Life is what happen while we’re busy making plans..

I like that quote coz it’s true. Was so busy planning things around I sometimes forgot to live. Yes I live day to day, go to the office, run errands, do this and that, just being busy body. Not enough, I add up more ‘problem’ with trying to see what things look like a few years ahead, anticipating this and that, considering new job offer, weighing the possibility of career change, etc etc. Lethargic.

Most of us have long term plans, short term, etc., also plans that aren’t really plans coz they were merely small intentions and seem unimportant we often forget about it. But when I reminded of it several time, I know it’s important and just need to take action. Procrastinating is just more easier to do.

Been wanting to talk to one of the church elders for months. Not sure what made me want to do that. You may call me cocky, coz most of the time I’ve been able to think things through, and I have people around me who will help me out.

So in church today I was reminded again of that simple intention. Not wanting to put it off I just did it. Talked with a gentleman I didn’t even catch the name and he prayed for me.

Hard to describe why I needed it, but when he finished his simple prayer I felt comforted, and more at peace. I’m not sure which helped more, the prayer or the kind and sincere gesture. Perhaps talking to a complete stranger helped also. I know things would’ve been different if I talk to someone I know. There will be expectations, the response I get will be all too familiar and frequently will lead to an argument instead of good discussion. Well, he didn’t solve my problem, we didn’t even have time to discuss it, yet I felt assured that things will be just fine. For that, I’m most obliged.

Surrounded by Your Glory, what will my heart feel
Will I dance for you Jesus, or in awe of You be still
Will I stand in Your presence or to my knees will I fall
Will I sing Hallelujah, will I be able to speak at all
I could only imagine..
(Bart Millard – Imagine)
