The ragged pieces of ideas and thoughts of my attempt to live a life as a contemporary monastic in the urban city of Singapore..
We will be celebrating Mei Si's birthday this weekend, Mag will be away on a company trip and HopeKids LIVE! will be launching on the very same weekend.
The thing about anticipating is that it'll always affect your present. It'll make you work out what needs to be done in anticipation. And while its stressful its quite necessary. While its quite necessary, it may sometimes be not so important.
What I think is important is that we love and be loved. We ought to anticipate more of these types of things though there's nothing wrong with the other.
Instead of oh no, I need to prepare for this and that or have I done this or that.. maybe we should have some anticipation like .."oh have I loved this person or cared for him ? Hey, I really need to write her a card or give him a call. I need to do this by tomorrow or else it'll be bad for this person".
We ought to also say ..."I really need God's love today... I'll spend some time with him to tell him about my problems with the things I anticipate & I need to do it RIGHT NOW".
We live in such a fast society which cannot be caught. But we can catch God and things of him because he has made those things catchable (and really worth catching). It'll affect the fruits of the rest of the things we anticipate.
