~May Your Light Shine :D~

i have finally hitched onto the facebook wave. as always, i am what you can call 慢半拍。 despite all my declarations that i will never sign onto it as everyone had it, i still gave in to peer pressure. it truly is a very good time waster, however after the initial stage, I doubt I will spend more than a few minutes a day doing the necessary maintenance work. I agree its a good way to share photos and I guess it will be replacing my photo blog.

Such things can be addictive and are extremely time consuming. If one is not careful, you may find time slipping through your fingers easily and before you know it, your entire holiday is gone. That is what I am most afraid of.

Every year, I resolve to make my holidays fruitful. Every year I fail to do so. Watching a couple of shows, meeting up with friends and even doing a little part time work, and soon it is time to go back to Adelaide. Not that all these are a waste of time. Its just that I have big dreams of making a difference somehow and well, every year my life seems to stay the same.

I guess I am a dreamer and I really want to move on from just dreaming big dreams, to making them happen. I am not sure how exactly I will go about doing so and I am pretty sure I will be ridiculed along the way. However, one thing I am sure is that as long as I put my heart to it and God-willing, even the most impossible dream can happen.

Speaking about God, brings me to the topic of spending time with Him. If there is one resolution I want to make, it would be to spend more time with Him. Instead of spending countless hours in front of an inanimate object, my time is best used cultivating my relationship with Him. Just like how couples in love can always be seen together, how can I who profess my love for Him fail to spend as much time as possible with Him? Spending time with Him need not be simply poring through the Bible every waking hour. It can also be a simple act of thanking Him for the meal or asking Him to guide you through life's daily choices.

To make things easier, we know that His thoughts of us outnumber the grains of sand (Ps 139:17). Now how can we not think about a God like that?
