I dunno what to title this....
Day after day goes by. The usual routine. So this is how working life is.
Wake up, have breakfast, read the paper, go to work, sit at computer and type type type, grab a drink, return to computer, go to toilet, return to computer, LUNCH!!, return to computer, grab a drink, return to computer, go to toilet, return to computer, type type type, knock off, FREE TIME!!, go home, bathe, sleep.
at least there's a free time slot in there... my home is practically my hotel now... I've been out almost everyday of the week the past week and I expect that for this week as well. Church has been having revival meetings with Evangelist Victor Rodriguez from Tuedays to Fridays since last week. So I've practically been at church every day since last Tuesday.. except Mondays of course. So its been a packed week. but yet, its not been like a drag of sorts to go. Yes I don't have dinner, only after the service do i go eat if I do eat... but I like, what better place is there to be than in God's house, serving the Master?!
Just last night a few of us were chatting over dinner and saying we should bring in a pool table and put in church.. proceeds will go to building fund... hahaha... but jokes aside, it kinda set me thinking about stuff... i ask myself,
who am I that God would bless me with talents beyond what I ever dreamed...
who am I that God would bring me to places beyond my expectations...
who am I that God would give me an ear and a voice to speak advice and comfort to others...
who am I that God would have people look to me in ways that I wouldn't have seen it in myself...
who am I that God would grant me friends and loved ones who truely show God's love?
If you were to ask me 8,9 years ago, "what kind of person are you?" I would answer this.
I'm just an ordinary kid, looking to live an ordinary life, get a simple job, get married, have kids, grow old, and of course live for eternity.
But ask me now, and I'd say...
I'm just an ordinary kid, with an extraordinary God, that has blessed me more than I could ever imagine, and I'm going wherever He'll take me, cos in serving Him I've gained more than I would have if I hadn't...
Amidst the drudgery of daily working life, I can take a step back and breathe a huge sigh of relief... cos God's been there every step of the way, taking me on a joyride...
