The ragged pieces of ideas and thoughts of my attempt to live a life as a contemporary monastic in the urban city of Singapore..
Last Sunday, my car was scratched at the front fender and needed fixing. On Tuesday i dropped my glasses,it broke so I went 2 days without my glasses which needed fixing. This morning, we evaluated the children's service and something do need fixing. When I reached home I felt tired and thought how life is hard. Instead of resting I tried to fix a leaking pipe and I flooded the kitchen. When I finally got a chance to sit down, I listened to a CD that Pastor Jeff gave me a while ago which I didn't have a chance to do until then.
The first song was "Above All" the song by Lenny LeBlanc and I realised that when Jesus was crucified on the cross, He needed some serious fixing too. And that's what God did, have Him completely restored that He became the hope of the world. It was in that way that the song touched me. Life may be hard, it may need lots of fixing but God's good at fixing and when things are done with His hands, it'll be a beacon of hope to people around us.
I ask for God to help me persevere.
