Press to Re-start
Just jotting down another quick note for myself. I'm not sure...I think... maybe the pandemic is ending! I mean cases are still exploding even though testing has decreased but things seemed to be opening again and the severity (for the vaccinated) seems to lower. What I mean is ... I'm feeling aliiiiive again! The body is moving, the brain is moving again and I'm on the moove~
Last week, I headed down to Bugis for service with some friends and the service really hit the spot. It was wake up call and gentle reminder that ... maybe my perspective has been wrong all this time. As much as I would like to think that I'm the protagonist of my story... I'm not. God isn't here to make my life easy, to answer prayers and fulfil my desires.
It's not about what HE can do for me. It's about what HE can do through me. What is my purpose?
Down the rabbit hole
On a more vapid note, I've done it! Gone down the rabbit hole on a new digital adventure! It only took a giant shove from an overzealous cellie who helped me to set up my profile.
So now begins a journey of ... learning to communicate again, sometimes stale questions and invariably answering messages gingerly and with much trepidation.
Can I pause for a moment to just appreciate... that people can be so very different? It's like a deja vu moment from when I graduated from 10 years of being in the same school and I had to learn how to communicate with not-my-schoolmates or classmates who more-or-less spoke the same lingo. I realized that... there are people out there who speak English, but it's not my kind of English? There are people who don't understand sarcasm, don't understand my humour... maybe they don't have a sense of humour !?
It's all just very fresh. Like I've just landed on the moon. There is surely life out there, but it's just a wee bit disorienting because gravity isn't quite the same here and maybe I'm just looking at everything through fish-eye lenses.
