear that everything making sense ? What if I haven't figure out everything and somehow God is doing something supernatural that doesn't make sense at all (which he often does). Shouldn't a testimony be a real story, with our struggles, realisations, dreams as well as the wonder of God, rather than just a series of doctrinally correct statements. Well, if so then, I really should speak truthfully and let God be glorified through what He is really doing in my life. Anyway its not like a lot of things in life can be easily figured out in the first place.
