Unilodge... again...
7th December 1.33 am.
Haha.. today was really something.. so very umm..reflecting. donno whats the correct word for it
So starting with this morning. Me and yeam headed out for MSO stuff after breakfast. Note our breakfast finished at around 12 pm so we walked for around 3 hours, going to various shops in civic. It was a real experience seeing all the different diverse people. Personally, the prettiest one was the girl at Iori’s! but that’s another story. And then there was this Japanese restaurant next to pancake parlour going
“We hate ANU!. We hate your teacher! Go ask your teacher!”
Ok… moving on.
And then some places got really friendly people and stuff and others were just incompetent workers who thought we were girl scouts selling cookies.
Around two days ago me and yeam went grocery shopping. According to sze huey we bought too many stuff which can’t be finished by Sunday. Haha i think she estimated the eating proportions using her measurements. Sommore today Alec came over (yup, hes still in Canberra!) and kept us company.
Ok.
So heres the important thing of the day. Bassie lent me her borrowed lib book Forrest Gump.lol its been awhile since I last read a book for fun. But my reading skills are still not rusty! So after finishing the book in under 3 hours, I felt well.. accomplished.
But the book has a nice stuff/theme going for it. Its about where we’re going in life and whether we really find satisfaction in the end. In the end, Forrest finds satisfaction primarily because hes an idiot. So he has lower needs and finds pleasures in the simplest things. But I think…
…that for me, I want something much more. I want to know that I’ve accomplished so much, left a mark on the world, be known. But then in Psalm 66: 4-6 it says
”Come and see what God has done, how awesome his works in man's behalf!”
As much as I want all the fame and glory in the world, nothing compares to an everlasting relationship with God, and that’s what I honour above all else. That’s what I put first in my life, even if it may seem like I’m drifting off, I’ll only find true satisfaction with Jesus.
Sometimes its hard to maintain it everyday, most of the time I forget. But knowing that I’m right with God makes all the difference in the world. =)
As Aussies say, have a good one!
