The past few days im working at this outlet that has so little people patronized and in particular, not many people know there is an outlet that actually existed. Anyway, the times i had there was said to be fruitful but at the same time quite miserable. There are so much time there for me to spend and i practically make full use of it! I got more be more knowledgable about world issues that are happening now like the nuclear issues that North Korea is facing and George Bush is having war of words again with John Kerry. I was so bored that i actually went to read up the obituary! How dumb. Anyway Straits Times alone couldn't occupy much of the time i have there, so i actually tried praying and reading christian books there. Usually at level 2, i would want to take a seat but at level 3 i just try standing up most of the time. I jut hope i will go back to level 2 again..
Anyway, as i said earlier on, it was really a fruitful day reading the book by Phil Pringle "You The Leader"and man i felt God is really speaking to me in a lot of areas, right there in that little store. So some of the lines that have actually caught my attention.
- "It is evident that as long as we seek God, as long as we pray, our leadership remains intact?"
- "Talking to men for God is a great thing, but talking to God for men is greater still."
- "Highest effectiveness comes as we poinpoint our lives to that singular high calling of God!"
As long as you seek God, He can still use you. Simple as that? Yup, just that! Sometimes things are not as complicated or difficult as you thought, it's just going back to the basics as was said by shing in her recent blog entry, totally agree to it.
And today's paper actually had a very interesting article that talks about religion. Why people believe there is a God? and when i was younger in the Lord, i don't really know how to tackle an issue like "what makes you believe its God that is behind certain things and stuff.." So this is a very nice answer by a Senior Writer Andy Ho:
To reason mathematically, 1 must believe that 1+1=2 is self-evidently true. Only then, can 1 reason that 22 divided by 11 will give 2 and so on. And in short, to reason at all, 1 must depend on these assumption which analytic philosophers call "basic" beliefs and they are those that seem to me immediately true.
Actually in short, it just means that why people can believe 1 + 1 =2 and 3 + 1 = 4. why can't it be 6 or 8 or 10? It just basic belief and it same applies to religion. Why we believe in Jesus and are so sure that God is real and stuff? It's basic belief and we choose to believe, like how we choose to believe 1 + 1 = 2.
24 more days to school :))
