The ragged pieces of ideas and thoughts of my attempt to live a life as a contemporary monastic in the urban city of Singapore..
A colleague's going to be a first time father in a bit less than 9 months time. With a recent invitation to a baby full month party and my conversation with mum in KL about how cute my sister's baby is, reminded me how special babies are. Babies also at the same time remind us how special we all are.... being chosen from millions and millions of little sperms and countless (ok at least most men don't) eggs to be made & born is indeed special.
Like the prophet Jeremiah, I believe God knew us even before we were formed in the womb (Jeremiah 1:5) Believing that, I also have to believe that God has set us apart for something in His purpose.
We are all special, created for a reason and God has specially chosen us to make a difference in the life that we live not merely for ourselves but for others. We all fit into the greater scheme of things in God.
So don't despise our lives. Live it and live it to the full.
