The ragged pieces of ideas and thoughts of my attempt to live a life as a contemporary monastic in the urban city of Singapore..

 

Having breakfast ....

Have been busy with many 'Martha' moments the past few weeks. However there have also been many 'Mary' reminders nicely spread-out. The first was during last week's care group when God used me to speak to myself (?), then it was during our kid's workshop on Wednesday when i was sharing about 'Knowing God vs Knowing About God'. Then it was lunch yesterday with Jan where we talked about kids and IT ministry and about the Kingdom being 100% man & 100% God.

The latest reminder to have a Mary heart was just a few hours ago during the Staff Devotion where our collegue Limei shared certain reflections of Simon Peter from John 21:1-14. Besides that, a strange question came to me when i read the passage. Why was Peter fishing in undergarments as verse 7 says that he has taken his outer garment off ? I was also excited also that Jesus said "Come and have breakfast" in verse 12 besides the famous line "Come and follow me". Now aren't we glad to have such a wonderful God, our Jehovah Jireh Provider..

Just right after the devotion, a good friend Thomas called to check if we can catch up for breakfast tomorrow morning. Now how can I say no. I'm looking forward to it as I am constantly reminded that while Martha's work is not wrong, Mary's heart is better.
